Do you think we should bring a stroller for him to crash in? He hasn't used one in a year or more but just thinking he might need a place to rest. Does anyone else do this with kids this old?

My almost 5 year old hasn't rode in a stroller in probably 2 years outside of the parks, but we take it for him every Disney trip! He even asks me if I remembered his red stroller! Haha! We like to take advantage of Evening EMH, and he has no problems staying up until 11 pm at the parks, as long as he's cruising in his stroller! Haha! Then we sleep in in the mornings and avoid the crazy rope drops!

He's done MNSSHP twice now, once at 2 1/2 and once at 3 1/2, and we closed the parks down both nights!

Thanks! I would be so sad if all the Halloween tees were sold out before the party on the 31st!

I'm getting very excited. I will be going on Sept. 25th. Really wanted to go on B'day the 24rth. But I have this thread and it makes me happy.

After listening to yesterday's podcast, they talked me into going to the party again this year. Since we will not be getting park tickets this year (we are just staying at the world for a few nights prior to our wedding on the Disney Cruise), I wanted to make sure that you DO NOT need a seperate theme park admission to get into the party besides the party ticket. I am pretty sure that all I used last year was the party ticket to get in, but I wanted to confirm this. Last year it wasn't an issue as we had park hopper tickets anyway. I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but 83 pages of this thread is a lot to go through. Thanks in advance!

The adult shirts were $24.95 and the kids were $21.95. They had two different styles available that night.

If you are just going to the party all you need is your MNSSHP ticket. With that ticket you can enter the party at 4:00pm.

Have fun and Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

As mentioned, most are available all night, or are trading with additional characters in the same area. Some of the characters that will come and go, without trading, is the Hag and the Pooh characters. Making them the most difficult to get.

I put together this plan earlier to help someone see what it might look like if you wanted to see all characters.

626 in Tomorrowland starts at 7:00 and runs continuously through the night, with Stitch always being present, and his friends rotating.

Bullseyes Round Up is in Fronteirland, starts at 7:00, and runs continuously

Yep to 626!

As for Round Up - Jessie and Woody should be out all night; Bullseye will be making appearances, but will not be there all night.

Anyone think during the first parade would be a good time to see Mickey and Minnie?

Should I really line up for 7 Dwarves before 6:30? Do they come out right at 7?

The Pooh characters are not out during the parade.

The parade and fireworks are both generally better times to see the mice.

Yes, the dwarfs are expected to be out at 7, Tuesday it was reported that Bashful was having a little problem working up the nerve so they were a little late.

I personally think the earlier the better, wouldn't you rather wait in line before the party instead of during it?

Shouldn't be too difficult, Pooh characters are meeting in a different location with a different background for the picture. Also, the four appear to be meeting together instead of two and two.

We're going on 11/1 as well. Printed out my ticket a few days ago. Am toying with going on the 30th, but I wouldn't be able to get to the park until around 8PM. Is it worth it?

I usually just wear a decorated t shirt and sometimes a hat/ears of some sort. I don't do dress up.... LOL

Thanks, everyone for the reports, photos and input!

Is Tour Guide Gardens the little gazebo area outside before the exposition hall and Tony's?

[Berlioz70]

Tour Guides Garden is next to City Hall (Guest Relations), but there is nothing there during the party?

If you're looking at the character list on the first post, please note that it is outdate. Pooh and Friends are meeting at the flag pole in Town Square.
