Nobody can truly know until Disney announces party dates. Food and Wine dates changed greatly in 2024 so since then I'm less comfortable saying what they've done in the past hints towards what they will do in the future.
When MNSSHP came back in 2022 it started on the second Friday of the month. This year it switched to the third Friday but I agree that it will probably start on the 14th.
We have gone in August the last three years. This (2025) was the first year they did Sunday parties in August. Before (2024) it was Fridays and Tuesdays in August, then Sundays added in September. The change was to give an extra full week of the new starlight parade.
No way to know if they will stick with three days in August starting on the 14th, or go with the earliest ever start (to my knowledge) on Aug 7 with two parties a week. Or rake in even more money with three parties a week starting Aug 7. My travel plans are hoping for a Sunday party in August.
