Christmas party question about days of the week

[JakeAZ]

I know nobody knows if it's coming back.

I was just curious if there was a usual schedule for days of the week?

We are going Thanksgiving week and are looking to get some tentative park reservations made, but without knowing 1. If the party is coming back and 2. What days it might be on, we are just throwing darts for our MK days.

I know we can hop out of the MK if we start there, but since we are staying at BLT, we'd like to end as many days as possible at the MK.

Thanks

Generally the party does not take place the week of Thanksgiving.
I think its usually the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving and then the Sunday after Thanksgiving Day.

Oh that would be great if that's the way they keep it!

I'm all for paying for After Hours, if it comes back, but the Christmas party really has no appeal to us. From what I hear, they are incredibly crowded now.

Thanks for the info!

It really depends on what your reason for going is.
I go for the overall atmosphere, snow, cookies, hot chocolate, music, and shorter lines for attractions.
I don't care about the shows, parades, and meet n greets which are the parts that tend to be overly crowded with long lines.

Actually it used to be the last one was the Friday before Thanksgiving we had been to a few of those and then it came back the Sunday after.

In 2019 and 2020 (obv 2020 ended up being cancelled) it was the Sunday prior and Sunday after (They had started adding more party dates in recent years due to the popularity).
I had been planning on attending the one on the Sunday prior in 2020

Thanks for the updated info. I had no clue they added the Sun before as well. We last were there in either 2017 or 2018 and I try to keep up with everything on the boards but somehow missed that. We have a trip for that week this year hoping we can still go will have to see what happens with COVID among other things.
We will probably still want to do the Fri party. For the first time are staying at a Universal resort for a few days before 8 days at Disney. Will spend Black Friday at Sea World.
