We went for our second Bash on 10/26. It was better than our first night in multiple ways, which I didn't think was possible. Most of it came down to luck and timing, but costumes seemed better also.
We hit up multiple character trails twice, including Ernesto, Madam Mim, and Mother Gothel. We were astounded to be the only visitors in with Mother Gothel and Agatha during two unexpected moments. It made for on-point interactions, with Gothel reminding us to always listen to our mothers. Agatha posed for pictures, AND was amusingly manipulative. We caught Ernesto immediately after a parade with no wait. As a small group of us approached the stage, he chided "Ah, now that THE parade is over, it's okay to come and see Ernesto". Mim answered a question, and even did a remarkable chicken cluck. Judge Doom reprimanded a group of stragglers, waiting for the next dipping. He said that standing around was no way to catch a rabbit.
Character meet and greets seemed better also. We lined up for the Sanderson Sisters just prior to the first parade, and were treated to a 25 minute wait time. Also were able to meet Prince John, who insisted that we kiss his hand first.
We never found a magical time when Villains Grove was quiet, but the line was fairly short when we went during the second parade. Earlier in the evening, the line was much longer.
We managed to slip in a few rides prior to and during the party. We also had an excellent dinner beforehand at Carthay Circle Restaurant.
For those going tonight, have a great time!
