[Question] Mickey's Trick or Treat Party weeknight

[Lalalex]

We've all heard the ups and especially the downs of MToTP this year but everything I've heard about crowds etc. have been based on a weekend trip. Has anyone gone on a weeknight (not a friday)? we're going next wednesday, 10/21 and I was wondering what the differences are in the crowds, I'm assuming they are smaller can anyone confirm that? Also does anyone have tips for going with a toddler? Thanks!

Me too!! I heard Thursday nights are the slowest nights.

I am interested to see some more feedback too. We are also going next Wed 10/21.

So far the next two Fridays and Halloween are sold out while the Wed/Thursday nights still have tickets available. I think I saw one other post of someone who went on a Thursday and thought that it wasn't very crowded. Seems like a bulk of the posters are going Friday nights.

We're going on the 31st -- I'm beginning to think we should have gone during the week, instead. Although it's sure to be crowded, I was hoping they'd do something a little special for the actual Halloween day event.

We were there last Friday, my wife and I, plus our 11 month son who was dressed as Dumbo and the park was packed but not too bad to get around to the characters, the longest wait we had was to get pictures with sMickey & Minnie. The longest line for rides was Toy Story Mania, at 30 mins., but other then that we walked on to all the rides. The parade was terrible, it looked liked it was a last minute addition and it showed. In my opinion for the price of the ticket versus the value of return it was O.K., so in my opinion it was worth the price of admisssion, but they do need to come up with a better parade.

Thanks for the info #1Goofy good to know!

I hope we end up hearing from some people who went on a Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe Cadensmama07 will help us out after her trip! I hope so!

Good to know Thursday's aren't that busy. We're going next week and I was worried it might be really crowded. I'd rather it was slower honestly though I'm sure I'll miss seeing some cool costumes.

I wouldn't consider it a last minute addition if it's the same thing they had last year...

Re: Mickey's Trick or Treat Party weeknight

Ok, after going last night. I recommend a weeknight. I see how crazy it would be on a weekend. Arg. But last night was great. Lite crowds and shorts lines for candy. Oh, if you have lil ones.. i recommend the Cavalcade. SO MUCH FUN!

Thanks for the follow up. I saw you pics in the other thread. It looks like you guys had a great time.

Did it really take you over an hour in line to see Mickey and Minnie?

Ya it was really long.... But the good thing about the line is that All kids have other kids to play with. Caden played with TInkerball and a witch! It was so cute. I brought my Blackberry to play games on.. I recommend doing that. I got in the line at 745pm and we were done by 900pm.

The only bad thing in my experience, I was by myself, so I had to do a diaper change in line. Kinda awkward but it all worked out. LoL

I def. recommend to all families with young kids. So much fun. But I also HIGHLY recommend a week night. Crowds were so lite. And start in the back of the park and work your way to the front... everyone goes the opposite way... SO MUCH EASIER!!!

OH, and hit the candy spots at the end of the night... they hand out bigger handfulls. LoL
