Your reservation time assigns you to a show. I forget what the time cut-offs are now, although it usually shows you on the reservation website.
I hope so too!
We wont have any idea until the first party since it was at DL the last few years. The crowds are generally lower than a regular park day excluding Halloween night which tends to be very busy.
That's kind of what I was thinking as well
This is why I haven’t taken my six-year-old yet - she can usually hang pretty late, but sometimes she gets tired waiting for fireworks and watches them with her head on my shoulder and I just think, “nope, I couldn’t pay those ticket prices and then have it be a night where she’s a zombie by 9:30!”
Yes, we've seen some little ones having a great time and other kids, even older ones, dragging or begging to go back to the hotel. And it makes us so sad to see parents yelling at their kids because "we PAID for these tickets so you're going to have FUN!" And even at MHP, there were kids who were really scared and just not ready -- and it wasn't always easy to gauge by age alone. Every kid is different and parents/aunties/uncles/grandparents/etc. need to be wise and practical when it comes to Halloween parties. And what about the parties where things go totally out of your control -- like the party last year where it poured rain all night? Can your kids still have fun? Or will the weather ruin everything? We saw families having fun in drenched clothes and families who were clearly miserable and grumpy, complaining about everything. Disney doesn't refund tickets because of bad weather.
They don’t have anything out for the entertainment schedule yet in October. I don’t even think they have regular dinner reservations available yet. They’re probably still figuring out the hours.
