Nice seeing you again too, Sno!
I really think they need to consider adjusting the operating hours for off-peak nights at least by a half-hour. The crowds are getting insane this year.
One reason we've been avoiding waiting for the houses is that it is just so damn humid for this time of year. Throw in that your standing in line with a whole bunch of people and it adds another of level of heat.
One thing I would like to note is that, as snoman said, they are wayyyyyyyy off on the wait times. We waited in line for Cleaver for close to an hour, when the posted wait was 15 min. I understand that some things can happen and it won't be exactly 15 min, but there's no reason to be 45 min off.
This also happened at the Spawning. The posted wait was 10 min, we walked thru and the wait looked closer to 45-60.
We managed to get 4 houses done though since we took advantage of Stay and Scream.
