Just realized I'll be onsite for first weekend of HHN. What to expect?

I'll be in UO for the first weekend of HHN. I didn't realize it started so early. Will daytime crowds be heavier too? (Not personally interested in HHN.)

As a seasonal passholder, this also limits my evening park hours at USF, correct?

You won't see an increase in crowds at the Studios until afternoon both days...the park closes at 5PM for everyone not holding an event ticket for that evening...regardless if you're a passholder or not. IOA usually stays open until 7 or 8PM so you could wander over there for the evening.

Studios will close at 5 but ioa will be open

Switch parks about 4:30

Walk over or use HE

Take in dinner at City Walk after you leave ioa

If the Saturday and Sunday day is great weather, could bring more locals to the parks

(I realize now that passhold status is irrelevant, was just a brain blip.)

Thanks for replies.

My last trip to UO (and first in over a decade) was this past Feb, and the weather was lovely and crowds were manageable. I'm bracing for much higher temps in mid Sept but wasn't sure what crowds would look like.
