For those of you whose candy is getting screened, do any of you have TSA precheck? We have precheck and don't check bags so I'm wondering if we'll be alright. Hoping to avoid being at the airport any earlier than we have to.
I'm feeling bummed that no one will know who we are Disney bounding as. Micky's shirt is pretty clear cut for fans of Tangled, but mine might be tougher. Is this way too obscure? If so I may just ditch the lantern and just look "normal". I do have prominent, natural grey streaks in my very dark hair.
here's what we are doing:

I couldn't figure out how to post a pic so I did it with link above with my Shutterfly (sorry, it's been a long while)
My daughter and her NOW FIANCE (Proposed yesterday at MK!!) and my grandson did this lastnight during party.
We did party on Oct 22nd. Glad we did it but likely a one and done for us. For us, it simply seemed far too crowded and we weren't really into the trick or treating. Shout out though to Colonel Sanders - a definite crowd favorite!
We also went Tuesday the 24th. We had FPs for Peter Pan (330-430) and 7DMT (430-530) then we went over to Adventure Land and started our rides. We made it to Fantasy Land and then got a spot for the Fireworks about 45 mins before the start. We had no trouble getting a full front castle view. After the amazing show we walked over to Frontier Land and got a spot on the deck in front of Country Bears. Some in our group went to get snacks (dole whips and pretzels) while we waited for the start. While I've seen the Christmas parade a half dozen times and always thought it was my favorite, I think Boo to You has replaced it! It was SO SO good! The headless horseman was even better than I imagined, and we had the grave diggers stop right in front of us. It was just so good. After the parade the kids wanted to ride BTMRR again -- they rode 4 x's back to back -- and then we did our only ToTing of the whole party at Splash Mountain. The kids went through 3 times and came back with full bags. After that we walked slowly to the front of the park, returned our rented stroller (forgot about that -- around 9pm my 6 year old ran out of steam, so I decided to rent a double stroller. The lady was so nice, she gave it to me for free since the night was almost over! My 6 year old took a 1 hr power nap and was ready to go after that).
The worst part of the night is always the bus ride back. We were at Pop and had a 30 min wait to get on the bus, and it was standing room only. A nice man let me take his seat because I was holding a sleeping child, but the other 8 in my party had to stand. We got back to our rooms around 1am.
We only came down for the party, staying 1 night. We didn't have any park tickets. On Wednesday we went to Disney Springs for breakfast, shopping, and a light lunch before DME picked us up at 1pm. And that was it. 36 hrs in Disney World.
We got back in January for a week and I'm looking forward to taking it slow.
We just got home yesterday and we went to the party on Oct 26th. One and done for us as well. We were extremely disappointed. It was way more crowded that we thought it would be. The wait for Big Thunder was 45min to an hour all night... even after 11pm. The wait was that long when the park was open! We went trick or treating, rode TWO rides, wandered around for a bit looking for a dessert to taste that didn't have lines around the block. About 11:15 we finally broke down and waited about 25 minutes for one dessert and it was okay. Definitely NOT worth the money for us. Sadly, that was our last night in the parks before our Disney Cruise. We ended on a low point Oh well.
That wasn't even all of it. Nine rides broke down while we were in line for them, ON them, or had just stepped off of them. We never got to ride Frozen or ToT at all because they were always down. Disappointed in our stay at POFQ and the awful bus service. We left for our Bahamas cruise on Friday and the weather was so bad we didn't even stop at Castaway Cay. Not our best trip at all
Totally agree with all of this. We were there too on the 26th. It wasn't our first MNSSHP and we were also dumbfounded at the crowds. We had such an amazing party 2 years ago this one was worse in every way by comparison. We hoped to watch the 1045 Sanderson Sisters, yeah nope. It was like mayhem. No where to move, no where to go. We made our way to towards Main Street contemplating whether or not to stay for the parade. My 13 yo son and husband were over it and ready to go as well. I wanted to watch so we stayed and ended up with moms and kids shoving themselves in front of us. total mess. We are done for a while too.We just got home yesterday and we went to the party on Oct 26th. One and done for us as well. We were extremely disappointed.

I am sad because I have to teach and will not be able to take the time off. I do have a UO vacation set for August but if I can fly down for a quick 3-4 day MNSSHP vacation during the semester, I will be there.ME ME ME ME ME ME ME
