MNSSHP make the day busy?

Looking at wait times, the park is still very much dead, most rides 5-20 minutes.

no, the exact opposite We have juat rebooked all our MK days to be on party night days.

The queues were very light considering. 7dmt at 25 min actual queue at 8am? BTM 15min listed time at 2pm. Walk on for barnstormer, dumbo, tea cups, pirates at 1.30pm

Was there all day, lowest crowds I've seen in 10 years
Pretty much everything walk on till 4pm (bar 7dmt, peter pan and jungle cruise that were all no more than 30-40)

walk on for space, broke down on ride, lights on and evac. My first, very cool

Also do you use crowd calendars to help plan your trip?

No it will be quieter than normal in the day.

No never used crowd calculators. Well not on a daily basis, I look at them to see if it is better to go in say, February or November, but I wouldn’t look to see if Tuesday or Wednesday is better in the same week.

Party days are great for MK. I generally leave the parks about 4.00 so it works out well. I have 3 days booked for MK in September and all are party days.

I just had a mini panic thinking we would miss out on MK fireworks on our last night because we reserved HS for our last full day, which is a party day, with a plan to hop to Mk in the evening for the fireworks. Then remembered that’s the night we’re at the party 🤦🏻😂

Was there today. Early park hours is difficult being at 7:30 but got there around 7:40. Peter Pan was posted 45mins was through in 10mins. Haunted Mansion was next, walk on. Went over to Jungle Cruise as was posted 15 mins, walk on. Pirates, walk on. Big thunder was our first Genie+ but was only posted 15mins.

The whole day was really quiet, I queued for 7 dwarfs for the first time ever as it was only 35mins wait. Left at 2pm as we had, had enough of the heat and had done everything that we wanted to do. Didn’t really need Genie+ but it helped with a few of the longer queues but most queues weren’t more than 20mins. A lot of the smaller rides were 5mins all day!

No, it actually makes the day quieter. Queues are shorter during the day when MNSSHP is on that night.

People without MNSSHP tickets tend to avoid MK during those days because they’ll have to leave earlier and won’t be able to see the fireworks.

We were there today. It was really quiet. We are at MNSSHP on the 19th so will go about 5pm after DD has finished her shift at HS.

Just to give an example of how the party nights affect crowds and wait times, below are the daily wait time levels for MK over the last 10 days:

The MNSSHP party nights were on Fri 12th and Tues 16th. The wait time levels - which show a relative measure of the average standby wait times across all the rides - dropped significantly on those two days.
