Here we go

On a particularly eerie Wednesday night, September 6th, my fellow Universal Travel Agent, Carol Solorzano and I ventured into the unknown. As part of the on going partnership between our travel agency and Universal, we were invited for an exclusive training by Universal. This training included a special invitation to Halloween Horror Nights.

​We braved the thrills and chills of Halloween Horror Nights, our hearts pounding but our goal resolute: to better understand and plan this haunting experience for our clients.

Expectations vs Reality

We went in expecting to be terrified, and let's just say, Universal did not disappoint! 😱 Beyond the fear, however, we were deeply impressed by the meticulous attention to detail in set design, costumes, and overall ambiance.

The Houses of Horror

Throughout the night, we visited several houses, including Stranger Things 4, Try to Escape the Curse of Vecna, YETI: Campground Kills, and Dueling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate. Each offered its own unique brand of terror, but the Yeti house stole the show for us. The towering beasts loomed so close that I couldn't help but step on the heels of the people in front of me. Sorry, folks! 👣

Tasteful Terror

Our fears were momentarily set aside as we indulged in some Halloween-themed culinary delights. 🍔 The Peanut Blooder Burger, part of Universal Orlando's Taste of Terror, offered an unusual yet oddly satisfying blend of flavors with its peanut sauce, raspberry jelly, cheddar, jalapeño, bacon, and cherry peppers, all beautifully packed in a black bun. Twisted tators and fried Oreos also made the cut!

Scare Zones and Performances

After dark, the scare zones came alive, and oh boy, did they deliver! We walked through Vamp '69 - Summer of Blood, where we were surrounded by zombie hippies. One even got close enough to hiss in my ear! 🧛‍♂️

Expert Advice: Go for the Express Pass

Given the event's popularity, we highly recommend opting for an Express Pass or a RIP tour to make the most of your night. ⏳

A Duel to Remember: The Death Eaters Show

But wait, there's more! One unforgettable highlight of our night was the Death Eaters Show. Just when we thought we'd seen it all, the atmosphere turned electric—or should we say, darkly magical. 😈

At the end of the mesmerizing performance, the Death Eaters didn't just take a bow and vanish; they walked straight into the crowd! Surrounded by atmospheric smoke and under the eerie glow of creepy green lights, they seemed to challenge us to a duel.

​The experience was nothing short of spellbinding and added an extra layer of excitement and interactivity that we hadn't anticipated. Absolutely amazing! 🪄✨

Final Thoughts

Our favorite part was the realization of why people are so enamored with this event. Halloween Horror Nights is a masterfully crafted experience that caters to those who relish the spine-tingling sensations that only a good jump scare can offer. 🎃
​
Would we go again? Absolutely! But never alone. A night of terror is best shared with friends, don't you think?
