I have an Idea for a video or a segment on a new video. Walk., Don't Run. I see so many guests running to an attraction where they will just have to wait in a queue: walk slow, look around, put your phone down and take in all the sights, smells and sounds. Turn off facebook and Instagram. I only use my phone to take photos. I rarely look at the time; unless there's a show I really want to see - just walking around; you'll run into a show at some point. Also, I check the forecast just to get an idea; but I always go to Studios no matter how chaotic the weather gets. Diagon Ally in a severe storm is so much fun! Also, a lot of vacationers and rookies will head for the hills or their hotel when it storms and this is a great time to take advantage of short wait times for indoor attractions. :)
In the Beginner's Guide Video can y'all give an idea on a "loose" plan of action for conquering HHN in 1 night: like should I do all ten houses and then see the shows? When is the best time to stop for food and merchandise- during the event or during the regular park hours since I'm a UOAP? Should I do the houses going from front to back or start at the back and then work my way to the front? Thanks in advance! Cant wait for more videos!!
when i did this last year i did stay and scream and did about the first 4 houses in the back in about a hour. then did the first show at fear factor. then did the rest of the houses and finished with about 3 hours left of hhn it’s possible if you stay and scream then throw food and bathroom in there. no express is needed but if you’re going once i’d recommend because you are guaranteeing yourself at least every house.
100 percent get the fast pass, I went for a few years never being able to go to every house because of long lines and then finally about 6 years ago just went all in and spurged and get the fast pass every year that way you have no stress can go to all the shows get food stop and rest and not worry about missing a house
We’ll have a game plan video come out shortly after opening weekend. It’s hard for us to say until we actually experience the event and see what houses have the longest lines. Each year is different!
Weirdly enough, looking at the sets for Deadly Unrest, having rain will actually help age and weather them to a more scary, creepy look. Compared to how those sets looked when they first came out, they're now starting to look like a rundown cemetery and I am living for it! My biggest piece of advice is to travel light. Comfortable shoes & clothes, and nothing bigger than a small bag. I have a small travel bag big enough for me to fit the light-up cups in that holds all my essentials as well. I made the mistake of carrying a full backpack in my first year... Never, ever, ever again will I do that.
We totally agree! On non filming nights we’ll take our phones, keys, and a freestyle cup! The lighter the better! Lol we’re super excited to see how the event evolves throughout the season, too!
bringing a bag with some dry cloths is by far the best tip imo. last year was my family and I’s first hhn on opening weekend and we got absolutely soaked. going this year opening weekend again and defiantly bringing socks and possibly shoes
That's a good tip ! it will be our first time with my boyfriend at Universal and HHN, we booked for the night of October 5th, do you know if it will rain as much as during the Summer? we were hoping to get less showers at that period of the year..we come from Europe.
@@gizou2707 it usually rains every HHN night around 4-6pm, especially at the beginning run of the event in Sept. afternoon showers are pretty common. Best to maybe bring a small umbrella and an extra pair of shoes and socks. But check the weather right before leaving your house!
Can't wait to see you two explore Disney World. And yes, it rains in central Florida every afternoon in August. This is the height of our Hurricane season.
I was in disbelief to see you guys recording when I was there with family, I was gonna come up and say “hi!” but was so nervous, but I was tapping at my bf excitedly telling him about you guys! great video! 🤍
Lot of good points. Don't prejudge the houses before you do them. I had opinions before of what a house would or wouldn't be that turned out to be a favorite house. I'm excited to get there. Huge savings to purchase ahead. The areas are really coming along nicely. Counting down the days.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it. We couldn't agree more about the houses, you just never know! We hope you have a great time at this year's event!
I’m excited for my wife and I’s first HHN. She is a paraplegic and she had a terrible house experience last year. A poor scare actor had to move a set piece because she couldn’t get through.
Have sincerely enjoyed all of yalls videos thus far. Entertaining, informative and genuine. I live in Oklahoma and looking to get an annual pass for the year to make it down three or four times. Don't be surprised if a tatted white dude rushes up enthusiastically to thank yall formally if we cross paths lol
Thank you, Devin! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful, and we hope you have an amazing time on your upcoming trips. If you see us in the parks, definitely come say hi!
i’m going opening weekend (possibly opening night) and i’m so excited!! rush of fear means we’ll get to take TWO separate hhn trips which we’ve never done before and I’m going to lose my mind. the scare zones this year seem to be the best in years! and the merch as well, it might have me declaring bankruptcy 😭 i’m so hyped!
Oh my gosh, SAME! The merch is gorgeous this year!! Tyler’s said the exact same thing about the scarezones this year, too. We hope you have a fantastic time at the event!!
I would definitely bring a change of clothes and shoes in case it rains! It poured when I went to HHN last year and my shoes got soaked, and I didn't have another pair with me. If you don't wanna be uncomfortable walking around the park, make sure you have something just in case.
I agree, I have never seen so many food booths for HHN - they had plenty of drank booths but not food. lol Everyone I’ve asked says those food booths will be closed & it’s only for the event - I hope that’s not true. lol
Food booths are only for the event. They open around 4-5pm and can usually get something if it’s apart of the stay and scream zone. They’re not open during the day tho
I feel like last year some of the HHN booths (like twisted taters & pizza fries) were open during the day as well. I could be wrong, but I have that memory for some reason! lol
Really looking forward to this. We have done Howl-o-scream at Busch Gardens and Halloween events at Disney World and Disneyland. But we have never been to HHN. But we are going this year. Thanks for the tips!
