Theme park Halloween at every other park kick off is week after Labor Day. I don’t begrudge Disney pushing it back a month, clearly there is a market for it. You won’t catch me ever in Orlando in August anyways.
Halloween Horror Nights starts in August this year.
August 30th (Friday of Labor Day), for context.
I have a feeling we'll all be here in 2038 complaining about how the first MNSSHP is before 4th of July that year. That and that we're out of metamucil and our no good son in law won't bring us anymore.
They didn’t list all of the stations they’ll have. They are just offering more indoors because of how Florida Augusts. Yes, I used August as a verb.
Actually imagine if they had a “Christmas in July” 2 week stretch where they put up the MSUSA decorations, turned on the Christmas Loop, and ran the parade at night and MWCT fireworks for 2 weeks. I wouldn’t make this an extra ticket event, but instead make a bunch of special merch and do it to goose sales in late July which is usually a dead time. They could then transition to Halloween at the end of the event (saving on costs as the holiday crew would already need to be there to put up Halloween) and the parade crew could transition to BTY seamlessly as well.
Speaking of which, no CBJ? I just realized that.
What is ridiculous about scheduling an Halloween party event, you know trick or treating, costumes, something for KIDS, during a time when KIDS are out of school and its the most convenient time for families to take vacation to go to Florida to experience the event?
So apparently it's started the second Friday of August the last several years. That makes it August 9 this year and, yes, August 8 next year if the trend holds. The last time the second Friday of August was August 9 was 2019. Does anyone know the first date of MNSSHP then?
I think it was the 14th or 15th iirc
Leaving aside the BS that Disney shouldn't offer a product that is SO popular that it sells out every single night it is offered, AND leaving aside the inane argument that a kid focused product/event shouldn't be offered at the most convenient time of the year for kids to actually go to the event....
Or maybe even the 16th which would have been the 3rd Friday then. So possibly it was moved up a week afterwards.
How does that really help? Now your having the parties during the time of year when all kids are back in School, which other than locals severely limits anyone's ability to get to a mid week party...unless your taking your kids out of school during the first or second month of the school year, which makes no sense given that you just had 10 weeks of time when the kids were out of school to take your vacations.
