Yesterday, dnamertz was asking how fast the MHP tickets sold out.
This will not answer that question exactly, but I dug up a thread to show you all just for reference/example.
dnamertz-- I looked this up specifically for you, so I hope you are reading along!
In this thread from last year -
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3005838 - you will see that as of 10/10/12 (when the OP started the thread) all of the MHP nights were sold out except for 10/29 and 10/31. I think most of them sold out before October, but some sold out faster than others.
Now, to be honest, I could have sworn that Halloween night sold out faster and sooner than October! Maybe Kristin will recall, but it could be that Halloween night sold out early on, then Disney released extra tickets for that night since it was Halloween -- and maybe it opened back up. I'm not sure. I don't recall Halloween night being open as late as October 10, but who knows?
But, as I have mentioned in the past, all of the nights did eventually sell out, with the 10/29 night staying open the longest. I believe that 10/29 sold out at the last minute.
There is another thread I am trying to find from last year in which a bunch of us were commenting on the speed at which the MHP nights were selling out (I specifically recall Mary Jo making a comment about it) but I don't recall the name of the thread so I cannot find it as easily! This is one of the problems with too many threads popping up on one basic topic -- it's hard to track things down for reference a year later when I don't recall which specific thread the thing I am looking for was in!
This year, since there are 13 parties maybe they will not all sell out. Perhaps a couple of them will remain open. I think a lot of the sell-outs in 2012 had to do with: 1) the newness and novelty of seeing Cars Land and Buena Vista Street, and the fact that people who were already visiting DCA for those reasons decided to add the Halloween party onto their trips; and 2) the Villains factor -- the fact that the Villains were made to be more exclusive last year, and not as available in the daytime, while they were very prominent at the MHP.
This year there could be different factors that weigh in to either make the parties sell out or not sell out.
), so I had to go for the second MHP night instead. But in general, the ticket sales were slower in 2011 and faster in 2012, for sure! I remember that last year some of us were taken by surprise at how quickly some of the nights were selling out.
thank you xx
