Interesting. And if true, oh so cheeky.

Personally, I think he's over analyzing it. My opinion is the issue has resulted from the fact that the preliminary view of the first week of September was based on a date to date comparison from last year. The problem there is, Labour Day was on Sept 1 last year and this year it is on Sept 7. That is almost a full week difference when comparing week to week. Last year there was a party on Sept 1st, so it got assumed for the same date, even though that date last year was the holiday and this year it's a week before the holiday.

I think the more prudent comparison is to take the week before Labour day last year (Aug 24 - 31) and then map that to the same week leading to Labour Day this year (Aug 30 - Sept 6). I'm betting on a revised calendar coming out that will have hours for the Aug 30 - Sept 6 dates this year looking pretty much the same as Aug 24 - Aug 31 last year. This is the week we travel there and that's how I've based my planning. Of course, I have made the Sept 1 my most flexible day, juuuuuust in case I get lucky and a party lands on that night. Time will tell!

You're making it sound like you think Josh made up the preliminary calendar he posted for September, rather than having gone by the travel agents calendar, which came from Disney themselves.

got to go check it out - we're going after Labor Day - my faith in Josh is unshakeable!

Sorry, no, that's not what I was trying to imply. I assumed people would know by preliminary calendar, I was referring to the TA one.

I just don't see how they can have a Halloween party before Labor Day. I'm sticking with that.

I tend to agree, it's a bit early. Although selfishly I would like it so I could go to one. Last year they did do the Labour Day Monday. And when I looked back to 2009 (last time labour day was on the 7th), they had one on the Friday night. That tidbit of info was actually what got my hopes up this year.
