Planning on my first HHN this year on September 15th as well. Still debating on RIP tour vs Express pass. Am only planning on one night so want to get the most out of it I can.
We're the opposite, we went twice last year opening weekend and closing weekend, 8 nights total. We bought Rush of Fear Plus passes w/express for about $600 each. SO WORTH IT! The passes were about $280 but that's the cost of tickets for less than 3 nights on the weekend, and the $310 add on for Express was worth it too. The two nights we wanted express it would have been about $270 anyway!If you're going twice then you probably don't need an express pass as you should be able to get through all the houses with two nights. But, it really is nice to have! Thanks to that we were and to do all the houses in one night, repeated two, and saw the shows (those are not my favorites, this year we'll skip them and just spend more time doing other stuff)
For one night I recommend the RIP tour. If you can, get 10 people and do the private RIP tour, worth every penny.Planning on my first HHN this year on September 15th as well. Still debating on RIP tour vs Express pass. Am only planning on one night so want to get the most out of it I can.

Yes, this is what I would do. Actually, I realized it is technically what we're doing. We'll be in Orlando two separate weekends this September and could do HHN twice (hadn't thought about it), but regardless we'd rather have one good night for the money.the more I think about it, more I think we'll just do express.....lines last year were so crazy.
Honestly, these days, I'd rather have one relaxing night with express pass than 2 nights waiting in long, hot/humid lines. But I have no patience for 90 min-2+ hour lines like I used to. If you asked me 10-15 years ago, my answer would have been opposite. I used to choose 2 nights and skip the extra express pass cost. But it used to be a lot less crowded midweek back then- today every night feels like the weekends used to - mobbed.However, now debating if I should just get 2 nights of tickets, no express, or 1 night with express....2 nights would probably mean spending on another night at Universal. What would y'all do? 1 night w express, or 2 nights no express?
hey……one of my dates for my trip matches yours (12)Count me in! Booked 9/8-9/18! Waiting for them RoF + Ex tickets
I picked that weekend because I didn't want to come across mobs of vloggers on the first weekend and hopefully touring plan guides will be up by then (as in which houses to go to first, etc.) Guess I'll be seeing you guys that day too ;DLooks like the weekend of the 9/15 is shaping up to be a popular weekend with DIS’rs
You are going have more people on Friday or Saturday night than you are on a Wednesday. If you are a local who has to go to work the next day, probably going to wait until Friday or Saturday instead of Wednesday staying out to 2am and then trying to work in 6 hrs.Are HHN all capped at the same capacity? And do they all sell out? If both are true, then it doesn't seem like crowds would be better on a given night, right?
Yes, single nights do indeed sell out. Last year, opening 3 nights were SO…being over Labor Day weekend probably factors into that, along with FOMO with many people.Are HHN all capped at the same capacity? And do they all sell out?