Great work and info as always. Last year we went to all the houses but were so tired we missed most everything else. This year we are focusing on the rest
You had some great tips per usual. I also highly recommend avoiding going to HHN the first night of your trip if you're coming from out of state! In late September 2021, we traveled from Michigan, so I had been up since around 4-5 AM to fly in with my family, went to HHN, and was naturally tired af by the time 11 PM hit🤣. My son and I were able to complete all 10 houses, every scare zone, and the Nightmare Fuel show. This probably because we did stay & scream in the Simpsons area (via our season passes) and used express passes, but I didn't even use the express pass on the first 2 houses because the lines were fairly short. I was too tired to go back at the end of the night to use the express on those 2 like I originally planned. Thankfully, we stay on site at Lowes Royal Pacific, so we got a nice boat ride back to our room at the end of our night. & I also came prepared with a poncho and umbrella because it definitely rained.
People underestimate how tired they’re gonna be! Lol we would absolutely advice against pulling a long day like that. We’ve done it, and it’s miserable by the end! Plus, you’re worn out for the rest of your trip. We’re glad you had a good time, though!!
first time going to Uuniversal ever with my 12yo! I have been watching your videos since spring of this year anticipating our first trip. We didn’t know anything about HHN so we bought one ticket so I’m going to be looking forward to all the tips soon!! You guys are so awesome!
Last year I made the mistake of being cheap and not buying the express pass😭 definitely won’t be doing that this year. I ended up leaving early because the lines were just way too long and it started getting cold.
Last year I made the mistake of wearing wet shoes all through HHN! 😭 I told myself, "They're not that wet. They feel like they've dried out now." It took me MONTHS to get my feet back to.. almost normal. lol
Oh my gosh we did the same thing!! Someone said we probably got trench foot?? It was awful! It’s in the top 10 worst experiences of my life lol. Not HHN, but the foot issues afterwards 😂
Fill your shoes with paper towels and change the paper towels every 30 minutes. Just grab paper towels from the bathroom. Or find two plastic bags from a store and put your feet inside with a paper towel inside. Then put the foot in the shoe
I'm gonna be in Orlando for the last week of the event and we got frequent fear and can do 5 nights, so it was only $80 for frequent fear then it would have been if we only done 1 night with express. Can't wait, covid has cost us 2 years of no hhn
That's awesome!! The multi-night tickets really are an excellent deal that so many people overlook. Just like the annual passes! We hope you have a fantastic time at the event and make up for the last two years!!
@@ThePughTwo we also have annual pass, upgraded our 2 week tickets when over in Jan 2020, but got them frozen when unable to fly back to the states. Miss out on the free night also unfortunately, but, yeah the multi night ticket def makes more sence then the express for 1 night so can spread all houses over the 5 nights we do attend 😂👍
We are gonna try to do everything in two nights, with one night scream early access, but definitely gonna try to prioritize and make most of our time when event opens Hoping it doesn’t rain, we are gonna go several weeks into September, but gonna check weather day of and bring extra clothes and rain jacket maybe umbrella idk yet, if there’s chance in forecast just trying to familiarize myself with stay and scream locations and house locations, definitely gonna have to check out that last video and the new one you guys makes on it
Will be attending HHN the first week in October and it’ll be my first one! Would love to know what special foods and drinks to look out for when I get there.
You guys get me more and more excited every time y’all drop a HHN video. Question on the rain though. How long does it usually rain? Is it like a one time passing rain cloud or does it tend to stick around for the day?
I have NO plan to be in Studios after dark until November. Not a fan of that scary stuff. BUT I'm still watching this video, mostly for the fun, but now I find I'm totally engrossed with the reflection on Anna's sunglasses! 😎😲 Dude, at 5:09 I heard you say *purple people.* There's a classic Halloween song called "Purple People Eater." I know it well. I heard it and "Monster Mash" & "Thriller" many times while in labor last century. *Ginger Princess* was born that afternoon with Michael Jackson & Vincent Price singing her in.
Me and my friends are coming in September and I wanted to thank y'all for telling us about the Rush pass because we are totally buying that so we can go 4 nights out of the 5 days we are coming there.
We always have our hype list like most, but we give them all a chance. and of course, HHN has thrown me curve balls before and my least anticipated ends up one of my tops. looking forward to following your HHN adventures! ~Dawn
Thanks for the tips. Love seeing more videos of you in the parks. I definitely need to spend more time in scarezones. Excited for all the food too. I'll be there first week October 4 nights.
Thanks for the tips! I am only going to be there for one night this year, so lets hope I get at least all the houses in and some yummy food of course! (Thankfully I have express)
Thanks for all the amazing tips!!! Silly, but important question…while in the stay and scream areas, is there still access to restrooms? It’s a long time to wait and then having someone jump out and scare you after waiting could be a problem☺️.
There’s restrooms in all stay and scream zones. New York has the Louie’s restroom and Spring Field has the comic book restroom across from the taco truck. You may need a ticket 🎟 to get to the restroom and back so they know you already checked in to the stay and scream zone. Just ask a team member!
