Will they have any cm discount dates?
Yep! And they usually mirror Military and AP.

Advance purchase price applies up until the day of. Purchasing online would be the easiest option. I don’t believe you can purchase at your resort, and I’m not sure about ticket booths at parks other than MK? No advantage to purchasing early unless you are worried about a sellout or do not have a regular park ticket for the day and want to book FPs in advance.How far in advance do I need to buy tickets, to get the “advance purchase price?” I’d rather wait until we’re there, and have a relatively good idea about the weather forecast. We’re thinking of attending the 8/20 party, so I’d probably buy them around 8/17. And where would I go to buy them: my resort, a ticket booth, guest services, online? Is there any benefit to buying our tickets now vs. a few days before 8/20? (assuming/hoping it won’t be sold out) We have park hoppers and will be using our Fastpasses at Epcot that morning, and then we have an early dinner booked at Crystal Palace.

I'd say if you know for sure you are going then I would buy them now just to get it out of the way. You never know if a party will be a sell out!We are planning on going Sept 2nd (the only party day of our trip). If I know for sure we are going, should I go ahead and buy tickets? We've never done the Halloween party. Do they usually sell out?
It looks like @OurLaughingPlace had success:

Agreed. With SW:GE opening that week, I’d expect larger than normal crowds at WDW overall and would not leave it to chance, especially if it’s the only party during your trip.I'd say if you know for sure you are going then I would buy them now just to get it out of the way.

It really just depends what your priorities are. For our first one a few years ago, we had several other MK days so we didn’t focus on rides at all. We focused on party specific things such as special characters, trick or treating and the parade, fireworks and stage show. Now a few years later, we added a day after our cruise to go to the first party and since this will be our only time there this trip, we are focusing more on rides. Plus my boys are a few years older and not interested in meeting characters so that will free us up some time to still trick or treat. We’ll still do the parade and fireworks as well.Not sure if this has been addressed previously, but this is my first time attending the party, and I'm just curious: for people who have gone before, do you prioritize attractions to take advantage of lesser wait times? Or do you focus more on the activities? I am so looking forward to the castle show and the fireworks and the parade, but also love the idea of being able do attractions at night.
Thanks for your insight!
I agree with @ksromack for that reason, and I would also buy in advance if you wanted to book any FP in the 4-7 window - which is the main reason why I book mine at least 60 days out.
I'm so excited to see this year's map! 60 days feels so far away!If we can believe it, the first MNSSHP is just 60 days away.

Correct.I can't get FP on top of my original three though right? We will have already been to another park or MK that day.

We hardly ever tire of many MK rides so can’t pass up the opportunity to ride with low/lower waits. Plus nighttime is the best time in the park.
