I apologize for delay in posting link. I see someone graciously posted for me, thank u! I had a family emergency immediately following my post and just getting back around to it! I follow tp on twitter which is where I saw it w/ link attached.

Thank you!!

Sending pixie dust for the family emergency.

I'm at their predicted #7, so hopefully it won't be horrid.

#7 is one of the parties that I am attending as well. I thought for sure Friday the 7th would be worse than Sunday the 9th, or at least almost identical crowd-wise. I am interested to see how accurate their predictions are.

Hope all is well! Thanks for the heads up! I love your ear hat, is that rose gold?

Since the website is giving me lots of time to think about the dessert party, I'm having a little planning dilemma and curious for your input. I have 2 parties booked 8/28 and 8/31. According to the TP crowd predictor that is number 2 and 14 or the crowd list. My initial thought was to book the party on 8/28 - 2 main reasons, the first is if for some reason there is a major washout/storm on that night, I would have the option to try again on the 31st. The other reason is I'd prefer to leave the 2nd party open time so that I can cover off anything that was missed during the first one and generally have a more relaxed pace. My dilemma is, does it actually make sense to do to the dessert party (w/parade viewing) on the 8/31 party because it will more than likely be more crowded (Friday vs. Tuesday). Having that reserved parade spot and Hallowishes spot may be of more use to me on a more crowded night, but then I lose the two advantages I had with doing it earlier.

I realize this is a major 1st world problem, but I keep floundering back and forth on this decision. What would you do?

I’m at their projected 10 (10/4), which I feel okay about. I thought about doing 10/2, but we ended up deciding to go to Universal that day.

Mine are #20 and #24. I'm okay with it, though. We wanted to go closer to Halloween so I'm not mad.

Thank u for the pixie dust, my family can definitely use it, and thank u for compliment on my ears! They’re rose gold and silver. I designed them on etsy and love them. I think I can login to my etsy account and view which store if u’re interested.

I wonder if it's because Rosh Hashanah starts at sundown on the 9th so there are more people with 4-day weekends.

Hmmmm. My inclination would be to see the parade and fireworks on 8/28 and use 8/31 to get a ton of other things covered while the bigger crowds wait for the parade and fireworks. But I see your dilemma with unknown weather factors.

Best you can do is have a plan A and B and be flexible. We planned 2 parties last year - 1 got cancelled due to hurricane. Just have to roll with it.

Have the Halloween Dessert parties been released yet? Late to the game here, but some posts say they have them booked but others say they aren't open yet. Trying to book for Oct. 5th, but it keeps saying "unable to search for tables".

Not open yet. Some were lucky to grab one when they were apparently briefly live, but they have not been open since. Still waiting...

 

[GillianP1301]

Another day another "we're unable to check for available tables" message on the dessert parties.

Touring plans shows my party date 9/11 as the least crowded. WooHoo! Hope that doesn't change too much.

This was some of the logic behind me choosing the first (Tuesday) party for the dessert party night, just an overall more releaxed approach to the 2nd party with not having to be anywhere at any given time. I wasn't even thinking of the fact that if I just skip the parade all together on the 2nd party that I'd be opening up the opportunity for less crowds at the other activities, so thanks for that insight! I'd likely watch the fireworks my non dessert party night anyway, but I would just watch when they start from wherever I am, I wouldn't be that picky about my location. I think I am now back to my original though of dessert party on my first MNSSHP night. But, with booking still no open, lots of time to change my mind a few more times.

Now you're convincing me that I should do the dessert party on our first MNSSHP night too. I was going to try the second night, but maybe I should try for the first night.

Sorry! This is what happens to me when I'm in a lull waiting for things to open to book, I start to 2nd guess all my plans. I'm still not totally sold on the 1st vs 2nd party yet. I will add that I also have a DAH booked in between my two MNSSHPs, so there is a slight possibility we may crash and burn at that second party in which case I'd rather have the dessert party done and over with the first party night, which is another reason I was leaning towards the first. But, if I were looking at this straight from a crowd prediction perspective, I think having the dessert party on the most crowded party night makes the most sense because there is more benefit to having reserved spots when it's more crowded.
