food IS a theme park
2025 is shaping up to be a BANGER of a year for Universal Orlando. Of course, there’s the brand-new Epic Universe theme park opening in May, but that’s not all.
Universal Orlando
Universal just revealed the dates for Halloween Horror Nights, and Holidays at Universal, and announced an all-new event: Volcano Bay Nights. Let’s get into all the details!
Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall in Florida later this evening, and we’ve been following updates as the storm progresses.
We’ve got cancellations at Universal Orlando
As the Hurricane continues to grow and get closer, Disney World recently announced the closure of Typhoon Lagoon on Thursday (today), as well as the cancellation of tonight’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It seems Universal Orlando is following suit and has also announced a cancellation and closure of its own ahead of the hurricane making landfall.
If you’re looking for a Halloween experience that’s a bit different from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World, you may be considering Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.
It’s time!
Halloween Horror Nights runs on Wednesday through Sunday nights from now through November 3rd, 2024. The event is quite different from Disney’s event in that you’re not encouraged to wear costumes, there’s no parade or special fireworks, and there’s no trick-or-treating. However, you get a lot more scary stuff, including ten haunted houses and five scare zones that are sure to get your blood pumping. However, if you just have one night to visit Halloween Horror Nights, you might have to pay extra to walk through all those haunted houses with little to no wait.
If you’re looking for something a little more intense than Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World, then you may be planning to head to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort this year!
It’s time!
Halloween Horror Nights, or HHN, is certainly NOT for the faint of heart! If you’ve never been to one of these events before, you may be in for a surprise if you don’t know what you’re getting into. But that’s why we’re here! If you’re heading to the event this year, here’s everything you need to know so you’re not caught off guard!
Halloween Horror Nights are coming soon to Universal Orlando!

These spooky Halloween events will get your blood pumping and your breathing racing. If you like to be frightened and enjoy the darker things in life, then the Halloween nights are certainly for you! The Halloween Horror Nights begin on August 30th in Orlando and are sure to frighten your socks off. There are haunted houses, scare zones, entertainment, and more. Plus, there are exclusive souvenirs that will become available BEFORE the events begin. Universal released a “shriek peek” at what’s coming, so let’s check it out!
Halloween Horror Nights starts in Universal Orlando SOON, people!
@Universal Studios
Can you believe it’s almost time for this frightening event again? Halloween Horror Nights certainly isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s perfect for those who love to be scared. If part of the reason you love the event is because of the exciting merchandise that gets released, we have a SNEAK PEEK you need to see!
Move over Willy Wonka — Universal Orlando is bringing the sweets AND scares to Halloween Horror Nights this year!
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando Resort has provided plenty of terrors during the Halloween season since 1991 and it looks like this year will be no exception. Unlike Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights are genuinely terrifying, featuring several haunted houses, scare zones, and entertainment, all catered towards a more mature audience. If this sounds like your kind of Halloween event, you’ll be excited to learn that Universal released details about a brand-new haunted house!
You’ve probably heard of FOMO (the fear of missing out), but have you considered JOMO — the joy of missing out?
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Crowds
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom is one of Disney World’s most popular seasonal events, and for good reason. Between trick-or-treating, lack of wait times, and all the fun Halloween entertainment, we get it. However, if you’re looking for reasons to skip Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, we get that too.
Disney World might be the spot for Pumpkin Spice and Fall decorations, but Universal Orlando is home to ALL the fears you can think up during Halloween time.
The Simpsons
Although Halloween Horror Nights has been canceled this year, Universal has still been bringing terrifying treats and merchandise into the parks at the Tribute Store and beyond!
