How do you even get 14 bags home? It would put my suitcase over the weight limit.

As Jack Skellington would say:. Looks like another successful Halloween season is in the books.

I'll see everyone back on the 2017 thread. I imagine it'll be showing up in oh... Maybe another month or so

Now I just need to decide if I'm transferring over to the mvmcp, even though I'm not attending this year.

I was pleasantly surprised by our sold out party experience on Sunday night! Didnt seem at all sold out to us. We had a blast and will definitely do the 2nd to last party again next year.

Thanks to everyone on this thread who helped us come up with a solid game plan.

Not sure how accurate, but on our way to the MVMCP last year, the boat driver told us that a sold out party is about 25 or 30K.

He said really crowded days are usually around 80K.

I am really going to miss this thread. It's been so great getting tips on my 1st MNSSHP. Looking forward to doing it again next year and sharing more tips and fun with you all.

I loved being a part of this thread! Next year I think we'll try MVMCP but then in 2018 I'm planning to do another October long weekend with two MNSSHP!

Yes, very successful! I enjoyed my 1st MNSSHP!

2017 Thread, another month or so. Not quite. I need a little break. Ha!

Now that halloween is behind us I just wanted to thank @monique5 for her efforts and time to keep the first page updated for this event.

Thank YOU! My family enjoyed our time on Sunday and Monday (Halloween) at MNSSHP.

Trip started poorly for me by being in the hospital and postponing the start of trip, but airports were amazing at not charging us. Oddly enough Disney was the only one who refused to easily refund us even with discharge papers. The party on Halloween was great not busy at all and they were amazing at removing non wristband people. Since I was feeling poorly we sat near where Snow White was and she was the wristband checker and was sending anyone without one away. We got to see higher up people have to escort people who refuse to leave. The desert party was not worth it it was insanely crowded table was so close together that was impossible to move and there was one table that I don'tsee how they expected to seat anyone at unless slenderman was deciding to dine. I have some awesome pictures from the party though there was an amazing photopass guy that was doing glamour shots of people he did like 40 of me. all and all not a bad party had a lot of fun great view of fireworks and castle and parade i was so close I thought the shovel sparks were gonna hit me. While leaving there was a bunch of cm's and a guy with a camera who wanted my picture no idea who he was but he seemed to work as part of disney.

Just wanted to report back and say that MNSSHP on Halloween night was FANTASTIC!!! Magic Kingdom had low crowds all day We were afraid the Park was going to be packed since it opened at 7am, but we arrived at 1:30pm for our first FastPass and were pleasantly surprised! We were actually able to get in additional rides before and after dinner! It was a wonderful experience! We were in Tomorrowland when the Party started so we Trick or Treated at 2 spots there, then cut through Fantasyland into Liberty Square (Trick or Treating all the way) and lined up for the Parade at 7:30pm. Great viewing spot in front of the Hall of Presidents (Thank you fellow Disers!) After the Parade we went against the flow and into Adventureland for more Trick or Treating and rode Pirates, then Splash. As we were coming off of Splash Mt. the fireworks were starting . We then rode It's A Small World and headed down Main Street to take our tired little ones back to the hotel. Saw the Headless Horseman ride down Main Street for the second Parade then headed out. I'm sure it all depends on what your priorities are whether you think it's super crowded or not. We did not get Character signatures and we tried to stay away from the Hub and Main Street. There were 15 of us and we don't expect to be back for quite a while, but I'm glad we got to experience it

Thanks everyone who contributed to this thread! We went to 3 parties, October 18, 20 and 27th. We had a perfect time at all of them. We got on all rides we wanted with little or no wait, had a front row seat for the parade, great view of the fireworks, wish I would have taken more photo pass pics., and even got plenty of candy in between (characters and candy weren't a priority). So much fun

This thread has helped me plan for our trip next year! We can't wait for MNSSHP 2017! (Fingers crossed for Thursdays in September!)

We're going to the Christmas party next month and I had a question about the parade. Did anyone here ever try to watch the 2nd Boo to You parade from the dessert party parade viewing area? Was that even an option?

 

[Jays2013]

We're not going to the party until next year (Halloween day...gulp), but I was wondering. Does Goofy do meet and greets during the party in a costume?

I ask because older son loves Goofy and will be dressing up as him. Otherwise, we probably won't bother with characters that night.

Yes but it's the same costume he meets in during the day (Great Goofini).

Thanks to those who responded! He won't mind that in the slightest. He just loves Goofy.

Yes, we watched the 2nd parade there on October 14th. It's only reserved for the first parade.

Is it possible to get back into the park after the parade or should you only use that viewing spot if you intend to leave afterward?

I'm not sure I understand the question, as the area by the flagpole IS inside the park? For sure, a lot of people leave afterward, as the parade won't pass by that spot until about 11:50, but we've gone against the crowd for one last ride before with no problem.
