Night of Joy

[cantwaitvaca09]

My 2015 family vacation is booked from the day after labor day 9/8-9-17
I have read that the weekend after labor day is Night of Joy.

How can I find out what the 2015 Night of Joy dates are?

Also, are the crowds high, I am wondering if I should move my trip?

I do not want to be at WDW for Wine and Dine either.

Thank you for your help.

1. Should be the same for next year--weekend after Labor Day.

2. Crowds are relatively low--traditionally among the lowest all year.

Thank you for responding. So with that I should be safe keeping my dates where they are?

If you're concerned primarily about avoiding crowds, then in my opinion yes.

Yes changing my dates would only be to avoid Night of Joy crowd.
I was planning on MK that Friday thinking it would be the night of MNSSHP and it would have low crowd for the day and then doing MNSSHP the following Tuesday of our trip.
We also are planning Sea World so I can do that Saturday to avoid Night of Joy and then pool / resort time on Sunday???? Maybe, ugh, planning is so stressful

The 1st MNSSHP of the year should be on your arrival date. You might want to kick off your trip with the party. You also won't use a park ticket that day. Check in and relax and go to MK anytime after 4pm. The crowd calendar on touringplans.com is a level 1 out of 10 for Sept.8. We are doing Sept.5-10

I will have to see if we can fly in early enough for that!

According to this link, you'll miss Night of Joy as it's scheduled for Sept. 4-5:

That would be awesome. We will be right in between Night of Joy and Food & Wine!

Historically the NOJ concert is the weekend after Labor Day. I went through 9yrs of NOJ dates. It will most likely be on September 11-12.

Steve Soares has reported on wdwent.com the dates of upcoming 2015 events and Sept. 4 & 5 are the nights for NOJ.

Is NOJ always held at MK? Would going to MK during that day mean lower crowds?

Almost certainly.
