Islands of Adventure during HHN

Will Islands of Adventure stay open late when the party is happening at the studios?

Maybe not late, but last time in 2019, late September, islands stayed open until 9pm, when the studios closed at 5pm. There was a bit of an increase into islands, as those of us wanting to leave the Studios at close, have more park time. Train is very crowded to leave the Studios, by 4 pm. I tend to just stroll out the front and walk to islands, rather than stand in a 45 minute line, even with express, to board train.

I totally agree with this! We tried taking the train once and it was a HUGE mistake. Definitely walk!

In 2019, IOA also added a "Dark Arts" castle show in Hogsmeade and had Death Eaters wandering through the village. I wasn't a huge fan of the show (it was blah IMHO), but the interaction with the Death Eaters was awesome to watch. I hope that Universal brings it back this year.
