Following along. We'll be down the day after Labor Day and plan on doing a party. I am so excited!

Looks like there just might be a Labor Day party. I went in to check park hours by adding to my itinerary (thanks @GADisneyDad14) and it shows a 6pm close on that day. Interesting.

Does anyone have any costume ideas for families? I’m not the creative type and I can’t make my own lol. It will be me, DH, DD7, DD4 and DS2. I’d love to do a matching group theme but all the ones I’ve seen are families of 4!

The Incredibles, Winnie the Pooh & Gang, Fab 5, Peter Pan off the top of my head...

The Pixar movies are great for family costumes, and you can get away with just shirts and accessories. Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Incredibles, and Inside Out all have 5 or more memorable characters. I also second Kewz1's suggestions for Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh. If your girls want to be girl characters, Inside Out and Toy Story have the better ratios.

Here are some of my costume pics from last year! Went to two parties. We did Lumiere and Cogsworth one night and Maleficient and Tinkerbell the other.

Thank you! I’m beginning to think we probably shouldn’t be in full costume since we will be going in September and it will be HOT. To know that shirts and accessories will still work, is a huge plus!

Thank you! Peter Pan is on my list!

My DW and I are planning a trip for either September or the week after Thanksgiving for our family plus grandparents. Will be the first trip with our DD who will either be 8 months or 11 months depending on which we choose.

Either time will offer a chance at a party so will be looking forward to narrowing it down. Thankfully we're both seasoned vets when it comes to the WDW parks, but the little one will definitely add a new challenge.

So my DH actually thinks he might want to do this in place of our MK day. Of meet and greets aren't a priority, can we get everything done from 4- midnight?

What’s your definition of “everything”?

 

[ncgator]

I’m thinking of doing the same, making the Halloween party my MK day since meet and greets aren’t our thing either. I just love the Halloween atmosphere! It’s probably been 10 years since I’ve done this or the Christmas party, but I remember the crowds being quite low and getting to do all the rides with little wait. Not sure if things are different now. I’m hoping to do the 10/3 DVC evening event at the Studios, one Halloween party, and then use my 2 day tix for Epcot and Animal Kingdom.

We are hoping for a party on the 28th, and that will also be an MK day for us, so we will be there the whole day.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out... I attended the party for the first time last year (loved it), and heard a song played multiple times while on Main St. It sounded like a big band type song. Lead singer had a gravelly voice, and the chorus had lyrics seemed to contain the words "Voodoo", "Hoodoo", and "You do". Anyone know the song? It was in a rotation with Thriller, and others.

 

[Ds4angels]

Basically the rides, my kids aren't big on m&g. Thinking we'd catch a late night snack while we watch the 2md parade

Think we might do this....if there is an August date! So exciting!

I was not at the party last year but I can tell you that song! That would be "Magic Dance" by David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth!

If you just want to do the parade and shows you’ll have plenty of time for rides. Just know that not everything is open during the party (Jungle Cruise, for example, becomes a trick or treat trail). So plan accordingly if that’s your only time in MK.
