Hello-
Just booked some crazy CHEAP airline tickets to FL for Labor Day Weekend- yahoooo!
The kids want to do Seaworld/Aquatica and Legoland- so we are staying offsite and taking advantage of a very reasonable kids stay free package deal at a SeaWorld Partner Hotel.
We will be there 5 nights here is the tentative plan:
Friday- Arrive late- sleep!
Saturday- SeaWorld
Sunday- Legoland (we are renting a car)
Monday- MNSSHP?????
Tuesday- Aquatica
Wednesday- Depart mid afternoon
So- the trip was to do Legoland and SeaWorld, but we had an "open day" and I am the resident Disney fanatic who would hate to go all the way to Orlando and not visit a Park- plus I really would like to ride the Mine Train.
The most economical thing to do was do MNSSHP- it's "cheaper" than a one day ticket to the MK for the 4 of us.
That said, I have some questions about MNSSHP- we would be going on Labor Day- the first night.
Questions:
-What are lines like for the rides typically at the parties? Do MOST people go for the party/meet and greet/ trick or treat/ dance party stuff?
-What do you think about the Mine Train at MNSSHP? Think it will be open for the party? Will there be Fastpass (new) or no Fastpass for this ride that night? Hoping there will NOT be.
I know some of these questions are hard to answer b/c it's a new attraction, and we just don't REALLY know if there will still be 2+ hour wait times for it at MNSSHP, but just wondering if any sites are speculating about what it's going to be like at the hard ticket parties.
Anyone want to speculate or advise? We are going MOSTLY to ride the rides (I know they ALL are not open) and to soak up a little Halloween atmosphere, take in the parade and fireworks and dress up too, but we have one night at WDW and really will be "doing" the park and riding the rides as much as possible.