We suggest going before you get in stay and scream. There are bathrooms you can access, but it’s difficult! Plus, if you’re by yourself, you’ll lose your place in line!
The editing is getting better and better! Great job, guys! And you are the real deal, UOR-wise. Can you use the freestyle cup during HHN? Are they good for the entire night, like, till 2am?
Hey guys, only me again! I'm on my 28 day countdown now. Picking up plane tickets and universal tickets today. Hope you are both settling in well to your temp home 😁 it's all exciting! See you soon!
Question. Do you think the R.I.P Tour is worth it? My husband surprised me with a 6 night's stay at Universal for my 30th Birthday and we are going to HHN for at least one night while we are there; I am such a huge horror fan. However, it's a hefty add-on. Thanks for taking the time to answer and continuously providing great content!
So we just did one for opening night, and it was amazing! But, the price tag is hefty. That’s really just a personal decision. You don’t have to wait really at all, but it’s a long night!
What time do the live shows start? Are there multiple showings on the same night? In the beginners guide can you go over a game plan for opening night, such as the best route to go in order to see all the houses without running to one side of the park and back around(kinda like a loop game plan)and food/drink breaks? Do you know when they’ll release the food menus? I’ve never been before and I’m going opening night/weekend, so I definitely want a game plan! Your videos have helped so much!
They’ll have times for the live shows on the app and posted around the park. You should be able to see that the day of the event if not earlier! It’s hard to say what the best route would be without experiencing the event, too. You can assume the IP’s will probably have the highest wait time (ie the weekend), so if you don’t have express, that would be a good one to queue up for in Stay and Scream. The food menus are all over twitter now, too! We hope you have a great time opening weekend!
Awesome tips!!! We have everything booked including sweet RIP passes. Hope we get to see you guys again. Congrats on the big move and keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you so much, that’s such a compliment to us! We absolutely realize that HHN isn’t for everyone, but we really appreciate you watching and supporting our channel!
Please tell The Phantom of The Opera that he plays the Organ and/or his Violin very well!!! Provided that he’s in The Universal Classic Monsters Haunted House, that is. Thank you!
Love all of the night time videography! Will yall ever stay at the hotels every once and awhile now that you’re no longer living in Tennessee? I’ve always been curious if people who live locally to the parks drive or pay to stay at one of the universal resorts
Hello I have two questions. First question is can you use your free HHN ticket on sold-out nights? We will be there this evening weekend. And are the wait times at Islands of adventure usually low during HHN?
There are specific dates that you can use your free ticket with your annual pass. You can find those dates on Universal’s website!! And we’re not sure, we don’t have much experience with Islands during the event!
Hello there a Pugh Two, how are you? Question. During the hhn event, for non-hhn peeps, are we able to use the Hogwarts Express between the Wizarding worlds?
We got the Rush of Fear pass and will do HHN two nights Sept 15 & 16th with Express on the 16th where we plan to do all houses. The 15th we don’t care about getting in early we are going to eat and check out shows, scare zones etc and maybe do MIB like 20 times lol. Also….We have changed our challenge. Instead of doing all rides at islands after 4pm. We will do all rides in both parks in one day the 14th. Even some attractions if possible. Would that be easier than the after 4pm challenge? Staying at Hard Rock so we will have express!
That sounds like so much fun!! I think the all day challenge is possible with express. Just make sure you enjoy yourselves, though, and don’t make yourself miserable!! Lol
Great video you guys! I was wondering if you guys could touch more on how to best execute the express pass this year. I know you said not to burn them. Should we hit our most anticipated first w/out express? (Will the sun affect that depending tent or sound stage?) or should we hit least anticipated without express first? Sorry if this question is confusing 😅
Use stay and scream to go through your most anticipated houses twice! Don’t use express right off the bat, get through as many houses as possible before the crowds hit (anything 30 min or less, we’ll wait in standby). Then, once the lines build up, start using express!
Just bought tickets for me, my wife and our 4 kids for 2 nights. I'll have to push retirement out another year or so. Wish I had the funds for the Express Passes. Are they worth the price?
Hi, enjoy your channel! We are going for just one night, on a Sunday. Is purchasing the ticket that gets you into the park 2 hours prior to HHN opening worth it?
If you’re looking to get as much done as possible in one night, yes! Come in to the park and enter a stay and scream zone. There’s two, one in New York area and one in Springfield. Each one gets you early access to different houses, usually two or three each. So decide which house you would like to try first before you get into a stay and scream zone. Which ever one you want to do first, go to that stay and scream zone and hop into line around 3:30-4:00. You’ll be waiting in line for a while but you will get early access to that house before the rest of the HHN guests have even entered the park. There’s also food and beverages in each stay and scream zone so you can grab something to eat while waiting in line
I found that, some more expensive, the ponchos purchased at Universal and The Wizarding World are reusable. The ponchos I've purchased at discount stores are wear, tear & toss it
This is my first hhn and I already bought my tickets the admission and the fast pass. And recently I bought the early admission pass, I'm a little confused how the early admission works. Can someone help me out. I can go into the park early even if I don't have park admission for that day? Thanks
How exciting! And yes, the scream early ticket will get you into the park between 3 and 5. The parks close at 5 to daytime guests, so you’ll need to be in one of the stay and scream areas a little before 5. To get in, they’ll scan your HHN ticket. Hope this helps!
