Help with MNSSHP

Could someone please tell me about this? The pros and the cons? We have never been to Disney this time of the year and don't know much about it. Any information would be helpful Thanks!

Here's a link to all the MNSSHP info you can imagine.

I don't know of any cons. It's great fun if you love Halloween. It's the only place at WDW to see the Halloween parade and decorations and music. You wouldn't believe how it transforms and how fast they do it!

2005 Dates:
September 30
October 2, 6, 7, 11, 13, 16, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30 & 31

7:00 p.m. - Midnight

Dates are subject to change.

Halloween at the Magic Kingdom is one of the most unique parties hosted by Disney. Come out for an evening of fun and see all your favorite Characters dressed up in their costumes. Watch for Cast Members from the Haunted Mansion. They are roaming the park, looking for new tenants perhaps...? Eek!

A special Halloween Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks show will light up the sky. It is a perimeter display and Tinkerbell is replaced by a witch! Oh My! The one and only Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parade will make it's way down Main Street USA, past all those ghostly shadows flying along the buildings. (Watch for the Headless Horseman.) The parade is shown twice. Unique floats include a Villains Float, Haunted Mansion Float, and Hades Float. The fog is thick, so watch your step. BOO!

The decor of the evening is hay bales, cornstalks, balloons, and jack o lanterns... everywhere! Upon arriving guests receive a Trick-or-Treat bag with a few goodies, and can go to designated locations throughout the Magic Kingdom for even more treats. Get your picture taken with Mickey's Halloween background and receive a free 5x7 in the mail thereafter.

Also featured; Halloween Riverboat Ride, A special Boo-To-You Parade for the little ones, face painting, pumpkin carving demonstrations, Fortune Tellers in Adventureland, and Donald's Pumpkin Patch.

Most attractions will remain open all night!
