We attended our first MNSSHP on 9/30 and had a great time. The fireworks were the best ones I've ever seen at Disney. The parade was also very good-but beware-the horseman rides down the parade route at 7:50 before the 8:00 parade. My DH was getting burgers and missed him. We really enjoyed the evening. Crowds were light, lots of great costumes. We were amazed at how many adults were in costumes. Fireworks were the best part of the night. A truly magical experience.
We were there on 9/30 as well and had a great time! I will add, however, that both my DH and I thought the park was much more crowded this time than the previous two years that we have attended MNSSHP. I was very surprised and the number of people. I think the difference this year was the fact that this was a Friday night party. Previous years were Sunday and Tuesday nights. We decided if we attend next year to avoid Friday nights.
The fireworks were indeed spectacular! We also enjoyed the "stage" show put on by DJ BB Wolf and the other villains in front of the castle. Wish I could find a recording of that music. That was fun!
This was our second year for the party and again had a great time. DD dressed at tinkerbell but we did not dress up (way too hot for us). I thought it would be a lot more crowded being the first night. DD is afraid of fireworks so we ducked into Mickey's house while that was going on. And we missed the parade!! We totally forgot about it. Got a ton of good candy this year (much better than last year). We ate at CRT for dinner and sat next to a group dressed as Alice and the the gang from the tea party. They were a lot of fun.
