Originally Posted By Friar Tuck and Roll I attended this years Night of Joy on Saturday. Even with a sell out the park overall did not seem as crowded as during years past.

I was watching close to the castle about half way from the Partners statue to the stage. I could not see any empty space behind me nor for some distance behind the partners statue. I think part of this though has to do with the construction around the hub and viewing any performance from the castle will be much better once construction is complete

Even if the hub construction wasn't blocking any usable walkways (though it probably was), there should be more room in the future since there will be additional walkways to bypass the area, essentially leaving the entire existing area for viewing space without needing to allow for walking space in there

If the backing group were to pull out, would Disney continue the event in the future? In recent years it seems like Disney has done more promotion of it, which makes a bigger gray area
