GO ALONE: Scaredy Cat’s Guide to Halloween Horror Nights (8 Solo Travel Tips)

Do you think it’s weird to have a solo Halloween Horror Nights trip? I don’t think so!

The air is getting cooler, there is a spine-tingling aura surrounding Orlando for solo travelers ready to descend upon Universal for the Halloween season.

In Orlando, haunts are one of the most anticipated events of the year. The leader in this has to be hands down, Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). The preparations are being made around the clock every year and every year it continues to be one of the most visited haunts in the United States.

Last year was the first time that it had not happened, due to Universal’s mission to keep its guests and Team Members safe from the 2020 pandemic.

Research will be your guide and savior
Shop with your wallet, not other’s

By researching, you understand your options and what is available to you in order to make this trip come true.

Being aware that most cost guides are family focused and not solo travel focused, meaning your expectations of cost may deter you from trying if you’re traveling solo.

Socializing at theme parks. Disney solo.
