We went to this years Oct. 30th party and it was also a sold out crowd. So if the crowd bothered you on the sold-out Halloween definetly don't do the 30th either. We felt the crowd seemed to be distrubuted throughout the park and activities and did not mind the crowd. In fact it seemed even more of a festive party b/c of all the people. But I can also see how it would bother some. I do not believe any of the other party dates were sold out if you'll be there for any of the earlier Halloween week ones.
