Wishes Fireworks in October?

[Duck143]

For those of you who have been to MK for the Halloween time, do you know if the only time they do Wishes Fireworks is the party nights (hallo-wishes)?

Hallowishes is only done during the party.

They have historically done the regular Wishes on non-party nights. I have no idea why they are being so reluctant to include that when they publish the monthly calendars this year.

With everything else going on, I would assume that means there is at least some consideration on changing the schedule for 2016.

No..Wishes is done nightly, aside for party nights. On MNSSHP they have HalloWishes during the party.

At MK they have fireworks every night unless otherwise notified

This. And the "unless otherwise" part is extremely rare.

Thank you! Trying to plan this trip and it's so hard when they release the schedule in pieces!!

This happened with the early September calendar, normal wishes were not scheduled until very recently, so my guess is that they will add October's as well

I've also been trying to find out if you have a breakfast reservation at HS, if they will let you sign up for Jedi training before the park opens?

And the fourth week on the travel agent calendar isn't showing Wishes at all (as opposed to saying "Wishes: None").

I wouldn't worry about it at all

This past October we went on a non party day to see WISHES and then again on a different day to a party. I had 2 people with me who had never been to Disney World. Omg, it was elbow to elbow on the non party day. Ride wait times were 1.5 to 2 hours. Absolutely CRAZY. Glad we saw MSEP and WISHES last year because we wont be doing THAT again. Be sure to plan for a busy day if you plan to spend a non party day at MK.

I am ok with leaving the park by 4pm, so the advice is to hold to MK on a party day? The wait times will be less?

We went in the 3rd week of October last year. That Monday was our non party day where the wait times were so bad. We went back on Thursday night that same week for the party and rode BTMRR 6 times back to back with zero wait. Literally, got off then right back on it. All rides were pretty much like that. That has always been our experience with the parties.

If you want to enjoy MK then I HIGHLY recommend entering the park at 4pm and going on a party day. You just wont get to see WISHES or MSEP. If you really want to see WISHES, I'd visit another park during the day and hop over to MK that evening (if you have hoppers). Non party days are always more crowded during MNSSHP and MVMCP because WISHES is limited to 3 nights per week so more people visit MK on those days so they can see it.

I worry that the person responsible for these calendars is overworked and stressed out, to miss an obvious error like that, and who knows what more serious error will be made.

Lately, they have been signing up ALL guests (waiting outside the gates) "early."

But, things change so fast, I don't know what you should expect...
other than if you are at DHS before or at park opening time, you (and your child) will be able to sign up for JTA.

I ran into this while constructing touring plans. Touringplans plan maker is indicating that Wishes is not scheduled during the non-party day. Not sure if this is because schedule isn't out yet or what

 

[CAS239]

Wishes will be done nightly. If it's a party night, it'll be a special wishes fireworks show (HalloWishes, etc) and only be for party guests.

Good good good, thanks for the info!
