Halloween at Universal Orlando 2020

[krazyhorrorkid]

R.I.P ICONS and Beetle lol xD
It's probably for the best anyways...

 

[RevFreako]

That did not need a livestream and a countdown

It worked, didn't it?

I hope they have enough scareactors so that not everyone has to work every single day because if they only have enough so that the same people have to come in everyday for a month straight then I give them my condolences and I feel for them.

Probably why they were hiring more scareactors.

(sorry, mods)

Today Disney and Universal fans got to bond over announcements that were exactly what everyone expected them to be, but still being let down because they wanted more.

 

[HHN Yeti Lover]

that announcement video was not necessary lol, they could have just posted it lmaooo

 

[Moistowlette11]

I mean, that was a hype release for something... everyone already knew. Oh well, means my trip to Florida will be extra spicy!

 

[Frightnight03]

So is this operating all day everyday in the October date range, not just the weekend?Hopefully this means crowds won’t be crazy.

Possible hot take, but this is exactly what I want. A perfect taste going into next year without giving away too much. :shrug:

Operates daily October 3-November 1.

Not that I’d go, although it’s been a year so I may say F it on a weekday if I were there, can’t beleive to say, IM JEALOUS IM NOT IN FLORIDA THIS FALL.

The GP isn't as hep as we are to what's happening on a daily basis at Universal. This announcement is mostly for those people, and they're 99% plus of the attendance. They don't really need to wow the super fans.

 

[Jengo_Fett]

For us Beetle fans, he’s going to be “roaming” again on Hollywood Blvd for meet and greets.

So you just need to be on site for a Virtual Line time, correct?

So theoretically if you're in IOA for Early Entry, technically you could get on the app and get a time once 9AM hits?

 

[Moistowlette11]

And I see cinemark is going to be playing classic horror films!

You got it! I’d say start checking before the 9am since they like to release them a few minutes early.

Yes including the resorts. I suggest start checking 15 minutes prior to park open, but let’s be real, after think weekend there’s a good chance you can walk in without a VL the last hour or two the park is open.

Wow...so it looks like they completely abandoned the up-charge idea?? I guess they realized the two houses bring enough guests that the extra spending makes up for it.

Or the idea of upcharging never got past the talking phase. I have a feeling they realized what a bad look it would be, after cancelling the event. Better to use it to get people in the park, spending food and bev, and maybe give a taste to people who haven't tried HHN and might pay for it next year.

Is staying at a Universal Resort hotel considered on site?

We talked about it a bit here, but part of the craziness of the testing weekend was the fear of it being a one and done weekend. Now that you have an ample amount of dates, I don't expect that kinda craziness (outside maybe Columbus Day Weekend)

yes
