Halloween at Universal Orlando 2020

[Rikku]

Didn't try the drink myself but have heard nothing but horrible negative reviews about the drink, all other food options seem to be doing fine though and positive reviews lol. Are we assuming the tweet was removed due to negative feedback?

 

[Tbad556]

Hearing mixed things. Was it removed from the Skeleton Bar?

Yep.

 

[rinacee]

Yep.

Now THAT I will give a try. I had only heard bad reviews of Circus Peanut besides one single video where the reviewer just said it was a good option if you didn't want a sweet drink.
Are these drinks a bit stronger than the traditional pre-mixed options during normal HHN or are they about the same?

The Circus Peanut drink tasted like a urinal cake

And I had to pay way more to try the Circus Peanut drink

It's just amazing that urinal cake based drinks get so much hate. They'd probably do better with Six Flag's demographic.

That demo would probably think WDW had finally poured a full measure and be happy

Yeah. I didn't want to get accused of starting a Universal vs. Disney war. Some get touchy about that here, even when it's in jest.

Preserved for posterity or until Brian moves on....

We have different opinions of human behavior, especially human behavior in Florida. A fine from a county may not mean much to you, but it adds a layer of legitimacy to any private company looking to demand mask usage. In my opinion, Florida just opened the flood gates and anyone who doesn’t want...

I wasnt there but the app showed. Gringotts @ 120min hulk 75min most of the day. most rides where Virtural. shrek was 120 min again. Must have been heaving.

Here's a quick report.

Landed at MCO around 4:30. Got to Cabana Bay around 5:30ish. Walked into USF around 6:15. Finished both houses by 6:45.

The standby times were WAY less than posted. Brides said 30 and we waited about 10. Tooth Fairy said 45 and we waited about 15.

So that all being said, I'm not sure if we're even going to attempt to get Virtual Line times tomorrow morning. Unless it's from our bed at Cabana lol.

Appreciate you

I would imagine that if this goes into next year we get a situation where they make all the houses this style but open all day. They probably charge a premium pass to get into the houses on top of the standard ticket that you have to buy to get in. If they have say 10 houses the standard ticket only guarantees you get in five on reservations and the VIP guarantees you get into all of them which would you price for like Express.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Not a big crowd for early entry this morning so far. Almost 7:40 and lines aren't even at the ticket booths yet.

 

[MrTorrance]

Anybody know if the houses are open during EPA?

 

[kyakona]

Yesterday people socially distanced near the Tooth Ferry queue from EPA(7:45 am gate open) and were told queues wouldn’t open until 8:30 am. They actually opened the queues 8:15-820 am, and I was the 3rd person to enter the house at 9:01 am

The circus peanut was just unpleasant and didn't offer complementing flavors. I think it might have been a problem of making it fresh vs pre-batch.
