Hi! We'll be at WDW during mid-October, and there are 3 MNSSHPs while we are there! Sun 10/18, Tues 10/20, and Thurs 10/22. I think we are going to try for Tuesday night... But I'm not sure!

You can see the rest of our plans for the week in my pre-trip report: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=33407360
Let me know over on that thread what you think!! Thanks!

So...is this the thread to check out late Friday night? I'd love to have party details before we leave!

Gargoyle? Who is this gargoyle I read about in the recap post? Is this a living character or just a cool photo op? I cannot wait!

I downloaded the Boo To You parade song and can't stop listening to it hahaha so excited!

How and where did you find it to download?? I have been looking for that song for ages! I normally use iTunes but was unable ti find it there!

I have a couple of things to add...

If you're going through the candy lines and don't have a bag, the CMs will give you one...even if you say that you don't want one. I got tired of carrying mine and was planning on sharing my then-boyfriend's candy...but every time I would go through a line, someone would hand me a bag!

Also, DRESS UP! You get so much attention from the characters...even the ones in the parade, when you are dressed like a Disney character. We had awesome Alice, Mad Hatter, and Queen of Hearts costumes and we had characters pointing and waving, and even had Jasmine and Alladin say "Alice! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Wonderland?!" While they were dancing by us!! It makes the experience super magical.

I'd answer yes to that! I'm sure the people who go to the first party will be posting something for the rest of us who are anxiously awaiting their turn!

That's awesome...I'm gonna try to buy the CD early on the day of the party...they sold out last year!

yes, yes, pictures, please! I know someone mentioned this a few pages back, but I'm also especially interested in seeing the face paintings that are available. Could someone take a picture of the display board and post it here?

Thanks!

where is the Boo to You parade download? I would like to hear it....I'm so excited about my trip...I wish I can go twice to the event so I don't miss anything..because I don't want to miss character opportunities..my son and I won't do any rides but I want to do the mix and mingles...

does anyone know if they sell the mickey mouse pumpkin candy holder there at the park? I saw an ad for the MNSSHP...and a little girl had it in her hand?

Wow, thanks so much for this thread, it's great for us newbies. We have tickets for MNSSHP on 10/18 -- I'm getting even more excited reading this thread!! We also have ressies for the wishes dessert buffet that night, and I think I read elsewhere that the fireworks are around 9:30 -- question, how long are the fireworks? Just wondering, as I want to make sure we see the 2nd parade as well, including the headless horseman....

only 45 days to go

nala1128 - I will be waiting on pins and needles to hear how it went! I'll be thinking of it all Friday nite, lol.

missesdisney - IF I am thinking right they may be referring to the old Disney tv animated series Gargoyles which didn't last long but is still pretty popular. It was a great show with a star cast of voice actors. OR - the gargoyles from Hunchback? But I've never seen or heard of them in the parks....

Maybe the Gargoyle is Chernabog from Fantasia...he appears in spectromagic!

DS loves that word. The Magic Kingdom book was his bedtime story of choice for a while, and that word stuck out for him.
