MNSSHP timing?

[RememberWhen]

Is it possible to watch the 8:30 parade (maybe from frontierland), then see the 9:15 hocus pocus show before hallowishes at 10:15? I suspect we will be headed out after the fireworks. in a few more years DS will be big enough to be up really really late, but currently he crashes when he's done.

We have a 4 year old in tow and won't be doing anything else that day, but he's not a night owl. I can sacrifice hocus pocus if I have to, but I really don't want to.

The only other must-dos at the party are some trick-or-treating and maybe a couple of rides. We have some FPs for earlier in the afternoon, but if we don't make it that's ok. We're there for the party, not really anything else.

If you don't think we can do the parade and hocus pocus, let me know. I'd rather enjoy what we can see than rush around getting from one thing to the next.

Thanks!

Yes easily since all these activities are near each other. The Hocus Pocus show is at the Castle Stage so you can just stay near there to watch the fireworks that you would face the castle for as well, or go a little farther back after the HP show to see them better if you like but yes you should be fine. Hope y'all have a wonderful time.

Thanks. Last time I went to the Halloween party I was pregnant with DS and hocus pocus hadn't started yet. Yay! I'm so excited!

I'm excited for you!! The new Hocus Pocus show is really cool. We enjoyed it last year.

I agree, you should be good! I'd think staying on or near Main Street is your best bet. I'm taking my 5 year old, and while definitely not a night owl, she's stated up really late before (New Year's, special family events, etc) and usually it just takes a good nap in the afternoon to keep her going, but we'll leave whenever she ends up getting cranky. I'm hoping your little guy surprises you and ya'll can stay out a bit longer.

Thanks! I'm hoping he holds up. He loves fireworks, but he has slept through them in the past, so if he's done he's done. We have breakfast planned that morning and then nothing else. He doesn't nap anymore, but hopefully having a relaxing day will carry him through the evening. Or maybe enough pool time will tire him out enough to nap. I'll cross my fingers.
Thanks everybody!

That's my plan! We don't have anything planned the day except MNSSHP, so I'm going to take her to the pool where she will hopefully exhaust herself enough to nap in the afternoon so that we can head to Magic Kingdom and not worry about having to leave early, though we will if we have no other choice. Haha. Have fun!
