I'm finally back from my trip. We went to the October 1st party. Weather was good, but the crowds for the parade were absolutely nuts! I staked out a spot 45 minutes early to the right of one of the pillars at the top of the stairs at Diamond Horseshoe. I watched the crowd grow and grow, it was crazy! 5 minutes after the parade started a fairly tall teenage girl walked directly in front of me and stood on a small ledge between the plantar and handrail for the stairs. There was no way this was a safe spot, but either no Disney employee noticed or cared. My view was now blocked. Thank you to miss inconsiderate.
Please be respectful of those around you. It's amazing how many rude people there are in the world.
When we went to Main Street for Hallowishes, I was shocked at the low crowd level! I actually sat in the middle of main street, near the bakery and watched the show, and no one blocked my view! There was plenty of room all down Main Street! On our night the parade was far more popular than the fireworks! Maybe because they are later this year, some people aren't staying?
I had wanted to purchase a poison apple mug, and while I DID see them, There was so much to do, I thought I'd just get one later in my trip. I was not aware these were a party only item, so I was not successful in obtaining one later on.
