Thanks for your report. I'm sorry it was such a bust - wonder if it was really sold out?Last night at the party was miserable - never again! This had been our favorite party last year. It felt like they over-sold it this year. The crowds were insane. We waited 10-20 minutes at treat stops and they gave out very little. Our bags were 1/4 filled after 4 stops and we refused to wait in line all night after that for a few pieces of candy. If you need allergy chips, forget it. We received only one per stop and they gave out one little piece of Wurther's or one little bag of gummies, etc. per chip. That bag was literally empty after turning in our chips. We asked for a "craft" item at the allergy stand and was told no - they were only for someone who couldn't eat anything at all. We waited over 20 minutes for a photo with the black iron wagon after riding Haunted Mansion. We skipped the first parade as people were saving spots from 6 pm on and we couldn't handle fighting the crowds. Waited in line another 15-20 minutes to purchase a snack. After the fireworks we went to ride Space Mountain....so did the rest of the park. We rode the People Mover instead. Was able to ride Space with only a 10 min wait at 11pm though. Then tried to see last parade - we were 5 rows back and had very obstructed view. Please note we were in the park by 4pm. At that time there were no crowds but most party things didn't start until 7pm so didn't do us much good. We ever made it to POTC nor did we do any character meet and greets. We limped out in huge crowds just before midnight. And for this we paid $168 for 2 people with tax. DONE with this party. BTW the fireworks and parade were very good - loved the new fireworks show - and Space Mountain in complete darkness was the best. Beyond that though, the rest was not enjoyable due to the immense crowds and gridlock it created.
