I was there for Halloween on 2017 and while we had a great time thanks to some awesome CM's, this year we are planning to go another day. It was packed, since everyone wants to be on main st for the parade, show and fireworks, lots of people staking out their territory well over an hour before the shows, so I would recommend doing the same thing if you want a decent spot to watch the early parade..or stay for the later one as that one was less crowded. Unfortunately being one of the last party dates, they were sold out of a lot of the awesome souvenirs for the party (I was really hoping for the Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket) I wish they would reserve enough to last for all the parties..but what can you do. I do suggest getting in line for whatever character you want to meet the most ASAP, we did that and were able to meet Moana and the 7 Dwarves by 8 and had the rest of the night to watch the parades, shows and fireworks with candy stops in between.
