IDo hope they keep the wide perimeter fireworks.... never been to a party but we loved watching Hallowishes from the Poly Beach where you can really see how widespread the fireworks are

Hopefully they take the best parts of Hallowishes and the best parts of Happily Ever After to make an epic show

Yea that angle is impressive. More so than "inside" MK for us. You simply can't see them all anyway so its kinda wasted.

We have determined that NYE MK are now off our list, even the 30th preview. They do the show 4 times over 2 days, and in our opinion HEA is better anyway.

However, we do watch the 30th from POLY, its very impressive.

Hallowishes though I hope they indeed keep/improve fireworks further, along with the show/projections.

Nice, I wrote an article for the DIS last Halloween on attraction overlays I wanted to see for MNSSHP. I had big thunder on my list. Will be interesting to see how closely my vision aligned with what they come up with (before anyone says it, no, I don't think Disney read my article and took my idea, I just want to see how closely my imagination aligns with the professionals).
 
That would be a bummer. I've read "somewhere" that they are not doing the Early Morning Magic at DHS either after SW:GE opens... dang it...

I wish they could get their entire schedule in place once they get their hours set....this is making it devilishly hard to try to plan AROUND crowds in September....:scared:
Really?? I can't imagine them not doing a paid access event, especially since people want that since there are no FPs! (Myself included.)

Changes for the Wine and Dine half marathon weekend

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...rs-of-disney-wine-dine-half-marathon-weekend/

Not thrilled with the change of the 5K
Have the Food and Wine dates been announced yet? I didn't think so? But they already announced the Marathon? Is that normal?

No, I meant the Festival itself, not the Marathon. Sorry!

The half marathon is basically the same weekend every year (Veteran's Day weekend), I think they normally will announce the next year's dates during the current year (if that makes sense).
 
In my opinion, the more of these that sell out the closer we are to the removal of EMH (or more reductions in it). Once Epcot has more/better attractions, I would gather they will start doing these there as well.
As it stands now, for my upcoming trip next week (24th-28th), there are more options for EMM or DAH events than there are EMHs.

Or .. the closer we are just to these morphing into several months of "Spring Fling" parties -- where they have several times a week like they do with the Halloween and Christmas parties.

I just wonder how many tickets is a "sell out" for these things? Always curious how limited they are (and I know they would never tell us0.
I wonder what Disney sells in food and merchandise during PM EMH? I would imagine non-resort guests linger and take in the sights eating and buying merchandise. I myself as a resort guest use the time to do this. Knock out all my FP+ before, ride whatever smaller attractions have lower waits, then do other things that don’t “waste” my precious AM park time. I could see Disney keeping EMH to claim it’s a great added value to stay onsite especially if it’s making money off of it.
