Who should skip it
You are bringing young children, or you want the scale of Halloween Horror Nights — this is smaller, and cheaper.
The move
It is a Tampa event, so the Orlando crowds mostly are not here. Weeknights in September are the quietest and cheapest window all season.
Getting there
Standard Busch Gardens lots. Far easier than any Orlando park.
One thing worth knowing
The park's daytime residents — 200+ animal species — are asleep on the other side of the fence while this happens.
Make it an outing
Make a Tampa weekend: Ybor the next night, Riverwalk in the daylight between.
