I feel this haha. Now that we live in North FL it becomes a big thing. Gotta get the hotel, travel, food, boarding our pups, etc. I'd love to get Express (and am still considering the after 10 if my group wants to do it, but with so many people going with us this year it adds some difficulty). but it's already a lot haha.It's no biggie... we've always done one night only without express so we are getting two nights this year (due to the promo) so we are going to have twice the amount of time to tackle HHN29 so I think we should be good... If I was a local I would consider it but I'm already spending over a thousand dollars on this vacation (going for a week) and that isn't counting any food, souvenirs, additional activities etc... I have to draw the line somewhere!!!! Suze Orman is having a seizure somewhere because I have no business going on this trip in the first place ..ut:
But YOLO/Treat Yo Self
To be honest, I've gone the last 7 years and have never had Express. Up until last year we've gotten every house done (unless we purposely skipped a house, which was rare). Last year we went with a first-timer, and between easing them into it plus the Stranger Things line, that killed the streak lol. But we still got 7 houses done with many breaks and drink stops. We also puttered around in Diagon Alley for a bit. If we had hit it hard, we easily could have hit at least 9/10 houses. It's possible, just not very leisurely. Every year the crowds increase (or so it seems) and the temptation to get Express also increases, but as long as you prioritize it's fine.
On a speculation note, I am really hoping for a cotton candy type of snack or drink. I'm not one to get the specialty drinks, but I'd get a cotton candy Killer Klowns drink...
