TheMouseForLess Tips

  • Arrive early. Due to the massive popularity of the event, the earlier you arrive, the more you will have the opportunity to experience the thrills and chills!
  • For those who are looking to make sure that they accomplish every house in one night, buying Universal Express may be your only option, as the event crowds have gotten much larger.
  • Make sure to purchase tickets ahead of time. Not only do you get to save a little money, but the lines for Halloween Horror Nights ticket purchases are extremely long, delaying your ability to enjoy the haunts.
  • Halloween Horror Nights has a pretty active social media presence. Make sure to follow along for all the latest details
  •  Looking for a break from the scares? Diagon Alley is open to Guests and doesn’t feature any Halloween Horror Nights overlays.
  • No masks or costumes will be allowed.
  • Get real-time wait times of each haunted house with Universal Orlando Resort’s app. For those that don’t have the app downloaded, there will be in-park wait time boards found throughout the park.
  • Universal CityWalk is a great place to grab dinner and drinks before the event begins.
  • You get free admission to select CityWalk clubs with your event ticket, so head over after to keep the night going.
  • We know that these events are scary, but don’t attack scareactors.
