As i mentioned once before they do have tickets. Last year i was at a Halloween party where it poured and a ton was cancelled and was able to go to either of the sold out parties during my trip after speaking to city hall

I'm hopeful the combo of cancelled trip due to hurricane and 10th anniversary and the fact that it's my wife's favorite WDW activity will get us some pixie dust - but of course I'm not counting on anything.

They did record totally new lines for Goofy for this year's parade. It is very odd, though, that they didn't bother doing ANYTHING with Mickey and Minnie's float and instead just removed Minnie's lines...didn't even fill the space where they used to be. I get the feeling that was a VERY last minute decision.
I have a feeling that this has to do with the SAG strike. Voice actors are part of SAG, so they have partially restricted activities right now. I'm guessing that if there were plans for some new voice work, this may have been scuttled by the strike.

The people at last night's party were ridiculously lucky. Rain before (or right at the start? Wasn't sure), then a good five hours of dry, then rain again after it ended.

(Cruella even had an umbrella during the second parade and some villains were cut; they must've known they were cutting it close.)

the line to get in to tonight’s party is insane. Triple wrapped back to the ferry. They definitely oversold tonight.
No they didn't.

The entirety of the space in front of MK can't be used as a holding pen like at rope drop. Area needs to left open for people still entering up until 6 AM on a regular ticket or AP, and there needs to be space for people exiting.

MK, on average, has historically had 50K guests throughout the day. If the event is limited to 20K (which isn't crowded at all), for example, then you might have 5K people waiting to get in. That front area can't really hold that many people while leaving part of it unused for party entry (see above).

People have posted here pictures of the entry area packed, but then live vloggers show that the park later in the evening isn't crowded at all.

There's no need to resort to conspiracy theories of overselling.

Let us know how the crowds are tonight around 9p.

The 6pm Tron VQ drop lasted for ~4 mins for tonight's party.

For comparison to the usual 6pm drop during EEH on Wednesday evenings and the last recent party on Tuesday (8/29):

Why so contrary? I was there. Lol. It was as packed as I remember. I suspect guest relations shuffled people to Friday’s party due to the hurricane scare.

Donald and Daisy had a 3 hour wait when the party started. 😳

You made a claim that they oversold based on the line waiting to get in, which others have made with no proof (in fact vlogs proved they were wrong).

However, I apologize that I forgot to account that WDW might have raised the cap to accommodate those affected by the hurricane.

Tho, in my defense, that's not exactly 'overselling.' ;)
