Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026

[Jerroddragon]

Nah, paid early entry sucks. It took something that used to be free and accessible to all and threw up a financial barrier to entry that only exists to justify someone else's bonus.

For HHN, I somewhat get it now not saying everyone will agree but I can at least understand because of the staffing but....Fan fest is literally for the fans so weird to make it where you could let people in but are like...no
I agree it sucks FNAF is locked behind EA unless you want to wait 45 mins plus

Yeah, but what if I want to pay for it so I can definitively prove I'm a bigger fan than the other fans at Fan Fest Nights?

If I don’t hear, “Like zoinks Scoob! It’s the Invisible Man!” then I’ll be severely disappointed.

Damn, I stand corrected. If we're talking about HHN, I had no idea EA for that used to be free?

For park early entry back when Harry Potter was new, yeah I miss those days.

This is one of those ideas which are honestly kinda' brilliant, also the kind which makes me seriously think about attending for.

I'm surprised there's been no information leaking out of Comic Con yet? Or have I got my timezones mixed up, it's nearly lunch time on Sunday here in Australia in case anyone wants lotto results or anything

Panels already done and dusted ~ nothing new came out outside of really the F&F stuff and some tidbits on HHN that was for this year in context.

Cheers mate, hours of refreshing can now stop time to get on with the weekend LOL!

Wait

So no fan fest announcements? Is there another panel? I thought they advertised fan fest would be talked about

They did talk about it.

They actually did. They’re going to replace Nintendo World with a new hotel.

 

[Jerroddragon]

they talked about it but no news I assume

Well the news was the announcement from the day before.

 

[Viator]

I'm guessing now that they have a proven formula with FFN, that they opted to withhold announcing the full slate far in advance, because there isn't a need to do it now. And that going forward, we should at least expect an announcement once a month ahead of FFN's return in April.

 

[Jerroddragon]

A fun note, I saw the Scooby Characters yesterday before HHN....they had no idea about The Fan fest announcement, lol

 

[rabbitsmoon]

I’m excited for Scooby & Monsters because the characters have dynamics, bits, and games that are clearer and more fun than the characters in BTTF. If so much of the event is gonna be us improvising with equity actors, I don’t want it to be too hard to figure out what to say.

That's good, because at the moment that's it

 

[BriefCasey]

Well, I think we found our next reskin of the park pizza. XP


For real though, I do wonder how they'll go about the themed Scooby Doo food. I'd definitely be down to try something from there once we end up seeing what we get.

I think we'd see a retheme of Mel's, since diners are a frequent stop for the Mystery Gang. That's my best guess.

If that happens, it'll be a funny coincidence that we'll have a streak of backlot experiences at FFN having their food taking over Mel's.
