Thursday 19 September

We slowed the pace down again today as the boys were booked to go to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights in the evening.



Plans for the morning were to visit the Premium Outlet Mall at Vineland and get there for opening so that we didn’t have to fight for a space in the car park.  Mission achieved on that score we had a mooch around for a few hours here.


There didn’t seem to be the usual discounts in such as American Eagle but maybe part of that is due to the rubbish exchange rate at the moment.  Andrew managed to pick up some good deals in the Under Armor & Nike outlets for some workout gear and new trainers and Catherine finally managed to settle on some Vans that she liked the look of.  We were also amazed at the queue for the Disney Warehouse store (it isn’t normally like this!)




For lunch we drove down the I-4 to Davenport’s Ale House.  Somehow this didn’t feel up to usual standards on the boneless wings front (maybe I should’ve specified that I wanted them breaded! – CBC), but the boys enjoyed their lunch and Chris tried some of their new beers.  It is definitely still somewhere to go when you’re really hungry so the boys were set up for their evening of scares.


Back to the house and Catherine settled down for a chilled night with the TV and some sewing.  Andrew & Chris left for Universal at about 4.30 and had a brilliant night.  Halloween Horror Nights is definitely not one for the faint hearted (which is why Catherine didn’t go).





There are several themed houses that you can visit and also a few scare zones where devilish creatures will give you a fright.  The boys managed to get on several rides before the night officially started, including Rip Ride Rocket (the one that Alan Carr went on last summer & the footage of his reactions went viral).





They managed to visit 7 of the houses, including the Stranger Things house, Ghostbusters, Us, Depths of Fear & Universal Monsters, experienced all 3 scream zones & saw both shows which they said were fantastic.  It was a late night but a very enjoyable one.
