Last year, the Halloween party began on August 9th, so it appears that Disney may have finally found their ceiling for the start date. The question then becomes how much does Universal match that now that they're finally running HHN in August as well. Personally, I hope it doesn't move any earlier than the last Friday of August (which is already too early IMO) because the longer the event drags on, the more likely that effects break down and scareactors quit midway.
