"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

Has anyone done a VIP Tour on a party night and can tell me the location of the parade and fireworks viewing?
I’ve not done one personally, but I believe I’ve read that the fireworks spot is the Casey’s garden and parade spot is the train station platform. Someone please correct me if that’s changed!
 


Sorry if this has been asked, but has anyone ever tried to stake out a spot really early (like, even as early as around 6:30) somewhere in front of the castle and been able to watch Hocus Pocus, parade (front row) and fireworks (with a good view of the castle)? We are thinking about just paying for a second party ticket during our trip and camping out in one spot to see all three, and doing only those that night. The cost would be less than the dessert party (only fireworks) or the new rumoured parade add-on, which would only get us one box checked with each.
 
Does anyone know when they will release the party info? Map and spots?
Last year the map was available on the day of the first party, not before. They don’t tell you which characters will be where or exactly where the trick or treat spots are. You have to wait for people attending the first party to report back.

I’ll take a stab at this. I don’t believe a 3-in-1 spot exists. Not saying pp haven’t done it I just don’t see how. The sweet spot to see the parade and Hocus Pocus I’ve circled in red. As for as the fireworks I think your best bet is to move further away from the castle anywhere on the last image.

The fireworks are new and I believe they include more projections. Last year a few pp reported closed off areas, I don’t recall what for nor where but if you’re in that area you will be asked to leave. Lastly the heat and humidity index no matter the party will be intolerable for that amount of time.

Thank you kindly for your efforts :)! We’ve only ever watched the parade from Frontierland, but with the crowds we saw packed four rows deep in our formerly “open” areas over an hour before the first parade on a non-sold out party night last year...I’m grasping at straws.

I've read similar reports but when comparing packed crowds at Frontierland vs the hub, the hub wins hands down at up to 8 deep. To save a spot there one would probably need to secure spots 1.5-2 hrs prior maybe more. Typically we separate them, one party do 2nd parade and midnight HP and the other party focus on fireworks. Keep on eye on the weather too!

Unfortunately we have an early-bird kiddo who is definitely not one to make it past the end of fireworks...if he could stay up until midnight, it would save me a lot of time and effort ;)!
 
Here is a silly question: once the party is over for the night and if you are in line for candy, do they really give you what is left in the barrel because they can’t take an open box of candy back to the back?? I just watch the WDW couple video and they filled a bag of candy!!!

:laughing: Let's just say they are more generous later in the evening. Plus you can circle around and get more from the same location! ;)

I think @dachsie holds this record! I believe the item was applesauce, right?
