I know for a fact in 2016 and 2017, they didn't sign, and they handed out pre-signed cards. Not sure if they are using the cards this year, or this they are actually signing autographs.

That would be nice. It's doubtful they'd ever do that but that would be nice. I'm still shocked guests are actually demanding better. That's encouraging.
Although I feel like they could do more with Halloween at DHS to spread around the love. But DHS has such a nice Christmas atmosphere I'm good with no Halloween. Shame they mishandled the Villains thing twice.

I waited 10 minutes last year.
Do we have any informed ( or just a good guess) as to how many tickets Disney is selling for these?
We think it’s in the region of 20000 - 25000

Have you considered paying Kenny The Pirate to wait in line for you?

Don't you just love being able to watch fireworks with your two favorite characters?

Got a survey for attending MVMCP. Some responses based on how unpleasantly crowded it was this year...
That blank says: Crowds. I expected less because of the implicit bargain that the extra price bought reduced crowds.

I think being that they don't have much time to offer Christmas party dates compared to the Halloween party these parties usually crowd out more, IMO I would rather attend 6 Halloween parties compared to 1 Christmas party since I think the Halloween parties are better due to the parade and stage show (not to fond on Hallowishes, Holiday Wishes is the only reason I attend Xmas parties and also free cookies)
Speaking of fireworks, I don't think it would be great to make HEA the party fireworks, the main reason people buy tickets to these parties is for the SPECIAL entertainment offerings that they don't offer on a regular park day (except the time between the last party and NYE) I would love to see an updated Hallowishes & Holiday Wishes with projections as both shows are still ok in my book, hell Disneyland's Christmas fireworks show is almost 20 years old and it's STILL running year after year and they just added protections to it a few years back. I'm more than sure new party shows are in the works for both parties, when will we see them? Probably not till the 50th but we'll just have to wait and see.

It certainly seemed like the crowds were better a few years ago. To my knowledge, when I went to the party in 2016, the rides were fairly easy to get on, and there were no gigantic crowds everywhere. And I compare it this year to my 2018 party, where my experience was kind of the opposite (ride wait times somewhat the same, same crowds you'd expect on a busy night), but still very enjoyable!
I think people started to wake up when they realized this was THE event to go to for short waits.

We went to this in the second week of November this year on a Tuesday evening. Wait times were basically nonexistent, with even Pan being a ten minute wait. I figured that we went early enough that the parties weren't selling too strongly and also figured that post-Thanksgiving the crowds would pick up.
