When we were there for Irma, the saturday before the storm (day before park closing) was FANTASTIC!! Best disney day ever. So glad for you.

Achievement unlocked! Longest wait was liberty square and that was only 10 minutes!

Yes it was fabulous, drop in humidity really helped. Also attended the Terrace fireworks dessert party. Couldn’t see any of the lower projections but still enjoyed the fireworks. The desserts were pretty good as well.they had miniature versions of the special MNSSHP desserts. Sorry I forgot to take photos but I think earlier posts have included photos.
There were empty tables so party wasn’t sold out. Ride waits were low on everything we wanted to ride. Went to area in front of Tony’s to wait for 2nd parade and fount great spot. There were plenty of good spots available right up to the start of parade. At the end of the late parade we went to monerail and one pulled up just as we got there.
Also the amounts of candy being given out was crazy especially at Monsters Inc. there was CM giving 2 huge handfuls and there are candy stations in there. Also we filled multiple bags with several TOT stops, planning on leaving candy at front desk for cast members along with bottles of water as we will be leaving on Sunday afternoon instead of Wed.

Jack and Sally done by 5:10 FP mine train on way to 7d line..FP dumbo and FP barnstormer while one person waited in 7dwarves line. Walked out of 7d meet at 6:55 pm most rides except pp minetrain and pirates were 5 min waits.. rode 5 or 6 fantasyland rides got lotso burger saw first parade did some TOT, saw fireworks near purple wall not in hub..rode buzz saw lotso and dance party.. got Donald brownie and left during second parade. We never made it to pirates because we thought we would get stuck there due to parade traffic. Skipped haunted mansion because family voted pp instead and I forgot my wedding cake. All in all a great party night. Not a drop of rain but lots of tiny puddles from before we arrived. Would have never predicted this.. I thought the Monday night guests were going to switch their day to tonight and that it would be packed.

Friday, Aug. 30th - I wish all parties were like this! It reminded me of the good old days when crowds were low, rides were easy to walk on, character lines were short and merchandise being available even in late October. Yes, I'm that old!

I don't think character wait times will help anyone unless they have a party exactly like the one we had last night. So moving forward.... The merchandise, so much to choose from! It was wonderful seeing the stores and resorts all decked out, what a dream and I brought some of them with me!


Not sure if it was mentioned but back again this year is the Headless Horseman Straw Clip $5 at Golden Oak Out Post. It lights up in two areas and was originally released in 2018.


Birthday gifts for my son who turned 16 years old!


Stop by Celebration Central located Town Square Theater and sign the Celebration Guest Book! We received invitations, stickers and Mickey confetti. I'm not sure how long this is going on but it's a cute keepsake!


Not a large candy haul but it works for us. The Mickey lollipops were given to us by dancers from the Zootopia Party Patrol!


If you're interested in collecting Transportation Cards you need to ask for them! My son has been collecting them for years same with the Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom cards.

It's late and I'm tired! Have no clue how I'm going to bring all this home!!!

I hope these show up for order online. I have been wanting the orange Halloween ears for two years but haven't gotten them yet because I am usually there on Halloween. These are even cuter!

These?

Awesome, where did you find the hitchhiking ghosts?
Can’t you have the hotel ship everything?

I know last night's party had unusually low attendance so people can't assume things will apply to any other party... but I would love to know how long the waits were for some of the characters who typically have long lines (Jack & Sally, Seven Dwarfs, Moana).

Great party last night!
Entered at 2 with AP—had just stormed so the Featival of Fantasy parade was delayed (had been planning to watch but skipped).

Before the official start time we rode Space, HM, and PP with FP. Also picked up a FP for Pooh and Dumbo. Did Carousel 2 times, barnstormer 3 times, Under the Sea, and enchanted tales as well.

