Oh, I know there is no stopping the August party train. It's still wrong to have Halloween parties 2+ months before the actual date. I personally thought August was a bridge too far, but people kept buying party tickets so here we are. I'm sure everyone will be fine with them when they eventually start at the end of July, right?
lowes already has halloween stuff out

But why is it “wrong”?

Because you say so? Of course, I think the “turkey before tree” folks are wrong, too. I say, “do what makes you happy” when it comes to holiday decor, of all things.

So 5 dates are sold out so far, which compares to 3 being sold out by Aug 3rd last year

So either selling more/faster this year or the caps are lower

BUT so far only really th "cheapest" nights ... So could also be people migrating to those not more total tickets sold so far

It's wrong because you say so? I didn't realize you wrote the book on whats right and wrong.

I mean obviously most consumers agree with you, considering Disney keeps offering the parties starting in August, but every time no one buys them and the parks are empty those nights.

And surely it must say somewhere its totally wrong to offer Halloween parties, a kids event, during a time when kids are out of school, you know so they can actually go to them.

WDW is a destination vacation for most. I can understand locals not wanting Halloween in August, but they can go anytime, so just don't go in August. Why shouldn't they offer parties longer for people that can't be there EXACTLY in October or whatever? I guess I just don't think it's a big deal.

Hey our night is still holding strong, but I think it will be the next one to fall sadly. But it is the last one left at the lowest price point. Hopefully that's a good indicator for crowds that week.

All the Floridians I see online are whining about the heat, anyway. Why would they be in the parks?

It looks like we can go on the 29th, possibly on September 1 but that’s not as easy. I really only want to go for the after hours experience because the actual after hours events end a few days before we arrive. Halloween stuff is a bonus, but generally don’t do candy with a diabetic in the party. (Sorry, Werther’s kinda doesn’t count lol.)

But MK at night with low wait times, ignoring the parades and what not - that’s worth $109.

We’ll see.

My problem isn’t the holiday but they should find a way to not kick out day guests. The new Christmas offering at Hollywood Studios seems to be fixing this mistake, by allowing the day guests to still see Fantasmic, etc. But two nights a week to make MK fireworks inaccessible to people taking summer vacations kinda sucks.

Because people have expanded the view of damn near everything to “well, it’s ok, it doesn’t really bother me and it makes you happy so it’s fine”. People need to relearn how to have some standards and a backbone. Turkey before tree is still apt and appropriate. Why not Christmas in April? Valentines in October? St Patrick’s in August? “It’s ok, it doesn’t bother me, and it makes you happy so it’s fine.”

people need to have more backbone to tell other people they are wrong for being happy?
