Hi Ladies,


Do you think that the first night for the MNSSHP is typically very crowded?

We went to the 2nd party in 2004 and it was great! It was more crowded than I expected, but it wasn't terrible. I don't think the earlier parties sell out, but the last few will, as well as the last couple Christmas parties.

This is the first year that they have any in Sept (well, they may have had a Sept 29 or 30 one last year, but not THIS early), so I really don't think a lot of people REALIZE there is a party at that time.

However, the crowds during the day at that time may be a little heavier than traditionally due to the free dining plan promotion and the preschool promotion. Probably not holiday/summer crowded, though.

I don't think a Sept MNSSHP will be as crowded as a MVMCP 5 days before Christmas. The biggest factor to me would be in what time you leave the next day. Are you flying or driving? From doing MVMCP you know it can be a late and exhausting (but oh so fun) night and if you are leaving anytime before noon and still need to pack, make sure you haven't forgotten anything, eat and either get to the airport or load the vehicle it can make for a cranky morning. But if you're leaving later it shouldn't be a problem.

We attended the MNSSHP in 2004. The Friday before Halloween (Sunday). It was sold out that night and we still only waited 10 minutes for 1 ride. The rest we walked on to.

I would say go for it. It is a lot of fun.

We are attending 9/29...and leaving 9/30. We don't leave until late on 9/30 so it won't be too much of an issue.

Theresa,

That is great that you will be there on one of the dates. I have been trying to justify a weekend trip with the children. I just can't justify the cost of airfare alone. :( Are you going to go????? I can live vicariously through you.:)

We've gone the last few years and only found a crowd when we went right before Halloween.

I know you've already made your decision and I think it's a good one.

We got our pictures taken. WE got tw in the mail. Not sure about the meals. There are things for sale that night that you can only buy on MNSSHP nights...like special pins.
