honestly that is one reason we have never done either the Halloween or Christmas parties - just mentally I have trouble dealing with "wait, I paid for tickets for the week, why do I need to pay for another ticket to get in?" - I know you don't have to have a regular ticket for the day you do the party and can use the party ticket to come in at 4, but like you said, once you get up to like 5 days adding days 6 and 7 are very inexpensive

We typically go for a full 2 weeks. So we get the 10 day ticket pkg and then MVMCP gives us an 11th park day and then 3 non park days. It worked good for us.

However that was when it was $70-$75 a ticket. We haven't gone to a MVMCP since they jacked the price to $100.

Permits are usually required for anything that costs over $2500 I believe.

Again you guys are confusing permit and notice of commencement. A notice of commencement is required for any project over 2500. There is some exception, but I can't remember what it is..... 1000 for AC?.....not sure.

And the flood management applications are not the same as the building permit either.

Permits are required for any new structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or roofing construction. Carpentry or trim work, maintenance work on any of the previous that does not become covered (by wallboard, etc), paint, roof repair up to I think 100 sq ft., flooring, cabinetry and counter tops as long as no electrical or plumbing gets moved, gutters and soffit, landscape, low voltage electrical, no permits. I'm sure I missed some.

That is what I meant yes. We don't actually see permit filings. Everything we usually see on Disney fan sites are notices of commencements its just everyone calls them permits.

I just really want Disney
to buy some of those costumes they use at nationals games for their inter inning races and put them for use in the parks.

That would be awesome! I met them at a game last season. Was the highlight since the Mariners lost.
 
On the subject of more parties, the only reason I am not a fan is because I still want to see Happily Ever After etc. I do think though that since there is currently no night time parade there is more to see when the party is going on and honestly paying a little extra to have the park slightly thinned out with more characters is not too bad a deal in my mind. I think our next trip will be End of October into the first week of November (potentially 9/10 days!) with Park Hopper and only needing to do 1 party.

It takes value away from everyone else's tickets. When they are open until midnight 4 nights a week for a party, they have to cut the hours elsewhere. You end up with 9 and 10 pm closures at MK the rest of the nights instead of 11 and 12. And everyone flocks to MK the one night a week it's actually open late. I like to stay up late when I'm on vacation, and Disney closes the resort pools, and I have no desire to deal with going to DS. I really wish they would alternate hours to keep at least ONE park open until at least 11 every night without EMH. My dream for a 5th gate is an adults thrill park that doesn't open until after noon, but stays open until 1-3 AM. But as it is, MK after dark is my favorite place at Disney. At least the time of year they do the Christmas parties it gets dark early enough to enjoy it for a while, but if you go in September, good luck getting more than a couple hours of it without a party ticket.

Agreed - I am going in April for first time and every park closes by 9/9:30 pretty much - i like sleeping in a little, waiting for initial crowds to clear buses/security then head in for the day. My fav trip included a 1-3 AM EMH where we walked on every ride and photos were almost of just us. At least Epcot's late EMH are Tuesday's which is also a party night.

I am definitely of the opinion that I have no issue with anything extra being offered as long as the impact to the "base" experience I minimal - but I think there is starting to be evidence that the more hard ticketed events they offer the shorter the park hours even on non-event days. Now it is hard to explicitly state that one is the exact cause of the other (maybe even without hard ticketed events they would be cutting back on hours) but certainly seems to be a bit of a correlation
