Disney has upped the ante this year with Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party.

In addition to Hallowishes fireworks and 2 showings of the Boo-to-You parade, as well as the family photo - Disney is offering more candy then ever before.

So that's what happens when you let Goofy run the place? This years candy "sponsor" is Disney's brand, Goofy's Candy Company.

This year will have 60% more candy than last year, an increase from 7 million pieces given out to trick-or-treating guests to a whopping 11 million (that's 11,000,000) pieces of candy.

In addition to treat locations, candy will be given out along the parade route to waiting guests and in "surprise" locations. The candy offered this year wont be unique to each location but rather feature a mix at each location so that the lines move better too.

Goofy's Candy Company is making its mark as a Disney brand - recently an entire section of Epcot's MouseGear was redone to the brand with a "Tons-o-Fun" area featuring 130 candy dispensers and 51 candy bins.

The brand includes jelly beans, M&Ms, Tootsie Rolls, taffy, Hershey Kisses, non pareils and much more.

CM's working the MNSSHP events will be wearing Goofy's Candy Co. aprons and a float in the Boo-to-You parade will be themed to the sweets as well.

Merf, as always, thanks for the update!

So, can someone do the math, and figure out for the days that they are passing out candy, and the expected attendance for those days, how many pieces of candy per guest does that equate to on average?

If every day sells out, about 37 pieces per guest.

More "average" attendance - 62 to 48 pieces per guest.

To put that in perspective, candy sells for halloween in bags that hold like 15 pieces (typically for things like mini candy bars and in my case, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups).

Keep an eye out for the Treat Trail in adventureland, it looks like it will be really neat!

Everyone gets candy and a trick or treat bag :) That's what makes the event fun.
