And the other part of our group (with two adults and two young teens) managed 23 lbs. We were not intentionally trying to hoard candy, but we definitely stopped at a station when we saw one! 
.... but remember that was two years ago, not last year. 
I think we would need 2 backpacks! Maybe we should bring the 2.8Nephew...then we would have his stroller....hmmm......
ok so my next question might sound dumb and i don't know if anyone will know the answer but how do you get that much candy home on an airplane? do you check it in your luggage? but there is a weight limit. or do you just carry it on the plane with you and look kinda crazy carrying big bags of candy?
If you can carry on an extra bag then I would get a tote size bag to carry it on with. You might pack one from home (empty) in your luggage to use.My DD11 and I went for the first time last year. We collected almost 20 lbs. of candy! Of course we didn't really ride any rides. Since we have AP we were fine skipping that. We watched the first parade (I knew Pluto), watched the fireworks, and went around collecting as much candy as we could! We had a blast-we were on a mission! I brought along a back pack to put all our haul in.
This year, if we go again (hope to though we are going to WDW from 10/8 to 10/18) I want to top last year's total. I plan on getting more of the healthy snacks too-especially the Craisins. My 2.8 nephew loved them and ate them for months after.
We did the one at WDW several years ago (more like 3 or 4) and we were very disappointed in their candy selection. No name brands to speak of. The stuff we got at DLR was top notch. We gave a lot of it away on Halloween to our trick or treaters.
Perhaps you saw our pictures....
Mickey's Halloween Party candy haul 2010
The whole haul!
Close up of our haul
Just like when I was a kid, I had to bag like items together. I even weighed them.
Maybe this year I can get my Dsis to go as well and get over 30#.
That is a lot! We were there last year as well, but there is no way I'm ever taking that much candy on the plane home with us, so we just hit a couple lines and my kids are stoked cuz they never get candy so even 10 is the mother lode!
If you are staying on property, you can order these:
If you are staying on property, you can order these Mickey pumpkin buckets to be in the room when you arrive. They are the same buckets sold in the parks and hotels, but filled with stuff. These cost about 500 zillion dollars each, but I think you can get just the bucket for like $12?
2009 was the one year they gave out poor quality candy. The years before and since have been name brand candy.
