30 Years & Counting HHN 2021, XXX Let’s Stick This One!

How much of a discount is the AP usually? Trying to decide to buy just HHN tickets now and wait on our AP’s, or go ahead and buy AP’s, then HHN when the discount comes out lol

One issue with the APs is it has to be an active AP to get the discount - so you cant buy them until you have gone to the park and activated the pass - this has burned me a few times in the past

I got reservations for 3pm at Finnegan’s.

Any secret to getting a reservation? The website is only showing lunch reservations and a TM told me via phone today that Finnegan’s isn’t taking reservations past 12:45pm on any HHN days.

I just booked it via the link on the Universal website. It was through Zomato. I booked it for Columbus Day weekend on May16.

Ah. They’ve now updated the links to go through NexTable (whose interface leaves much to be desired, btw)…. and they are indeed cut off at 12:45pm. Oh well, I snooze, I lose!

Supposedly, there is more cold and flu going around this summer than during the winter I guess less mask wearing.

So, just to clarify, if we have a APs and will be in the park that day and have HHN tickets, we can go to the "Holding area" at 5:30ish and wait to be let into the houses? We don't need anything else to be allowed to stay *in* the parks?

(and my apologies for the questions, my teens are finally14 and 16 and we are finally able to go to HHN!)

Earlier the better, as in head to one by 5 pm. The houses don’t open ‘early’ until they clear the park of the dawdlers

I would call, mine all went in my wallet. Mine are in a weird order though for the regular HHN tickets for 2 dates. I don’t want to be flipping through them and grab the wrong one. I’m wondering if RPRs vacation desk can print them? Other wise we will just deal with it.

yes they can. I bought daytime tour and HHN tickets while on site because that’s when they went up for sale. I went to RPR desk and they printed them for me back in June. He wasn’t sure he could but it worked. He also had me take a photo of them with my camera in case anything happened to the tickets

On the subject of “linner” on our HHN, I had a lunch ressie at Mythos at 2pm, and I added a linner reservation at Lombard’s today for 3:45pm. Which one would you keep and why? No finnegan’s past 12:45.

They are both good. Lombard's is in Studios, which makes it easier to get to Stay N Scream. I don't know how early the Hogwart's Express gets busy on HHN days. You can always walk over from IOA though. Plus, if you are already in Studios, you can get dessert at Florean Fortescue's. Got to think about the important things

That is correct. You will already be in the park because of your APs. When entering the holding area, the TMs will scan your HHN ticket.

Opinions on the best way to get from PBH to CBBR for the Jack’d Up Experience?

Maybe take the bus to Volcano Bay and then walk to Cabana Bay or, take the boat to City Walk and take the bus to Cabana Bay. I’ve been thinking about this too.
