I just cringe when I see August dates for HALLOWEEN!!!

We were at WDW the last week of August last year and parties were already going on and the park was decorated for Halloween

My kids don’t go back to school until after Labor Day so really was hard to get in the “Halloween Spirit” when we were heavy in “summer vacation spirit”

But I know others can never wait for Halloween to come so more power to them I guess

Wow! $135 for October 31. That's almost $150 a ticket when you add tax.

Who doesn't plan for Halloween in January, right? Ugh. This is crazy early. Even by Disney standards.

Yeah... this is probably going to sound silly, but I’m disappointed because our summer trip begins Aug 16! I’d rather have at least part of a SUMMER trip without HALLOWEEN decorations... Not to mention early MK closures during August... not great. Maybe I’ll see if I can shift earlier.

Last year our trip ended Aug 17 and I believe the first party was that night. Pretty recent that it’s this early though. I wish I had remembered this when I booked for this year. :-/

Honestly I'd go with it. Having those early closing times is the easiest way to pick a lower crowd day in the MK.

And I get that it's crazy early to start the party. But they've done late August before. But this is way earlier than usual to start selling the tickets.

That doesn’t sound silly at all! Who wants Halloween decorations in their SUMMER vacation pictures? And I also resent the early park closures for MNSSHP and for MVMCP. But, obviously, the parties are a cash cow for WDW. Sigh.

See I'm the opposite. I love that they released Free Dining early, and now Halloween tickets early. I'm going in September and I am glad I don't need to guess on party dates before I do my ADRs and pick which park I want for the day.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

They have done 11/1 parties before. We have done trips where we went to the last MNSSHP & first MVMCP in the same trip.

Nov 1st parties are typical if that day falls on a traditional party day of the week. The only time we did MNSSHP, We went to an 11/1 party.

The pricing for the party at least didn't see huge increases. Perhaps they are finally finding the line on that one. They've shifted some of the pricing, though. If you want to go in October, there's only one day now that's less than $100. Last year I believe at least half of the dates were less than $100. Biggest gain was the 10/3 date. Last year that same day would have run $89, this year its $105. The rest were about $5-$10 gains.

Full Details on the Star Wars Rise of the Resistance ride coming to Disney Parks

Lots of new information regarding storyline, queue and physical sets from attractions magazine

Thanks for sharing. This is the ride I'm most excited for. I'm still leery of the falcon.

im actually happy they released them early in organizing a large trip the end of August and this confirms what days I should do MK. I woulf have hated to have made ADRs to find out it was a party night and then not be able to move said ADR.

See I'm the opposite. I love that they released Free Dining early, and now Halloween tickets early. I'm going in September and I am glad I don't need to guess on party dates before I do my ADRs and pick which park I want for the day.

This is how I feel.

It's funny in that, while I am really, really excited for Rise of the Resistance, I feel like I *know* it will be really good - but the Falcon ride I think *could* be amazing and have tons of re-rideability and just sort of be a game changer for the simulation type ride with it being dynamically rendered - but it also could not work well and be a bit of a disappointment

thanks for this - to be honest parties haven't been on my radar in the past and was typically not a time when we could go to WDW due to school, but now that they are starting in August, they do happen when we typically travel

I agree with that - even if from a seasonality standpoint it feels weird to think of Halloween now, I'd rather have the dates known now ... I mean, we are only like a month away from being able to book ADRs when the first parties are scheduled so knowing when and having that impact when you will or wont' be in MK I think helps

And I won't be into the Halloween spirit until October to be honest so whether they announce the dates now or in June it will still be "too early" for me from that standpoint
