I went to MNSSHP for the first time years ago and have been a few times after that because it was so amazing. Crowds aside (and usually I just say "whatever" about the crowds because sometimes you just can't avoid them. I don't let them ruin my fun time), the parade is fantastic and one of those things you have to line up for ahead of time so you don't miss the headless horseman riding through. The show is great but the real kicker is Hallowishes which might be one of my favorite things EVAH! Its... in a word... AWESOME! The candy, to me, isn't that big of a deal only because I know what it used to be like. You would leave that place with the hugest sack of candy ever! Now, pretty much you just get a little at a time. Doesn't really matter because you'll still never eat it all, but the jaw drop of it all is gone. Costumes are a must though. We wear costumes every time and people??? What is up with you not wearing costumes! I don't get it! Most everyone does and this makes it so much better. I try to pick something that will stick out or get attention like one year my family went too and we all dressed in scrubs. Everywhere we went people would say, "Doctor? Doctor." It was hilarious. Super fun, great ride wait times, awesome trick-or-treating, amazing shows, parades, and fireworks. And the spooky story telling is fun too. Its a must IMHO. :sohappy:
