I know you have been waiting for a detailed character/event report so here you go.
I will be making a full detail by detail report of my trip report but for those of you only interested in the party I will only list all the Halloween Party information.
We went to the party twice
First report October 2nd party. Chocolate WAS giving out this night
We got to Magic Kingdom at 3:45 and at 3:50 the CM's started letting party goers in.
We had a Pirate League appointment at 4:00 so we went straight there. We finished around 5:00
After PL we headed for POC ride the line was short and fast 5:03.
Upon leaving POC ride we saw Captain Hook and Mr Smee (across from the POC ride) at 5:35.
We hit Jungle Cruise and Magic Carpet Ride then went straight to the Cinderella's Carriage line (this is located inside the Fantasyland strolling parking across from Peter pan and next to It's a Small world). We were first in line at 6:30. I figured since the photos didn't start till 7:00 i had time to run and get something to drink. I got back at 6:35 and Mom had let a family in front of us because the Photopass people were already taking photos and I was not back yet. We got our photos done at 6:38.
Next we moved on to the Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs line at 6:46 (this is located ACROSS from the entrance to Mad Tea Party. It is marked by a HUGE Mickey Mouse Ghost). I spoke to a CM about some people only getting Dopey with SW at 7 and others getting all of them at 7:30. He said they did that 1 night and it was horrible people were mad so for now on it is ALL of them at 7:30. They also didn't have a photopass person there that night.
While on line waiting for Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum came out (located next to Mad Tea Party) so the people in front of us went to take their photos while mom watched their stuff. Zach and I went on line a couple people behind them. When they were done they watched our stuff and mom came on line with us. We got our photos with the Tweedles at 7:07.
At 7:25 Snow White and ALL the Dwarfs came out. We were about 10 from the front we got our photos taken at 7:37.
Right after SW we moved on to Minnie's line at 7:41 (located in the gazebo behind Minnie's House). The line wasn't that long, we got our photos done by 7:55.
Next was Mickey's line 7:56 (located in the back of Mickey's house just before you go into the judges tent-unlike the MVMCP you go through the house NOT the garage). This line was a little longer than Minnie's we got our photos done at 8:16.
Next we needed to get some trick or treating done so we went down the Alice and Mad Hatter Trick or Treating Trail (located on the path from Toontown to Tomorrowland). As soon as you walk on to the path Alice was on the left, we got our photos done at 8:22.
After some trick or treating we wanted to see Pooh so we headed back to Fantasyland but we spotted Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit where the Tweedles were located earlier (the 2 groups switch on and off) we got our photos done at 8:39.
We got on Pooh's line next at 8:44 (located next to Pooh's thoughtful spot across from Pooh's Adventure ride) but it was Tigger and Piglet. While we were on line waiting for Tigger and Piglet the CM kept saying Tigger and Piglet will be leaving soon and Pooh and Eeyore will be next. we got our photos done at 8:53 with Tigger and Piglet. Right after we were done with Tigger and Piglet we jumped back on line to get Pooh & Eeyore. We got Pooh & Eeyore photos at 9:11.
We really wanted to get Tarzan's photo so we headed toward Adventureland. On our way we figured let's hit Haunted Mansion so we stopped there BUT the ride was down, it wasn't working. We did get our photo done with the Ghost Horse and Carriage in front of Haunted Mansion done. It seemed like there was NO line maybe 3 or 4 families in front of us. We got out photos done about 9:18
After Haunted Mansion photos we went Trick or treating on our way to Adventureland. Zach and I ran into the Diamond Horse Saloon for some treats but noticed Jessie and Bullseye so I put Zach on line and went to the door to get my mom to come in. While on line we let Zach trick or treat to kill some time. There were only about 5 or 6 families in front of us. We got our photos done at 9:33.
After Jessie and Bullseye we took the shortcut from Frontierland to Adventureland between Diamond Horse Saloon and Country Bear Jamboree. We turned the corner to find Tarzan, saw the gazebo and found Genie and Abu at 9:38. Gazebo is located just before the Adventureland bridge going TOWARDS Main Street or just after the bridge coming from Main Street (depends how you are walking into Adventureland).
