Ooogie Boogie vs NSS

[katmigordon]

I'm trying to understand why so many people prefer Ooogie to Not so Scary - NSS has shows, a parade, character meet and greets, and treat trails.
Ooogie doesn't have shows at all, and the character meet and greets don't include autographs, hugs or any one on one at all...

We've never been to WDW, but I'm hearing good things about MNSSHP.

Also....why does MNSSHP get a metal scoop full of candy while we at OBB get a measly 2-3 pieces at each station lol Kidding aside, we might have to check out the other coast sometime for Halloween.

I can't really speak to preference as I haven't attended MNSSHP, but have gone multiple years to OBB. The treat trail villain characters offer interaction from stages, but actual meet and greets absolutely offer one on one interaction. I have had fun "chats" and taken photos with Lotso (yes, smelled like strawberries), all three Sanderson Sisters and Kingdom Hearts Mickey and Goofy, just to name a few. I'm someone who doesn't even usually take character photos, but i tend to do it when attending OBB.

I'm not a particular fan of Villains Grove, but some people do love that experience, too. Again, I wouldn't be able to posit that one Halloween party is better or make any comparison. But as far as character one on ones, they are also available at OBB.
