The neighbors complained about the noise, so it is no longer on the path.

F them Here's a suggestion: Don't pay a million dollars for a house that butts up against one of the largest and busiest working studio properties in the entire world. Same goes for airports, amusement parks, and gang bangs. (Wait, can I say gang bangs on the forums??)

Enjoying the report so far! Can't wait for you to start doing the F&F's from Middle America too

[jray21Why do I still have a donkey title???]

The F&F will be my crowning glory!

Whatever you do, don't hold back!!

Now it's time for Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights! It was an awesome event, and the scareactors were wonderful! We met up with our really good TPR trip friend Fernando/Nando (screen name Nando!), who we met on the Deep South Trip last year! I think we are his charity project. The theming at USH was top notch, but that is to be expected. It was extremely crowded, so anyone who goes, absolutely needs to get a Front of the line pass, and ClubTPR offers a great discount! So, the eternal Halloween question is, which is better, HHN or Haunt. I haven't done any of them in previous years, so I can only compare this years event. I think both events were incredible, but I did like Knott's just a little bit more.

USHHN Good: Incredible theming, Bill & Ted's show (All their other shows are also very professionally done), Better looking scareactors (more realistic), popular movie based houses, and hot chicks!

Knott's Good: Tons of Mazes!, Lots of rides, great theming, fun scareactors (they interacted more versus staying in character, but both have their benefits), great pre-scare dinner event.

USHHN Bad: Only 4.5 (Vampire and Chucky are the 1/2. Vampire because you can do it during the day) mazes. Massive lines without Front of the Line Pass.

Knott's Bad: Theming is great, but it's not Universal. No front of the line offered (except for the TPR event). Some scareactors didn't stay in character onstage (talking to each other normally in front of the GP).

The big debate between the two is quality over quantity, and it is really tough to compare them. I mean, would you rather go to a park with 5 of the worlds biggest and fastest coasters, or a park that has 14 good coasters? At the Universal event, I went through each maze at least three times, and while they were incredible, after a while you started to learn where the scare actors hid. At Knott's, we were barely able to get through all 14, and each one was completely different so you didn't get bored. As for the shows, Universal definitely takes the cake. I liked the Hanging, but there is a huge gap in professionalism between that and Bill and Ted's. Anyway, enough of my ranting. On to the pictures!!!!

Hahaha... That was a fun night! Thanks for making me seem like a child predator BTW And yes, the Front of the Line Pass is so worth the money, but with the TPR Club Discount makes it a lot better. Anyways, I'm glad I spent my b-day weekend with you guys and we need to do this again... Disney for x-mas?!

The last part of the trip, and the first day of our trip, was Disneyland and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. We really weren't too impressed with this event. We spent the day at the park, and lines during the 'exclusive' event were not any better, and in some cases worse! I was really disappointed with that. Also, the even was exclusive to those who bought tickets, but because they didn't close down the park, there were a ton of people walking around, getting candy, and riding the rides that did not have wristbands. Pretty annoying when you spend that much money. They had the characters all dressed up, and had some rare ones as well, so that was nice, but the lines were too long to take pictures so it wasn't worth it to us. The decorations were neat, but the best part was the amount of candy we received. It was definitely the equivalent to at least half the price of the ticket, so it that sense, the event was worth it. And it was quality candy as well! We got Kit Kat's, Reese's, Crunch bars, Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Skittles, M&M's, and even Ghiradelli! I probably will do it again, if only for the candy and extra time, but I won't expect it to be any less crowded than the day. It was also the start of Gay Days, so there were a lot of interesting people around! Well, on to the pictures!

Sadly, the candy is slowing going away ;(

Wow. You should have called this TR "Taking Pictures of Random Guests and Making Fun of Them". I know it was meant to be funny, but mostly it was just mean.

I went to Mickey's Halloween Party 2 weeks ago and definitely thought it was worth the $$$. The candy was awesome (as mentioned) and we got to do Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy with less than a 10 minute wait. Much better than during the day, if you ask me. But Haunted Mansion's line continued to be ridiculous. The Halloween fireworks show was also awesome.
