Thoughts on doing the party with a 2 and 4 year old? Wait until our next trip when they'll be 4 and 6?

Agreed with other posters, you know your kids the best. We've done parties at both ages with my 2 boys. Once at 2 and 4, and this past year at 4 and 6. They loved it both times but just keep the expectations low on what they will be able to do and just enjoy what you are able to do. The first party they didn't make it to midnight but saw the parade, lots of characters, rides, some trick or treating, and loved it. Even though we didn't see or experience everything I had hoped, it was still a great time because like all Disney trips, I pay for it to see their enjoyment. If I think about the cost and getting max value after we're there it ruins the magic for me. I just love seeing their excitement. I plan like crazy before we go and we just go off those plans as a guide and improvise depending on moods. Makes for a great trip imo.

Now with that said, my boys loved it even more this past year. They wanted to meet Jack Skellington and 7Dwarves so they knew ahead of time they would have to wait in lines in order to do it. By the time we made it to 7Dwarves DS4 said he was done with the lines and DS6 and I waited. Luckily since it we do quick meets typically, and don't do individual pictures the CM let him jump in with his brother since I said it was just one picture we wanted, even though he didn't put the time in (bad parenting I know). Weather prevented us from finishing the night but we were fortunate that Disney allowed us to come again the last night of our trip and they made it to midnight (barely) after a full day of hopping between two parks (leisurely and with break for nap).

Long story short, you have to decide if you're willing to eat the cost if they don't make it all night as long as they had a good time or not. You know your kids. We think it's fantastic even if you only get to do a bit and see the parade.

Looking at the Park Hours, our one and only full day we are there, MNSSHP is not scheduled. But I'm wondering if there are any special Halloween events that take place during those days that MNSSHP does not take place.

Also this. I am 134 days out and I have ADRs I will only keep if we don't have a party to go to and I hate holding things if I don't need them as someone else might be looking for one!

If you purchase a Halloween ticket, do you also need a ticket to the park as well

 

[Disneymadhouse]

Come on Disney! Release. The. Dates. Its not hard. Surely you already know when the parties are going to be. We know food and wine is starting earlier this year!

Lots of enquiring minds want to know!!

The 'event' looks totally different on the Disney page and now even has a link that says "show in plans" and 'select times'. But nothing can be selected...but it looks promising for soon!

 

[ErinsMommy]

Oh wait that's for the parade. nevermind. ugh.

 

[BudgieMama]

Do the main guys usually have the same costumes every year? What is Donald's costume normally?

Ready for my first MNSSHP 10/25 - 11/2 and now waiting for those darn dates to open up!

 

[disneydreamer781]

Since we are all taking educated guesses on this year's Party dates, what do you all think will happen the last week of October? We are going to arrive Sunday, Oct. 29, and leave Saturday, Nov. 4.

Last year, Halloween fell on a Monday, so the Party was scheduled for Sunday and Monday, with "normal" hours the rest of the week. This year, Halloween falls on Tuesday - so I'm thinking that the Party will be scheduled on Sunday and Tuesday, with regular park hours resuming on Wednesday...

What do you think?

I'm thinking the same. They open up all the dates at once...correct?

Whyyyyyyyyyy is Disney torturing us?!

 

[Dug720]

Whyyyyyyyyyy is Disney torturing us?!

Because the ROL package torture isn't enough??

I sort of have that one managed now...I'd prefer breakfast, so I'm just clicking and clicking and clicking. But at least I have dinner and a seat at ROL without tying up a FP+ all day.

I just want to know why MK is closing at 7 on 8/25!!!!!!!!!!! And if it's MNSSHP or Disney After Dark to buy that ticket!

(And as evidenced from my ticker, in 6 days I'll be unplugged for a week!!!!!)
