Interesting concept - knowing how crowded it is at the holidays, you get guaranteed access to Flight of Passage and other attractions and exclusive viewing option for EPCOT Forever and some other perks,

Pricing obviously isn't cheap, but won't be for any stay over the holidays so doesn't seem crazy

Isn't that true of just about any independently produced show? I'm sure its just a matter of negotiating compensation.

Sometimes that compensation is incredibly complicated to negotiate essentially rendering a show impossible to acquire.

The Drew Carey Show will likely never stream due to its complicated rights issues. Specifically the rights to content within the show, and not so much the show itself.

I assume it is just a typo - if not I am intrigued by the Mad ages party!

Feel odd that the part I might be most excited about is adding things to the Speedway ... Would be great if they had more scenery elements 365 days a year for it

Hmmm I am so on the fence about going this year. I saved some money on our room with the AP discount, so I wouldn't feel bad splurging. HOWEVER, I feel th party right before Thanksgiving will be JAMMED.

Also seems odd that they are already discounting tickets in July...soft bookings ?

This sounds SO GREAT, and so easy! I wish they would add Halloween decoration too. Sounds like it could be very easy to do but yield high guest satisfaction.

Ooh Halloween would be great! And if it has the be IP related could be Nightmare Before Christmas or Vampirina or something

When I bought my tickets (when released) the whole save $10 with advanced booking statement existed. It was only for select days too. Also I believe that statement was on the page last year when I booked right at release date. It's really saying if you buy day of they will cost you $10 more.

I am conflicted.

On one hand, good job for adding new content to the parties.

On the other hand, they're just doing the absolute bare minimum and it seems cheap to me when the parties cost so much. Adding Christmas jokes, a few extra strands of Christmas lights, music to space mountain....meh.

I feel like the speedway COULD be really cool if they do it well. So it remains to be seen if they put enough effort into it to make it worthwhile.

This, 100%

Plus the image in the story has a retro vibe to me, so if they did like a 50s Christmas theme with metal trees and stuff like that and 50s music it could be pretty cool

Is it sad that this might actually FINALLY get to ride the Speedway and experience Monsters Inc? I have never done those attractions/shows...lol.

well, as an adult I don't think the speedway is anytihng you really need to do (now, at Disneyland I think Autopia is worth it) - but with kids the speedway is fun (would be more fun if they added elements to it and made it electric and more futuristic)

Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (the attraction we should not abbreviate) is actually pretty fun to at least do once

Unlike the other attraction overlays, the speedway is the only one with physical decoration (Others can just switch on/off christmas/halloween mode). Does that mean that it might be possible to see the overlay, maybe a reduced version without the christmas lights on, without going to the parties?
