My kids really liked it, simply because of the amazing amount of candy they walked away with. The party is a blast, especially the area around the Haunted Mansion. I wasn't as blown away by the parade as many are. If we did it again, I'd use the time to hit more rides as the lines are pretty non-existent during the parades and fireworks. Now you won't get your $$$s worth in candy alone, but the ability to hit a lot of rides in a short time, cool magic shots, and fun theming make it worthwhile for us. But seriously, bring your own (large) bag to take home all the candy you'll get. Really
