Someone please fact check me, but pretty sure this is the most party nights during Thanksgiving week ever. They used to have no parties that whole week due to “peak holiday attendance”

Block pricing…should never have gotten this far
In the past, yes. Tho, this year, Thanksgiving is on the second to last day of November. And the last full week of November normally gets four Party Nights. There's also one extra Party Night in November this coming year.
In 2022, counting Sunday as the beginning of the week:
- Week of Nov 6: Three nights: Tue, Thur, Fri
- Week of Nov 13: Four nights: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri
- Week of Nov 20: Two nights: Sun, Tue
- None on Thursday, Thanksgiving, only 2 during Thanksgiving Week
- Week of Nov 27: Three nights: Sun, Tue, Thu, Fri
In 2023, counting Sunday as the beginning of the week:
- Week of Nov 5: Two nights: Thu, Fri
- Week of Nov 12: Four nights: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri
- Week of Nov 19: Two nights: Sun, Wed
- None on Thursday, Thanksgiving, only 2 during Thanksgiving Week
- Week of Nov 26: Four nights: Sun, Tue, Thu, Fri
In 2024, counting Sunday as the beginning of the week:
- Week of Nov 3: One night: Fri
- Week of Nov 10: Four nights: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri
- Week of Nov 17: Four nights: Sun, Tue, Thu, Fri
- Week of Nov 24: Four nights: Sun, Tue, Wed, Fri
- None on Thursday, Thanksgiving, 4 during Thanksgiving Week
Are you planning to have park hoppers? I haven’t done this but my favorite blogger says that you want to got MK *on the party day* because it’s much lower crowd levels since it’s a short day— if you have a hopper you can switch to EPCOT or DHS after mid-day break. Same blogger says that MK non-party days are nuts (especially during the times of the year when there are 3+parties a week!) so I vote not 1. Our family would choose 2 over a MK day whether party or non-party day, if we had to choose.

No hoppers this time (and we’re only doing 3 park days so we can’t get the free hopper deal). Good point about busy levels on non-party days at MK; that makes sense.

We have not done parties, but we have gotten a lot done on party days. It was even better with FP+ but it’s still been ok with G+. A mid-afternoon break gets tricky if you have to leave at 6:00 though. And with parties at HS too planning a trip during Christmas time just gets more complicated.
If y'all able to stay up to Midnight, #2.
You get into the parks at 4 PM (It's a mad crush of crowd from 3:30 to 4:15p, so, plan to arrive after 4:15p). So, that's 8 hours in the park.
The fireworks for the Party are really, really good. You don't need to get close to the castle to watch the projections... there are no characters, just graphic designs.
The parade is top notch. Grab a spot in Frontierland (where the parade starts). Go to the second parade, the first gets crowded.
The castle show is skippable unless you have little kids that would like to see Mickey and friends 'live.'
Most rides are walk-ons. Tho, 7 Dwarfs may still be 20 minutes.
Bonus: you're not in the heat of the day.
Tip: get a dining reservation at a monorail resort restaurant for about 2p. Then casually head to MK when done. Touring those resorts Christmas decorations is nice, too.

What is the appeal of Jollywood last year was a hot mess and I don’t see an improvement this year an ice skating show that sea world had for years?
That’s what they took from the feedback from last year…? My event got rained out last year but I’m thankful I got my money back as I bought the tickets well in advance. For those of you who enjoy …that. Enjoy!

You’re blaming them for rain in Florida now?
If that’s what you took from what he said, I don’t know how anyone can help you.

Last year, we rode Seven Dwarfs Mine Train twice back to back with like a 10 minute wait during the party closer to midnight.

Keep your condescension to yourself.
You can’t call an event a hot mess if you didn’t experience it because it got rained out.
That’s like saying you hate a movie you haven’t seen or trashing a ride you haven’t been on.
He said nothing about blaming them for the rain. In fact, he said he was glad rain hit because he got his money back. And you posted that he was blaming them for the rain in Florida. His post had nothing to do with rain in Florida.
