Yes, the times u posted above are correct. I was at big top for souvenirs about 6:15. Short lines then. Also ran in again about 11 and lines were non existent.
I'm not sure how much oogie boogie was, as DH paid for it while I stayed with kids. I can ask him if he remembers once he wakes up.
By, "both parties" are u referring to
MNSSHP and
MVMCP? If so, I am a Christmas fanatic, so MVMCP will always be my fav. But I obviously LOVED the HP too since I'm going again tonight! I must admit the parade at the HP was outstanding,so it was my favorite parade. Both parties are amazing and fun and worth the money IMO.
We did not wear costume this year, just mickey Halloween tees. We were in the process of moving this summer, so I never had time to do more then that. Next year, I'm not sure what we will do. The costumes are cute, but it is HOT and some of the people had to be miserable! I think festive clothing is a good middle ground.
