We have the dessert party booked for the first night of the party and I’m thinking my plan of attack will be to go get desserts right as it opens to avoid as much of a line as possible. But I don’t necessarily want to go right to the plaza to sit and wait, I’d rather go do something in between the desserts and fireworks. So I’m wondering when we are ready to go back to the plaza, can we go right there or do we have to go back to Tomorrowland Terrace to be escorted over?

You can come/go/do whatever as you please. They may try to escort you to the garden, but we always just say “we’re good, we know where we are going.” They check party wristbands at the garden entrance, you don’t have to have a CM with you.

We’ve gone over to ride PeopleMover in between desserts and viewing before. (I have trouble just sitting around/waiting, I’d rather be doing something!)
 
Ok, so I just took the plunge today and bought our tickets for the 09/22 party! I opened the Disney Premier Visa Card and got the $250 statement credit, so that made the decision a lot easier for our family of 5. Now to figure out costumes/theme and strategy. This is our first MNSSHP and first trip back in 5 years. So much to figure out, but I am so excited I can't stand it!
 
As a MNSSHP newbie, I'm reading advice here and trying to organize a plan for my family. My dad, late 70's, will be attending - fit but I still want to be aware of him when planning.
4:00pm- enter MK / get bands
use 3:20pm FP, then 4:20pm FP, then 5:20pm FP (probably space mountain, peter pan and Haunted Mansion)
6:00pm- Casey's for a small break / supper
7:00-8:45pm- ride Pirates and Haunted Mansion / hope to see Cadaver Dans, do a few trick or treat stops
8:45pm check in for fireworks dessert party at Tomorrowland Terrace / break
10:15 fireworks??? I think this is the time? / garden plaza
10:45-? suggestions?
11:15pm see second parade across from Pecos Bill, then try to get a ride on Splash after parade ends
-do we have time for anything else after this parade? more trick or treating on way out???

We are ok missing photo opportunities. While we'd love to have them, it's our first party and we don't want to spend a ton of time in lines for pictures. We really want to see fireworks (booked plaza dessert party) and parade, Cadaver Dans, a few trick or treat stops, a ride on HM. Is there something that you feel is a 'must do' that is not on our list? We are just trying to enjoy our last night at Disney by soaking up the party vibe (really never thought we'd be able to get to a party because I'm a teacher but with this early party date, we look at it as a bonus!) 10:45pm suggestions? Or do we need to go directly to parade viewing spot after fireworks end? TIA

Not sure if you're planning to watch the show. We enjoyed it. But we love Hocus Pocus. So the Sanderson sisters are a must for our family!

Pictures go relatively quickly so plan to get some. You will also be able to ride more rides if you choose, especially if you don't do any character meets. We were able to do Buzz, Space, Peoplemover, 7DMT (25min wait) BTMRR, PotC, teacups, Astro Orbiter, stopped to eat at Pecos Bills and saw parade fireworks and show. I think we may have ridden a couple more but cant remember

This is good to know-I had wondered about pictures, especially those in front of the Haunted Mansion. We really like the ones we have seen around there, but knew lines to ride HM during the party are 30 minutes at least, on up to an hour, and were afraid picture lines there could be as well.

Can you tell me about Hocus Pocus/ Sanderson Sisters? TIA

We went in 2017, so I'm not sure if it's the same show each year. But the Sanderson Sisters have a little skit, then other villains show up and join in. I know some of the villains included Jafar, Oogie Boogie, and Cruella. They sing some songs...our favorite being "I put a spell on you." We really enjoyed it and plan to see it this year when we go. The show is offered several times during the evening which makes it pretty convenient to find time to watch.
 
Has anyone booked the Nov 1 dessert party? It's the only one that hasn't loaded online (and it is 180 days away now!) though 11/1 is definitely listed in the description.

Excellent description Castlequeen5!

I'd like to add that as a family that doesn't love the movie Hocus Pocus ( I know, sacrilegious), we just LOVED this show! The characters are great, the songs are fabulous! But what made us consider this show so spectacular was the audience! The fun atmosphere and energy of the crowd who love the show makes you love the show. It's palpable. You must experience it to understand!

or I could go as a skeleton with a corset

I dont want to dissuade you but those coveralls look like they would be very hot. Our experience with MNSSHP has always involved very warm weather (we've gone in Sept and October). This year we go early Sept and I am not looking forward to the heat!

I thought the very same thing. Believe me, you want to think in terms of as cool a costumer as you can manage. Otherwise it's going to be a long, miserable evening.

Overalls with a corset? is that disney-bounding a character? or just a look/outfit?
'skeleton w/ corset' - are you thinking like a female skeleton from Coco?

overalls - you will want something super light weight, definitely not heavy (or even medium) denim.
