That day is a Tuesday. The park is opening for special ticketed event at 7:45am. The park is closing at 6pm that night, anyone know why? Doubtful it's for MNSSHP.

The party is also that Friday the 24th. Is it usual for them to run it twice a week?
3 or 4 times a week is typical.
First MNSSHP that evening.

They are doing night time activities, as stated above it's for the Halloween Party. That'll run from 7pm, so I believe the non-party ticket holders have from 6pm to 7pm to exit the park.

For the Halloween party? Go search for the MNSSHP tickets 2017 and it'll give you the price from last year. I'd say add a few bucks on, but the August parties are "normally" the "cheaper" ones. The closer you got to Halloween itself, the prices obviously increased.

So has anyone questioned why they're starting those so early this year? Aside from the cash grab that they are, I'm gonna go with the idea that lots of parents are/have complained that they couldn't get their kids out of school and Disney is responding to that.
Yes, many people have.
I don't think this is because parents complained that they wanted to have Halloween for their kids 2 1/2 months early. Remember - Nothing says, "Halloween!!!" like mid-August Florida heat... This is all about
2016 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party - $72.00 adult/$67.00 child - Advance Purchase Price for September 2, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 25
2017 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party - $74.00 adult/$69.00 child - Advance Purchase Price for August 25, 29, September 1, 7, 10, 12, 17, 24
Guessing $77/person this year.

People may not complain, but the August parties did quite well last year. Exceeded expectations. I wonder if Food and Wine will move up a week, too.Yes, many people have.

To be fair, it's usually about 91 degrees for late August and 90 degrees in late September. What does weather have to do with anything? Florida is hot. Much of the country now pulls out scarecrows and hayrides in August. If there is demand, Disney might as well supply.

There is a house in my neighborhood that, I believe, still has scarecrows and straw bales decorating it. Let's just celebrate all year!

So it begins, selling the MK park in slices. There is a reason greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.
Right now corporate greed on Disney's part is destroying the customer experience.
A colleague of mine who has taken his 4 kids (2 from first and second set from second wife) to WDW every year gave up after last years crowds because daughters 8&9 y/o were not having fun in the massive crowds.
This year its UNI and Discovery Cove and a day at AK and an airboat charter
The takeaway of course is Disney is alienating long term fans who happen to be in their most valuable demographic. People with money EXPECT a superior level of product and Disney now is a subpar product with a premium price

I don't like that more MNSSH parties equals fewer offerings of and, more crowded offering of, the free nighttime entertainment at MK.
