We did the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in October of 2006 and you are correct, they never fully shut down.As far as I know, WDW never closes things down. They just start kicking people out without special wristbands. Can anyone elaborate on that?
You know, maybe someday they will jazz it up more. Especially the headless horseman. How cool! As far as fireworks go..........I don't think DCA could do them. But, how about the new "World of Color" water show with all of the famous villain songs choreographed to them? Right now the song from "Fantasia" is coming to mind.We did the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in October of 2006 and you are correct, they never fully shut down.
If you have tickets for the party, you are supposed to check in and get a wrist band. They even let you check in early. I think it was supposed to start at 6 and we checked in at 4 or so and were able to get in early using our MNSSHP tix.
They have tons of CMs walking around looking for wrist bands and if you don't have one, they'll ask you to leave. And I believe they won't let you on whatever rides are left open for the party.
It wasn't the best system though and I think since then they've made some changes. Not sure what though.
I will say the night we went to MNSSHP it was a zoo. Made the MToT party look empty by comparision. You could not move. They have special Halloween fireworks that were awesome. And of course their parade is the wonderful. It starts off with the headless horseman riding down the street. So cool!
I doubt I'll ever be in WDW for Halloween again, but if I was I still probably wouldn't do the party. Too busy. I wish DCA would expand their parade/calvacade to be more like the MNSSHP one.
Yeah, see what she says. Maybe they do it different now.You know, maybe someday they will jazz it up more. Especially the headless horseman. How cool!

Dum de, dum de, dum,
dum dum dum,
dum de, dum de, dum..............And the fountains go up every time with the beat.............Wouldn't that be awesome?? And in color?? You know what I'm talking about, like Bellagio's.
One of my friends from another board just got back from WDW. They went to the party. I'll have to ask her what they did about wristbands and stuff.
Well that put DCA's to shame. Geesh!Yeah, see what she says. Maybe they do it different now.
I wouldn't mind not seeing any fireworks, but I honestly don't know why they can't do a longer parade. The little one they did was so cute, why not expand on that? Oh well. Perhaps they will at some point.
A world of color show would be really cool too. I'm scared to see how much more crowded it would make it though!!
Here is a link to the parade with the headless horseman if you are curious to see some of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUkwavQno3Q

DCA needs to get with it. Of course the more it has, the busier it gets!!

Did you see the Blue Sky Cellar preview? (or whatever it was called)
It was so cool to see it all, but honestly, at the same time, I couldn't help but thinking how CROWDED it was going to make both parks once it's all done!!!
Right now, DCA is our escape park. When DL is too crowded, we can usually hop over to DCA for a break. Kwim? It's usually not as bad. But once all those changes take effect, it will be a whole different story.
Same here. No kinky fruit leather for us. Only dried pears. Ick. LOLI was so looking forward to the fruit leather (or smooshed fruit) that some people were talking about, but apparently they are not handing that out any more as one of the treats. Instead we got this funky dried Asian pear thing - has a texture kind of like cardboard - sweet cardboard Oh well...... Did get Ghirardelli though - yummy!
