Staying for HHN

Hello! We are staying for HHN the first night on Sept. 15. We've done this once in the Finnegan's area & it was so hot and no shade. We won't be able to make it to Finnegan's early enough for a table. Where should we wait that has some shade & maybe a drink cart? We are planning on going to Krustyburger for dinner. Will they be open during that time? If not, what time do they serve food last? Could we eat there right before close then go to a holding area? Thank you so much for any help!!

in the past there have been up to 3 holding areas Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, Hello Kitty (near the front of USF, across from Despicable Me), and Springfield USA. Last year when I was there Springfield was the holding area for AP people, but that was an UOAP event special night and you needed to have signed up for it.

As long as the area is open you should be able to wait there, of the other 2 Finnegan's is the better option, there was no where to sit at Hello Kitty. NY area had more stairways/curbs etc

Thank you so much!!! We will try for Springfield with Finnegan's as a backup.
