"Official" 2015 MNSSHP thread

Every component of our costumes, sans the face make up, is now ordered and should be here within the next 10 days! I'm super excited, our pictures are going to look great.

I'm trying to choose which party we should go to during our trip. We're there 10/24-10/31. I was leaning towards the Sunday party until I read that Tuesday nights could be better. Will they both be just as crowded this late into October or are weeknights still better?

My son has never seen Wishes because it's too late. Buying the party tickets, I was excited that the fireworks would be earlier and I thought my little one might make it. 30 minutes isn't a huge difference for most but with a toddler, it's a BIG difference!

My DD has never seen wishes either. She's going to be 4.5 for the Halloween party. We did mvmcp last year when she was 3.5. She took a long late nap before the party and shockingly made it until almost midnight and she was actually happy. I'm praying we have the same luck this year.....

We are doing the 10/25 party. The Tuesday party is our big princess/BBB/CRT day so no time for my daughter to nap before the party. We did one of the last MVMCP on a Tuesday last year and it was packed. If the party is sold out, it won't matter which night. But even with a sold out party we did everything we wanted!

So did anyone else notice all the villains on the hocus pocus show advertisement?

All the usual suspects plus oogie boogie and Hades. I know I shouldn't let this excite me and it's probably nothing.

But I have to wonder if these 2 will be showing up at mnsshp this year.

I have heard that Hades will be in the castle show.

I think I may stick with my original plan to do the 10/25 party if it won't make much of a difference. Thanks for the input!

I think it'll be fine... Disney is looking to be very crowded that week, but it's Halloween weekend that's looking to be really nuts. My mom just decided to come with us and I had to book her in two different resorts so she could stay 10/24-11/2. Lots of full hotels starting on 10/29, at least in the deluxe range.

How hot is it at night in October? We are going to 2 parties in Oct. Is it too hot to wear real costumes or should I get one of those running costumes? Or just a light costume? We've never been in October before we always go in May. Is it similar in temp? Thanks!

 

[FeralCatRogue]

it really depends when i was there on halloween last year it was very cool, year before in early october it was in the high 80s around midnight.

 

[jacobsmommy]

I have been wondering the same thing. I think my 7yo daughter is the only one wearing an actual costume, but I want to know what type of costume to get her (long sleeves, short sleeves).
We will be there for the party on October 25th.

 

[heywagners]

October really depends. We were there in Oct one year and it was in the 90's still. We are doing short sleeve costumes for our late Sept trip this year.

Anywhere between 60 and 90 has been our experience going mid-October. The average low for the month is 67 and the average high is 87. We're planning cosplay type costumes instead of real costumes to keep it light.

All the parties that week will sell out so which one won't matter much, choose the one that fits your schedule.

 

[bibbidibobbidibecky]

We have been lots in October and it's always H-O-T. I try to keep it as light as possible.

 

[blackpearl77]

Thanks everyone! Lightweight costumes it is! Halloween in New England is always so cold we used to wear our coats under our costumes! Lol now we can finally wear the light costumes and not have to figure out how to layer!

Just in case you missed it, the Happy Hallowishes Dessert Party is available for booking! If you can eat $70 worth of snacks, go book. Lol

Too rich for my taste. And it seems to waste a lot of valuable party time. I'll pass on this.

And the reserved viewing isn't that great, plus I can buy a lot of dessert for $70!

saw it but since it doesn't offer character interaction at all, we won't be going to that. thanks for the info & link!

 

[smitch425]

Personally, I think it's crazy to essentially pay twice to see a parade and fireworks, and I don't know anyone who could eat $70 worth of desserts. I am happy to see that this should keep the hub grass wide open for prime viewing.
