I've said multiple times that I'm waiting till it's closer, for precisely the reasons you give. Last year, those September dates that sold out didn't do so until a day or two before the party. The early October dates that sold out did so a few days before. It was only the late October dates that sold out a few weeks (or, for Halloween, three months) before.Is it crazy to wait closer to our party date to buy tickets? Is this more popular than the MVMCP? Last Nov. it rained on our MVMCP and they cancelled things. SO I was thinking of waiting closer to the date for a long range weather forecast since there are 3 parties the week we are at Disney.
