Nowhere on the app does it say that Tiana's will be open at the party.Yes we should get details any time now. I expect a price bump and the same entertainment lineup as normal.

It was originally on the lineup, they removed it. It will (99.9%) be open at MNSSHPNowhere on the app does it say that Tiana's will be open at the party.

This is why my rule is my last day I shall only attend MK or Epcot, have a wonderful pre party (lightly attended) morning at MK, book a early dinner reservation at a WS resturant and hop over around 1pm and end at Epcot.I like ending my last night at MK but there is a party that night and I'm not going to it. I'd have to change my trip dates in order to go to MK on my last park night and I cannot change my trip dates as I am driving and the trip is sandwiched between my dad's birthday and a wedding.
The November 1 party date seems to be an every-other-year thing. I have no idea why.Surprised they're not doing a party on Nov 1 since it's a Friday this year.
I don't think you've looked at the actual prices... the most expensive HHN ticket is almost 80 dollars less than the equivalent MNSSHP. You'll be paying premium prices for anything in either park when it comes to food or drink so I'm not sure how you figure DIsney is cheaper.Meanwhile, the amount you need to spend at HHN to actually enjoy yourself makes the MNSSHP ticket prices look like pocket change.
Express is necessary in my experience to see everything in one evening. Whereas for MNSSHP, I get my ticket and can do everything I want.I don't think you've looked at the actual prices... the most expensive HHN ticket is almost 80 dollars less than the equivalent MNSSHP.

This is what I am talking about when it comes to value and what you want to do. You could easily see the show and do a few houses and prioritize most of the rides with reasonable waits at horror nights and do still more "new" things than at magic kingdom without express, but people who go to horror nights tend to want to do all the houses and people at Disney value the same rides as a key part of what they are paying for less lines to do.Express is necessary in my experience to see everything in one evening.

So HHN in August would be $1100 for my family of four. MNSSHP the same night (8/30) is $500.
It’s how they are marketed. HHN markets the haunts. MNSSHP markets the special entertainment, characters, and rides with short waits.This is what I am talking about when it comes to value and what you want to do.

Didn't need it when we were their at an early night in the past... if you go late like Halloween then yes you would need it... but if you did Halloween it would still be cheaper at HHN even with the express pass than it would at MNSSHP.Express is necessary in my experience to see everything in one evening.

Yes but the Hub does get busy and the ideal spot for all 3 will differ. Gotta decide what you want the best view of.For those of you who have been before, would it make sense to hang out in the hub area and see the 10pm fireworks, 10:40 villain show and then 11:15 parade? Or would there be too much wasted time in between? View attachment 784353
So what I did last year is got a spot right up against the castle for the 9:05 show at about 8ish. Watched the parade from there( not the best view, but you can see it). Then as soon as the show was over I moved back a little and got a seat on a ledge in front of the castle for the fireworks.For those of you who have been before, would it make sense to hang out in the hub area and see the 10pm fireworks, 10:40 villain show and then 11:15 parade?

They changed up the schedule this year, it used to be 8:30 Spelltacular, 9:15 BTY, and 10pm Fireworks. Which is what I would usually do. If you do the last parade in the hub, that’s pretty much the end of your night and I much prefer to ride at the end. I personally would find a hub spot for the 8:15 parade, pivot for the 9:05 Spelltacular, then fireworks. After fireworks is usually when I do Pirates, Tiana, BTMRR, HM, maybe PPF if I have time, then SDMT and rewatch the Spelltacular at midnight.For those of you who have been before, would it make sense to hang out in the hub area and see the 10pm fireworks, 10:40 villain show and then 11:15 parade?

I always do the 11:15 parade, followed by the midnight Hocus Pocus. Watching the last Hocus Pocus show gives the crowds time to thin out a bit, making for an expedited departure. If you don't mind watching the parade from Town Square you can almost always get a very good spot just a few minutes before the parade starts (and it doesn't make it to Town Square until about 11:30 anyway), so I use the time between the fireworks and that parade to collect some candy, usually from Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.For those of you who have been before, would it make sense to hang out in the hub area and see the 10pm fireworks, 10:40 villain show and then 11:15 parade?

Certainly doable, but keep in mind that the Villain spectacular goes down frequently enough to pyro issues and a caredfully planned night can get wrecked easily. I say this anecdotally, but two years in a row we had the show stopped after just a few minutes when a cue got missed and they walked off stage. Having a show at midnight after the parade is a good last option though if you planned for something earlier. I just won't assume anymore that I can wait for that last show. My kid would kill me if we don't see Oogie's shenanigans.For those of you who have been before, would it make sense to hang out in the hub area and see the 10pm fireworks, 10:40 villain show and then 11:15 parade?

To be fair to UOR, F&F is pretty spectacularly bad. Rode it for the first time with my family a few weeks ago and holy moly, that might legitimately be the worst amusement park attraction we've ever been on.They don't close F&F specifically for HHN, never had until this year which is probably just a cost-cutting measure. They still operated it during HHN season.
Minions is a rather long experience in a tight space. Don't think any additional Sq. Ft. would have added to the experience.
Eh, I'd say it's pretty likely that the "sold out" parties last year had different capacities. Here's the thrill-data average wait times by party:In the post-COVID party nights, the sold out crowds look the same every sold-out event. It's not like some sold-out night has twice the number of people as another sold-out night.
