Just curious on what you think the chances are that they would extend it to the second weekend of November? I thought a couple years ago, they extended it longer than the original announcement which annoyed me because we have to travel for this and we always like to be there for the final night. Because our flights were already booked and other things scheduled, we missed the final night.

I would’ve said that it depends on if any event days get cancelled due to hurricanes but they didn’t even extend it last year - so I wouldn’t count on it.

As someone with an early November birthday, I'd love to celebrate it at HHN one day. Maybe 2027-2028 if they continue to extend into the first weekend in November.

I doubt we see them extend HHN beyond the first Nov weekend. Halloween would have been tired out for the locals and the turnaround between Halloween and Christmas is already tight. They already put up IOA's christmas decors in October in order to give USF enough time to remove and replace HHN stuff.

So I have a question in terms of contract rights for IPs. Has it ever been made clear how exactly the IP holders make their money off that? Is it typically a licensing fee or a percentage off event tickets? Do they get the Rowling treatment where all their merch gives them a cut as well?

Universal pays the IP holder for the license, and potentially a percentage of merch.

Thanks, good to know!
