My wife and I, went to the 09/21
MNSSHP event (Friday night). We got there at 5:30, just in time for our BOG 5:45 reservation. The BOG meal was amazing, and we got to sit in the west wing, by the photo of the beast. My wife loved it. We finished our dinner and met Beast by 7 pm for the official event. We then met Donald and Daisy. We had a 40 minute wait to meet them, but they were great, and it was great getting pics with both of them together.
Then we started to get into a trick-r-treat line, and were told we were cutting into a line. We then saw the line was like another 50 people farther than we thought. We decide to ride the under the sea ride (walkon) and then walk to the dessert party. On the way to the dessert party, we went through trick-r-treat lines in tomorrow land, with little to no waits. The cm's by the monsters inc area were yelling candy all night long to get people to join the line there. It really was amazing seeing the variance in lines for the different trick-r-treat locations.
We then went to the dessert party and really enjoyed all the food but the cheeseburger spring rolls were our favorites.
We had booked the dessert party when it still included the parade viewing spot. So when we were full, we asked cast member to escort us to the flag pole to watch the parade. The parade location was perfect! (attaching photo of parade from our spot)
After the parade, we walked through the shops and then went to reserved garden party spot for fireworks. After the fireworks we explored the parks some and road BTMRR. We also got the light up tangled photo op. And of course we did enough trick-r-treat stops to fill our bags.
The park definitely felt crowded, but we had done the DAH party the night before so rides were not super important, and we just wanted to experience the Halloween stuff (fireworks & parade).
