I guess even if Tiana is open, it'll be VQ and work similar to tron.

since we are starting Halloween parties in summer now, should we be concerned with the M&Ms melting or no?

A quick breakdown:

- 38 dates for the 2024 MNSSHP, same as 2023
- 7 dates in August; 13 dates in September; 18 dates in October
- Ticket prices increase by $10 on the low end, from $109/person in 2023 to $119/person in 2024
- The high end remains at $199/person in 2024
- Start date is the earliest its ever been, besting 2023's opening date by 2 days

Nah. Worry about the Christmas party snow when they start those parties in September.

It is ridiculous.

It's even more ridiculous when they greet you with your trick or treat bag and say "Happy Halloween" and it's not even Labor Day. At least the ghosts are OK wearing white.

It is ridiculous.

I just see it as a good opportunity for those families that otherwise would not be able to go. With my son in band, It's virtually impossible to go anywhere september through october during competition season.

Now? Try the last several years.

What time do people line up to get into the party?

You can get in as early as 4pm. Or, if you're already in the park, look for the stations where CMs are handing out bands.

Curious what this villains roaming the parks situation will be. Could be cool if there are a lot of them, but given their recent track record, I worry it's going to be Jafar and the Queen of Hearts.

For $200 the least they could do is limit capacity massively, but they won't. I remember even just back in 2013 how relatively empty the park was and the cost was so much cheaper. Is a desendants dance party enough to justify a $200 ticket? Even last time I went the lines were kind of long for quite a few rides, years before most were just walk on.

I will never understand people getting upset at someone else celebrating a holiday on a date they think is too early. I see the same nonsense when people dare to put up a Christmas tree on November 1. Why are we upset that someone else is…happy?

And before we go down the “it makes the other parks crowded!” road, I’ve never noticed that impact in August. The parks are dead in August and it’s two nights per week. The parties DO impact crowds elsewhere in October, but that won’t keep them from having parties 4 nights per week then.

What's the Halloween equivalent to Scrooge?

Ha, no.

I don't know. Is that you? No one is forced to go.

 

[lentesta]

It is ridiculous.

The August 9 start of MNSSHP is closer to Memorial Day (74 days) than to Halloween (83 days).

 

[pigglewiggle]

Geez louise, this board has a lot of people who like to yell at people.

It was just a silly joke. It's a fun day, at least for some people.

Yikes.

 

[Ayla]

It is ridiculous.

Agreed.

 

[KrzyKtty]

The reality to the early parks is yes it is early. It is closer to memorial day then halloween. And while I doubt families like mine are the reason why Disney did this, I can't say I don't appreciate that it is early. The last time I got to go to a halloween party was in 2012. The next year my son started kindergarten. School in the south starts early. I am also in a district that has fairly strict truancy rules, So pulling the kids out for a disney vacation during school is generally not easy. You need permission from the school to do it or if you are gone for more than three days in a row they will bring you to court.

So this is the first time in many years we have had the opportunity to allow my daughter to experience what her brother did.

I guess I really don't understand all the negativity. What does it really cost anybody? Plenty of people in my area start decorating their house in fall decor towards the beginning of August when school starts, so maybe it is just not a strange concept to me?
