I had to make a similar decision. 12/7 or 12/8. I heard the Thursday party would be less crowded so I went with Thursday.If you had the choice between attending a Thursday 12/7 or Sunday 12/10 party, which one would you go to? (For lower crowds)

I wouldn't do it. It's hard enough to do everything we want during a party as it is.Any thoughts on a 6:30 pm BOG reservation on a party night? Will I be ok doing a sit down at that time and not miss too much of the party?
We did BOG night of the party and had no regrets a couple years ago BUT it was a dream of mine to dine there and I had no idea if/when I'd get another chance. If BOG is a special dining experience that you or someone in your party really wants to do and this is your only chance this trip I'd take the party time and do it. If you'll have another shot at it, or you're just kinda interested in it, I'd skip it.Any thoughts on a 6:30 pm BOG reservation on a party night?

I did this my first xmas party and majorly regretted it, they were running about 30 mins behind and then dinner was overly rushed on both our end and theirs - I also think the food is overrated for the cost here.Any thoughts on a 6:30 pm BOG reservation on a party night?

Interesting-wonder if they will also wait until later to admit guests. It may be well known here that Disney has allowed admission as early as 4 pm without a day ticket but that is not published anywhere so even if they don't allow admission until 6pm this year that would still be "bonus" time for what is advertised.This article deals with the earlier closing time

Touring Plans blog just had a post about the least crowded dates for the MVMCP 2017. They rank each of the dates from least crowded to most crowded. Check there and see which one is the lowest out of your choices.

We watched the second parade after the fireworks we got in one character meet n greet betweenI have 6:30pm BOG res this year for a party.
Were you guys out in time for the parade?
We originally had 6:30 but were able to swap for a 5:25 dinner. We figure we'll show up around 5:00 to get in as early as possible. Even if it takes an hour and a half, that's just 7pm and right when the party starts. We're on the hunt for a 4:30ish reservation if one pops up.I did this my first xmas party and majorly regretted it, they were running about 30 mins behind and then dinner was overly rushed on both our end and theirs - I also think the food is overrated for the cost here.

It's not.I'm pretty sure they base that on ride wait times though, and since that's not what most people go to the parties for, I'm not sure how helpful it is.
Are you booking ADRs through the MVMCP link or the regular one? I'm curious how early they're accepting ADRs with a party ticket. Now that 6-7 is an EMH for party goers I wonder how that'll change dining.We originally had 6:30 but were able to swap for a 5:25 dinner.

This is correct. I had booked through the link originally and got one for 5:25 through the normal site.I believe that ADRs from 4-6pm are booked through the regular reservations page (with or without a party ticket) and from 6-close through the party dining link (requires a party ticket).
Ok. So non party goers can still technically make a 600 ADR but not ride the rides past this time. Still trying to sort all this out.I believe that ADRs from 4-6pm are booked through the regular reservations page (with or without a party ticket) and from 6-close through the party dining link (requires a party ticket).
Actually really happy to see this, I remember the cross-over time being extremely crowded when I went a couple years ago.This article deals with the earlier closing time
