Based on this itinerary, you could do this during Moana. Remember, someone has to stay there to hold your spot. Maybe you could go there for 30 minutes and when you get back your husband can take the kids Trick or Treating.

Thanks for the tip

Does hp show happen at 12 I thought the party ends at this time?

I see you @michele zenga! I also saw all the likes and what I noticed was how quickly they all came in. I think you should slow down and start reading each post on the MAIN page, starting with:

Post #2: Itinerary Guidelines for Creating & Posting

When your done move onto Post #3 through Post #8. It's going to take you time but at least you'll know how to plan your party. All the information are in these posts.

If you're not interested in creating an itinerary then move onto Post #3

LOVE THIS! Thank you! I have those times for 4:30-5:30 Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise for 5:30-6:00.

Should we do Headless Horseman magic shot after the last Hocus Pocus show? Will it still be available to do ? I would love to be one of the last ones leaving to get that 'empty' shot I always see people posting!

 

[FoxC63]

Add those FP's to your itinerary. That way we can see how your plan flows. If there's an issue it will be revealed.
Yes. We have confirmed reports from 2017 that this particular Magic Shot was still available after Hocus Pocus. So be sure you're not tied into the crowd while watching the show. A line will form for the Headless Horseman.

Yes, you’ll be able to get the HH shot at the end of the night. Just know that it’s outside the park, not on Main Street, so you won’t have the “empty” park behind you.

 

[FoxC63]

Fox-thank you for all your assistance and I hope you have a wonderful trip at DL..

Thank you buddy!

And thanks for posting Mr. Handsome, we really need that!

In the meantime..I think I’ll binge-watch LOST because it has been a while.

Really nice job, though a lot of characters and no time for dedicated Trick or Treating as a family which is sad to see and hardly any rides, bummer. Again, I have no clue how old your kids are. Lots to think about.

I cannot say 100% that BTMRR will be closed during the party after 6pm. Granted, it's not on WDW List of Open Attractions but it's not on the Fall Refurbishment List either. I cannot imagine why Disney would shut down this popular ride after 6pm, it doesn't make sense. I do know from experience and historical data that one of these mountain rides have been on the Fall Refurbishment List during MNSSHP and the ride would be closed 24/7. That's why I hesitate it just doesn't add up. We'll know soon enough.

I thought I read this was your first visit to MK. I don't know where that came from but I apologize. Again, I see nothing wrong with your plan. You've left plenty of time to get from Point A to Point B for your entire group. Have a great trip!

OH I hope they keep BTMRR open at night. It's my favorite time to ride it! So much different than during the day!

I agree! After many years we finally rode it for the first time last year during the party and we LOVED it. Way better than Splash. Hate the idea of getting wet during the last week of October, it can get pretty cold so no thanks!

Fully agree! I hate being wet...and if I'm wet and cold - forget it. No way.