After we took photos with Genie and Abu we continued onto toward the bridge to Main Street between the gazebo and bridge there is a character area called Adventurers and Friends INSIDE a building (there is a cast member with a Mickey hand and a stand up sign letting you know characters are in there) inside there we ran across Rafiki at 9:40 and King Louie at 9:42 there was NO line at all for either. The next line was Tarzan and Terk at 9:48. There was a line but not a long wait as you can tell from the times.
As you exit this room you trick or treat on the way out. You whined up coming out of a door on the shortcut path from Frontierland to Adventureland. We knew Jasmine and Aladdin were suppose to replace Genie and Abu so we went back to the gazebo to see who was there. It was still Genie and Abu so we jumped on line because we knew they were leaving. At 10:02 we took photos with Jasmine and Aladdin in the gazebo.
After we were done there, we figured the other characters in the Adventurers and Friends would switch too so we walked back inside. This time we found Timon at 10:05 (replacement for Rafiki) and Baloo (replacement for King Louie) at 10:08 again no line. We had time to play around with Baloo. After playing with Baloo we jumped on Jane and Terk's line (replacement for Tarzan and Terk) and photo was at 10:13.
We pretty much did all the characters we wanted to do tonight so we went to see if Haunted Mansion was open. On the way to Haunted Mansion just on the right side of the Liberty Boat the Photopass was there to take photos of us with the hitch hiking ghosts. Haunted Mansion was open and there was no line so we rode that. We still had time to hang so we decided to call upon the Princesses and Fairies. We wondered over to Toontown right in front of Minnies we ran into the Mad Hatter (on his way to visit Alice on the Trick or Treat Trail) so we took photos with him at 11:02. Alice came over to see what was taking Had Hatter so long so we got photos with her and Mad Hatter together at 11:03.
We went into the Tent, the Princess line was a little long so we jumped on the Fairies line first. The ONLY fairy in the room was Tink. We got our photos at 11:16.
Since we still had time before the party ended so we jumped on the Princess line. At 11:38 we saw Princess Aurora with Prince Philip and at 11:41 we saw Cinderella with Prince Charming.
We starting heading out of the park on the bridge from Belle's Storytime a Photopass guy was there to take photos on the side of the castle so we stopped.
We also stopped to have our photos taking in front of the castle.
We stopped at Casey's to grab something to eat and at 12:15 we were on our way out.
-------------------------------------------------
Oct 6th party report NO CHOCOLATE WAS GIVING OUT THIS NIGHT BUT RAISINS WERE. IT WAS WAY 2 HOT FOR CHOCOLATE.
This party was basically for the parties, parade, rides and characters we missed. I can't tell you each photo time because I don't have those loaded in my computer yet.
We were pretty much here all day so I won't bore you with rides before 5 LOL
We had ressies at Crystal Palace at 4:45. We were out and about at 5:40.
After dinner we headed to POC because we were dying from the heat LOL Boy were we glad we did the Pirate League faces on the 2nd because we think the faces would have melted off on this day.
After POC Mom took Zach on Jungle Cruise while I borrowed the "wheels" (mom's scooter) to run to tomorrowland to get the Halloween Party shirts and pins. I got to Mickey's Star Traders (I was told this is the ONLY place to get the shirts) and the only size shirts they had were L and smaller and only FOUR pins left. They told me to go to Frontierland Pin Traders. So I scooted back to Frontierland but the store didn't open to 7:30 so I went to find mom. I used the shortcut to get to Adventureland I found mom and Zach on Magic Carpet Ride. When they got off we went back to the pin store which opened a little early. I bought the Pin Frame set and the 2 Halloween sets.
While in the store my mom grabbed spots for the parade but we decided to trick or treat instead. We hit the Liberty Boat trail, we saw that spooky ghoul walking the boat. He's pretty AWESOME.
