Ideas for eating before/during HHN?

[oldjonah]

We are going to HHN on the 31st of October and will spend the day in Universal Studios.

My quandary is what to do for dinner? Do we leave and have an early dinner at Hard Rock Cafe or stay and eat in the park? If so where?

Or lunch somewhere in Citywalk and then eat lighter at dinner?

I don't want to miss the start

Ideas please people!

Hi! We are going to HHN opening night, we are planning on eating at City Walk mid-afternoon, and being in the park and going to a holding area so we are actually in the park for the start of it. Apparently there are food carts throughout the park and some of the eating places stay open as well!

I wouldn't eat during the event unless you are grabbing a quick snack. It's a waste of time, especially if you are only going for one night

We didn't notice we were hungry (too much fear adrenaline I guess!) until late... maybe 11 or midnight... so we just grabbed some wedges and chilli from a food cart and watched people in the scare zone while we ate

Have you thought about the Scareactor Dining experience.
We did this last year and it was so much fun. Not only does it get the food out of the way early on you get loads of cool photos with the scareactors that you wouldn't normally get.

We went in to the park early then ate at the Irish pub in the holding area.

I'm not familiar with the holding areas, we normally just get there for the start of HHN...are there many places to eat in the holding areas? Also, do you get into the actual HHN any earlier by using the holding areas? Sorry, for hijacking the thread!

That's what we do, go to finnigans across from the mummy, have something to eat there and have a wee chill out until it starts, you can get a few houses done before it gets totally mobbed

Last year we did finningans it was really nice but very very busy. People where even sharing tables and we got there early. I would definitely get there before 4pm or book if possible.
