HHN 34: Tips, Tricks & Planning Thread

[Rikku]

Quick question. If I have already purchased a FFP, can I upgrade it to the FFP+? Only for the regular tickets and I know the express add ons for both have been sold out. My memory on the upgrading is fuzzy considering I can’t remember if they allowed this last year or not.

Depends on availability. Right now they’re sold out. I don’t know how strict they’re being with upgrades this year. Best bet is to call.

I just checked and looks like FFP+ is still widely open I haven't done the upgrade in years but when I did it before I had to call and just pay the difference.

I've always been curious if they'll allow you to upgrade from 2 regular tickets to an ROF.

Also pulled the trigger on Premium Scream, excited about it and think it will be an amazing time even if not as slow as shown last year still should be better than virtually any other night at HHN. But with the high price tag I am feeling anxious about all the stars aligning for a perfect evening haha is anyone else going to it having similar feelings? I know that is true for any park day it is a gamble but just the price for me is a lot for one singular night vs the frequent fear which I feel if one night is mid/low it is ok I can make up for it another night on my trip. Just stressing about "making the most" between food offerings and the advertised staggered house lines. Def will be an open to close sort of situation and hopeful for good weather.

Yeah - sorry. Meant to clarify that "Express" is sold out.

I think you can also do it day-by-day (also based on availability) if not available for the entire pass.

Now that the houses are listed in the tours, I sprang for the 6 house tour on September 19th (8:45). I had to make a choice of one or the other, and considering the 6 house tour is way more stacked for me, and the cheaper day went down to one time slot available, that was an easy now or never kind of choice.

I used to love to watch Thrill Data and see how tickets were selling, I might be alone on this but find that sorta stuff interesting. With Thrill Data unable to fetch the info anymore is there another site or source that has cracked the code or is that now a lost hobby? Lol.

Interesting twist to Hell Week this year -- the big local school districts all have the same in-service day ... and it's October 13, Columbus Day. For the first time in forever, the northeast feeder market and Florida will all be out of school on the same day.

Might make the Thursday before a bit more tolerable with local kids in school the next day, but October 12 is going to be a nightmare.

I'm doing Epcot and Animal Kingdom on those two days and that actually makes me ecstatic that those might be my worst days, because 1. no one should be flooding AK in its current state and 2. I have multiple days at Epcot for Food and Wine, so I don't care if it's busy.

Thanks for the update, 71!