Next we rode Peter Pan and Snow White trick or treating all the way. We hit Ariel's Grotto but Zach didn't want to stay (Characters Daisy dressed as a princess and Donald as a pumpkin). This party had A LOT of little ones dancing. We trick or treated in the back of the party (inside the water area to see Ariel during the day) and then headed to Pooh's ride. Just outside of Pooh's ride there was a Trick or treating line but it was long so we hit the ride first. When we came out we hit that trick or treat line.
Next we went to see if Cinderella's stepfamily was out (located in Belle's Storytime area) but they weren't. We saw many many many people watching the parade I made my way to the front of the castle spoke to the CM and asked him where exactly will the Evil Queen line up and that is where i parked my butt LOL. Right after the parade the villain show happened I was first on line for Evil Queen, next we hit Maleficent's line this line was pretty long. While on line the CM's kept yelling 7 minutes, 5 minutes and so on. We didn't think we would make it but we did. So we decided let's try for another Villain. We jumped on Captain Hook's line. We made that too.
Right after this we watched Hallowishes and then as everyone was leaving the front of the castle area mom parked her scooter at the curb to save us some parade spots. While I waited for the next Villain show. I placed myself right in front of where Jafar would be lining up. After the Villain show we were first for Jafar then jumped on Frollo's line. The CM I talked to earlier told me Frollo's line is never long. We were on and off those 2 lines so fast that we had time to jump on Cruella DeVil's line. Woohoo we got ALL the Villains within 2 shows.
After getting all the Villains we headed to our parade spots. The headless horseman came by to quick for me to grab a photo but DON'T MISS HIM. I think he came by 7-10 minutes before the parade but err on the side of caution and get there early.
The parade was AWESOME don't miss this either.
After the parade I grabbed Zach's hand fought the crowd and headed to the Stepfamily area. Mom scooted behind me and kept up. We were there before the stepfamily showed up. We weren't long on the line after they did show up. Zach wanted to do more trick or treating so we headed back to Alice and Mad Hatter Trick or treating trail. On the way Zach wanted to do the Tea Cups. I get sick on spin rides so I let him go alone for the first time. We were the 2nd family on the line. This ride was deserted at this time of night.
After the Tea Cups and trick or treating at Alice and Mad Hatter Trail we walked through tomorrowland to do some trick or treating there. We ran into the party there. I found this party WAY better than the one at Ariels' Grotto. It was more lively. We did some dancing and took photos with Stitch, chip and Dale in their cool costumes. After some dancing we trick or treated on the Carousel of Progress ramp. Just as we came down the ramp mom spotted Buzz in the Galaxy Palace Theater (located behind Buzz Lightyear ride).
We were heading out of the park just before 12:00.
As soon as I upload the photos to my computer I will upload some character photos so you can check everyone out. I believe between the 2 parties we saw EVERY character. The only ones we didn't get photos with were Donald and Daisy there were just to many little ones in the way.
Just a note on Oct 9th I went to town hall and explained that I went to the party TWICE and on both days they didn't have the size shirts I needed. The CM told me to bring in my Party ticket and bracelet to the Emporium and they will sell me the shirts.
So on Oct 10th at 3:00 I brought in a ticket and a bracelet from each party and went to the Emporium they DID sell me 4 XXL Shirts.
I know a CM mentioned that they were only selling 2 of each pin to people. I bought the frame set so it didn't matter to me LOL
I hope this report helps eveyone find whoever they are looking for.
I will be making a full detail by detail report of my trip report but for those of you only interested in the party I will only list all the Halloween Party information.

I did get several cute pics at the dance party with Chip and Dale. My kids also got their faces painted and that was quite a wait.
AWESOME REPORT!!! You got your photo with sooo many characters!! 
i also attended the party twice and had a BLAST! I wish i would have been patient enough to wait in all of those lines to get my pic taken. i only went to the villians mix n' mingle and got my pic taken with malificent (my fav!!), jafar, the evil queen, and cruella
