Sounds awesome, thanks! Now I’m just trying to figure out whether we can do this late night and then rope drop another park the next morning…

If you are ride oriented yes definitely worth it. The parks are on the lighter side to begin with and during the parties they thin out even more… if you last until the end it will feel like you own the park. Get there at 4 when they open the gates for party ticket people. You will not regret it

Yes the wait times are minimal. The party is busy, but that is mostly around entertainment on Main Street.

Resurrecting this thread to ask: is the party worth it if my family’s main focus is the rides? Might we expect ride lines to be short enough that we could go on most attractions twice?

I have my own name for "AccuWeather": "Inaccuweather."

I had a great time and I think it was ultimately worth the cash for my family of 5. We went on the 19th.

Responding to the two posts above me as to why the parties stop before Christmas.

The last party was Dec 22nd.

I think if they are going to have massive crowds Christmas week, they don't need to double sell park admission. And if you didn't buy G+ to get on rides, you can at least see the holiday parade and fireworks.

Tourism travel has historically dropped off a cliff after New Years. People generally need to get back to life after Christmas.

I’m actually surprised at the shorter window that the Christmas parties have compared to Halloween. Then Halloween parties run slightly past Halloween, where the Christmas parties actually stop a few days before Christmas and they have the parade, fireworks and stage show during regular hours.
