Go minimal: ID, one payment card, phone in a zipped pocket, and car key on a wrist strap. Most haunts ban backpacks and large bags inside or charge for lockers, and anything loose becomes a casualty in dark corridors. Leave the nice jewelry home, and split essentials between two people so one dead phone doesn't strand the whole group at pickup time.
Count attractions and multiply by 45-60 minutes each on a busy night, including queues; four haunts means arriving at opening. Do the headliner first, alternate intense and milder attractions so nobody's adrenaline flatlines, and slot the midway break in the middle. If time runs short, drop the attraction most like one you've already done rather than rushing the finale.
Arrive at opening or in the last 90 minutes before close; the 8-10 pm block is the crush. Hit the longest, most famous attraction first while crowds are thin, then work down to shorter ones. Buy tickets online before you leave so you skip the box-office line entirely, and screenshot them in case cell service dies in a field.
