I’ve got one of those daughters too. At 15, she made it through 5 houses with Express. Now at 17 her big sister is coming and I think we will get through more, still doing express. If this year goes well, we will do a RIP tour next year. I did the express on my phone this time too, so we will see how it works. Last time I bought it day of and it was a paper ticket.I decided to get us express passes since we only have one night there. I got the mobile tickets version of them. Do we just show that on our phone at each house to get into the express line? Is it good for shows too? It is our first horror nights so it is all new to us. We didn’t want to do RIP because my daughter (17) might be too scared to try a few or a lot of the houses lol.

We just received an email from Delta that our flight times have changed. Keep a close eye on those emails!
I imagine times will change again as we get closer to fall. Hopefully none will experience flight cancellations.
Our flights are for late October. Return & depart times have changed.
We did also. They have us coming in earlier (okay with me) and departing later (okay also). As long as they don't cancel us...
Couple of questions. We are staying at Universal September 29-30 at Royal Pacific so will have the express pass. Thinking about getting tickets for HHN. Do we need a separate express pass for HHN? Are the rides open during HHN like they are at Disney and should I plan on doing the regular rides or is it more geared towards special Halloween stuff? I'm a big fan of horror movies (my wife not so much) and this seems like it will be really fun.
Awesome, thanks! So is the express pass worth purchasing for HHN? It isn't that much more money (in light of everything else spent on a Disney/Universal vacation) but don't want to spend unnecessarily.Yes, you need a separate Express Pass for HHN. Your hotel EP is not valid.
Some rides open, but the focus is more on the houses and HHN stuff. It is an amazing event.
Since you're going on a Wednesday & Thursday it shouldnt be too awful, line wise. I would say if you're only going to the event one night, then definitely get the EP. If you have two nights, and don't mind waiting in a couple longer lines you could probably get away without it.Awesome, thanks! So is the express pass worth purchasing for HHN?

Thanks. What sort of line waits should I expect with the EP? Never been and just trying to get a sense of what to expect.Since you're going on a Wednesday & Thursday it shouldnt be too awful, line wise.

And a follow up question--what are the park hours and HHN hours? I'm having trouble finding that info on the Universal website.
I'm super-excited about this. We LOVE Halloween and I LOVE horror movies and we both LOVED Haunting of Hill House.

Excellent info. I've got no patience for lines longer than 30 minutes, and since this is the only night we get to go we'd like to do as much as possible so glad I purchased the EPs.This is one of the lines for one of the houses in 2019.
The EP line that we were in was our longest of the night and it`s the sectioned off single line to the left of the picture. regular line here was 80 minutes, but according to folks in the line it was taking longer, but we were in within 20 minutes of joining the line.
Looking back at my TR for that year, Ghostbusters was a 65 minute line and it took us 10 minutes, the Yeti House was 60 minutes and we were a 5 minute wait.
This is early in September. But, most of our nights were the same.
It depends on your tolerance for lines in the heat. We just won`t wait an hour for anything, but many are happy to do so. So, for us, EP is priceless.
