Thanks for the information! Much appreciated! Do you happen to know if Hades is in Villains Square for most of the party?
I don't recall seeing Hades as much as some of the other villains, but I didn't spend a lot of time down in Villains Square (mostly I was down there before fireworks and the second parade). I did see him at one of the fixed M&G locations (I think it was the one on the right when facing the train station) at the end of the party. Your best bet is to ask one of the character host CMs if they have any info about Hades. Hopefully they'll be able to tell you if he's coming out and if he's at one of the fixed locations or roaming.
Hey Everyone! We’re going to a party this year and looking forward to it! Does anyone have info on premium popcorn bucket and other novelty item costs? Thanks for any info you can share!
As the PP said, the Poison Apple Caludron bucket is $20 and Oogie Boogie is $18. A carton of popcorn has gone up to $5.00, but the round bucket is still $9.00 (two diferent designs; one in DL and once in DCA).
The Green Poison Apple Stein price varies depending on what you get it with (e.g., ice cream sundae versus soda versus frozen slush versus fruit). I think it was about $18 at the Gibson Girl, $16 with a frozen slush at the lemonade stands, or $14 with a soda.
The Headless Horseman glow straw clip and the pumpkin tire straw were $6 (I think).
The Green Poison Apple Glow Cube was $5 (I think)
The Purple Poison Apple Glow Cube is only available at Carthay Circle Lounge and Restaurant with the Poison Apple-tini ($17).
The HalloweenTime Travel Mug was $7.50.
The Coco Jarrita was $14 (I think) and it's ceramic!
What is typically the busiest/longest line time to enter the actual party? Is it busiest during the early-entry window or closer to the start time for the party?
The lines seemed pretty long to get into DL at the start of the early-entry period, but tapered down fairly quickly.
So excited to be going to our first party this Friday!! Still haven’t thought of a costume . We plan on sleeping in and going to the parks later in the day. Do the turnstiles get backed up before the party starts? Wondering what a good time to get there would be. We’re staying on Harbor and hoping to avoid a long security line
The tickets gates for the party get busy before the party starts, but then thin out. Security...I don't really have any good sense of lines. Sometimes it seems just fine, other times the lines are super long. I expected super long lines when the parks open, but it seems like lines can be really bad at any time of the day. I would allocate about 30 minutes for security regardless of the time of day (hopefully it'll be shorter, but at least then you be less likely to be late).
