Next up was 2 trips on the monsters inc ToT trail. This had 2 candy stops. We had no wait in ToT lines after our 1037 stop.....

122 arrived at our resort.
For our candy haul. We were 2 adults and 1 child. I listed all the stops. I do watch to see which cast member are being generous and chat with them. You usually get an extra handful especially when its kate and no one behind you. We left with enough candy to fill 8 gallon zipper bags. I have sorted it now to make classroom goodie bags for Halloween. Sorry i am not counting it! Gallon bags in the back, quart bags in the frontView attachment 348461

Thank you! QoH & Tweedles and Elvis Stitch are the only characters I want to meet so this is so reassuring. Sounds like you had a blast!

 

[amalone1013]

Heading home this morning so here's how our party went...

9/3 party
Two adults but... moved slower than usual. DH learned the hard way he cant go barefoot at a waterpark all day anymore, he needs more foot support. We hung out at the resort most of the day so he could rest and ice his feet, so we headed to MK earlier than we'd originally planned.

Arrived by bus around 3:50 and they were letting people in. Got our bands and went through bypass. Rode Space with FP, split the Incredibles burger at Cosmic Ray's, Peter Pan with FP, went to Big Top to look at party merch, Jungle Cruise with FP.

Grabbed a drink and hopped in Pooh meet line about 6:15. Line already filled normal queue though people were spread out to sit. We were right near the entrance.They came out right at 7. We were first group in 2nd set to meet them, done around 7:40.

Swung through Storybook Circus to check out other characters in their costumes, then went to Space. They were handing out candy coming out near where you cross the train tracks. Ran into some other Dis'ers in line and rode Peoplemover and Buzz with them. It was about 8:40 then so we used mobile order for the Specialty burger at Cosmic Ray's and carried it to watch the first parade. We really liked the burger (@FoxC63 I could pull it up on mobile order by 7:45pm for sure)

Got a spot around 8:50 just in front of the Country Bears. Not too bad a view because there were strollers in front of us and the parents were off to the side.

After the parade we turned around and went through Country Bears ToT. Then stopped for Doom Buggy treat, walked right up to counter. It was cute, tasted fine but nothing special, but it was a must for DH.

Went through Adventureland to watch fireworks. Sat on the garden wall in front of Casey's so DH could rest his feet. a few mins before show, we moved farther down the walkway towards the corner of Casey's so we weren't behind the trees.

After we went straight to Pirates and walked on. Got the caramel pretzel and headed for Haunted Mansion. We should have just skipped, we weren't fans and the group in front of us was arguing at the window and took about 5 mins to figure it out...

We took the boardwalk to Haunted Mansion since people were already lined up for the second parade and ran into the Grave diggers with no line! I then got in trouble for not making a somber face for photos. Continued on to HM and stopped for Hatbox Ghost photo. Also went through Liberty Square ToT. (@Dentam we would have been close at the cast members were cheering like you said) HM was a walk on and I have a photo entering the queue at 11:00.

After the ride, we watched.... who ever was on the front lawn, I'm not sure which one then headed for Tea cups. Mine Train said 10min when we went by, but DH really wanted to do Tea Cups with the overlay. When we got off it said 30min fofor Mine Train. It was about 11:40 then so we just headed to get a spot for Hocus Pocus. Loved that show! Then headed for buses, stopping for Headless Horseman photo on the way out. No line on our side. Got to Pop bus stop and they had buses staged on the opposite side so as soon as they filled a bus they pulled the next over. Only waited 10ish mins including the loading of scooters, etc before we were on a bus, and we could have sat if we wanted.

We had a great time. We got all of our priorities in and could have done a few more on a normal day. We got a full gallon ziploc of candy from just the few ToT stops. Had to dump it out at TSA this morning. Talk about next year has already started...

Also we hit the waterparks for the long weekend and they were pretty dead. Especially Volcano Bay, they said they were dead all weekend!

Thank you! QoH & Tweedles and Elvis Stitch are the only characters I want to meet so this is so reassuring. Sounds like you had a blast!

We did. And queen meet was set up perfect. There is a split exit when leaving the teacups. The exit by pooh is the alice line the exit by speedway is the queen line. Both will be along the outside wall. There are covered tables you can sit at to watch the area prior to it forming. And if you have some anxious ToT ers that stop opened at 645. Have a great time. Just be careful of stitch line. They seem to cl ok se it really early. Try to get there by 1130.

