Back from our weekend trip and in serious withdrawal! Did parties on both 10/14 and 10/16 and thought crowds were very light at both. Managed to accomplish everything we wanted to do at the parties, except meet the Tweedles (since DS5 refused once he saw that they met with the "Queen with the mad face" - LOL).
Friday night we arrived at the park around 5, rode 7DMT with our FP then headed to a 5:30 ADR at Skipper's Canteen. Unfortunately, we waited 30 minutes to be seated (!) so got a bit of a late start to the party. Our plan had been to head right to Jack Sparrow after dinner, but we ended up missing the cut off for his first set. So we rode Pirates instead, did some ToT'ing in Adventureland, then were 2nd in line for his 2nd set. After that we rode HM, did the magic shot there, more ToTing then got a spot in the plaza gardens for CTM and Hallowishes. Lots of room still around 9:45. After the fireworks, moved to Fantasyland for trick or treating, picked up poison apple steins at Gaston's, magic shot by LM (and rode the ride). Then ToT in Tomorrowland, rode Space Mountain, met Lotso (10 minute wait) and grabbed a curbside spot for the second parade at the end of Main Street around 11:00. Got out HH magic shot on our way out (though no HH in our photo - so need to contact them!).
Sunday night we had a 4:15 ADR at BOG then headed directly to dwarf line. Arrived around 5:30 and were maybe 15 parties ahead of us. They came out right at 6:15 and we were done by 6:30. Headed directly to the Pooh M&G, maybe 10th in line, made their first set no problem. Were done by 7:30. Jumped on the Tea Cups right there, then went to meet Snow White. She had NO LINE!! Had such a great interaction (we were dressed as Snow, Evil Queen and 2 dwarfs). PP photog took 40 pictures at the M&G!! Also could have had a second row seat for the first parade down most of Main Street - I was shocked. We watched the HH ride, then hit up some rides (Pirates, HM, small world) and more ToTing. We also caught the Hocus Pocus show somewhere in there and watched Hallowishes from behind the castle - then jumped right on SDMT with perhaps a 15 minute wait. Rode Pooh then grabbed snacks and caught the 2nd parade again. Passed Jack & Sally around 11 and there were only about 20 people in line (but we met them 2 years ago, so didn't stop). Also noticed about a 10 minute wait for Tarzan, Jane and Terk around 8:30, but kids had no interest in stopping.
All in all, thought the crowd levels were great and we got a lot accomplished. Feel free to ask any questions! Here are a few pics, too!
