Eh. Most of Orlando’s scares are e-proms anyway.
A lot of scareactors are using HHN to get full-time jobs at Universal because going from seasonal to FT is an internal hire. A lot are doing it for park admission.
A lot of reasons to be there that have nothing to do with the job.
Wow, I've never seen any characters chatting with each other, unless it's with a supervisor.

Not so much with each other. They stand around and chat (and break character while doing so) with their non-actor friends. At least that’s what I have seen way too much of the past 2 years. That’s what made vanity ball so sucky last year, and I saw vamp was the problem the year before.
I’ve been 4 years total now (not sure the years but the Poe year and the American werewolf year) and never saw the horrible scarezone actors in the prior ones, but it was SO bad the past two (in those two zones only).

During 27 I saw Aliens chatting in Invasion often. Pulling up on the far side and whispering through their masks. The walk way wasn't even jammed, the opposite actually. That being my first year I was pretty surprised to see them doing that.
I’ve went the last 3 years and never noticed it either. Only Vanity ball as mentioned before but it was raining and late. Most scarezones last year weren’t very good anyway. The Houses were great though.

It’s definitely something that happens. I find that it’s more common in the years I went with characters that don’t have strong “scenes” to play out, weapons to brandish, defined IP characters, or particularly horrifying masks. They’ll get bored if their interest and creativity is low, and if there are no toys in their toolbox it’s worse.
Totally a hit-or-miss with the zones, though, because I had a really lovey character interaction in Invasion where one brought me to their leader, then “abducted me” and sat me on a bench, followed by an “I’m watching you” move. The moment I moved to make my escape, the aliens went wild and started to chase me. It was totally fun.

This became an HHN recovery group real fast
Yes! We need one! I’m consumed by HHN everyday.
Hearing from Team Members today regarding Universal Orlando today - lines really, really short. Like scary short. Masks requirements ARE being enforced at all times, even when physically on the ride. Seeing more traffic of people diving into the bathrooms to soak their masks and faces then in the actual lines LOL. This is necessarily relevant to HHN discussion, but felt it was pertinent to the overall first day reopening so y'all can kind of see what to expect in September when HHN starts.
If anyone has any questions they want answered about the protocol, please respond to this post and I'll ask my friends that are there now.

A TM preview is nothing close to an indicator of how HHN will function or what the experience will be like. They’ve likely only got 5k-8k people in each park today.
Even next week won’t be an indicator, as Universal is going to try and gradually increase capacity as time goes on.

I wouldn’t expect one until July. If reopening goes extremely well, maybe the last week of June.

Says the virtual lines are unnecessary with how short all the lines are. Hagrid's is the ONLY ride over 5 mins, and it's only at 30 min. So no good info on that unfortunately.