I’m going to HHN in Orlando from San Francisco, for the sole purpose of getting out of California….just to find out that there’s a SF theme in the park 😭🫠
Yes, at the entrance of the park next to the stroller rental. It’s like right next to the turnstiles where you exit the park. Not sure how much, but I believe there’s big and small lockers and the bigger ones cost more. They also have some lockers in the Hollywood street. It’s a weird place, hard to describe, but basically where the Hello Kitty Store is, across the street is a bathroom. Back behind/past the bathrooms is what looks like a hallways. There’s some lockers there too that you can use. It’s also like to the right of Bourne Stuntacular if youre facing that show
@@ThePughTwo I’m going on the Saturday of October 1st. Overall my question is do you think that the fast pass for Halloween horror nights is worth it in general? Thank you for your response I really appreciate it. 😁
This is my first HHN! I never hear anyone talk about the rides at night. (Especially with Mummy still closed / hopefully reopening for HHN) What are the queues like for rides? Are ppl more focused on houses. Is Diagon Alley open? (I think it would be great to be in there late!) Thanks!
Mummy should be open for HHN. They already have been test running it and had a preview for Team Members so it should be ready to go but don’t take my word for sure lol
People are absolutely more focused on the houses than the rides. The big ones like rip ride (usually Mummy but who knows this year), Gringotts, MIB, and I think transformers are open. The entire park stays open, too, so yes DA is fair game!
Please clarify something for me. A little over 5 minutes into your video, you mentioned not to use your Express Pass early and to save it for later in the night. Why is that? Isn't the Express Pass Unlimited? Or are you referring to a Limited Express Pass option. I was under the impression that Express Passes were Unlimited throughout the night. Thanks.
I got a rush of fear pass and I have no idea what I’m doing lol. I have a hotel for Sept 21-24 so I want to do three nights. Am I guaranteed to get in on those nights? Or is there a possibility park capacity will cap? I figured 3 nights was a perfect sweet spot so I can do half on night 1, half on 2, and then repeats on night 3.
If you have a rush of fear pass already you should have no issue getting in. If it sells out they’ll stop selling tickets including rush of fear for that weekend. But honestly I don’t see it selling out for Sept 21-24. Sept is the slower part for HHN, minus opening weekend
You don’t have to worry about capacity! You’ll be fine! The ROF pass is all you need. We hope you have a great time in your trip! Your plan sounds like a good one, too!
I have an Idea for a video or a segment on a new video. Walk., Don't Run. I see so many guests running to an attraction where they will just have to wait in a queue: walk slow, look around, put your phone down and take in all the sights, smells and sounds.

Can't wait to see you two explore Disney World. And yes, it rains in central Florida every afternoon in August. This is the height of our Hurricane season.
The weather is crazy for us! Every day is the same. It's insanely hot with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon lol.
@@ThePughTwo The joke has always been that you can set your clocks by the afternoon thunderstorms during the summer. LOL
My daughter and I are so excited for rush of fear passes and an RIP tour Saturday the third!
That’s so exciting! We hope you have an amazing time at HHN!
Will be there in two weeks for a week. One night at HHN. Last year we ate at Monster Cafe. Loved it! Now have to find another place.
That’s so exciting! There are plenty of other great restaurants, but we’ll miss Monsters Cafe, too!
I was in disbelief to see you guys recording when I was there with family, I was gonna come up and say “hi!” but was so nervous, but I was tapping at my bf excitedly telling him about you guys! great video! 🤍
Awh, you should have said hello!! We hope you had an amazing time on your trip!
Lot of good points. Don't prejudge the houses before you do them. I had opinions before of what a house would or wouldn't be that turned out to be a favorite house. I'm excited to get there. Huge savings to purchase ahead. The areas are really coming along nicely. Counting down the days.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it. We couldn't agree more about the houses, you just never know! We hope you have a great time at this year's event!
I’m excited for my wife and I’s first HHN. She is a paraplegic and she had a terrible house experience last year. A poor scare actor had to move a set piece because she couldn’t get through.
Oh no, that’s terrible! At least they were able to get it sorted. Hopefully they learned from that and will keep it from happening again!!
Have sincerely enjoyed all of yalls videos thus far. Entertaining, informative and genuine. I live in Oklahoma and looking to get an annual pass for the year to make it down three or four times.

Oh my gosh, SAME! The merch is gorgeous this year!! Tyler’s said the exact same thing about the scarezones this year, too. We hope you have a fantastic time at the event!!
Just found your channel and BINGED everything UOA and HHN! You two have fantastic and captivating personalities! Looking forward to more from you!
Thank you so much, Kat! You’re so sweet! We really appreciate your kind words, and thanks for watching!
I judged Seeds of Extinction based on the description and it was really incredible
one of my favorites!
It’s so easy to do!
I would definitely bring a change of clothes and shoes in case it rains! It poured when I went to HHN last year and my shoes got soaked, and I didn't have another pair with me. If you don't wanna be uncomfortable walking around the park, make sure you have something just in case.
