Have any of you been to the first party after Thanksgiving? Or do any of you know how popular it is?
I'm so excited!
I would love to know this as well! Our dates are November 27-December 3rd.

Last year I was there Nov 5-14th. The tapings were on the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th. I honestly do not know about FoF because we don't like being in the park at that time because of the crowds. The mornings were crazy though while the taping was going on. I am not sure what they plan to do for this years taping, but we won't be going in Nov this year. It was cool to watch the taping of it, but it was SO darn hot that week.. unusually hot for November so we just couldn't enjoy it as much as we wanted to. We did the party on Thursday, the 12th and it was wonderful!!!! Not sold out, and the park felt empty all night! We kept saying how great and worth it it was because it was so crowded all week.Question! What are the days at the MK like when ABC is shooting the Christmas special? Is the FOF called off on all 3 days.................was anyone there in 2015 who can elaborate?
We'll be visiting during Jersey Week (Nov 6th thru 12th) which does correspond to last years tapings. We taking my brother and his family and trying to plan in general. Wouldn't want them to miss FOF
We're looking at the 11th for the party.........but that depends on the other days as my brother isn't visiting Disney parks on all 7 days we're there. He's planning on a 5 day hopper but if the party works I can get him to a 4 day hopper and he can use the party ticket for the 5th day.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's some pics from 2015 in December!I'm going to really update this bad boy later on but just put it up as a place holder - I don't want to use my photos from two years ago if anyone has photos from LAST year that they want to share, please feel free and I'll update them in the OP. I'm DEF going this year so look forward to my photos at a later date - and as always we will keep this thread up to date with the best and most accurate info we can find.
Are the lines for attractions long during the party?
This may have something to do with the cookies from the site? Try resetting your browser history and website data and check again! I just checked and mine said 2016Well I don't know if it means anything but I've been checking the Disney website under tickets, special events, several times a day for the last few weeks, anxiously awaiting release of party dates. Under the Halloween party it has check back for select dates in 2016 and said that for weeks, but the Christmas party section has always said 2015, until yesterday! Twice yesterday it changed to 2016 and changed back to 2015 later. This morning it was back on 2015. I swear I checked and double checked when it changed, after it changed back to 2015 I thought I was seeing things and imagined seeing the 2016, but it was there again last night. Hopefully this means they are working on loading the dates to the website!

We were there during the time of the taping and they just moved FOF back to 5 p.m. instead of 3 p.m.Question! What are the days at the MK like when ABC is shooting the Christmas special? Is the FOF called off on all 3 days.................was anyone there in 2015 who can elaborate?
Great photos Doug!Here's some pics from 2015 in December!
Any thoughts on the first party date? I'm hoping for Sunday 11/6
Yes. Last year they announced the dates in Feb and started selling in April.Do they usually announce the dates of the parties on one day and then start selling the tickets on a different day?
