(Insert Catchy Title Here) ... Our Oct 08 Trip Report in Pictures ~ UPDATED LAST DAY

Hey everyone ... just thought I'd let you know I'm working on our first night at HHN (Oct 9) and should have that up later tonight ... :thumbsup2
 
Ok Bonny and Lee......

I am in and ready to be scareded:scared1:

LOL

Seriously, can't wait to see/read more :thumbsup2
 

When we last left you, we had stopped by the Universal store to pick up our HHN souvies. We hiked back to the car in the garage to unload our purchases and then headed back to the stay and scream area at Finnegans. Unfortunately we didn’t run into any other DISers, Vaulters or CSWers. Once they let us loose from the holding area, we headed over to Creatures (was more silly than scary), Body Collectors (very creepy) and Doomsday (never saw the movie but the house was OK) – where we ran into Macraven in the line as we were leaving.

By now they had opened the main gates and we decided to head over towards Scary Tales to get ahead of the crowd. As we got near the Simpsons, it unfortunately decided to start raining … Luckily we were able to get out of the rain at the Kwik-E-Mart.

Once the rain stopped, we were on our way again … first stop was Fractured Tales …

As we didn’t get EPs for our first night, we decided to skip the rest of the houses and concentrate on taking more pics of the scarezones. Next was the “pumpkin patch” and the Skoolhouse. Unfortunately the rain decided to start again, and we ducked under the safety of the food/drink cart across from the School until the rain stopped.

… next up – Streets of Blood
 
From what we had read on the HHN website, we were expecting a little more from this scarezone than it actually delivered. As well, we found the scareactors in this area were very hard to get photos of – it seemed they were often running away from whoever was taking the picture. We were able to get a few pics though …

As we had been at the park since 10 am that morning, we both were starting to get a bit tired (and hungry) so we decided to head over to Monster’s Café to rest our fee and grab a bite to eat.

… next up final installment for this day
 
As the rain had been keeping a lot of the scareactors away from the scarezones most of the evening, we decided to head back over to Fractured Tales one last time …

Next up - our RIP tour with our DIS homies - Macraven, Yellowfish, Donaldduck352, AlexandNessa, Phamton and Patster.
 
I can say with even more certainty you will NEVER get me in there!

Great installment though.
 
Thanks so much for the fantastic pix. I'm much too chicken to ever attend HHN but the costumes are so wonderful (from a distance, like on this side of my computer :rotfl: ).

Thanks for sharing!
 
OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to go next year. Brent thought the pics were awesome, too.
Hearing everyone talk about how great HHN is had me ready to try it, but
now I'm SOOOOOOOO EXCITED! And I've still got a year to wait. :eek:

What are you going to do with the boys Macadamia?:scared1:

This nut always hires a babysitter from an agency for date night(s) in Orlando. We've always been really, really happy with the sitters we've had. Especially the last one. I keep her business card in my wallet.
