I'd assume the park(s) will still be decorated for Halloween. Possibly even add Halloween elements like some character appearances even if no meet & greet. Just no Party.
Sad to see this year pretty much written off.

That’s what I’m hoping for. Weave some elements of the party into the daytime hours. The snack should be a no brainer.

Its an event that is 80% meet and greets, parades, fireworks, and shows. With none of that exactly what were people clamoring to pay for?

Plus the fact that holiday services had to shut down their work

Isn't HHN crazy labor intensive though? Would they run it if they can't pack em in?

From what I can tell it looks like they’re trying. They’re already setting up the tents and starting casting calls. Obviously it can change at any moment but.

maybe they'll do timed tickets - like cruise dinner slots for different houses. Or maybe they figure it's too dark for anyone to see how crowded it is.

This makes sense. There are more interactions and contact compared to most Halloween events.

Oh well. Not a big deal for me but it's sad. I hope that instead of having a "paid party" why can't they just offer what happens in the Halloween party free for regular guests. Trick or treat is definitely a no-no that's why it's cancelled for the year. They still could have a stage show, a modified parade and the special fireworks/projection show of course with social distancing implemented.

This seems increasingly clear with everyday.

Well, it’s not confirmed that’s just what a lot of cms have been hearing. I mean, Florida is seeing a huge jump in cases right now and that really doesn’t help the case for re-opening

Terrible timing for disney
They seem to have zero desire anyway to open...now it’s just days till DVC “ opens” for logistical problems
One of the rumors I had seen was that the ‘scareactor’ numbers would be dramatically reduced this year, and that Universal had made a large investment in ‘special effects‘ to replace the missing talent.
I imagine if they do attempt it, it will have to be at dramatically reduced capacity and a shell of its former self. Disney obviously ran those numbers and decided it wasn’t worth it, but HHN is a much larger piece of Universal’s overall year.

That's the main reason they are cancelling it. For the foreseeable future, there will be no parades or fireworks. Taking those 2 elements out of MNSSHP is taking away the 2 main reasons me and my family go.

Disney changes/updates info almost daily, so who knows, but this will probably stick. Disney is trending to cancel stuff.
On the other hand, it looks like Halloween Horror Nights is ON at Universal Orlando. Folks who have attended this, they are total mobfests, BUT, if they truly limit the MOBS, it may be enjoyable.
Looks like my October trip is in jeopardy, the only reason Disney would cancel this is if they don’t expect firework shows through October. Not having Spectaculars is really my red line, if they aren’t on I don’t think a trip would be worth it.
Im kind of surprised they canceled this entirely, I would have thought they would cancel through Labor Day and hold out hope for the rest of the schedule, but honestly with the way the Florida numbers are climbing I don’t blame them. I also think that this is a signal they are considering pushing back opening the parks.

Fireworks are not the only reason they would cancel this event.
