It appears some tickets are available at Magic Kingdom for the party tonight -

I posted this in the other thread but in case anyone is wondering I was able to get them at guest relations at DHS about 20 minutes ago.

↩ replying to DCBakerTHANK YOU. Was in line at Disney Springs when I saw this. A bit glitchy, but my tickets are now in MDE for tonight!

↩ replying to MagicHappens1971They might say Hippity Hoppity, but Disney will never use that dreaded word......Easter!🤒

↩ replying to raymusiccityThe word “Easter” has far less to do with Christianity than “Christmas” does.

And..... MNSSHP tickets are sold out. Very happy I got them.

↩ replying to James AlucobondWell this is the hot take for the day, considering they are the two most important holidays on the Christian calendar, and that the entire religion is based on believing in the resurrection that happened on Easter, I would disagree. But what do I know?

↩ replying to jpedenI took the point as WDW has no issue saying Christmas (closely related to the word Christian), so why would they intentionally avoid saying Easter. And they don’t avoid saying Easter either.

↩ replying to jpeden"Christmas" literally means "Christ's Mass", whereas Easter's name comes from the pagan celebration of the goddess Eostre. Wasn't speaking to the importance of either holiday, just to their demonstrable willingness to say a holiday's name that very explicitly references Christ.

So, someone who has been to another party this year, is tonight normal for this year? It seems crazy low crowds. I
Most everything has been walkon. Parade and fireworks crowds are VERY reasonable. I must assume there were way more no shows than new tickets sold today.

↩ replying to Hawg GCan only compare to previous years but agree very light in numbers. Was a great night

It definitely felt less crowded than the 9/16 party, which itself felt much lighter than 2019.
Had no trouble finding a spot in Town Square for the parade, the first one even, which I usually avoid in favor of the second one because it’s less crowded. After the parade passed I was able to meander over to the castle to get an excellent spot in the street for the parade. There were definite crowds for the first two Hocus Pocus shows (skipped the midnight show, so I can’t tell you anything about that) but it was entirely manageable.
Oddly enough, the only time the party felt “busy” was when you were in line to get candy. Those lines seemed strangely longer than last time, for whatever reason.
It was a great night, and the cast was in very good spirits, at least the ones I spoke with. Beautiful (dry!!) weather, too.
