or its everyone thinking August 16 was going to be less crowded than the first night.Aug 16 seems like a random day to be the 2nd night to sell out, is there some event or convention elsewhere in town bringing in crowds?

Here’s hoping attendance is actually capped at a reasonable level.Exactly that for us. Booked 16th to avoid the first party when we were expecting it to be insane crowds.
Not thrilled tbh
This is my first party and the first time my BFF has been to WDW. We're going on August 30th and doing the exact same thing. Praying that the day crowds are low so we can get as much done in the MK during the day leaving us plenty of time during the party to do M&G's, entertainment, etc. An extra hour gives us so much more breathing room.I'm following the strategy of being a day guest at MK when MNSSHP is that night on the theory that there are fewer crowds in MK when a party is that night. So I plan to take advantage of this.
I’m splitting my days between party and day at MK. I have the Pixie Dust pass so can’t do weekends. I bought a separate party ticket for a Sunday night however. Going back as a day guest on the following Tuesday then plan on hanging out in the monorail resorts for a few hours before CG dinner at 9:30. I can then watch the MNSSHP fireworks from there at 10:15.This is my first party and the first time my BFF has been to WDW. We're going on August 30th and doing the exact same thing.

One thing's for certain, there will be lots more cranky, costumed children crying in the August heat than you'll see in October!It’s cheaper than August 12, so it’s the first party of the year at the lowest price point.
It’ll also have far fewer vlogger types at it than the August 12 party.
I still refuse to wear anything that does not breathe well in the heat and we go in October. I could not imagine wearing a costume in the August humid heat.One thing's for certain, there will be lots more cranky, costumed children crying in the August heat than you'll see in October!

Our plan is to hope they’re selling Halloween themed shirts before the first party so we can scoop some up for the second party.I still refuse to wear anything that does not breathe well in the heat and we go in October. I could not imagine wearing a costume in the August humid heat.I am going as Fred Flintstone and my wife as Wilma and that is as dressed up in a costume as I plan on getting. We went as prisoners (full long sleeved black and white striped outfits) once and my son went as a police officer escorting us and it was miserable hot.
The annual Epcot Pin Event is Aug 12-13th, so there will be quite a few people doing that who planned their vacation to hit this party since it is cheaper than the 1st one and less blogger presence. That event isn't big enough on it's own, but it's probably a 1000+ "bonus" that other nights in August wouldn't have. But it's probably a combo of price + schoolAug 16 seems like a random day to be the 2nd night to sell out, is there some event or convention elsewhere in town bringing in crowds?
I guess they have to make it up by charging the general public more to make up for all the free passes they're giving away to their social media flunkies.It’ll also have far fewer vlogger types at it than the August 12 party.
