My original plan was to go on Oct 11...the day after Columbus Day. Now I see they are also having a party on Monday the 10th (Columbus Day). The 10th actually fits in better with our schedule since we won't arrive at Disney until around 2pm (why waste a park ticket if we can do the party that night). I'm just wondering if you think it will be significantly busier on the 10th than the 11th?....with the holiday.

Thanks...

How busy a party is really depends on the day after. If it's a work/school day, crowds tend to be lower.

I've read reports in years past of the party on Columbus Day being less busy. Not sure if that's still the case. But since there is work/school the following day, I'd say it would be ok. I'd just pick whichever fit my schedule better.

The Tuesday party of Columbus week was a new addition last year. Previously, they skipped both the Sunday and Tuesday parties in favor of Monday. In 2014, all of the parties that week sold out, but the addition of Tuesday in 2015 helped and none of the weekday parties sold out. Unfortunately, there's really no way to predict what crowd levels will be like, but I expect overall park crowds that week to increase, as they have each year. I would go with the date that fits your schedule the best.

ETA: Columbus Day also sold in in 2013
 
Do we think we'll get any futher clarification from Disney regarding the costume rules? I'm still trying to debate if these rules mean "Hey, no princess dress at all" or if it just means "don't let your dress drag on the ground so it could trip someone".

You can wear a princess dress as long as it isn't hitting the ground. The ground rule has always been a rule. I suspect they want your feet shown so they can see if your shoes look like they could be concealing something.

I'm pretty sure it means "don't trip people." Which, to be honest, is a good thing. There are many reasons the face princesses still have handlers in-park, and the trailing dresses in crowds are definitely on the list.
 
We went to the party last year mid October. It was too freaking hot to wear a long costume.
 
I'm just debating which party to attend - I've narrowed it down to October 28 (Friday) or October 30 (Sunday). The 28th is likely to be more crowded, since it's on a weekend which means more locals attend...but Oct 30 is closer to halloween so might be busier. I don't know what to do!
 
Im planning on going Oct 31- Nov 6th. Planning on going to the party on Oct 31st so we can stay until Nov 5th which is my 30th bday. Are we crazy to go to the party on halloween? Also, if i book soon will i be able to still get discounts on the hotel if they are offered? SO EXCITED

It's definitely a safety issue with moving walkways. Capes and long dresses do not get along well with escalators and moving walkways

That close to Halloween, they'll both most likely sell out.

They will all sell out. Just pick whichever fits your schedule best.

Nope. We plan to go on Halloween. I think it's exciting to be at the MK on Halloween.

Try having full face/hand make up on AND a long dress/long sleeved costume. Even with setting/sealing spray I had to reapply it multiple times and anything i touched it came off on. Not fun when your costumes not even drycleanable....

You looked awesome though! I did not know it at the time, but we were behind you in line a little bit back for Jack & Sally. My husband was Mike from Monsters Inc and I was Sulley. We had long sleeves and we were so hot! I had a homemade tutu with sewed on dots and striped knee socks. Don't know if you noticed us or not. :) It was a great night but we burned up, but I refused to take off our themed hoodies as they made the costumes, with the horns on the hoods. Thought I was going to have a heat stroke though. I had a blast dancing at the dance party with Sulley, he loved my costume and spent a whole song dancing with just me haha!
 
We were a band of pirates last year, this Alice in Wonderland Characters :)
 
Does anyone know if all the merch is available the first few parties? I think I remember seeing the Hocus Pocus magicbands being released mid October, so people who went to the earlier parties couldn't get them. Is this common?

I'm super excited to get some merchandise, hopefully some new Hocus Pocus things will be released, but I'm nervous about picking our date.

Same here. We plan to do 2 parties. It's between 10/28 & 10/30. I'm leaning towards 10/30 since Sunday.
