But they won't be dressed in Halloween attire.

wasn't sure poster specifically wanted that - sometimes it's just about meeting them

Me my wife, 2 girls(6 and 4) and my parents and my mother in law are taking our second trip September 1 st - 5 th. I am really glad to see that the 1 st is a Halloween party night because that is what we planned our trip around. My girls are going as Moana. We are staying at AKL Jambo house on rented DVC points from our friends. I am really glad to see all of these people on here taken a September trip too.

And they won't be all together

Would you say that you were able to do everything you wanted to do within one night?

I'm hoping to meet Jack & sally and the Winnie the pooh characters plus do hallowishes, hocus pocus show and parade.

The above are my main priorities but wondering if a second night is needed or if I'll be ok with just one?

Opinions from your own experiences?

Head to Jack and Sally line at 4. You should be done by 5:30/6:00 with time to grab a quick bite before lining up for Pooh and friends (by 6:30 to get into their first set). Plenty of time for HM and ToT'ing before securing a spot for the fireworks (by 9:30) then catch the 2nd parade and 12:00 Hocus Pocus show. You're good with time to spare.

Hahaha! And I only wrote that to make sure the poster was aware she had a difficult choice to make, after all what child wouldn't want a photo with Pooh & his gang in their Halloween Costumes! They're just too cute.

You have such a kind heart!

Wow! What a great picture!!! And I did not know they took their photo in a group setting. Yep, I see what I'm missing as an adult! So on my list this year!

to the Party!!! What are your plans? Are just your DD's (Disney Daughters) the only ones dressing up?

we missed out on the parties last year due to Hurricane matthew. Traveled down, only to be canceled for a non event "hurricane" at Disney. I know - better to be safe. It was just really frustrating at the time. We got park hoppers out of the exchange though so that was good

Anyway, We are going to try again this Sept, since we are going down for a DVC night at AK. Looking forward to some trick or treating and the shows. Hoping to get into BOG just to look around too.

back! I really hope this trip is the best ever! What a bummer about Mathew. I know a lot of us here we're praying for your safety.

EDIT: Are you planning on purchasing the Express Bus? And have you been keeping up to date about the new security measures?

Thumbs up to @hiroMYhero for keeping us up to date!

I don't know what that is. I will have to look into it.

ETA: oh that is SO cool! we have 5 in our party so may be a little pricey and we take a car down so I don't know if it is worth it for us, though it does save a lot of time. For the sept trip, we are not using the hopper passes. We will buy the MNSSHP and do the AK special night. Then just enjoy the resort and out of park fun.

@alisonslp This sounds good!
Sightly but did you drive down last year, what was that like? Where were you when the worst of Mathew showed up? Really. so many people wrote well wishes to all the travelers it was very cool to see this.

I'm not sure if you mentioned your dates but did you read about the Sleepy Hollow Event at Ft. Wilderness?

We drove down from NC the day before Matthew hit. We stayed at Boardwalk. The resort was very accommodating, having several of the restaurants on the boardwalk open, though serving a very limited menu. When they realized it was pretty much a non-event in the Disney area, they opened most up by mid friday and opened DS to resort guests as well. We had a great time in the parks that weekend. It was pretty empty and we were able to visit all 4 parks to ride what we wanted (mine are teens, so they go for the bigger rides only). But we were disappointed to not do the halloween party. We had even booked Friday after we found out they were canceling thurs but then Fri was canceled too. Worked in our favor though, b/c we ended up with double the amount of park hoppers, which are worth a lot more than the party tix.

No, I haven't heard about the sleepy hollow. I will have to looking into it. We will be at wilderness for only one night just to experience the resort and staying at OKW for the rest. I will check it out and the dates. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Aaaah I'm so excited now. Do you know what the average queue times are for lotso? I forgot about him.

 

[tinkerbell1991]

You may find it easier to go to Crystal Palace for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Get those characters out of the way and open up more of your party night to shows and rides.

Oooh I forgot about Crystal palace with the pooh characters. I like the idea of them all in Halloween costumes but thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind and may have photos with them through a dining reservation.

 

[tinkerbell1991]

No ma'am, that's a must! Be sure to get your picture taken with the CM's while you're there

Oh my gosh, they look awesome! I honestly feel like a child again (Which I know disney does to you anyway) but I'm so excited

 

[tinkerbell1991]

Can anyone suggest less crowded places to watch the parade? I read trip reports and party reviews where they're not on main street watching it, but wouldn't have a clue where the parade runs from and to so where is a quieter but still viewable place?
