    Disney Annual Pass Struture and Pricing Change

    I'm in the same boat as a college student that tries to have fun while living within a budget. My initial reaction to the change in structure was a total knee-jerk and I did get the urge to bash Disney for it but after actually looking at the prices and benefits, the Silver pass is completely...

    Disney Annual Pass Struture and Pricing Change

    I have mixed feelings about this whole thing but I think the fact that all the Disney AP options now have free parking is a game changer and in a way, Disney sets the standard for every Orlando park's pricing so Universal really didn't have much of an option. If anything, it seems like Disney's...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25: Reviews & Photos

    It totally depends, but based on the wait times I've seen, The Purge has had longer wait times way more frequently than TWD. A couple people I've spoken to in the lines for other houses have all said TWD was just okay. I'd like to think this is all the writing on the wall but if TWD isn't...

    I noticed this, too. I think I know why, though. On my Friday evening run-through the line got stalled while I was in the room right before the finale and there was a blackshirt standing in the same spot the final Body Collector normally is so I think there's a possibility someone touched or...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25 Discussion

    I get why it's frustrating but think of it from Universal's standpoint: by most accounts, scareactors "clock in" at about 5PM to get into makeup and costume in time for the event to begin. If their cast's shift is running until 2AM(or later, really, not everyone in line before the cut off will...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25: Reviews & Photos

    I really appreciate those of you bringing their DSLRs into the park to take all these amazing pictures. The makeup and costuming this year is just off the charts amazing. It's one thing to be there and see it for yourself, but to be able to linger over an image and see all the work that went...

    Just another newb dropping in to say hi.

    Haha, I've noticed! especially with regards to the whole Disney vs. Universal thing, which can get REALLY heated on some parts of the internet(*cough*reddit*cough*) but it seems like everyone here is pretty chill and just wants to have fun.

    Just another newb dropping in to say hi.

    Hey, everyone! I've already posted elsewhere on the forum but wanted to take some time to properly introduce myself. My name is Sam, I'm a college student. I've been lurking the forums and listening to the podcast for a little while now but decided to finally make an account to participate in...

    Agreed. As an APH with a FF+(no express), I agree my ticket was a total steal at $105 and I'd see no issue paying an additional $25-50 next year if 2016 has an equally solid lineup, but $200+? No way. Getting rid of ROF seems like a wiser decision that wouldn't lead to as much uproar.

    This is exactly what happened to me on Friday night! Did TWD first because I knew it was going to be one of the busiest houses all night and I just wanted to get it done before it got crowded, but the line ended up being about 30 mins by the time they opened up the lines just for the holding...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25: Reviews & Photos

    I'll do my review in chronological order. I was lucky enough to get into Employee Preview night and only got to do three houses and Bill and Ted's, plus the scarezones. I did the APH early access event on Friday. Saturday was a mess, operation/flow wise, but I still had fun. Bill and Ted's...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25 Discussion

    I walked into the line for Run last night around 7:30 and the sign estimated a 20 minute wait. With the express line building up and then moving consistently with short bursts of the standby line getting let in, my wait got stretched into 40 minutes. So I think the problem with express is that...

    Halloween Horror Nights 25 Discussion

    Honestly, I'm beginning to think my old method of starting at the tents and working my way to the sound stage houses later in the evening isn't going to cut it this year. Insidious and TWD both had high wait times by the opening on Friday and Saturday. I got in early from the APH event on Friday...
