Not So Scary Halloween

[skellitterixx]

My friend is really wanting me to go with him this year. I haven't been since I was little. I had a HORRIBLE time at the Villians party at hollywood. The crowds were atrocious (they had to direct us to epcots parking) I'm a passholder so I've faced crowded parks before no problem-except last night. Free walking characters is a horrible idea in that sort of mass. What can I expect NSSHP to be like?

I'm always hesitant to attend things like this during our trips to WDW because of crowds! I really dislike crowds a lot, so I try and avoid them, so I'm interested to hear the answers to this one

I go every year. They limit the number of tickets for the event. I dislike crowds also, but I have never felt like it was overcrowded at the Halloween party. Here is my outfit for this year.

The Halloween Party sells a limited amount of tickets. The crowds much smaller then what was at the Villains Party last night.

Here are some shots of the crowds -
Parade (the second is always less crowded)

Fireworks - This is the most crowded time

I was at one of the sold out nights last year. I hate crowds, we had a great time.

Thank you all so much!!! Do you know if there are freewalking characters or lines?

I think they are all in lines except the Dance Party characters and they just dance with the guests no autographs.

I was at MNSSHP last night and the crowds were not an issue at all. Space Mtn. Had a 5 min line all night. Rode it multiple of times.

GO WITH HIM! They limit the tickets sold and it's seriously my FAVORITE event. I'm thinking of going twice this year!

The fireworks were awesome last night, well worth the price of admission and no crowds unless you want to hit the candy trails. Don't miss Carlotta at the haunted mansion and the dead singers in frontierland. Truly special.
If you are into Capt'n Jack he does a M&G in Adventureland that is pretty good.
Go, you will love it, I am so glad I didn't do the Villians last night.

I go every year it is a tradition. When are you planning to go? That will determine crowd levels as well. They limit tickets to 20k. That may sound like a lot but stretch that many people out over the park and crowds are not so bad. The second parade is less crowded and even after Hallowishes the crowd drops. I have been on PPF with my son without having to exit. Closer to Halloween larger crowds as are the Friday night parties. Try for a Sunday.
Give it a try you will have fun. Wear a costume and trick or treat and really feel like a kid again.

We're doing MNSSHP for the first time next week, but we've done MVMCP before. Fireworks were really the only time I felt the crowds, but as the crowds dispersed, you could really tell it wasn't a regular park night...i.e. the mass of people trying to move wasn't nearly as thick. We also opted to view the 2nd parade so getting a spot wasn't as much of an issue.

The MNSSHP is nothing like the mess at DHS last night. Even a sold-out night won't be anything like that.

That was an anomaly.

Don't let the worry of a crowded park scare you away. I've been three times and have never felt crowded like in the summer. Don't miss the parade, it's the best IMO.

Really looking forward to this. I was worried we'd have had our fill of the MK after 5 days park hopping at WDW, so this will put a different twist on things. Going on a Friday the week before but sounds like the crowds will be ok.

Love love love the pics. I cant wait to see in person. Ive never been to MNSSHP. I am so excited!

FORGET ABOUT IT!!!! If you don't like crowds (2 company, 3's a crowd?) don't go, but seriously. You will have a good time, Nothing scary, and the park is not crowded except for Halloween night itself.
