Let's agree to disagree on this one. I'm with Capt. We also travel for this event - coming down four weekends. However, we only do two nights per weekend with rare exceptions. I can do a lot of walking without issue. I mean, I walk the dog 4 miles per day. That being said, HHN is a way different animal because the walking on average is 6-8 miles per night. I can't do that for consecutive nights anymore. I also can't just stand for hours in lines as it absolutely wrecks my body. So, express is an absolute must for us (my group is all around the same age with same issues).
There are more reasons people need express than just skipping the line. Stating "if you go more than 3 days in a season, you don't need express" is presumptuous and ridiculous.
I'm not going to get sucked into the whole "they aren't doing multi-night passes with express" thing again this year. I made myself absolutely insane over last year for no good damn reason. Uni is a BUSINESS and express is absolutely gravy for them. I find it very difficult to believe they would remove express from any pass it's already been attached to for decades. IF they happen to do that - I will not travel for this event like I have for the last 21 years.
