First wanted to direct you to the Official 2017 HHN-27 Thread. There you will find all things HHN you need.
Breaking down the packages verses paying separately and running numbers is your best bet. This will help you find a deal that suits your pocket book.
You only get Unlimited Express pass included when staying at RPR, HRH and PBH. This pass is only good during the regular park hours. That Unlimited Express is good for day of check in and check out.
There are two Express Pass purchase options also. Express (one express ride per ride choice and Unlimited Express pass which is Unlimited rides on ride choices).
Looks like the APH packages includes stay at Sapphire Falls as their preferred option package and Cabana Bay as the prime budget package.
Staying onsite will give you the option to come back to resort for a break during the day before you head back to HHN during the evening.
The preferred package includes the night at the resort, your HHN ticket for the night and the 2017 HHN pin. That package with Express purchased separately for the night of 10/31 would be about $256.00 per person with estimated tax and parking. Remember that does not include your Unlimited Express during the day. Prime package at Cabana Bay with Express purchase separately about 248.00 per person with estimated taxes.
Remember If you choose the packages and want the Unlimited Express Pass for the regular park hours that will be extra cost per person.
Looking at that date now you could get the room at HRH for 329.00 for both of you and you need to add $ 22.00 for parking per night and taxes to that. Buy your ticket with the coca-cola discount for two people at 59.99 each = 120.00 and Express pass for that night of HHN is 89.99 each =179.98. Which puts you about $ 694.98 with rough estimate on taxes. This option will get you unlimited Express for the day you check in and the day you check out. It will also give you the option of coming back to the resort and resting before you to HHN that evening.
You could lock in your room now and keep watching for present rate and watch for AP discounts and call and get the better price.
So your looking at a difference of about $ 182.98 on separate room at HRH with Unlimited Express pass for the regular park hours included for day you check in and out, HHN ticket for one night, HHN Express purchase verses package adding HHN Express purchase.
HHN ticket with AP discount for the 10-31 is $ 59.99 + HHN Express $ 89.99 = 149.98 x 2 = 299.96 plus tax.
You need to factor in the cost of your daughters day ticket and your AP cost to above prices.
If it were me I would book the room separate at best rate at RPR, HRH or PBH (watch for the room price to drop with AP discount if it does) buy the AP discounted HHN ticket for the night and the Express for HHN for that night.
With this option you will have Unlimited Express for 2 days, admission for your HHN that evening and your Express for HHN and the ability to come back to your resort and freshen up and rest before the night of terror
No matter what option you choose have a great time at HHN with your daughter. You will both have a blast
