Hi- I can some dumb questions… We would like to do a Universal day during our October Disney trip but our only real option is a Friday. So my questions are these:
1) will the parks be insanely busy on a Friday in late October/HHN night?
2) is IOA part of HHN or do all non-HHN guest hop over there at night?
3) Does IOA stay open late on HHN nights to absorb the non-HHN crowd?
4) How scary is HHN truthfully because I’m a wimp?
2. All HHN is at UO, no events at IOA.
3. I believe IOA is usually open until about 8pm on HHN nights, I can't speak to crowds.
4. I guess it depends on what scares you? I was worried going into it, but I didn't think it was that bad. Yes there are a LOT of jump scares in the houses. You can usually see where they are going to come from and prepare yourself. Some of the houses last year, like Chucky, were not the least bit scary. The Scare Zones-if you avoid the heaviest fog they aren't too bad. Also, truthfully, the scare actors seem to favor certain types of people to target-In one house we were behind a gaggle of teenage girls who screamed at the tiniest thing-every jump scare targeted them and not us.
At one point we had to visit First Aid to get some Advil and one of the scare actors was sitting there, in full costume, filling out paperwork. Honestly seeing that in full light sort of took the wind out the terror
