Actually im not suprised. Pop century was sold out along with all the all stars resorts. Im sure its because everyone is planning on going to magic kingdom for the 40th anniversary so they figured they would go to MNSSHP the night before. If I had kids I would bring them to it the same time.

I am not surprised either with d40 next day plus this was the last day cms were able to get tickets (which hasn't happen in the past, I know because I have friends whom work other parks, Oct is when they have days off to go and couldn't get tickets when they usually would go) and dvc members get in on a cheaper rate bc in Oct. there is a raise in price.
As always thanks for keeping us informed WDWMAGIC!

Unfortunately no...we were short one ticket for our group for tomorrow night, and my wife wasn't able to get a ticket today and she's a CM....
We have an extra ticket for tonight we would be willing to sell. I will PM you with my other half's cell # if you are interested give a call.

It is indeed a busy weekend at the world. Pop is crowded and we are heading to MNSSHP in about 20 minutes. It might take awhile as the line is long for the bus. Food and Wine started yesterday and was also quite busy. Today the weather is beautiful and is supposed to continue for the next week. Yay!
Gotta go get our costumes on!!:sohappy:

We went to this last night, had the tickets for well over a month and it was CRAZY crowded. Wished we'd pick a different night that wasn't so busy but we were told Disney sells a limited number of tickets to these events, I don't think Disney is being honest about not selling as many tickets though.... As season pass holders this was just a waste of money because of the crowds. We've been at Christmas and it wasn't as busy! Today we went to Epcot because Touring Plans rated it a 1.1 out of 10.... just not so, should have been rated at least an 8, 90 minute wait for Test Track and 30+ minute lines at the food carts. Just be aware you can't trust Touring Plans when they rate a park or Disney when they say they only sell so many tickets, plan accordingly! Again, as locals we can just go home but if you are on vacation these excessive crowds can really put a damper on your plans.

Wow it is a bad day when you can buy a car, complete the paperwork and drive off the lot quicker than riding test track. It seems like there are a lot of folks not happy with the "limited" crowds at NSSHP last night. Disney might want to do a bit more limiting.

We are the ones that will be doing the limiting....just not going again! When I think about paying over 100.00 (after paying a couple thousand) to stand in long lines for a little bit of candy, I feel really stupid.
I know that I willingly paid for and went to the party, so I cannot blame Disney for a good marketing job.

I agree with you. I have my ticket from 2007 and the price for the party was only $38.95. I usually go every year, and did so last Tuesday (9/27). Between the crowds and the huge price increase I don't think I will shell out the extra money to go again.

I agree with the "limited amount of tickets available" BS. That place was super crowded on both Tuesday's and Friday's event, with Friday being worse. Well over an hour and a half line for the seven dwarfs, glad we got in line early, only 1/2 hour for us. Most rides were walk on or 15 minute waits, but meet and greet lines were crazy. Both parades both nights were jam packed. Who said the later parade is less crowded...WRONG! If rides and free candy are worth 50+ additional dollars per person to you, then go for it. I won't do it again, was expecting a much more intimate atmosphere and it reminded us of July/August.

Maybe it's me, but outside of the parade I didn't find the place to be too crowded. I rode a good amount of attractions and the longest wait I had was 10 minutes for Haunted Mansion. The trick or treat lines weren't bad and moved extremely fast. Was my first party, but I thought that it was a good time.

I didn't think it was bad, either. Walked right on Haunted Mansion, took a few spins around the park, and didn't wait more than 5-10 minutes for anything.
Actually, the longest lines I noticed were for candy :lol:

I am not sure we will be going back either. The parks were extremely crowded. Candy lines had an average wait of 5-10 minutes, rides 10-20 minutes and characters where 30-40 minutes.
We also noticed less characters than in the past. All told we managed to see about 6 characters, 5 candy stops, and two rides. Along with the last parade and castle show.
We also arrived at 8pm and noticed that the park was still filled with regular guests. Maybe next time we just don't buy a ticket.

10 to 20 minute waits is not that bad at all. Most people come to the parties to see the characters because they are rare. I know when I went to the party on September 23 we waited about 30 minutes for the 7 Dwarfs and that was at 11 pm.
At 7 pm as soon as the Ghost Host comes over the loud speakers we start checking for wrist bands and guests are forced to the front of the park to exit. If they are in a store before 7 then they can stay until they finish browsing and purchasing whatever they want. Once they leave the store they can't go into any other store. I know it usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes just to clear Fantasyland so I could see how guests could still be on Main Street after 8 pm. If you don't have a ticket though you will have to leave the park.

So glad I went on Sunday night. DH & I had a blast.
CM's were escorting guests out right @ 7pm!! I thought they were doing a fabulous job.
10 min wait for Space Mountain ... all night!
NO LINES for candy except 1 ... we skipped it.
5 min wait for Mickey :sohappy:
Go on Sunday nights ... local/kids have school in the am so NO crowds
