I did last year and had a blast. I did Pooh and gang, Donald/Daisy and the gravediggers, got boatloads of candy and rode a few rides. Go for it!Has anyone done the party solo? Is it worth it? I’ve never done it before and no one coming with me wants to do it. They are also leaving before me, so I’ll have a day to do it by myself if I decide.
Awesome, where did you find the hitchhiking ghosts?
Can’t you have the hotel ship everything?
MORE COSTUME PICS?!! PLEASE <3
We went to the candy store on Main Street and was randomly given a “best costume” pin from cast member
You guys look AMAZING!View attachment 431475

LOVE her!!!
Would anyone be able to check my plan for MNSSHP? Just me and my 10 year old who probably can’t last past 11 on September 20. She loves fireworks and hates parades. We are using park tickets at 7am that morning to get all the rides done.
5pm Garden Grill
7:00; Sorcerer Card, Monsters Inc TOT, Space Mountain
8:00; grab snack and spot for Hocus Pocus
9:00; Haunted Mansion (outside only), Pirates, any TOT we see with short lines
10:00; grab spot for FW and leave right afterwards. (I don’t mind if we miss projections or Jack if we can exit easily. We are planing on monorail because we are at YC. Would busses be significantly better?

Can anyone tell me if the Headless Horseman only rides on Main Street or does he also start the parade in Frontierland also? We are thinking of scoping out a spot in Frontierland for the parade but my son wants to see him (if it's not raining).
I think you'll be cutting it close to get from Garden Grill at 5 to being in MK at 7. A character meal typically takes about 1 1/2 hours and if they're running even a little behind, you're going to be very close to 7 then taking 2 monorails to MK.
I would plan on a bus back to YC, Epcot will be closed by the time you get there.
I wouldn't think you'll be at MK at 7:00 with a 5pm GG. You'll have to eat, get to the front of Epcot, catch the monorail, transfer at the TTC. I guess it's possible but that all seems pretty tight to me.
Epcot will be closed by the time you're there, so you won't be able to get from the front of the park where the monorail drops you off through to the back for YC. Definitely a bus (or spring for a Lyft) situation.
ETA: Hahaha, @lvcourtneyy, great minds think alike

Thank you so much! I’ve been back and forth with myself on whether to cancel or not. Being that you can check in so early that pushes me towards keeping the reservation. I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to get a good spot for the first parade, have to check in around the same time as the first parade, and miss some of it or get stuck with a terrible spot. Did your entire party need to be present to check in? It’s nice to see that Cruella visits every table, and that she’s not just standing in one place like one of the vlogs I watched. Was she there the entire time or did she take any breaks? Thank you again for this review it has really helped me in my planning!Cruella's Halloween Hide-A-Way

Unlike the Firework dessert parties, you can check in starting at 2pm. We received our Hide-A-Way wristbands at 4:10. Cruella met everyone at their tables and PhotoPass was available. I believe first night reviews of this event ran differently. She spent enough time at each table and was very engaging. Cruella's laughter echoed throughout the building! What a hoot!
As for the food, it was okay. Drinks, well... AWESOME!
Cast Member "Kimmy" was wonderful, very welcoming from the moment you enter Tony's Square Restaurant. She's happy to help. If you have any questions and if she doesn't know the answer she'll find it out for you offering food & beverages while waiting.
Tip: Kimmy held our bags when we left to watch the parade which was extremely helpful, we had a lot of bags! One amazing lady!

They did check for Hide-A-Way wristbands at the Flag Pole and patrolled this area the entire time of the parade.
Yes, your entire group needs to be with you. Kimmy or the person at the podium must put the wristband on your left wrist for you.Thank you so much!