Yes!! It took my feet MONTHS to recover lol
Another tip with socks is to wear wool socks. They dry easily and do not hold water like cotton blend socks do
Oh that’s good to know! Are they miserably hot, though?? Lol
I am READY For HHN! Hope to see you there! I will say 👋 hi!!!😉
We can’t wait either!! We hope to see you at the event!
hahahahaha I love the beginning when you mentioned hotels you put up a pic of Aventura!
Lol we’re glad you enjoyed it!!
Ehhhh..i bought same shirt Anna. Very cool in the dark. Tylers golf hat is sweet too. Keeping it fair
Haha I love it! And thank you!!

This video was beautiful. I enjoy watching them so much!!!
Excellent job guys!!!!!
Thank you so much Amy! That’s so sweet! We really appreciate all your support. Thank you for watching!
The music and visuals of this video are top notch. Also, you had some great info on stay and scream. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Amanda! We really appreciate it. Thank you for watching, too!
Great work and info as always. Last year we went to all the houses but were so tired we missed most everything else. This year we are focusing on the rest
We get the tired thing! It’s an exhausting event! Lol we hope you have a great time this year!!

People underestimate how tired they’re gonna be! Lol we would absolutely advice against pulling a long day like that. We’ve done it, and it’s miserable by the end! Plus, you’re worn out for the rest of your trip. We’re glad you had a good time, though!!
first time going to Uuniversal ever with my 12yo! I have been watching your videos since spring of this year anticipating our first trip.
We didn’t know anything about HHN so we bought one ticket so I’m going to be looking forward to all the tips soon!! You guys are so awesome!
That’s so exciting! We hope you both have an amazing time on your trip! If you have any questions beforehand, we’d be happy to help!
Last year I made the mistake of being cheap and not buying the express pass😭 definitely won’t be doing that this year. I ended up leaving early because the lines were just way too long and it started getting cold.
HHN is a different animal! Lol all those people are there just for those 10 houses. The lines get wild!
Last year I made the mistake of wearing wet shoes all through HHN! 😭 I told myself, "They're not that wet. They feel like they've dried out now."
It took me MONTHS to get my feet back to.. almost normal. lol
Oh my gosh we did the same thing!! Someone said we probably got trench foot?? It was awful! It’s in the top 10 worst experiences of my life lol. Not HHN, but the foot issues afterwards 😂
Fill your shoes with paper towels and change the paper towels every 30 minutes. Just grab paper towels from the bathroom. Or find two plastic bags from a store and put your feet inside with a paper towel inside. Then put the foot in the shoe
Ty! Very informational, you guys are so cute.
Thank you so much, Jodie! We're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I'm gonna be in Orlando for the last week of the event and we got frequent fear and can do 5 nights, so it was only $80 for frequent fear then it would have been if we only done 1 night with express. Can't wait, covid has cost us 2 years of no hhn
That's awesome!! The multi-night tickets really are an excellent deal that so many people overlook. Just like the annual passes! We hope you have a fantastic time at the event and make up for the last two years!!
@@ThePughTwo we also have annual pass, upgraded our 2 week tickets when over in Jan 2020, but got them frozen when unable to fly back to the states. Miss out on the free night also unfortunately, but, yeah the multi night ticket def makes more sence then the express for 1 night so can spread all houses over the 5 nights we do attend 😂👍
Begginer tip. Water is free in plastic cups at food booths.
Oh yes, absolutely! It's crazy how hot it is here even at night!!
We are gonna try to do everything in two nights, with one night scream early access, but definitely gonna try to prioritize and make most of our time when event opens
Hoping it doesn’t rain, we are gonna go several weeks into September, but gonna check weather day of and bring extra clothes and rain jacket maybe umbrella idk yet, if there’s chance in forecast
just trying to familiarize myself with stay and scream locations and house locations, definitely gonna have to check out that last video and the new one you guys makes on it
We have a few videos that’ll be coming out next week, too, that should be helpful! We hope you guys have an awesome time on your trip!!
Will be attending HHN the first week in October and it’ll be my first one! Would love to know what special foods and drinks to look out for when I get there.
Oh that’s so exciting! We just put out a food preview, too! We hope you have the best time on your trip!!
I’m not going to HHN but I am totally invested in every HHN video you guys put out 😂
That's so sweet, thank you, Hannah! We really appreciate your support!
Thank you so much for this video, very helpful!! We will be there in 29 days!! Hope to see you guys there! Can’t wait!!
We're so glad you enjoyed it!! We'll definitely be around at HHN, so keep an eye out for us!
Great advice, many thanks, we cannot wait to see Anna's face and get a review after the Bug House
😂🤣 don’t worry, it’s coming!! Lol
You guys get me more and more excited every time y’all drop a HHN video. Question on the rain though. How long does it usually rain? Is it like a one time passing rain cloud or does it tend to stick around for the day?
It just depends. Opening weekend last year was a monsoon!
I have NO plan to be in Studios after dark until November. Not a fan of that scary stuff.
BUT I'm still watching this video, mostly for the fun, but now I find I'm totally engrossed with the reflection on Anna's sunglasses! 😎😲
Dude, at 5:09 I heard you say *purple people.* There's a classic Halloween song called "Purple People Eater." I know it well. I heard it and "Monster Mash" & "Thriller" many times while in labor last century. *Ginger Princess* was born that afternoon with Michael Jackson & Vincent Price singing her in.
😂🤣 one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater! We’re very familiar, too!! That’s too funny, we appreciate the laugh! Lol
You guys are my absolute favorite! You’ve offered so many great tips that have saved my trips so that I have the best time possible! ♥️
You’re so sweet! We’re so glad our tips have been helpful, too. Thank you for watching! We really appreciate it!
Im going for the first time end of september. Im so excited thanks for the tips!
We're happy we could help! We hope you have a great time!!
I loved how this turned out!! Great information as always. Next time I'll walk around randomly in the background. 🤣🤣🖤🧡🖤🧡
😂🤣 you should have! That would’ve been too funny. And thank you! We can’t wait to hang out in the fog!! ❤️
Me and my friends are coming in September and I wanted to thank y'all for telling us about the Rush pass because we are totally buying that so we can go 4 nights out of the 5 days we are coming there.
That’s awesome!! We’re so happy we could help, and we hope you have a great time!
We always have our hype list like most, but we give them all a chance. and of course, HHN has thrown me curve balls before and my least anticipated ends up one of my tops. looking forward to following your HHN adventures! ~Dawn
It’s crazy how that happens! Lol we have some videos planned that we’re super excited about!!
Love you guys, hope to meet y’all in the park one day!!
Thank you so much! You’re so sweet! If you ever see us, make sure you come say hi!
Thanks for the tips. Love seeing more videos of you in the parks. I definitely need to spend more time in scarezones. Excited for all the food too. I'll be there first week October 4 nights.
We’re glad they were helpful!! We hope you have a great time on your trip, too!
Lil Boo is gonna be the medallion this year 🤞🧡🖤
Lol it went up today and no lil boo! It wouldn’t have shocked us though!
Thanks for the tips! I am only going to be there for one night this year, so lets hope I get at least all the houses in and some yummy food of course! (Thankfully I have express)
Express makes it a ton easier! Make sure you take advantage of stay and scream, too!
Hope to see you there, we’re coming from the Uk on the 10th.
We’ll be around, so keep an eye out for us!
Thanks for all the amazing tips!!! Silly, but important question…while in the stay and scream areas, is there still access to restrooms? It’s a long time to wait and then having someone jump out and scare you after waiting could be a problem☺️.
You’re good. Everything in the scare zone is open
There’s restrooms in all stay and scream zones. New York has the Louie’s restroom and Spring Field has the comic book restroom across from the taco truck. You may need a ticket 🎟 to get to the restroom and back so they know you already checked in to the stay and scream zone. Just ask a team member!
We suggest going before you get in stay and scream. There are bathrooms you can access, but it’s difficult! Plus, if you’re by yourself, you’ll lose your place in line!
I have been looking forward to seeing your next Disney Park videos.
Coming soon! Stay tuned!
Awesome video thanks for the tips. 6 weeks till I'm there again! 🙌
That’s awesome! We’re so excited for HHN!
Proper excited for our first HHN in September 😁👌
That’s so exciting!! We hope you have an amazing time!
The editing is getting better and better! Great job, guys! And you are the real deal, UOR-wise.
Can you use the freestyle cup during HHN? Are they good for the entire night, like, till 2am?
Thank you so so much! Yes! You can absolutely use the freestyle cup all night!
Thank you Pugh two for the advice! Btw this is my first HHN!
Oh my gosh that’s so exciting! Thank you for watching, too!
Again thanks for all the amazing tips greatly appreciated
Absolutely Dougie! Thanks for watching!!
Hey guys, only me again! I'm on my 28 day countdown now. Picking up plane tickets and universal tickets today. Hope you are both settling in well to your temp home 😁 it's all exciting! See you soon!
Oh my gosh that’s so exciting! We just got moved into permanent housing, too! Lots to unpack, but we’re super excited!
Question. Do you think the R.I.P Tour is worth it? My husband surprised me with a 6 night's stay at Universal for my 30th Birthday and we are going to HHN for at least one night while we are there; I am such a huge horror fan. However, it's a hefty add-on. Thanks for taking the time to answer and continuously providing great content!
So we just did one for opening night, and it was amazing! But, the price tag is hefty. That’s really just a personal decision. You don’t have to wait really at all, but it’s a long night!
What time do the live shows start? Are there multiple showings on the same night?
In the beginners guide can you go over a game plan for opening night, such as the best route to go in order to see all the houses without running to one side of the park and back around(kinda like a loop game plan)and food/drink breaks? Do you know when they’ll release the food menus? I’ve never been before and I’m going opening night/weekend, so I definitely want a game plan! Your videos have helped so much!
Great questions, I want to know as well
They’ll have times for the live shows on the app and posted around the park. You should be able to see that the day of the event if not earlier! It’s hard to say what the best route would be without experiencing the event, too. You can assume the IP’s will probably have the highest wait time (ie the weekend), so if you don’t have express, that would be a good one to queue up for in Stay and Scream. The food menus are all over twitter now, too! We hope you have a great time opening weekend!
Awesome tips!!! We have everything booked including sweet RIP passes. Hope we get to see you guys again. Congrats on the big move and keep up the fantastic work!
That's so exciting! And thank you! We'll definitely be around for HHN, so keep an eye out for us!
So so excited !! Bring on the food offerings
We love the seasonal food!!
While I'll probably never do HHN, this was still entertaining which I apprechiate
Thank you so much, that’s such a compliment to us! We absolutely realize that HHN isn’t for everyone, but we really appreciate you watching and supporting our channel!
I’m going in costume as Tyler with the Titleist hat and the red backpack
I bet you won’t..👀
@@ThePughTwo Halloween night. Y’all are on. Who won’t buy a titleist golf hat for a single night? Because I will.
Lots of great info! Excellent video!
Thank you, Jenifer! We appreciate you watching!
there was a stage show last year, right in front of the mummy
Was there?? My memory fails me! Lol
Please tell The Phantom of The Opera that he plays the Organ and/or his Violin very well!!! Provided that he’s in The Universal Classic Monsters Haunted House, that is. Thank you!
Lol we'll be sure to let him know!
Thank you, Pugh Two!
😱 I want to go to there. 🤣 One day…!
We hope you get to!!
Love all of the night time videography!
Will yall ever stay at the hotels every once and awhile now that you’re no longer living in Tennessee? I’ve always been curious if people who live locally to the parks drive or pay to stay at one of the universal resorts
We might occasionally take a staycation, but with the dogs it’s just easier to drive and come home!
I just discovered your channel and I am loving it! Subscribed!!!
Thank you so much, you’re so sweet! We really appreciate your support!
This is very good prep info 👍
Thank you!!
So I leave for three weeks and the whole place turns totally different? I’ll have to come back. Hope to see you there!
😂🤣 it doesn’t that this time of year!
One night and the last friday of hhn. I got rip tour thing to make sure i do everything
That’s awesome! We hope you have a great time on your trip!!
@@ThePughTwo hoping to run into ur guys there
this is good stuff!! thanks guys
Thank you, Wade!
I laughed out loud at “she won’t”…. I wouldn’t either Anna lol ❤️ I do not f with a centipede whatsoever
😂🤣 I'm sure Tyler will get a good laugh watching me walk through that house!
the cinematic shots ❤️🔥
Thank you so much!! Tyler is always trying to improve his editing, and comments like this make it all worth it!
Hello I have two questions. First question is can you use your free HHN ticket on sold-out nights? We will be there this evening weekend. And are the wait times at Islands of adventure usually low during HHN?
There are specific dates that you can use your free ticket with your annual pass. You can find those dates on Universal’s website!! And we’re not sure, we don’t have much experience with Islands during the event!
Hello there a Pugh Two, how are you? Question. During the hhn event, for non-hhn peeps, are we able to use the Hogwarts Express between the Wizarding worlds?
Hi Kim, we're doing great! Thanks for asking. And no, once Studios closes for HHN, you will not be able to board the Hogwarts Express, unfortunately!
We got the Rush of Fear pass and will do HHN two nights Sept 15 & 16th with Express on the 16th where we plan to do all houses. The 15th we don’t care about getting in early we are going to eat and check out shows, scare zones etc and maybe do MIB like 20 times lol.
Also….We have changed our challenge. Instead of doing all rides at islands after 4pm. We will do all rides in both parks in one day the 14th. Even some attractions if possible. Would that be easier than the after 4pm challenge? Staying at Hard Rock so we will have express!
That sounds like so much fun!! I think the all day challenge is possible with express. Just make sure you enjoy yourselves, though, and don’t make yourself miserable!! Lol
@@ThePughTwo yeah I know we did discuss that especially with doing two nights of HHN. Hope we run into you guys!
Great video you guys! I was wondering if you guys could touch more on how to best execute the express pass this year. I know you said not to burn them. Should we hit our most anticipated first w/out express? (Will the sun affect that depending tent or sound stage?) or should we hit least anticipated without express first?
Sorry if this question is confusing 😅
@Jason B.ig_ Ern thank you Jason 😊
Use stay and scream to go through your most anticipated houses twice! Don’t use express right off the bat, get through as many houses as possible before the crowds hit (anything 30 min or less, we’ll wait in standby). Then, once the lines build up, start using express!
@@ThePughTwo thank you! you two are the best!
Just bought tickets for me, my wife and our 4 kids for 2 nights. I'll have to push retirement out another year or so. Wish I had the funds for the Express Passes. Are they worth the price?
Express is great, but it’s really not necessary! We hope you and your family have a great time at the parks!
me and my sister loves your videos. both me and my sis are red heads and it just so happens that my sis name is Anna.
Awh, that’s awesome! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos, and we really appreciate your support!
Boom goes the dynamite!
Lol your comment always makes me smile!
Hi, enjoy your channel! We are going for just one night, on a Sunday. Is purchasing the ticket that gets you into the park 2 hours prior to HHN opening worth it?
If you’re looking to get as much done as possible in one night, yes! Come in to the park and enter a stay and scream zone. There’s two, one in New York area and one in Springfield. Each one gets you early access to different houses, usually two or three each. So decide which house you would like to try first before you get into a stay and scream zone. Which ever one you want to do first, go to that stay and scream zone and hop into line around 3:30-4:00. You’ll be waiting in line for a while but you will get early access to that house before the rest of the HHN guests have even entered the park. There’s also food and beverages in each stay and scream zone so you can grab something to eat while waiting in line
Sarah nailed it! If you’re only going one night, it’s worth it’s weight in gold! Lol it’s essentially early park admission for HHN.
