we3peas 12 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I read in the Orlando Sentinel that NOJ will be held at ESPN next year with buses providing transportation to MK for those who want to do rides/attractions. Just wondering since my dd's church group usually goes is this because it does not draw enough of a crowd on its own to shut down the park? I will guess that they will keep MK open to everyone instead of making it a private party and hope most people will stay at ESPN to hear the concerts. My dd will be out because she goes to ride the rides when the crowds are lower not necessarily for the concerts (too loud for her). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 There was some brief discussion of the subject on this thread: http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/16430-night-of-joy-2016/?hl=night It's not clear whether or not the MK will be exclusive for the NOJ guests. This year's NOJ"s were allegedly sold out in advance, so it's possible that they have added the Wide World of Sports venue into it so they can sell more tickets and make more money. It's also possible that they want to eventually shift the whole event out of the MK. This could be the beginning of the end of Nights of Joy. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starting in 2016, they will be holding Walt Disney's Nights of Profit. Because when you are Disney, profit is the only thing that brings you joy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
