A time for it to be over

[Xavier da Silva]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know which of the following expressions sounds correct/idiomatic in the contexts below. What would you suggest? Please take a look.

Expressions:

1. There isn't a time for it be over
2. We don't know when when it's going to be over

Context:

Jane: This party is great. There are so many nice people here.
Mike: I agree with you. I'm really enjoying it.
John: The best part is: there isn't a time for it to be over. You'll have plenty of time to dance, drink and talk. Don't worry, this party will last a long time.

Thank you very much in advance!

Probably the first, althought somehow they both sound a bit awkward.

Thank you for your answer. What would you suggest?
Is there an idiom for this situation?

"there isn't a finishing time" perhaps.

I like your suggestion. I have come up with another one:

Generally speaking,

It is going to be a long party.
It is going to be a long meeting.
It is going to be a long class.
