The resort is introducing a new wristband protocol for guests who are part of something called “Stay and Scream.”Previously, attendees were expected to stay in a designated area. Now, guests attending Halloween Horror Nights 34 will be given special wristbands that they can wear, allowing them to continue enjoying the park at their leisure.“You’ll be free to explore the park to catch a ride or show, grab a bite, shop for merch, or simply take in the sights before the event opens,” said Universal.Stay and Scream begins at 3 p.m. Guests can enter select haunted houses at 4 p.m.Check-in stations for Stay and Scream will be found at the following locations:Illumination’s Minion CaféIllumination’s Villain-Con Minion BlastLombard’s Seafood GrillCredit: UniversalRelated: Disney Removes More Classic Items From Magic Kingdom OvernightWhile it had humble origins, Halloween Horror Nights has become one of the world’s leading Halloween-themed entertainment experiences. Halloween Horror Nights, often abbreviated to “HHN,” draws in thousands of guests each season, featuring a mixture of frightfully fun haunted houses and limited-time treats and merchandise.One of the most exciting and talked-about aspects of HHN is the houses themselves, as Universal usually teases them months in advance. Over the years, fans have seen Universal partner up with other companies, brands, and franchises for these houses.In recent years, Universal has featured a Stranger Things-themed house and one inspired by singer/songwriter The Weeknd.This year, guests can expect houses based on popular horror films and video games, such as Terrifier and Five Nights at Freddy’s, and decades-old video game series like Fallout.HHN mirrors Walt Disney World’s annual Halloween event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which offers a more family-friendly, laid-back experience. Both serve their place, and both have their fans. Both also cost quite a bit of money.A single-day pass for HHN 34 will cost between $80 and $123. Tickets for Disney World’s Halloween party cost between $119 and $229 per person.Dates continue to sell out for both events, so we highly recommend you secure your tickets sooner rather than later.Will you be attending Halloween Horror Nights this year?The post BREAKING: Universal Studios To Implement New Protocols for Florida Guests This Month appeared first on Inside the Magic.
