Aww I love those! They kind of look like the McDonald’s trick or treat buckets from when I was little!

I am planning on 2 parties this year 9/11 and 9/14. Just booked BOG for 9/14! My 1st time at BOG finally! I think one party we will focus on character meets (Jack & Sally again and hopefully Moana), rides, T&T, and pictures. The other will be for parades, fireworks, shows, T&T, pictures. Is this a good plan?

If Jack & Sally and Moana are you only 2 priority characters, I’d do one each night. The line for both of them starts forming around 4, and if you wait until you meet 1 before heading to the other, you’ll eat into party time. If you line up for one each night, you’ll be done long before the parties start.

I had a thought earlier today that maybe they would have Ralph and Vanellope do a M&G at the party because of Wreck It Ralph 2 coming out. They would probably be the only characters I'd wait in line (besides Jack &a Sally.) Am I way off base?

I would love to meet them! Especially since we are dressing up as them.

Given what's been said about cast-member entry for certain parties, does anyone think that the 28AUG party has the possibility of being one of the more crowded ones of the late-summer period? It's our only option in terms of what we may attend.

That's what DH wants to dress as for our party. I'm still pushing for Belle and Beast, or Donald and Daisy.

I need help!!!! Family of 5. Me, dad, girls will be 7 but they are 11 months apart so 1 is bigger, and almost 3 year old boy. We need costume help! I look all over pinterest and the net and I am coming up meh. Hubs will probably only want to wear a tshirt and shorts, so as creative as I can get with that. The rest of us can wear anything that is allowed. Help me out with ideas! We go Sept 9th.

Please don't feel I am judging people because to each there own I always say as long as your not hurting someone but do people really line up at 4 PM to meet a character at 7 PM? I can't imagine wasting so much time of my day waiting to take a picture with a character. I won't even wait in line for an hour for a ride that last 2 minutes so I am sure not waiting 3 hours for a meeting with a character that last 30 seconds. Put again to each there own.

Get your husband a Hawaiian Style shirt and a lay and a big hat and have him be a tourist. Its very comfortable or a basketball jersey and basketball shorts he can be a basketball player.

Would like to do a Disney family theme thing, so anything that has a them tshirt would be great. Like if we all did HM characters and I got him that shirt that looks like he works there. Stuff like that. Or I can make him a shirt with my cricut or iron ons, he's just so boring lol. And it will be hot so I can't expect him to doll up.

Yeah I would be the same way. Maybe there is a way for you guys to do something with Inside out. Maybe he can get a sun burn and be the angry character???

I'm with you, not happening here either. Especially not when I can line up at 11:30pm and only wait 20 minutes (my personal experience with the 7 dwarfs). I would much rather enjoy a nice meal in that time while I wait for the party to start. But, I agree, definitely a to each their own type thing.

How about the Incredibles? I know technically they are 2 boys and a girl family, but 5 is the right number and all you would need are character T-shirts, which should satisfy your husbands clothing request.

 

[WillowRain]

I agree on the waiting to meet a character. Even my kids won't wait more than 20 mins, that's our limit on most things, 20 mins. We waited 60 for Na'vi and it was like, why for did we do this? Unless of course it's Piglet in costume, I would be willing to wait 40 for that!!! Guess we will see!

I thought about that cause boy would make a cute Jack Jack, but I feel like maybe A LOT of people will be doing that, considering the huge push on their merch right now. It was freaking everywhere at DL.

What about a safari style theme like your picture. Maybe your husband would be willing to wear Mickey ears and you wear Minnie. Have each kid wear a different character ears. I know that could get expensive with the different ears though

Many characters start meet and greets before 7pm.

Well thats good. I just can't see waiting so long for anything. I don't know how people do it for FoP either. Great ride but not worth an hour of my life doing nothing.

I'm with everyone on this too. Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all time favorite movies, and while meeting Jack and Sally would be super fun, I'm definitely not going to use ride/parade/fireworks time on it. If there are short lines at the end of the night we'll probably hop on, but I'm not setting time aside for it.

We got very luck one time at Disneyland to get pictures with them. They meet throughout the day in front of the overlay for the Mansion. We say a line with like 4 people in it and we had no clue what it was for so we asked and found out it was them. It was kind of cool but I guess it is easier when they do it all day long.
