When I was at the Party this past Sunday night, I saw some folks carrying around those ‘Nightmare’ popcorn buckets.
I noticed them because that were lit up, glowing red, which I thought was a cool touch.

I read somewhere that these were gone by the Tuesday night party.
Not sure how true that is, but if these are now being said to be officially sold out for the season then that is amazing.
A shame for those who have yet to have been to the Party this year, however.

It is frustrating that those who pay more for tickets (the later the date the more expensive the ticket) get less access to merch. I was under the impression that WDW was capping merch sales/stock per party but this must not mean popcorn buckets… womp.

The 6pm Tron VQ drop lasted for ~25 mins for tonight's party.

For comparison to the usual 6pm drop during EEH on Wednesday evenings and the last recent parties on Tuesday (9/12) and Friday (9/15):

Any reason as to why the drops are kinda long now? I mean before they were out in seconds.

Possibly locals who were using the party nights as a low crowd night. Since the prices are ramping up quickly, the mix is probably increasingly towards people who are there specifically for the party.

Sorry if this has been asked, but are the sold out nights more manageable than they were precovid? I remember attending a party in 2019 and vowing to never return.

Yes, definitely not as packed at pre-covid, very similar to last year. Trade off is higher cost but they do seem to be capping it to a more manageable/reasonable number

I went to the party on August 29th of this year and it was great. Outside of waiting an hour for a picture with the seven dwarfs, everything felt pretty non-overcrowded. Even going to see the parade at the last second in Frontierland, I was able to travel on the sidewalk pretty easily and was only about 3 or 4 people back when I stopped to watch. Got in and out of Tron in 20 minutes. Lines were generally short. I dunno if they let it get more crowded as it gets closer to Halloween, but assuming that's not the case, I'd say if you're leaning towards going, it's worth it.

I can relate. We went to Mickey's Christmas Party in 2018 and I vowed never again after that overcrowded mess. However, I've been reading that the parks are not as packed like that anymore for these special events.

I will find out in 3 more days. My wife and I have tickets to the MNSSHP for the 24th. I will give a full report on here and my opinion of how things compared to what we experienced 5 years ago. Look for a couple dressed as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell walking around this coming Sunday if anyone else on the forum will be there and stop us and say hi. :)
