We will be going for the MNSSHP in October from the 13th through the 18th. As a matter of fact, we will be attending 2 of the MNSSHP's(Oct 13th and 16th). We can not wait!!!
My wife and I did MNSSHP in 2000 without kids.....I was 30 at the time. We had a blast.......even went trick or treating. We didn't have costumes per se, we both had Halloween sweatshirts on. Most people did have some sort of Halloween attire. It was a great time!
If you keep checking the boards the day the tickets go on sale
will be here on the DIS.The word spreads like wildfire once someone gets through!
Halloween night and the weekend nights around it are the parties that are usually sold out a few weeks in advance.I don't think you'll have any problem with purchasing tickets for Sept 30th. By the night of a party especially the closer it gets to Halloween parties do tend to sell out.I think ALOT of people that visit WDW don't know about MNSSHP until they are actually at their resorts and see info about it,then they purchses tickets.
You and DH will have a BLAST! Grab a trick or treat bag and take some goodies home for your kids!! Of course save the chocolates for yourselves!
