Anyone go to party last night? How crowded??? Thinking of going tomorrow.

I started reading that sentence and thought you were going to say that there will be a live stream of you shaving off your beard.

 

[Dean1953]

Tuesday morning, I could do a live stream of me shaving half the beard off and having a pitate’s beard left? I think that I’ll just change the avatar, with me in costume.

How long has the Elvis stitch line been? If we want to do this is it a must be first thing kind of line?

I’ll try to post the rest of my mnsshp party review from 10/18 tonight or tomorrow. At the airport heading home now

I haven't posted in this thread yet (I think?) but just wanted to say I'm heading to the party on 10/25 and I hope you (we) all have an awesome time!

I've thought so much about making an itinerary but my 'planning buzz' just died out so we'll see how it goes. I mostly just want snacks/parade/fireworks/a few nighttime rides.

I apologize if this has already been asked...
With Jack and Sally moving to Town Square Theater, and starting to meet around 4:30pm, what time do people start lining up to meet them? 4pm? 3pm? With DVC members getting in early, I was wondering when the line usually starts to form.

I think there are going to be quite a few of us at that party!

There was someone that posted they had gotten in line at 3:15 and was 4th in line and they were done about 12 minutes after Jack and Sally came out at 4:30. On the October 25th Party, I’ll get in line between 2:45 and 3.

I’m sorry that last night’s party was such a flop for everyone. I can’t imagine that anyone would have fun when the crowds are that bad.

If we end up at a sold out night, is there any value in not arriving at 4pm, but instead arriving later, say 8:30pm-9pm and hoping that the crowds have started to thin out by then? Has anyone tried this?

I'm just now getting caught up on real world stuff since our vacation so didn't have a chance to leave a review yet or anything from our trip. But, we did both Oct 2 and 4 parties and stayed until well after closing both times. Thursday even after the FW was still over crowded. We had a hard time finding a spot 3 people back for the second parade 30 minutes before the parade. We have done several Halloween and Christmas parties (even sold out ones) in past trips and never had an issue finding a spot for the second parade that early. There was still lines to do the photopass shots at 12:30. So I don't think the crowds thinned out much now our October 2 party went great. We met J & S, Moana, the 100 acre Wood gang, Queen of Heart with Tweedles, Alice and Mad Hatter all before 8, we also managed to meet Jafar and Cruella that night. TOT lines were manageable and we had no issue finding a spot for FW. Sadly we waited to do the Hocus Pocus show (characters were priority for 1st party) until that Thursday and it was hard to see the show in the mass of people that night.

You know, I just realized something. I did not see Cruella roaming at either of the parties I went to and I spent a lot of time in Fantasy land for both

We purposel went looking for her as she was on DD's villains dress. It took DH 20 minutes to find her as she roams in different areas, I think. He still had a difficult time getting her to stop and sign and get a picture. DH said it was only when DD pointed out she wore her picture on her dress she stopped for an autograph and picture.

Just a heads up on the Halloween refillable mugs, on mine the image is already rubbing off in spots. My sister’s is fine. Maybe they rushed to get more out and I got a dud. Still happy I got one but a little bummed that the quality is meh.

Our Oct 14 Party felt very crowded. Huge lines for candy which we skipped. Way back for first parade. We were lucky to get into the park early 2:30 ish. Very low crowds and were able to ride about 9 rides and get to the dance party with Vampirina!

 

[MinnieMouse3]

Hello! I apologize if this has been asked before but my family is attending MNSSHP tonight and they would really like to but the Halloween party shirts (not the hokus pokus ones. Does anyone know if these are still available, and if they are how early you need to get there to get them?

I felt just the opposite. We were at MK for the day bc we did the party Thusr night and heard that crowds would be less. No way!!! I felt like it was so crowded and long lines. We couldn't get fast passes for anything that we needed them for and we already rode the ones that were available. We had 3 of us refreshing most of the time. During the summer we always had a lot to choose from. I know they don't release as many during the off season but it's frustrating.

 

[RedStars]

I'm going tonight but we're not doing characters or ToTing so my updates won't be much help.

The weather is PERFECTION today. I assume it will mean a more crowded party.

Fourth in line for Jack and Sally now. Got here about 3:10pm. Special thanks to @MelOhioDis for the recent updates!

We walked into the theater and went straight to the Tinker Bell Meet line. There were two CMs standing there. One with a Jack and Sally sign, another with an iPad to verify party admission. The CM with the iPad scanned each of our bands to ensure we had a MNSSHP ticket and said another CM will come out later and give us the party wristbands while we wait. The CM also confirmed Jack and Sally will start meeting at 4:30pm.
