Halloween & Christmas Party Dates

[ky.]

My friends and I have the ambitious plan of going to food & wine, MNSSHP and MVMCP (as well as all the other parks) all in 1 trip next year and we have a few questions as we have never been that time of year.

Looking at this years dates for all the parties the last MNSSHP is on November 1st. Is there always a party on that day or is the last one usually halloween night?

How long after the last halloween party is the first christmas party? Again, this years date show a week between the last halloween party and first xmas party. Is that pretty standard?

Finally, does food & wine always go until mid-november?

Thanks

It looks like it varies. They had parties on 11/1 or 11/2 in 2015, 2013, and 2012, but not one in 2014.

Looks like a week is about what it's been for the last few years at least.

This year was longer than historic, but for the last several years it's run through early November.

Just when you plan on something at WDW, be prepared for it to change. A couple of examples:

1. Going in early December to watch the parade filming (Changed to early November this year)
2. Saving for a trip next year to see Osborne lights (Sorry, last year for that)
3. Saving and planning to finally attend a Star Wars Weekend in 2016 (Sorry, cancelled)

You may need to be flexible because you never know what will change in the schedule. Just be flexible and shoot for 2 out of 3 and maybe with some luck, you will get all three.

Halloween is on a Monday too next year so I think that will throw off the first Christmas party date a bit. (We're going 10/28-11/5 or 6 next year and I'm sure we will just miss the first Christmas party).
