Any guesses on when HMH will be down for refurb?

[Mom2micayla]

We're supposed to be at DLR this week.. leaving today. Unfortunately 3 of my 4 kids have come down with a nasty stomach virus so we had to reschedule. I'm trying to find off season (I know, hard to do these days ). I'm looking at Sept, but hoping to go when HMH is up and running. I think my DS3 would like HM a lot better with the Nightmare Before Xmas overlay. I've been in late Sept before and it seems like it reopened the last week. Just looking for some insight. I can't seem to find an updated refurb list atm. Thanks!

Generally HM goes down the day after Labor Day and stays down for 2 1/2 weeks, opening as HMH on a Friday.

The subject of when HalloweenTime is beginning has been a hot topic in our "Halloween at DL" super thread. Chances are, if DLR follows the same patterns it followed in 2008 & 2009, HalloweenTime will officially begin (meaning HMH will be open) on the last Friday in September, which is the 24th. However, in 2007, HalloweenTime began on the next to last Friday of September.

World of Color may throw things off this year - we have no way of knowing yet what its impact will be, but it is already affecting the Trick or Treat Party - and DLR may decide that, for whatever reason, they don't want to open HalloweenTime in September and would rather start it on October 1st (which is when the TOTP will start). Or, perhaps, they will decide that opening it on 9/17 rather than 9/24 is a good idea. Things are always subject to change, especially as DLR undergoes so many big changes in the next couple of years. But as for right now, I am guessing that 9/24 will be the HalloweenTime start date, and the date that Haunted Mansion Holiday opens.
