Impressive sales once again. Will be very interesting to see what happens with pricing next year - the ceiling clearly has not been close to being reached.

In regards to pricing, I don't think Disney has a ceiling anymore.

There's probably a weight limit to turning you upside down to shake any remaining change out of your pockets!!
Yup. The weight limit is there, with the smaller food portions these days, Disney is also looking after our waistlines.There's probably a weight limit to turning you upside down to shake any remaining change out of your pockets!!

Wanted to retract part of what I said. Turns out they didn't cut out the stage pyro this year. It's still there, it's just that it's been cut from many performances thus far, probably due to the rainy weather on some of the party nights.
The stage pyro are two sets of two comets w/ tails, used in the finale song during "My favorite gift is you! Na na na na na" part. Glad it hasn't been cut unlike the rest of the castle/FL pyro however..
And livestream from last night showing said stage pyro in action.

Steamboat Willie was released November 18th, 1928, and fans celebrate the date as Mickeys Birthday. It would have been nice to get a mention by B.C. & Co. particularly to enhance enthusiasm for the upcoming holiday season and projected MVMCP.

The general lack of anything worth mentioning for Mickey and Minnie's birthday always makes me sad.
Make up a holiday for Star Wars. Make up a holiday for Disney+. Make up a week for the princesses.
But Mickey and Minnie aren't worth it, I guess.

Does anyone know if the pre-parade before MOUACT is new?

Kringle Crew has been the pre parade for YEARS now. Frankly overdue for an update.

At least the imagineers remembered when they built the Mermaid queue. Was it sunny at noon yesterday?

Only happens on Main Street and Town Square so it’s relatively easy to miss

In the past, the castle has had the lights that make it look like icicles hanging. Did they do away with that completely as no videos of the Party has shown that? If so, is that only during the 50th celebration? I really enjoyed how the castle looked.

Castle lights were last seen in 2019. Rumor has it they are gone for good. Projections have replaced them.

Why should they pay more to pack more people into more non-revenue-generating ride vehicles, when they can pack them in to the sidewalks, generating cupcake dollars? Why should they bother even to keep the attractions open. Just shut 'em down. MK has plenty.
How many boats are running in JC these days? We were shocked by @lentesta 's data on this a few months back, and now it's just—ho hum—accepted as normal.
We chuckle knowingly at the WSJ article, but I'll bet we're the only ones reading!

JC is an exception. They have lost several boats to engine problems. It is not.... I'm running less boats because they don't drive revenue.
Space mountain runs with its full allotment of coaster cars as does big thunder. Most the attractions are running up their optimum capacity. There are exceptions such as splash, mountain and jungle cruise. But that is not a reflection of a willful intent to run less ride vehicles because they don't drive revenue.
Honestly that's not a thing.

Is this true for sure? If so, does "optimum" mean "maximum"? Maybe to them "optimum" means "financially optimal."
Just askin'. If the attractions are at full tilt, that's great! What explains, then, the more crowded "feeling" even when numbers are down?

Rats. We really enjoyed the Party when we went, especially the ride lines. However, the lighting of the castle lights and how it looked for the rest of the evening was spectacular.