Oh great! We'll be tag-teaming that ToT line for sure. We had Elvis Stitch on the itinerary for 11.30 but I'll try and get there a little earlier to be sure.

 

[alicat130]

I'm still waiting to see a confirmed time when he starts meeting. If it's at 7pm and you line up at 5:30 that could be a long wait. Just not sure about him.

Why does his line shut down so early 11:35-11:45. Is there a lot of people in his queue that are still wanting to meet him?

We found this to be the case at the 8/24 party. We tried to get in line for Tarzan around 11:25 and line was shut for the night with 2-3 groups in line. We ran over to Pooh and gang line and it was shut for the night with maybe 2-3 groups. Lights were off in that area and characters out of sight before 12. Minnie also went inside and was sent out to see more guests while we were waiting for Donald and Daisy. We did see the Tweedles and the Queen head inside right before 12.

 

[Cluelyss]

I’m bounding as Moana. I have khaki shorts and an orange tank top and i ordered a Moana necklace from Etsy. Sandals on my feet and my hair loosely bunned in a top bun.

I am debating if I want to bring my plush Pua as 1) rain looks a possibility on Sunday and b) I’m not quite sure how I would carry him.

Love this costume!

Could you have Pua sticking out of a purse or backpack? Then you could always close him inside if it rains.

Have a great time!!

My SIL just went to volcano bay about two weeks ago and said it was so crowded. I guess she should’ve waited.

I believe he meets from 7:00-11:30.

Can anyone confirm that the gravediggers meet until the end of the night?? I’m redoing my plans (AGAIN!) but don’t want to miss them again this year!

 

[GillianP1301]

Hi all, just back from our trip and enjoyed the party on both 8/28 and 8/31. We got some rain at the start of the 8/28, but it stopped about 8:00ish, so not too bad. We focused that night on trick or treating mostly and a few rides and shows. On 8/31, we had the dessert party with parade viewing. As I suspected, there was a ton of confusion at check-in and not well organized at all. I had to ask for a supervisor because it was pretty clear that the CM doing check-in was not very informed on the details of the parade viewing. She told us to come back to the terrace at 8:45, if we wanted, or just go straight to the parade viewing. And then we would be escorted back after the parade, which would get us to the desserts around 10:00pm. That immediately got me annoyed since that option would leave me with the worst seating option. The best option was really to do the 8:45 to get the table, put the reserve sign on our table, grab a plate of desserts and then go to the parade viewing about 9:15. I still wasn't overly thrilled, since I thought I had read somewhere that they were allowing the parade people earlier access to the terrace. When we went back at 8:45, we had to wait in line with everyone else, so there was no advantage to signing in early. We did get a good table and we had about 20 minutes to relax before being escorted to the parade viewing about 9:10. The viewing area was great and not crowded at all, so no issues there and after they parade they escorted us back and we had just enough time to get loaded up on more desserts before the fireworks. They did allow us to linger afterwards, if we wanted, which we did for about 10 minutes or so. Overall, I was very unimpressed with the check-in and lack of information and it was pretty clear the plan was not well thought out. However, what they did piece together, ended up executed not too badly. It was not as relaxing an experience as the last time we did this party with parade viewing, but I was satisfied that I had the time to eat as much as I wanted. There were many other frustrated people in the line at 8:45 in the same situation and the CMs were just not equipped to help and that is the most disappointing. I highly doubt we'll see any parade viewing with this party going forward, website mistake or not.

You dumped yours just like I had to. It must be random. I am already planning 2020. Hopefully the reviews get better because this year has been very crowded.

 

[billyjobobb]

Grandson is going to disneybound as Stitch. So I'm trying to find Lilo fabric to make a disneybound Lilo dress. My DH is going to wear a Hawaiian shirt.

Wish I had some ideas where you could find a black cape. If you could find/make just the headpiece, maybe just dressing in black? Good luck with it.

In the immortal words of Edna Mode..... NO CAPES!

Sorry, I just meant I had to dump it out in the tray for the scanner

Love this costume!

Could you have Pua sticking out of a purse or backpack? Then you could always close him inside if it rains.

Have a great time!!

Thank you! That is definitely a thought!

Originally I was going to be Hermione Granger in robes and all, then it hit me - Orlando. September. Hot. And I changed my mind. Haha!
