Mnsshp 2012

[jtlover]

Trying to work out the dates compared to the last 2 years. If the kept to the same it would be September 11th that is the first date for the above but assume they won't start on that date.

What are others opinions on this.

In 2008 we went on 5th or 8th sept

Your theory is as good as any.

When do they normally release the dates? I can't remember when I booked it last year.

Last year the dates were announced for both MNSSHP and MVMCP on 1st May. You can't really do more than make an educated guess about what they'll be. Some years you can see a pattern to these things and then Disney will throw in a curve ball.

They have that musical festival now so it cant be that early, unfortunately

I know it's still an educated guess, but if it's any help, TouringPlans estimate the dates for Sept 2012 as:

7-8 Sept - Night of Joy

MNSSHP on:

11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28 & 30 Sept

If you're planning a Sept. trip, I've done some research and found the days of the week for the party are historically the same, I think they may be different in Oct. though.

Were that the case it would certainly make planning a lot easier, but sadly it's not. In 2008, the parties started on the first Friday in September (so very near the beginning of the month) and were held every Friday and Tuesday that month, with a random Sunday thrown in. In 2009, they again started on the first Friday and followed the Tuesday/Friday pattern, but with one skipped Tuesday. In 2010 they didn't start until the second Tuesday (mid month) and there were no Friday dates at all (3 Tuesdays, 2 Thursdays, 2 Saturdays). 2011 saw a return to the the Tuesday/Friday format, but again not starting until the second Tuesday.

There are some patterns. There's always a party on Halloween itself, and always a party on the second Monday of October (Columbus Day). There are no Wednesday parties. In October, at least, I suspect they start with the two fixed dates and work around that. No doubt someone with some time on their hands could work out the formula. This year, though, Halloween falls on a Wednesday so I wonder whether that will throw things out?

I don't know how this will work out but while planning our Sept 29-October4trip, I looked at which days the Magic Kingdom is closing early. Looks like only one day during my timeframe on the 30th.
