Is it worth going to this...it will be myself, DH and DD (20 months).

Thanks!

Well, I think it depends why you're going.
If it's to squeeze in a few more rides I would say no. Not every attraction is open and there could be lines. If you are going on the weekend or close to Halloween it can get quite crowded, more people that you might think they would sell tickets to.

If it's the idea of trick or treating the MK then I would say no. The Candy the give out is mostly lolipops and toosie roll type things, and the lines can be long and sort of impersonal. They have a few designated stations where you line up to get your treat - you do not go from storefront to storefront on Main Street saying "Trick or Treat!" like I had originally (and perhaps naively) invisioned.

However - I continue to go back year after year because of the different twist it gives to our visit to WDW. I love seeing everyone dressed up, especially the adults... some get so creative with their homemade costumes. It creates a special holiday atmosphere and people seem to be more freindly, chatting with others about their costumes and such.
There's a special themed parade that kicks off with the Headless Horseman riding down Main Street - all the Characters are in Halloween costumes - Main Street it self is decked out all spooky....a special firework show and the Ghost Stories told in Liberty Square are what keeps us going back to MNNSHP.

Thanks...

We would go mainly for the experience...fireworks, parade, etc...just because we've never been (and I don't know when we'll get back).

We're going to Disney 9/30- 10/7...so early.

YES IT'S WORTH IT! Dh and I go every year (for the last 3 years anyway) and it's fabulous! The parade, fireworks, costumes, trick-or-treating, characters....it's the most fun thing WDW does IMO. I love it. Go. Have a blast.

Thanks sunny04...I'm really considering it....it would be something new and different...

I would have to agree with ImaginEar about not going for rides, candy and it can be crowded. We really did enjoy the parade,costumes,fireworks and atmosphere. I love Halloween so I'd go back and recommend trying it at least once.

We like to go in October, just for the party!
We LOVE it! Myself, DH and the kids! We love to go all out and get in costume etc. There are lots of characters, trick or treating, great fireworks. Well worth the extra money! IMO, I would not miss the chance to go the party!

I consider it a not to be missed experience. The shows, parades and fireworks are amazing, not to mention all the extra characters that are out and about. We ended up going twice.

We went a couple of years ago when DS was an infant and had a blast. We would go back again if we can get our schedules to sync up right.
