Correct - with Minnie and Friends being seasonal in terms of outfits and food choices.

Just saw that Star Wars land in DW opens August 29th.
Looks like those early August partys will be the best time to go as people desend on DW.

Yea tell me about it. Now i dont know what to do on my trip​

I’m confused too.

Me too! We’re there 9/1-9/8 and now I’m wondering if I should reschedule. I’m not wanting to deal with the massive crowds and chaos that first week will bring.

I saw a rumor there might be a soft open in July. I'm hoping we can preview during the mid-August parties, most of the thrill - none of the crowds. (or maybe some of the crowds?)

Cant wait for this ADR for our May trip!!!

Also note the Evil Queen doesn't partake in autograph signing.

Yep- I'm in same boat but since we have the free dining, booked plane tickets and my daughter has the time off approved- I think we cant change our date ( 9/3- 9/13)- Lure of the low crowds along with MNNSHP and Food and Wine along with Free Dining was hard to pass on ( I wanted to go in May but .....)- I'm personally not into Star Wars so I want to avoid the new "Land" but also dont want it to have a significant impact on my vacation either.

Also going on what is now apparently SWGE opening week. I’m pretty bummed but trying to be positive. And to think my biggest worry was over whether the 9/2 or the 9/6 party would be more crowded

 

[chinarider]

We were planning to do EMH at HS on Sunday 9/8 and then rest for before MK party that night.... now that thought is concerning me.... My only positive thought is I'm there for Toy Story....maybe it could work towards my advantage....However, I'm thinking people might now be more inclined to stay for the long weekend so maybe Sunday party will be more crowded? Maybe since it's just following the long weekend , it might not be???? Who knows.... I was there in Dec my last visit and really wanted something a little calmer this time...

Me too. But since I already have tickets for the 9/2 party, we’re just hoping everyone else will be in the 10 hour lines over at HS... ;-)

Have the times of the parties been announced yet? Specifically for DVC members on 9/6? I know last year they allowed a 2 PM entrance. I will be doing ADR's on Sunday and just trying to figure out how to schedule a meal. I am thinking of a 2:30 PM ADR at Liberty Tree but if they do not allow us in until 4 PM then that will not work.

I really wish they would get park schedules and hours out before the ADR dates!

I like many of you, am completely freaked out about the early opening at Star Wars. I was hoping for a nice quiet non-crowded time and now it is going to be a hectic mess!

After going to the Halloween party last year I thought maybe we'd try Universal this year instead of buying MNSSHP tickets. Who am I kidding? I love Halloween! I really enjoy figuring out our costumes and dressing up. Last year we were all pirates and I even made a pirate ship for our stroller. It was so much fun. This year, we're going to be Once Upon a Time villians. Can't wait!! We're planning on going to the Aug 27th party.

People have been asking about early entry for DVC members this year. Somebody might have a better recollection than me, but it seems to me that there wasn't a big official "Hey DVC people can get in early!" announcement. I think people noticed it on a page along with other DVC benefits. I remember looking at the page because we were trying to figure out what it meant. Was it only for DVC owners who met certain requirements (like the rules for people who want to use the Epcot lounge)? Was it only for people who were booked on a hotel resie with you? The page didn't say, so there was confusion until people tested it out at the first few parties.

Would love to see pictures of your costumes.

Correct, it was noticed by a member among the benefits, but then circulated via social media quite quickly. However, it was added close to the beginning of party season.....and even then was only initially for MNSSHP, not MVMCP. That was added later. I don’t expect we’ll know the plans for this year until much closer to the start of the parties. But you can definitely keep an eye on the member benefits page as that will likely be where it pops up first!
