So when can we expect the fall decorations to be up this year?

My guess is July 4th lol I'm just waiting until we get to the day where they take down Christmas and just put fall right back up

I ask because we get there August 18 and wanted to see MK both with and without the Fall/Halloween decorations.

Well if the first party is indeed August 17, then you won’t get that chance unfortunately. They can get most of it up overnight, so I’m guessing they could wait until the 15th or 16th, but they might start earlier.

In speaking to Disney customer service this morning twice I had one person tell me it was a private event and another telling me it was the Halloween party. I get there the 15th for three days and hope it's the party because it will really suck if it's closed for a private party when only there for the three days.

While it could theoretically be a private event on 8/17, there aren’t private events on those five nights in August.

I really hope you are right. It will make my kid go crazy if she gets a surprise Halloween party.

If they are starting it even earlier (insanity)...maybe they have something new up their sleeves. It’s been stale the past years.

I’m sure the only thing new, is a new higher price of admission.

Actually August tix won’t be awful!

October, on the other hand...

Probably wouldn’t be surprised at F&W moving up earlier as well...

It certainly starts by 8/31, apparently the first Friday with the F&W 10 pm close.

That is indeed the first friday with 10pm between now and then

This year it's rumored that the Party firework shows (Hallow Wishes and Holiday Wishes) will be updated significantly to include projections or become an entirely different show.

I've been waiting on this to happen. Even if using the same music and fireworks routine now... projections and a few more special effects (lazers, additional fireworks and lighting, etc.) could add alot to it

It wouldn’t be hard to do and yet they didn’t bother last year. They really should upgrade both if they insist on not showing Happily Ever After on half of the nights during the final 4 months of the year.

I’ve never gone to the parties, so sorry for the kind of ignorant question- can you reserve FP+?

100% agree

No FP, but that being said most rides are walk on or have extremely short lines as people are doing the special meet and greets and other things you can only do at the party.

When we went in the past we booked fast passes for the few hour overlap where they let you in but before the party starts. We would book three. After the party starts, distribution ended.

What time would that be? I’ll be there all day, probably, but my friends are just coming for the party (and 2 of them have never been to WDW, so I’m trying to help them optimize their time).
