Creator's Key Takeaways

I am not a fan of horror movies so I was very skeptical of horror nights but the first time we did it I loved it

We were able to do absolutely everything when we you only have one night so we want to make the most of it and we did it all without feeling rushed

This is my favorite race out of all of them the length is great the course is great it flew by

The heat was absolutely brutal at this time it said it was only 96 but that line is hot and stagnant

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy express pass for Universal Hollywood Horror Nights to do everything in one night
βœ“Stay at Pixar Place Hotel for race weekend to use early entry and exclusive entrance
βœ“Use single rider lines at Disneyland to save time on popular rides
βœ“Get late Lamplight Lounge reservation for front row World of Color view
βœ“Strategically park hop and use AC breaks during hottest parts of day
