That can happen when you take sizeable chunks of hotel rooms out of service at a few resorts. Someone around here mentioned it, and I trust the poster that said it.

I got Dec 12 early but … what’s going on Disney??? Hotels look booked too.

So glad to know there are others who hate them as well. It's like a sweat shirt made for a flying squirrel or something.

Alright. They got me. I'm planning a trip that straddles the 12/15-17 weekend anyway and already have a ticket for Jollywood on 12/16, so I grabbed the MVMCP ticket for 12/17 while still available.

We're planning on December 7th and hadn't booked tickets yet but looks like may have to if random dates like that are selling out.

That’s a random December date. Anyone have a reason? I’m planning to go that weekend, but my wife and I haven’t bought tickets yet.

Right. Just wanted to make sure. To me, it's a better value when fireworks shown during regular hours. More people, so you're guaranteed a spot. I would usually do the "after party" when I watch the fireworks first in the reserved spot then partake of the food/beverages while crowds jostle around to leave the park, etc. Fewer people during a party event so you're wasting money and time with a party within a party.

Yes and are an additional cost to the party ticket.

Are these all during MVMCP?
