Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think HM used to close later, but they've been pushing the start of Halloweentime back so it's closer to the beginning of September. Since HMH is one of the main attractions for it (other than the decorations and some coloring pages at Big Thunder Ranch), they have changed the date that it opens accordingly. I don't know what the dates for Halloweentime are this year, but this past year it started around the second weekend in September, if I remember correctly (12th-ish).
