I love seeing everyone's "rare" character pics, so I hope you get your picture taken with lots of the villains! You definitely should get everything done in two parties!

The party sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to hear all about it!

I know, I can't wait! I will try to take good notes for my TR!

I'm so glad I will get to see some of the villains! I don't really need to see them all, I'll be happy with one or two, I have a feeling those lines are going to be looooong!

I really cannot wait for the Halloween party. I know you'll have a good time.

Ahhhh, I really can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!

I have been to 2 MNSSHPs and here is my advice.

*I have only seen the second parade and I think that not all of the floats were there the second time of the night. I'm not 100% sure but that is my two cents.

*Make sure you see Hallowishes, it is my FAVORITE firework display at Disney.

*The dwarves get lines SUPER early. Like before the party officially starts. Last year I saw the line start around 6PM I think. They were out in Fantasyland almost across from Pooh and they had a line before 7, same with the carriage but I find that the carriage moves faster than the dwarves. I have never waited for the dwarves but have for the carriage. I actually got in line for the carriage a little before the party started and it seemed to go by pretty fast.

I really love MNSSHP, it's a great time and I think going to two parties would be super awesome you can get the best of everything that way!

Thanks for the tips!

The second parade really doesn't have all the floats? The 2 times I went to MVMCP we saw the 2nd parade and it was the whole thing...hmmm, now I'm going to have to try to see the first one at one of the parties!

I'd like to see the dwarves again, but they aren't my top priority, so if I miss them it's not a big deal! I saw them at MVMCP last year, so if I don't feel like spending an hour to wait for them, whatever!

I'm SO excited for Hallowishes!!

Woo!!!! I'm going on Tuesday and then again on the 30th (with you there! lol) I'm going with some friends on Tuesday so I'm sure they will want to do all of the character meets so I will be willing since I'll be going twice I'm happy..2 Hallowishes, 2 Parades, 2x trick or treating lol.

Yay, are you going to update in your TR about the party you're going to tonight? I keep reading about the parties that have happened this year so far, and I'm SO excited!!!

I have 6 more days of work as well! It seems so close but yet so far!

I'm having DH bring up our suitcases from the basement this weekend and I am going to go through the toiletries on Monday and make a list of what we need to replenish. I also want to begin packing socks, undergarments, etc. 11 nights is a lot to pack for!

Greg and I are dressing up in costume but I did make us semi-matching t-shirts to wear to the MNSSHP on the 30th. Is that the one you're dressing up at? I hope we run into each other!

I should take my suitcases out of the closet soon and let them air out! I'm also trying to convince Brandon to buy a new suitcase, because he uses a tiny, carry on sized one, and I really would like him to bring something bigger...you know, in case I need more room!

I'm not sure if I'm dressing up at the party on the 30th or the 6th, it depends on how I feel that night! There's always a chance I might feel ridiculous walking around with a tail pinned to my butt and I won't do it at all!

Going to two MNSSHPs sounds perfect! Your plans sound like a lot of fun. I'm trying to figure out our plan for MNSSHP, but I don't have too much, beyond making sure to see the parade and Headless Horseman. I'm glad you decided to dress up. The Cheshire Cat is one of my favorites.

I definitely have to see the Headless Horseman! I keep thinking about a good place to stand for the parade and I'm not sure where I want to be! I'd like to be on Main Street, but I don't feel like finding a place an hour before the parade starts!

I'm glad I'm kind of dressing up too, although, I got an email from Target (where I ordered the ears and tail from) saying my order was delayed...watch me not get it in time!

She was out last year, I'm sure she's out this year

I hope so, but I haven't seen any reports of her being out this year! Oh well!

I'm still so jealous you are going to MNSSHP! I can't wait until the day I'm able to go see it for myself. A word of warning, go to the M&G for the Dwarfs FIRST, because I've seen on people's trip videos the line can get extremely long like wrap around Fantasyland long, so go straight to that, just an FYI for you.

Less than two weeks I love your whole Cheshire Cat costume idea, very creative and glad to see you're getting in on the act with the costumes.

I'm so excited we're finally going to MNSSHP!!!

I'm still not sure if the dwarves are a top priority yet, I know I'll have to get in line at 6 to see them and I'm just not sure I want to! I would love to get another picture with them, but it's just such a pain waiting all that time! We'll see what happens!

Thanks, I can't wait to get my costume in the mail, whenever that will be...it's been delayed.

Don't worry, I know you'll get everything done in time for the trip. I think there's always that feeling of being unprepared when you get about two weeks out. You'll be good!

I love your costume idea! I think it's very cute. Make sure you take pictures so we can see.

Thanks, I hope so! I really was hoping to do all of our toiletry shopping this past weekend, but a lot of crap came up that we had to deal with and of course, we got nothing done. I guess that will all be this weekend!

Thanks, I'll definitely take some pictures of my "costume", although I'm not sure if they will come out good, since I pretty much hate every picture taken of me!

nfor under two weeks.

I know what you mean about not being prepared. We leave in five days and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not ready.

I just read on your PTR what's going on with your car situation, I'm glad you're still getting to go on your trip!

Great plans for MNSSHP! Don't worry, you're probably more prepared than you think. I'm sure you know this already but make sure you line up EARLY to see the seven dwarves. The line was INSANE already at the beginning of the last party I went to in 2010. Just plan plan plan! But like I said, I'm sure you already know what to do. Going to 2 parties will help that. I'm sure you'll look super cute as the Cheshire cat Have fun!!! Can't wait to hear more about the parties.

Thanks! That's the whole reason I wanted to do 2 parties in one trip, so I wouldn't have to make myself crazy trying to fit everything in to one! I really can't wait, it's going to be so much fun, I love Halloween!!