Y’all finally! Lol
Haha we hope you enjoyed it!
I found that, some more expensive, the ponchos purchased at Universal and The Wizarding World are reusable. The ponchos I've purchased at discount stores are wear, tear & toss it
Oh yes! They do a better job of keeping you dry without just turning into a sauna, too.
This is my first hhn and I already bought my tickets the admission and the fast pass. And recently I bought the early admission pass, I'm a little confused how the early admission works. Can someone help me out. I can go into the park early even if I don't have park admission for that day? Thanks
How exciting! And yes, the scream early ticket will get you into the park between 3 and 5. The parks close at 5 to daytime guests, so you’ll need to be in one of the stay and scream areas a little before 5. To get in, they’ll scan your HHN ticket. Hope this helps!
HHN Videos are my fav!!!
Yay!! Lol we hope you enjoyed it!
How did I miss this vid???
You found it now!
I’m going to HHN in Orlando from San Francisco, for the sole purpose of getting out of California….just to find out that there’s a SF theme in the park 😭🫠
😂🤣 don’t worry, it’s just one small portion!!
Are lockers available for shoe storage and what’s the cost and the locker storage time?
Yes, at the entrance of the park next to the stroller rental. It’s like right next to the turnstiles where you exit the park. Not sure how much, but I believe there’s big and small lockers and the bigger ones cost more. They also have some lockers in the Hollywood street. It’s a weird place, hard to describe, but basically where the Hello Kitty Store is, across the street is a bathroom. Back behind/past the bathrooms is what looks like a hallways. There’s some lockers there too that you can use. It’s also like to the right of Bourne Stuntacular if youre facing that show
Yes! We have a video on lockers that might be helpful! You can rent them for the day and they should be good during HHN, too.
Hi!! Do you guys recommend gettinga fast pass for a Saturday night?
It sold out, so it’s probably gonna be pretty busy!
@@ThePughTwo I’m going on the Saturday of October 1st. Overall my question is do you think that the fast pass for Halloween horror nights is worth it in general? Thank you for your response I really appreciate it. 😁
I need tips I want to go one day but literally everything scares ne
We did a video for “scaredy-cats” a few weeks ago! You should check it out!
Tyler who are you kidding? Change of socks. Change of shoes. You will have a change of underwear also! Admit it.
😂🤣 that’s not a bad idea, honestly!
This has nothing to do with HHN, but I'm curious Tyler, how do you stop your hair from growing back?
He uses a pit bull skull shaver! You can get them on Amazon and they’re great.
What happens in event of hurricane or severe storm?
Not sure about hurricanes, but we’ve experienced several storms at universal. They shut down the outdoor rides and everyone just hangs out indoors!
I'm hyped!!!
We are, too!!
This is my first HHN! I never hear anyone talk about the rides at night. (Especially with Mummy still closed / hopefully reopening for HHN) What are the queues like for rides? Are ppl more focused on houses. Is Diagon Alley open? (I think it would be great to be in there late!) Thanks!
The ride queues aren't bad, as people are concentrating on the houses and other aspects of HHN. Diagon Alley remains opens, along with Gringotts.
Diagon is usually pretty quiet during HHN- super different vibe from during the day and kind of creepy in its own way.
Mummy should be open for HHN. They already have been test running it and had a preview for Team Members so it should be ready to go but don’t take my word for sure lol
People are absolutely more focused on the houses than the rides. The big ones like rip ride (usually Mummy but who knows this year), Gringotts, MIB, and I think transformers are open. The entire park stays open, too, so yes DA is fair game!
Please clarify something for me. A little over 5 minutes into your video, you mentioned not to use your Express Pass early and to save it for later in the night. Why is that? Isn't the Express Pass Unlimited? Or are you referring to a Limited Express Pass option. I was under the impression that Express Passes were Unlimited throughout the night. Thanks.
@Jason B.ig_ Ern When did that change? When we went 3 years ago, the express pass was unlimited use.
Universal Hollywood has an unlimited express for HHN, but USF has never offered an unlimited for the event. They do during the day, but not for HHN!
I got a rush of fear pass and I have no idea what I’m doing lol. I have a hotel for Sept 21-24 so I want to do three nights. Am I guaranteed to get in on those nights? Or is there a possibility park capacity will cap? I figured 3 nights was a perfect sweet spot so I can do half on night 1, half on 2, and then repeats on night 3.
If you have a rush of fear pass already you should have no issue getting in. If it sells out they’ll stop selling tickets including rush of fear for that weekend. But honestly I don’t see it selling out for Sept 21-24. Sept is the slower part for HHN, minus opening weekend
You don’t have to worry about capacity! You’ll be fine! The ROF pass is all you need. We hope you have a great time in your trip! Your plan sounds like a good one, too!
I'm wondering how to find out what times the shows are to plan for them?
They’ll be on the mobile app and posted around the park!
I have commented 104 times on this channel! 🤯🤯🤯
Wow! We really appreciate your continued support! It really does help our channel out, so thank you!
@@ThePughTwo Yeah! I really appreciate that you guys make videos for us weekly!!
