    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    After reading all the negative experiences about overcrowded parties, I was worried about this year, but we had a great experience at the 10/9 and 10/11 parties. We did two parties only because my wife and I do cosplay as a hobby and it’s the only chance we as adults can wear our Disney costumes...

    Official 2018 MNSSHP Guest List Thread (READ POST 2 before posting!)

    I’ll join this thread better late than never! My DW and I will be attending two parties this year, on 10/9 and 10/11. 2 adults, no kids. We’re bringing two sets of costumes so I don’t know which we will wear on which night. It depends somewhat on the weather: Anger/Disgust and Bert/Mary...

    ECV Parade and Fireworks Viewing and CPAP Distilled Water

    Thanks for the detailed post! This really helps! Thanks so much! This is immensely helpful. We will probably watch Happily Ever After from Main Street and Hallowishes from Fantasyland. I actually normally prefer watching MK fireworks from Fantasyland because of the lighter crowds, but I want...

    ECV Parade and Fireworks Viewing and CPAP Distilled Water

    Hi all! I'm a long time member and frequent WDW visitor. We have a WDW trip coming up next month and it will be our first trip in about 2 1/2 years. It will also be my first time with an ECV-- sadly, I now have mobility issues that severely limit the amount of walking I can do. So I've finally...

    What is not to be missed?! Adults only (DH and I)..Clubs, activities, etc. 1st trip without family i

    Agree on the adult shows in the nightclubs, especially the game shows. If you have a great club host these are so much fun, and they do a great job of getting everyone involved. On the longer cruises oftentimes the headlining entertainers will sometimes do an adults-exclusive show in the "main"...

    Would like tips and info on the Fantasy 7 night Western Caribbean.

    We did the Western Caribbean last year in October. Cozumel: Booked at Nachi Cocom based on the recommendations of others on the DIS. It was wonderful-- uncrowded, beautiful beach, good food and drinks, great service. The cab ride to and from was easy. Would definitely do this again. Grand...

    HOTHS vs. MNSSHP

    Having done MNSSHP several times and been on two HOTHS cruises, I would say that I enjoy both for different reasons but I overall prefer MNSSHP. I definitely think a HOTHS cruise is worth doing, but only if you think of it as a nice addition to the cruise rather than the main reason you are...

    Why Halloween on the High Seas?

    I definitely agree that MNSSHP is far better as a Halloween event than Halloween on the High Seas. Also, I agree that you shouldn't choose the cruise just because it's Halloween themed or you may be disappointed-- the Halloween activities are a fun "extra" but the real focus is on the cruise...

    Potential storm in the gulf

    We’re sailing the 10/7/17 Fantasy that was originally an Eastern but switched to a Western itinerary. If the track holds, the storm would be clear of the area before our scheduled stop at Cozumel on Monday. Here’s hoping!

    Halloween on the High Seas: Costumes to Dinner?

    We wore our costumes to dinner on our Halloween cruise in 2013. We're sailing on the Fantasy on 10/7/17 and we plan on doing it again for the Halloween night. We're on the late dinner seating and with the kids' Halloween party in the afternoon and the adult Halloween party after dinner we don't...

    Oct. 7, 2017 Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean! Who is with me?

    Hello all! We just booked this cruise and we couldn't be more excited! This will be me and DW's third Disney cruise and our first on the Fantasy! We're both in our early 40s, no kids. We previously did a 5 night on the Wonder in May 2010 for our honeymoon and then a 3 night cruise on the Dream...

    "Official" 2015 MNSSHP thread

    I'll give a quick report on our parties-- we went on 10/13 and 10/15. Neither were sold out. Our goals were to get photos around the park and with characters in our costumes, plus watch the parade, fireworks, and Hocus Pocus stage show. No trick-or-treating or any rides/attractions. My wife and...

    "Official" 2015 MNSSHP thread

    Yes. You can get in line for any ride all the way up until midnight and you will still get to ride no matter how long the wait is. This applies any day to the rides at any of the parks. Note that this doesn't hold true for characters who often have their line cut before closing time. But rides...

    "Official" 2015 MNSSHP thread

    We always arrive for MNSSHP right at 4:00 pm and we arrive in costume. There will be plenty of other party-goers in costume then, so you will definitely not be the only ones! We like to use the time from 4:00-7:00 pm before the party for photo ops around the park and with some "non-party"...

    smitch: We are switching from the 10/12 party to the 10/13 party. Still Baymax and Honey Lemon. Also for the 10/15 party you put down Alice and Hatter as our costumes but we're doing Tinker Bell and Captain Hook for that one. You must be thinking of last year. :) I did a double take to make...

    Thanks! The Baymax is just a plain white hoodie sweatshirt and a pair of white shorts, and then I bought a Baymax crochet hat from a seller on Etsy. I made the little "rate your pain" sign out of cardboard and an old wooden ruler I had laying around. You can't see it in the photo, but I bought a...

    June 2015 Car Rental

    It seems like prices tend to start dropping about 2-3 weeks before now. Our trip is Monday and our rates didn't start dropping until around May 8th.
