No
We went on several of the sold out nights and the not sold out nights,
We found them both to be pretty equal in how many people were there.
We considered some things to be crowded depending on what we wanted to do.
We've gone the past 7 plus years and found that the lines have always been
crazy for pictures with the characters and the main rides , ex: space mountain.
We did notice that this year and last year in our opinion the tot lines were crazy long , with the exception of the one in front of cop.
We loved the pass .
I do realize that others feel very differently, and feel pass people are making it horrible for others.
We would go for a few hours , maybe have dinner , or a hot dog at Casey's , Maybe ride one ride , watch a show and go home. It was great for those
of us who live close by and can't walk for hours or stand for long periods of time, etc, etc. I don't feel our being there took from the people who only could go once because we really weren't in any of the lines to do that, did not stake out front spots for a parade or shows.
What we did was just go to enjoy a light dinner , see all the costumes , shop a little and walk around.
Everyone experiences Disney in a different way..
We don't plan anything and just wing it. It works for us.
Very sorry this so long , but just wanted to share another type of experience.
This year was one of the best party experiences we've ever had and I hope they do offer a party pass for Christmas.
