First year visiting for the event after having to cancel last year, will we be able to do every house in one night if we have express pass?

When the houses have their highest wait times, it can be a good time to spend time in the scarezones on a bench. Sometimes I’ve enjoyed zones more just sitting and watching rather than walking around myself. This time is also a good time to get a late dinner, so that’s good for recharging as well.A question I'm mulling over is how to keep energy over the night. I don't wanna overexert myself, but I have 3 days, and I don't get to come much, so I wanna get as much as I can out of it. I was initially thinking about rationing an energy drink throughout the night(s), but I wanna know if there are any better ideas.
If you’re staying on-site, don’t be afraid to take a break at your hotel midway through the night (or even just go out and relax in Citywalk for an hour). I find the 8:30-11pm crowds pretty unenjoyable, not just because of the house lines, but because it makes the streets congested and backs up every food stand wait. If you split the night into two parts, I think it’ll keep your legs fresh, and you should still be fine to get through 3-4 houses + zones in each portion of your night without any sort of express.A question I'm mulling over is how to keep energy over the night.

I have a two part answer to this.A question I'm mulling over is how to keep energy over the night.

Hard to say, it's been a while since we had a final day this far after Halloween. Will also depend on if they open up FF/FFP passes those final two nights. If they don't, will be final night for a lot of guests, but usually a fair amount of burnout after 2 months.Hello all! Was not planning on going this year because I live across the country now and had already planned on going to Disney for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon. I saw that November 3 is one of the last dates for HHN and turns out to be when I fly in. I’ve been going every year since 2008 but have always went at the very beginning of the season. How are crowds typically that Nov Friday? Wondering if I should add express.
IF you can swing the express pass I would pay for the express pass. Crowds can be 50-50 on that last weekend after Halloween. My first HHN was after Halloween and it wasn't terrible. We still paid for express and that was worth it just to not have to be up all night to see all the houses.Hello all!

Twice I have regretted Express but it was the FFP+Express. Both times I was on the fence about getting it, we went opening weekend and everything was slammed with ops being a mess (I'm pretty sure at least a few people on here remember these years). We determined the only way we were going to get any houses done was to get Express. Went to Guest Services, upgraded, easy and done.Hard to say, it's been a while since we had a final day this far after Halloween.

On the flip side, I've never heard anyone say they regretted buying Express.
If you can hold out, see if they open the event up more to multinight tickets that week. If no announcement by Thursday, ops still expects a crowd, go ahead and grab Express.
I purchased express for opening weekend and was wondering approximately how long the express lines would be. I don’t want to wait any longer than 30 minutes in express lines.
Just be careful to not get stuck in a corner. I have poor dark vision so getting lost in the houses was an issue for me last year. Several times I was rerouted by staff after getting stuck in corners. Feeling your way around tends to confuse the scare actors. I think they are worried you will touch themThis tip may sound strange, but if you wear sunglasses in the houses, it is actually a lot scarier because of the darkness. It sounds stupid, but once your eyes have adjusted to the darkness at night, it is actually kind of fun because you don’t see a lot of the scares coming. Would not recommend this during daylight hours, only at night once your eyes have adjusted to the darkness. I love getting scared, so this is pretty fun for me. Yeah, you look ridiculous with sunglasses in a haunted house, but if you love scares, give it a try
In my experience 30 minutes or less is a safe bet. I know some people have gripes about HHN ops lately but from what I’ve experienced Express queue management has been taking a step up.I purchased express for opening weekend and was wondering approximately how long the express lines would be.
