Regarding MNSSHP sell outs - My theory is that after a few parties being ridiculously crowded, probably due to the Party Pass, Disney reduced the number of regular tickets they were selling. Over on the MNSSHP thread, there were reports a few weeks ago Disney was actually asking Party Pass people to consider leaving one night! Also, some recently had purchased tickets from UT only to have UT tell them that Disney reduced the number of tickets available to them and they had to refund their money!
On another note, we just got back from a 10-day trip (7 park days) and I am here to tell you the parks were packed! I went into this trip fully aware that there were fall breaks happening. (That’s why we picked that week, so that my nephews wouldn’t miss too many school days.) The first weekend was crowded but this past weekend was CRAZY crowded. The worst wait I saw was *175 minutes* for Safaris!!!! I have never seen that before! Galaxy’s Edge was pretty crowded, too. EEMH on Saturday were fairly busy! I know that one week probably does not make up for the previous two or three weeks’ low attendance. But, WDW still seems like a LOT of families’ go-to vacation spot! As my husband puts it, “It’s vacation in a box!”
For whatever reason, I've learned that Columbus day weekend is one of the worst weekends to be at WDW. In 2017 there was a line outside to then get to wait in line inside to order food at Cosmic Rays the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. I've vowed to never return during this time.
