Good luck to you and all in your quest to avoid spoilers! Been a fun spec year.Weeks. Not going until after RoF
I used to make my HHN trips the last week of October. Once I started going in late September, I just kept moving it earlier and earlier.Weeks. Not going until after RoF
To be fair, last two weeks of October (typically quite awful crowd wise) was a far better experience than September IMO. It was pretty shocking.I used to make my HHN trips the last week of October. Once I started going in late September, I just kept moving it earlier and earlier.
I can't go back to late October again lol
Yes, this! We had SO MUCH FUN Halloween night last year. We got to do our favorites multiple times, and it was overall such a fun and pleasant experienc.e The crowds can stay away at end of October.To be fair, last two weeks of October (typically quite awful crowd wise) was a far better experience than September IMO.

You can see (attached graph) September waits were far higher than October. Waits dramatically drop off after the last ROF weekend, which surprisingly was HHN's busiest weekend.
Who knows if we see this again this year.

Yes that’s super odd. But with TM preview tonight, it looks like it. I look forward too then as well. Guess the beating heart was the commercial this year lolYes, this!

Also, everyone talking about closing out spec - I guess this means no official commercial this year? Isn't that really odd? I look forward to those every year! I guess I'll just go to YouTube and find that perfectly aweome video they did years ago about "you might be an HHN fan if.." or whatever it was. I think that little video was all of us.Thanks for all the intetersting reads and commentary this year, as always. See you all in the fog! My first night isn't until two week from tomorrow, so after today, I will reduce my time here by a LOT.
Oh yes for sure! I'm just highly impatient and can't wait an extra month and a half, lol. Plus September is cheaper!To be fair, last two weeks of October (typically quite awful crowd wise) was a far better experience than September IMO. It was pretty shocking.

The real slogan this year tbhIsn't that really odd?
Yes always; it’s probably my biggest advice to people wanting to get as much done as possible (that and Stay and Scream). They clear out a LOT at the end, most houses will be walk on and the most popular houses like ST or TLOU last year were even still just like maybe 20 minutes at the very end. I mean actual waits, I’ve noticed they pretty much always lie about them at the end and I never trust the wait time signs at the very end of the night, it could still say something more especially for those popular ones but I alway see them be exaggerated a lot at the end of the night. And you can get into the line right up until 2 am and if there is any wait past 2 you still get to do it, think the max I’ve had at that point is like 20 minutes and they’re usually walk ons by that point. The last hour or so in general is like that; yes. I know it’s tough especially as get older lol, but it’s great way to get more done if you can.Also - maybe I'm a fake fan, but I have never stayed ALL the way to the end of the night at HHN. Is it safe to say things clear out around the last hour?
In addition to clearing out a bit, the standby lines move faster in the last hour because the Express people have used all/most of their house entries and the tours are over.Also - maybe I'm a fake fan, but I have never stayed ALL the way to the end of the night at HHN.
