Is anyone else NOT doing Disney costumes for MNSSHP? My 11yo DS wanted to go Steampunk this year, so my DHdecided to match him, and I snagged a super cute Victorian bathing costume. I hope we don't look out of place!

Here's hoping it stays that way! :D (I know...not likely!)

You'll be fine, plenty of people wear non-Disney costumes.

Are the trick or treat bags they give you paper or plastic?

Plastic.

That is really crazy. I still assume my November 1 party will sell out, but at this rate maybe not.

The wait times are awesome right now! And I looked at hotels available the very last two weeks in October - suddenly there are rooms! Especially 10/30 to 11/3 - almost every hotel is now available. I posted on resorts board - before they were all booked up!

Fingers crossed! :)

It's Halloween! Part of the fun is dressing as whatever you want! I saw tooooooons of people not doing Disney related things. We went as Ghost Tourists!
 
I have another question regarding costumes? If you have accessories to your costume. Where do you put them while on a ride? For example buzz light year wings or fairy wings?

Wear them, put them in a bag or put them in the pouches on the rides. I saw a few lost fairy wings on Haunted Mansion actually.

You really think that is a function of less people going?Or how about they are just selling more tickets....

Amount of tickets sold probably increased (IMO not as much as PP think, could be wrong), but numerous PP posted that after over 30% price increase last year (slight increase this year too), reduction of characters, complaints of not clearing our day guests, that they would not attend. It shows with the amount of parties that sold out in 2015 vs 2016, and then only 2 this year and NOT Halloween yet. I know several do not like the parties within the parties, but a lot of PP do, and numerous complaints about Villains Soiree not being continued, then parade viewing removed from dessert party, no Club Villain --- this reduced sales and caused others just not to go.

Personally we are skipping Halloween this year, for some of those reasons listed above. Then thought about going again after purchasing APs, but no.
 
Finally bought my tickets and committed to November 1 :) I'm getting very excited about this trip. Now time to finalize my character plan.

Think I'll start off with jack and Sally at 4, then head over to check out the Moana line. I do like getting special party characters before the party starts.

I'm undecided if we will line up for Belle and Gaston or the Pooh characters after Moana. Belle and Gaston are just such a great interaction.

We'll need Jack Sparrow and Ariel/Eric since we'll be dressed as Jack Sparrow and pirate Ariel. Not sure when we'll get those in, Ariel and Eric probably toward the end of the party, maybe around the time of the second parade.

We'll watch fireworks from the grassy area in front of Casey's, then the first parade. I'll see how spots look around parade start in Frontierland, if those look bad I'll go to my go to spot in front of the train station. If we do that may as well meet Mickey as the parade ends.

Also gotta fit in pirate Goofy somewhere.

I'm going on November 1 too!
 
Another November 1st party-goer here! My DD12 and I are going by ourselves, and we are so excited! We are not going with elaborate costumes, just DisneyStore Halloween shirts, and we are making headbands. We sewed treat bags as well! [GALLERY=]
