MNSSHP - A Couple of Questions

[shm_helene]

I've read the entire Official Boards for the last two years, but here are some things I'm unsure about (me, DH, DD5 and DD7):

(1) So...I know you can get your bands and do they treat bag @ main street @ 4. We only have a party ticket, so that is when we will be entering. Is it advisable to just go into the park without going through the madness that seems to exist at 4 and get the band at another location or come back to the Main St location and get it later? (I posted this on the Official board but I didn't hear anything so I thought I would try here)

(2) Other than seeing the castle projections any thoughts on seeing Hallowishes from the left of Casey's vs. behind the castle

(3) I feel like the 7-8 hour is going to be the busiest time (wrong?) and I'm trying to get a plan for that time frame. Some things I've thought of: (1) Dance party - though it might be a tad hot at that time, (2) Movies in Philharmagic, (3) Cadaver Dans (not sure this will be my kids thing though). Any other thoughts?

Our priorities are (1) Rides, (2) ToT (I know, do this later in the evening), (3) Parade (though I can see it from afar - I've heard Frontierland and 2nd parade), (4) Hallowishes.

TIA!

This is the only one I can answer. If you're entering the park with your party ticket, you'll have to line up with all the others entering the park with their party ticket. It's usually to the right, but you won't miss it. Once they scan you in, you get your wristband before you even enter the park, so I assume you get your treat bag then too. If you're going in at 4:00, you'll have to join the madness.
