About this Plan
This touring plan is carefully crafted to optimize your time experiencing the haunted houses, scare zones, and entertainment at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights. This plan can be used by travelers visiting the event for a single night or multiple nights.
Download the App
Before visiting Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights, we recommend downloading the Universal Orlando app from the App Store or Google Play Store. The app provides wait times, showtimes, an event map, and more.
Entering the Event
We suggest arriving at the entrance to Universal Studios Florida, where the event is held, by at least 4:30 PM. You won’t gain entry to the event at this time, but being nearer to the park gates gives you an advantage over other guests. Keep in mind that it may take up to 40 minutes to reach the front gates from the parking booth if you’re driving. However, if you’re visiting Universal Studios Florida during regular park operating hours on the same day you’re attending Halloween Horror Nights or if you have a Scream Early ticket, remain in the park past closing in a designated Stay & Scream area for expedited entry to select haunted houses. It’s a good idea to download the official Universal Orlando app in advance to view attraction wait times, check showtimes, navigate the park, and much more.

Tips
- If you’re visiting the event for just one night, we recommend having dinner before you arrive to maximize your time for enjoying the haunted houses and experiences.
- If you’re visiting Universal Studios Florida during regular park operating hours on the same day you’re attending Halloween Horror Nights or if you have a Scream Early ticket, you should remain in the park past closing in a designated Stay & Scream location. This will provide expedited access to select haunted houses before guests at the front gates. Each Stay & Scream location provides access to different haunted houses, usually indicated on signage (or you can ask a Universal Orlando team member). Choose the location that grants entry to your preferred house(s). Once your Stay & Scream group is released, enter the designated house(s) first and then follow the order of this touring plan.
- To reduce your wait times, consider purchasing Halloween Horror Nights Express to skip the regular lines at all haunted houses.
- If you’re staying at a Universal Orlando on-site hotel and are not visiting Universal Studios Florida during regular park hours or don’t have a Scream Early ticket, use the designated entrance for on-site hotel guests. Although you won’t be admitted earlier than guests at the regular entrance, you’ll avoid the large crowds and enter more quickly.
- If you’re using Halloween Horror Nights Express, continue following this touring plan to efficiently navigate the park and make the most of your time.
- If you’re using Halloween Horror Nights Express and want to revisit a haunted house, use the regular line if the posted wait time is under 30 minutes as Halloween Horror Nights Express can only be used once per house.
- At select quick-service restaurants throughout the park, you can use the Universal Orlando app‘s mobile ordering service. This feature allows you to order your meal in advance, so when you arrive at the restaurant, you can quickly pick up your food and avoid long lines at the ordering counter.
- Don’t rush from one attraction to another. Take your time to explore the different scare zones at the event.
