Just follow a plan like orlando informer publish. Yes normally staggered opening, but time you do the first one, the other two nearby are open, then once you are done with the other two, the others should be open.

Plenty of people manage to do it on youtube

Wow I can't recall ever being released that early! Just a couple of things I noticed though 1. It's not busy 2. He must have a funny clock as 17:35-19:10 isn't 1 hour & TBH I'm not running!
I'm hopeful we will get all 10 done but I'm certainly planning on long waits for the last ones, ideally a second go & the "daylight" ones would also be good

He didn't get in those house until 5.47pm, and then it was he was then nearly in the 6th house at 7pm, so near enough an hour, either way I'd people happy regardless!

He didn't actually run, but i assume he walked fairly quickly, the second video, the guy got 5 done "from when the gates officially opened", so by 7pm again. He stayed very late, but rode rides, did multiple houses more than once, and on a Friday night.

Either way, my plan is to do stay and scream, follow the advise of orlando informer, try and do as many houses as possible probably before 8pm, then take a break, enjoy scare zones, and shows, then do any remaining houses and revisit those we wish to. We are also doing a Wednesday night, which in theory should be one of the quieter nights as well.

That’s sort of my plan too. We are doing the Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Would love to hear how it all works out for you Dan as we will be first timers.

Very much depends on your view of worth it. On a busy night popular houses can have hour plus queues, at the same time a lot of people purchase express. Typically it will half your queue time. If you do stay and scream, plan your night, you can still get everything done, though express will obviously make your night easier and quicker.

The normal universal app is the only one, you don't necessarily need it, but it shows wait times, and you can add your tickets to it.

Do you need to purchase a scream early ticket if you already have a valid ticket for the day and are inside the park already at closing? Or do you get placed in the same “holding area” as those with a scream early ticket?

I take it if you have a normal express pass for that day it is only valid up until the park closes at 5pm and you can’t use it for the rides in the evening once it changes to the HHN event? Obviously they sell an express pass for HHN but wasn’t sure if that was mainly geared for the houses rather than the rides that are still open.

No scream early ticket if you already have entry into the studios.
Yes same holding areas. They either clear the park or have guests in holding areas.
Express only valid till park closes.
HHN express valid for houses and Rides I think - one time on each.
