FanFest Nights 2026

[darkmite2]

Hey!

I was lucky enough to go to Universal Hollywood’s FanFest Nights 2025 last year. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was the best and most immersive theme park experience of my life. (You do have to be OK with a bit of audience participation to fully enjoy everything! I adore that kind of stuff.)

This same week in 2024 is when USH announced the dates for FFN 2025. I’m predicting we’ll see something announced on Thursday, 8/21/25.

If anyone want to know about my FFN 2025 experience you can go to my TR. The direct link to where FFN 2025 starts in my trip is here:

Universal Addict Went Out West! DLR / Knott's / USH - FanFest (Wrap-Up)

Slept in, got my bags 100% packed and am picking up my rental car now. I got to the rental and it wad CLOSED?? The sign says 7:30am opening, but there’s a small group waiting. They say a rep said they open at 9am. (My rental time anyway) I’m glad I didn’t make the pick up time 8am!!! I’m not on any schedule as I am there until 2am and have Express Passes. I really don’t like the bank that runs the Universal Visa card, but it gives great rewards and points!

Feel free to ask questions or just chat! This is also where I’m “hanging out” on the forums now!

I’m planning on going the same time as last year. I haven’t decided if I want to add a day or two at DLR yet. I still want to ride the Matterhorn, which was closed this year when I went.

DD23 may want to tag along and that would give me the excuse to go back. She still hasn’t been to SW:GE or done MMRR. Plus all the unique DL / DCA attractions.