Got in line for Minnie at 640 and maybe 8-10 people ahead of us. She came out at 7...similar lines for Donald and Daisy. Did 5 TOT trails, watched Lady Remanata in front of HM and did the magic shot in front of HM. Also met Cruella roaming around BOG—she stopped for pics and a chat!

Sat down in front of Pecos Bills to watch 1st parade at 815 with a front row seat—there were quite a few people already sitting. Got wedding cake cupcake and ate while waiting. DH and DD went on Big Thunder with a 10 min wait while I stayed at our spots. Could have walked up much later but would have been 2-3 people deep.

After parade we walked straight to Moana and there was only a 5 minute wait! Then did Prates as a walk on. Did two TOT trails, stopped for Dole Whip and watched fireworks while riding Magic Carpets twice in a row.

Rode Space with a 15 min wait about 11 and then ended up watching second parade in front of Guest services at exit—walked up about 5 minutes before and there was plenty of room. That seems like a great place to watch without having to stake out a spot so early—also allowed for a quick exit since we were too tied to catch the midnight show of Hocus Pocus. All in all it was a great time

Had a blast! Very nice weather and low crowds! Rode several rides with minimal waits and cast members were amazing, and very giving with the candy! We have the most we’ve ever gotten from a party!
We went to the candy store on Main Street and was randomly given a “best costume” pin from cast member working there so that made us feel good even though we saw costumes that were way better than ours! We ran into a couple dressed as Dustin and Suzie and had our pics made (but don’t want to post it since I didn’t get permission beforehand).
The new castle projection is better than any we’ve seen. That, along with fireworks is better than Hallowishes, in both of our opinions.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

We were there last night too. Definitely better crowds than the sold out VAH.

Splash, BTMRR, Buzz were virtual walk ons most of the night. We rode 7DMT with a 15 minute wait (jumped in line with about 5 minutes left in fireworks). Space was pretty consistently 20 minutes. PotC went walk on after first parade and beyond.

Peter Pan did go down very late in the night so we never got to ride it.

Sorry it’s brief but hope it helps someone.

Follow up from the 8/27 party now that we're home. Our haul:


Once the ToT lines had died down such that there was no wait, my girls would walk up to each of the barrels at a treat spot. I was telling them we had already gotten our candy for this spot and had to go back around, but the CMs would just smile at the girls and toss extra handfuls into their bags. The things you get away with when you're cute!

Had an amazing fine last night .

We loved Cruella’s . We were allowed to check in prior to 9p. Left and came back .

Mgr greeted us all warmly and let us in around 9:20 . There were CMs holding trays of alcohol to grab as you came in .

Ran for outdoor seating . Loved watching HH and Boo to you while sipping wine and munching on snacks !

Left for fireworks the did Splash Space . Then back in time for 2nd boo . Decided to sit on patio vs reserved standing viewing .

Again !!! Loved that.

I’ll try to check in later. Been so busy !! Parks are empty !

You can go through the lines as many times as you want. Looks like an awesome candy haul!

We did dinner at Skipper Canteen on Aug 27th party. Had a 4:05 reservation. Dinner was delicious, service was good and we were out by 5:30 at the latest. We were a little late getting there.

I know, but I'm not talking about going around again. If there were 3 barrels next to each other at one spot, they were going to all three barrels. Not when people were waiting, but when we were the only family getting candy at the moment.

Has anyone done the party solo? Is it worth it? I’ve never done it before and no one coming with me wants to do it. They are also leaving before me, so I’ll have a day to do it by myself if I decide.

I did last year. It was awesome!! I could do what I wanted without having to worry about what someone else wanted to do. Wait for a character? Fine! NOT wait for a character? Fine! Ride something multiple times and skip other rides? Fine! Skip the Hocus Pocus show? Fine! If I was with someone, I would feel like I needed to do what they wanted also even if I did not want to.

I went by myself to the first party last year. I went by myself to the first party this year, although I did stop to say hi to a castmember I know. If you want to attend, I see no reason to skip it just because you don't have someone who wants to accompany you.
