Meet & Greet locations have been hiding in plain sight on the app for a few days now. But no specific characters linked to them yet.

This is definitely an odd year for Halloween merchandise at WDW. In previous years the Halloween Merchandise usually debuted at the start of the week in which there was a Halloween Party.
- In 2019 NSS started on Friday 8/16 and Halloween merchandise dropped at the parks on Monday 8/12.
- In 2020 there was no party or event and the merchandise dropped on Monday 8/17.
- In 2021 Boo Bash started on Tuesday 8/10 and Halloween merchandise dropped on Monday 8/9.
Following that trajectory, Halloween merchandise should have debuted this Monday 8/8, like it did in Disneyland. Instead it dropped today 8/11, the day before NSS.

I prefer this as the scalpers can't swoop in and take all the merch before the parties even start. Then again, but mortally wounding the AP program and raising gate prices, this might not be such a big problem now anyway.

And the merch is out! I love the t-shirt designs this year. I like the way characters are illustrated on all the stuff. The ghost with ears on is very cute.
Have fun Halloween trips everyone!
Where have you seen it?

I expect everything to sell out, more or less. We tend to visit in mid august, so the only thing I try to do is avoid the first night. We did that in 2019 and were stuck behind vloggers with shoulder mounted cameras on rides, asking for the front row. Easier to just avoid that whole situation.

Again the price seems to be a contributing factor here. Why a random Tuesday in September? It’s the last night before another price jump.

Are sales surging or are they offering far less tickets than past years?
If my restaurant seats 200 people and was rarely at capacity, I could remove 100 seats. Suddenly I'm full every night.
I have zero visibility on attendance to parties pre-covid outside of personal experience. Last year the party seemed far less crowded than in 2019 and prior.

Last year was an After-Hours hybrid. It certainly had reduced attendance caps as live vlogging confirmed. Such caps have been said to be anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000.
This year is a full Party Night. So, the attendance may run from 20,000 to 30,000.
For comparison, the pre-pandemic average attendance at MK was 50,000 daily.
