Is anyone else travelling down for Halloween this Year?

[ahalla]

Maybe we should have a Canadian Halloween Party prior to the trick or treating in DTD on Halloween Day
Canadian Candy (aka Smarties) for the kids
Drinks for the adults

I think this would be a really fun idea, but how would you go about organizing it?

I might be behind in news, but I just read that Disney cancelled a few of the dates for MNSSHP, so now the only time the event is on during Halloween week is 27th and 31st, which is kind of a bummer. I think Im going to have to get our tickets soon, I am afraid that the 27th is going to sell out just as fast at the 31st.

I just checked the website and it looks like they cancelled the 29 & 30th. We had picked the 27th in hopes that it wouldn't be too busy! Considered November 1st when they added that date but it looks like they cancelled that one as well!

I was actually considering going on Nov 1st, because i was really starting to think that it was going to be the least busy day of the week...Im really afraid that the 27th is going to be even more busy than halloween day, which sucks, because I was looking forward to low crowds... not sure if we are going to go now

We booked this trip specifically so we would be in MK on the 31st! Thought it would be really exciting for the kids. We are arriving in WDW on the 29th, and leave on Nov. 1st for a Disney Cruise!
For those who have already purchased tickets, how much are they this year? And are they still discounted for advance purchases? (even for the 31st?)

Just ordered our tickets tonight for 31.
4 adult tickets with tax, $286.64(US)
No advance purchase discount for this night. When I when AAAAHHHH, the CM informed me that the 27th was not a Premium night, and therefore cheaper, perhaps I was interested in that night.
I had thought about that night, but now that they have cancelled some other dates that week, I think it will be just as busy, and I will just suck-up the extra $48(US) to be there on the actually Halloween.
The real tick-off is it will be $14(US) to ship 4 small tickets in an envelope.
I asked if I could just pick the tickets up at will call, I was told they don't do that so far ahead, as the tickets are often misplaced, and they have other problems sometimes
I was told because they are shipping to Canada(read 3rd world country), they only ship express.
2 years ago, we did MVMCP, and I know we picked up the tickets at guest relations before we went in.
Sounds like a scam to get yet more of my money to me, but like a good Canadian, I sucked it up, and gave my credit card.

I'm rethinking the MNSSHP on the 27th now too, since they cancelled the other parties that week except for 31st. I was kinda counting on it not being that busy, but looks like now there will be a good chance it will sell out. I'm going to hold off buying and see what happens. Maybe they will add those parties back in if ticket sales are good. Plus if I order later, they may do the 'will call' pick up, because that shipping is outrageous!!

tickets went on sale last Friday for all dates

Im also going to hold off on getting the tickets to see if they might add another date on, if not I might just do a Family Pirate Cruise for my son the day before Halloween. If I do plan on going Im going to see if I can just ship it to my Ex-husband in Virginia and get him to mail them up or bring them with him when he comes to visit his son.
Have you all bought your tickets for the 27th already?

We get off the Disney Magic cruise ship on the 31st. havent decided if we are heading to the World for the MNSSHP or not.

I was just on the Disney website and it looks like they added October 29 & 30, November 1 parties back on the schedule!

It's a little less for those of us who are planning on going on the 27th!

We'll be there from October 18th - 28th, hopefully we'll attend MNSSHP as we did in 2007 and it was a blast!
