We will be there for the 2nd time next week (I am so excited!) we had a blast last time: we all 3 (myself DH and DD then 7)dressed up in costume as did very many other people, some with simple costumes (ours included and some with really elaborate ones)

When you enter the park you get a trick or treat bag and a map so you can follow the candy trail. Most of the rides are open and there is a special halloween parade and fireworks - the fireworks were truly amazing last time.

There is a tent with a dance party going on somewhere (I think it was in Fantasy land but I'm not sure)It was just a whole lot of fun to be in the park after dark, riding the rides with barely any lines.

You will have fun I am sure

Oh I am so jealous! I love MNSHP! We couldn't go this year. We went last year and had a wonderful time. I personally loved the "not-so-spooky" parade. It was great! Especially if your family loves Halloween. My girls dressed up in princess costumes. I wasn't sure how my girls would be till midnight but they lasted and had a blast. And like the other posts, the fireworks are wonderful! Have a great time!!

Yes it runs twice I think.

We didn't see it last time as the first one was cancelled because it rained and we were busy riding Space Mountain (again and again and again) when the second one was on.

Hopefully we will see it next week (I can't believe I wrote that LOL!)We leave TOMORROW!

Yep, the parade usually runs twice (unless bad weather) and the fireworks only go off once.
