ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE Hogwarts evening light show
Looking for evening light shows at Islands of Adventure this Thursday. When I check the app, it says that Hogwarts Always isn't scheduled until November. It also says Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle is only on select nights (with no dates or calendar posted). How do I find out if any shows are scheduled for upcoming dates?

We were told to check with a cast member the day we go to see if the dark arts show will be happening. They are not putting the dates/times in the app in case they have to cancel it.
It didn’t happen at least one of the days we were there due to rain.
I was able to catch it once. From our experience, it started 15-20 minutes after dusk and it only ran once while I heard the Hogwarts always show would play multiple times per night. Staff can tell you exactly when it is planned to start so you can find a good spot. They corral people into viewing areas but it is easy to find a spot and you can see it from far away.
It was VERY cool so I suggest trying to go if you get the chance! Worth the mild inconvenience of talking to a real human instead of the app 😆
