Once again, you're missing my point. You're right in that it's not good practice saying things will be available and then them not being. However, I'm simply putting across my way of dealing with it. I don't feel that there's any point in expectations until you're there, as we all know Disney have a habit of changing things at the last minute.
Is that a good thing? As I said previously, no, but it's what we deal with. So I let it go and just enjoy what there is, as opposed to what there isn't. The value of the party for me is much to do with the less busy environment and the enhanced entertainment offerings. Yes, they took away some of what was there previously, but there's still plenty to enjoy that isn't there on a normal evening, even just down to seeing people having a blast in their Halloween costumes! So for me, I don't see the point in feeling disappointed. You felt disappointment, and that's fine but I don't see why I should also feel it just because you had an issue with what Disney did here.
Alas, it seems all too often that on this site opinions aren't allowed, and another person tries to tell someone they're wrong. There is no right or wrong as everyone is entitled to what they believe. But going back to the main point, if you can afford it and enjoy that kind of thing, I feel the VSS is a fun event and adds to the enjoyment of the MNSSHP if you let it. I'm not going to comment any further on the thread as I'm just repeating myself.
@Disneymom201 I hope you get to go and enjoy yourself! Have a great vacation!
