Dare we hope that ...

we hope that Halloween and Christmas parties will return even if they must be modified? Now that Food and Wine dates are posted?

I hope you are right, but time will tell. Based on popularity of prior After Hours, I'm actually surprised that we haven't seen those return yet. Selling a decreased capacity park, at short intervals, for an upcharge seems like a no-brainer. I could envision holiday parties that function similar to After Hours: low capacity, specialty treats, themed character cavalcades, event specific merch... perhaps even socially distant meet 'n' greets. Pure speculation... I know nothing.

Len Testa predicted that they will be back on this week’s Disney Dish podcast (he’s the statistician wizard with Touring Plans).

Universal is doing Halloween parties this year, so hopefully Disney can do it.

 

[StuckInKS]

Hope so! We are planning early Oct, but might have to kick it back to late Oct-early Nov to do both parties if they have them.

I've been hoping all that since last year.....gonna hold onto the hope until it happens!

You would think if they can do Food and Wine they can do anything. Not much at the Disney parks gets as crowded as World Showcase during Food and Wine. I guess maybe the crowd in front of the castle during fireworks, but that's for a relatively short time at night.

And while I know there have been complaints about them not limiting the ticket numbers enough with those parties, my understanding is that they're still lower crowds than a normal day at the parks most of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong.
