September post Labor Day crowds and planning

[AustinTink]

Rarely are attractions walk-ons right now with the exception of the first few minutes of the day and some attractions late at night.

If it were me I would plan to wait for all attractions then be surprised if anything was a walk-on.

Sorry I meant nowadays are there lines during the Halloween parties.

Last year the majority of lines were short during MNSSHP, even at sold out parties but, we have no idea how many tickets are being sold for parties in 2023. More popular rides (e.d. SDMT) will always have a line. I would recommend reading the 2022 MNSSHP thread and 2022?MVMCP thread but know that those experiences can change in 2023. We won’t really have an answer to your question until the parties start.

I will say though that even at parties very rarely are rides ‘walk-ons’. That sometimes seems to happen at After Hour parties but not always and, those parties are not always offered.

Bottom line is Disney’s popularity has grown exponentially and ‘empty parks’ just don’t exist.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I was just relaying the Halloween party information to my husband and he said, “good, that sounds better, it was TOO empty last time we went, almost to a creepy extent.” Honestly, on some rides we were the only riders, Pirates for example.

He is most interested in Tron. That’s the major reason for this visit, going to see Tron for his birthday. I hope it’s running during the Halloween party.

The trip went from 2.5 days to booked for 7 nights. Now I can relax a bit with the planning.
