I don't think I've seen this question asked in the thread yet and neither my Googling nor chatting with Disney gave me an answer.

Does anyone know what time tickets go on sale tomorrow for hotel guests? I am assuming 7AM?
It has varied, and there has been system issues resulting in delays. I would not expect you to have any availability concerns ordering anytime before general sales begin.

In my experience if you're willing to stand on Main Street closer to the entrance than the hub it won't be that crowded. (For party fireworks, not on a regular night).

Yeah, best advice is to **not** try to order first thing tomorrow morning because you can just about guarantee there will be bugs, crashes, and it will be a frustrating mess. Wait till tomorrow afternoon or evening if you are really excited and must buy tomorrow. No parties will sell out in that timeframe.

I'll wait. My experience is that tickets never sell out on the first day, even if offered to hotel guests first.

Thank you both! Disney has me so conditioned to wake up at 7AM for so many things, it never occurred to me that waiting could be a possibility. :)

I have a credit for a party ticket I bought last year and couldn't use because I was unwell that night. I suppose I'll need to phone them to use that credit and pay any difference.

Oh, I have...and it irritates me every. single. time. When you don't take 8+ day vacations, every party night is impactful.
Even us local AP’ers know better.

But then again, we are the undesirables starting again August, after being begged to come back in June and July for some candy and a magnet

I don't understand people getting annoyed by the early starts. If it's too early for you, book a party closer to Halloween and move on with your life.

The bigger concern for me would be the fact that a lot of people who don't live here aren't aware that August and the first part of September is the rainy season here and it's likely to rain on many of these nights, resulting in canceled shows, parades, and poor visibility for the fireworks.

Every year I see a lot of angry posts from people here and elsewhere from people who are unaware of central Florida's weather patterns that time of year.
I don’t have sympathy for them.

If I’m booking a trip that’s involving hundreds, or in this case over 1k most likely, I’m checking weather patterns, local conditions etc for time of year I plan to visit.

For those concerned about crowds, many posters, including myself, have noted that since the parties have returned in the post-COVID era, they have done a much better job at managing capacity. It was definitely getting out of hand before COVID, but since their return, "sold out" parties have felt far more manageable.

Caveat: I've never attended a party the week of Halloween, so can't speak to crowds on those nights.
Just to be clear, “sold out” is a moving metric that Disney can decide whenever and however it’s “met”
