So, i want to take advantage of the stay and scream for our HHN nights. I am waiting for all ticket options to come out as I am hoping we will be able to go for 4 HHN nights with express (fingers crossed). When/how do I get our tickets for HHN once purchased? We are arriving on Saturday Sept 14th and I am hoping to make the party that night. Plan on going into park fairly early that day so we can get some rides in as well. I already bought park tickets through
Undercover Tourist with they buy 2 get 3 deal for park to park.
So, for 4 HHN nights beginning September 14, you are looking at September 14, 15, 18, 19? Historically, those dates would be covered by the Rush of Fear pass (I think it is usually offered as a subset of the Frequent Fear passes). Be sure to check the covered dates when they are released. The Rush of Fear option is an excellent ticket for people that can be there at the beginning of the event season. You should seriously consider the Rush of Fear with Express Pass option. Last year pretty much all dates were more crowded than usual, and if I remember right, there was even a sold out night very early. If I was going when you are (we are going early-mid October this year), then I would definitely buy the Rush of Fear with Express Pass tickets. No question, as it is has always been a great bargain (bargain is a relative term here of course lol).
We stay on-site and usually pick up the HHN tickets at the hotel ticket kiosk/desk. We have also used the kiosks outside the park entrances. Be sure to take the credit card used to purchase the tickets, because you will have to present them (to a desk attendant) or be scanned at a kiosk. I would also keep the email confirmation handy (on phone or printout) if needed.
Finally, just to make sure you are clear on your plan, I assume you will want to stay in the park and utilize the Stay and Scream option. If so, when the Studios are closing (be sure to be in Studios and not IoA), instead of leaving the park, go to a designated Stay and Scream location (to be announced later, but usually they are Finnegans, Springfield, and Hello Kitty). They will confirm you have HHN tickets for that night, give you a wristband, and you can hang out until they release you to the horror (before the front gates open to the public).
Have fun, and it might well, like many of us, turn into a yearly tradition!
