Ok, after catching up on all the posts here and watching a live stream from the first party on Friday, I think I'm ready to attempt a schedule. This is our first Halloween party, and I'm planning for 8 people so feedback is very, very welcome! Our party date is October 1.
Our top priorities are the Hocus Pocus stage show, the parade, fireworks, seeing the Haunted Mansion characters, and seeing the Cadaver Dans.
3:30p - Arrive at MK
3:45-4:00p - Enter MK, head to Fire Station to collect SotMK card then walk down bypass for first trick or treating
4:00-4:30p - Head to our 'it's a small world' FP+ (FP time is 3:15-4:15)
4:30-5:15p - Big Thunder Mountain FP+ (FP time 4:20-5:20)
5:15-6:00p - Haunted Mansion FP+ (FP time 5:25-6:00)
6:00-6:45p - Find something to eat for dinner, probably at Pecos Bill's
7:00p - See the Cadaver Dans in Frontierland
7:20p - Get a party treat at Sleepy Hollow and carry to Hub to eat and get a spot for Hocus Pocus
7:40-8:10p - Hocus Pocus Show
8:30p - Be back in Frontierland to catch the Costume Promenade and start staking out a spot for the parade
9:10-9:40p - Headless Horseman and Boo To You Parade
9:40p - Stake out a fireworks spot in the Hub and take turns (2 or 3 at a time) going to ride Pirates or get treats
10:45p - Walk up to HM to see Carlotta & Renata
11:00p - 12:00a - Ride some rides and do some trick-or-treating
Does this seem good? Am I being too paranoid and providing too much cushion in between things? Writing it all out doesn't seem like we are doing very much and we don't make it to Fantasyland or Tomorrowland at all. I am nervous with us being such a big group and the potential for it being a crowded party. But I am also worried that the people in my group are going to want to ride more things and spend less time waiting around for good spots. The earlier parade is a must for us because my daughter is only 5 and I know she will enjoy it. I'm afraid she will probably pass out in the stroller after the fireworks.
