Who else is going? Date & time?

Can't stop this feeling!

9 days until MNSSHP (9/30) and 10 days to Club Villain (10/1/)! So excited. Also I now have this song stuck in my head.

Thank you! It would stink to be sick while on vacation so I totally agree.

Does anyone know how late Capt. Jack meets at the party? Kenny's character locator shows until 10:30pm. I was hoping he met later than that.

Will we be ODD man out if we don't wear costumes to the party???

Do they do the Kiss Goodnight at the end of the Halloween parties?

Yes, but the anecdote that this was in reference to was a poster stating that they had simply been stopped by a CM in the street while exiting the park and offered tickets to a future party date. The guest did not visit GR. This was quite different and less "quiet" than what has been customary practice.

Yes, I got that.

Was sharing my exerience that GS has allowed people to switch their dates if the one they picked was a likely wash out as to weather forecast...i.e., could do so few days ahead without ever entering the party. Naturally, YMMV

However, it's something for newbies to think about if it would suit their purposes better to move party date back vs forward, as to likely inclement weather, never hurts to ask.

Carry on

So true. This is the first time I ever heard of a guest being "approached" by a CM and giving them tickets to another party. Very interesting.

Indeed, wondering if the line was already so long @ GS, they decided to 'catch' people as they streamed out of park.

Regardless, a nice gesture for tix that are stated non-refundable.

Glad I have a boy. Yowza!

They have a lovely option for boys @ PoC lol. GD did it for for both mermaid and pirate, loved it far better than princess outings where she said the hairdo gave her a headache lol

Will we be ODD man out if we don't wear costumes to the party???

Nope, it's all good. Have seen couples actually dress up to the max like stereotypical Disney tourists...a riot.

I just realized I will be at the first party for October! What might be different based on other years?

You're telling me, on our first trip all three of us got the flu on the plane to Orlando (which was about 8 hours and of course it was a red-eye, never doing that again). I very specifically remember having to take cough medicine at Universal while the parade was going by, it was so not fun. But I'm really hopeful that won't happen again this trip, at least it had better not.

The weather is a major factor in October, it doesn't rain as often and it's less humid. Also schools let out for fall break including Florida schools. Both make larger crowds so plan for extra time. In terms of scheduled events like what's currently being offered I've never noticed any changes. Smitch reported a new map might come out, but I honestly wouldn't know the difference. I wonder if they might add more TorT locations. Totally bummed one of our favorite locations isn't on the map this year, here's hoping that will be one of the changes

We typically go down the last week of September but this year will be mostly the first week of October. I knew October was when a lot of schools start getting Fall break, but thought it was later in the month. Is Florida's Fall break start the first weekend in October? We are going to the party on 9/30 which is a Friday and was wondering if we will see much bigger crowds. I know Sunday is supposed to be the best day to attend, but we have friends coming down for the weekend just to do MNSSHP and Universal's Horror Nights. Thanks!

I was at last night's party and I can confirm that they cut Jack Sparrow's line right around 10:30pm.

We too attended Mickey's Singin' in the Rain Party, version 4.0 on Sunday. I thought we had it made weather wise about 8:00, but sadly, it was not to be. I have to say that actual lightening bolts really add to the Halloween effect.

Like most good Dis'ers we had a gameplan. That was tossed out the window about 6:00. We arrived at the park about 4:30 (a bit behind schedule) and our DD's had Jack and Sally on their must have list, so that set us back. We just decided to start in Adventureland and work our way around the park and go with the flow.

I personally had a great time interacting with the CM's. I went as Bob Iger and the CM reactions were great (lighthearted). First stop was bag check, the security guard looks at my name tag and attempts to keep a straight face. Then on to the tapstiles as a few CM's come over and bust out laughing. Several of the guests enjoyed the costume and wanted a picture (strictly forbidden mind you), a couple of others came up to me wanting to know who is Bob Iger. One lady asked me why the Disney IT system was so bad, the weird thing was she seemed halfway serious, offering her ideas to fix it. I told her "foreign labor isn't cheap..... no wait yes it is". I touched a nerve with another guest who had to tell me that Disney Shanghai brought in 2.5 billion more than expected (I'm guessing she worked in Disney accounting). I came to realize there were a lot of off-duty CM's at the party by the comments (in a good way) I received.

My family enjoyed the party until the delays and rain came. We were able to get tickets to the Tuesday party through City Hall. My wife and I plan on attending in more casual attire this time. Unfortunately my daughters had to head back home this evening.


With the help of Photoshop, I made copies of the older version of Disney stock and handed them out to several CM's. They appeared to really appreciate the gesture. I've probably violated an S.E.C. law somewhere, somehow.

We don't get fall break in South FL (Miami dade county) just a 3 day weekend first week of Oct and then off again on the 12th. Would be nice to get a fall break! I know alachua county (Gainesville area)doesn't get fall break either. Don't know about the rest of FL though. I think many schools in GA get fall break.

Mine too!!!

Awesome 25 days for me my bands should be in my mail box today.
