Tonight's party is sold out. The crowds are wall to wall. Late parade was 5 rows deep of people. Waiting for the villians show and the park is still packed solid. We're having a good time, but I am very surprised that it sold out tonight.
 
I am SOOO glad I changed our mind to last week for our first party when I realized it was AP discount night last week.

I know it sounded like the world was going to be there from all the folks on the DIS that said they were going! I am surprised it is sold out as well!

I hope you had lots more "pixie dust" bestowed upon your family during the rest of your trip - I read through your report quickly! Sounds like a good week - sorry your DD had a migraine.

Are you leaving for home tomorrow?
 
We'll be there next Friday night. That isn't an AP discount night, but it is Fri of Columbus Day weekend. I hope it isn't as crowded, but it probably will be! Last year it rained on the night we went, but we had fun anyway.

Bottom line- as long as we are there, who cares!

Yuck... I hate to hear about capacity crowds at MNSSHP this early. I am maintaining my little dream about small crowds when I am there in late October
 

Well, I'm still holding some hope that the crowds wont be so bad when we're there on the 5th! It's a Thursday night...

We leave for the World tomorrow... I can't wait! :cool1:
 
Wow, that's unreal!

This party last year was the first of the season and it certainlly wasn't sold out. Most reported that it was quite manageable. I guess it's word of mouth spreading about the parties (via the DIS) and also free dining.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Anyone think that being a Friday night and free dining has something to do with the crowds? I'm hoping that mid-Oct won't be too bad, especially if I go on a Monday night!!!
 
Here's crossing my fingers that the 17th a tues won't be to bad :teeth: . How is the weather hot,muggy,warm,ok

We will be there next friday night too. We always go the friday of Columbus Day weekend. Hope it isnt as hot and humid as it was last year.
 
Not sure about anywhere else. But in South Florida (miami, ft lauderdale, and palm beach) the kids are out of school on Monday.
 
Not sure but I'm pretty sure that there is NO MNSSP on Friday October 13, 2006. There is one on Thrusday October 12, 2006 though. FYI for all you out of State/town people. Most of the schools are out that Friday 10-13-06 and some are out Monday 10-16-06 as well. In my own experience going over when there is no school WDW is packed due to the locals. The hotels are not packed but the parks are. My daughter's birthday is over that weekend and we alway's end up over there on this same weekend due there being a 4 day weekend and the MNSSP. We went to the MNSSP last Friday 9-22-06 and had a WONDERFUL time. We walked on to every ride that we rode with no wait and was actually asked if we wanted to stay on a ride because there was nobody else in line. Though there were long lines for the candy, face painting and LONG, LONG lines to meet the characters. We started in Toontown and just took our time, no plan of attack, no stress. We promised ourselves that we would NOT get stressed. Our family really needed some down time so we never let ourselves get worked up about lines or RUDE people, and yes they were there too. We just took it moment by moment, ride by ride and had a FABULOUS time. This was our 4th and BEST time to MNSSP. I will be going back with my DD'S in October with a friend and her 2 girls and I hope to have just as much FUN. And take more pictures, I alway's forget to take pictures? I have gotten way off the path/thead here...if you were planning on going Friday 10-13-06 I would double check with Disney as there is no party listed for that date.
 
We're going Halloween Night. I don't even want to think about what that will be like :scared1:
 
We're going on 10/24. It's a Tuesday, so I hope it isn't so busy. Our plan is to take our time walking around just seeing the changes at the MK and enjoying the parade and fireworks.

We go in off season, and didn't have trouble. All the rides were walk ons, and the second parade was not crowded. We found "this is to good to be true" parade spots ten minutes before.
I don't know what you mean by huge crowds. :confused3 The only crowded and horribly organized thing was Happy Hallowishes. They should have used music to speed everyone up.
 
My guess is it's the free dining, plus a lot of kids in FL have a 3-4 day weekend this weekend.
My son has an extra two days off for Yom Kippur and Teacher duty day. Everyone I talked to this week said they were heading to Disney.
We decided to go to Sea World, but wait until Sunday to go.

I'll be there on the 5th as well Ali ! We had a choice of Thurs or Fri and I went with Thurs because I was thinking Fri might be a bit more crowded. Here's hoping for nice weather on Oct 5 !
 
We'll be there 10/10. Any sites have "touring plans" for rides for MNSSHP? I'd like to take advantage of the low lines for rides, and see the most that we can.
