assuming one has the express pass, is it safe to assume that hitting stranger things later in the night will be around 30 min or so? Or are we talking even longer than that with the pass?
I'll be honest, all this waiting around next to Finnegans and jockeying for position to try and be one of the first in sounds incredibly stressful.
I've been considering doing things backwards and staying in Springfield, and then coming out and hitting Dead Exposure, Slaughter Sinema, and then Blumhouse. IIRC, two of these are tents, so I have some concern that light might ruin those a bit for me... but I also figured I could always use the regular line and then come back later and use express pass if I feel the light was an issue or if I feel like they are worth seeing again.
I had originally thought about trying to get a table at Finnegans around 3 or 3:30, but it sounds like that may be problematic. Outside Finnegans was a mess last time I went (2014). It was hot and people had no where to sit except for right on the cement.
The Hello Kitty area sounds like a miserable place to be.
We have tickets for 2 nights. We have express passes for one of those nights. Unfortunately the express passes are for a thursday night and the second night is a friday.... so I figure friday will be spent watching the academy of villians, enjoying scare zones, maybe hitting up a few rides / Diagon Alley, and then possibly seeing 2 or 3 of the houses again depending on wait times.
That said, the waiting pens thing is really stressing me out.
