I went the halloween party this year and it was terrible. The lines to see any character or go tricker treating were well over an hour long. Peter pans flight had a minimum 45 minute wait… at over 150 bucks for 3 people it was not worth it i got more done at magic kingdom on a regular week day in just a few hours than i accomplished at the crazyness that was mickeys halloween party… it was so crowded you couldn’t even walk at times you just stood in a crowd of people as though it were a spring break crowd. And the monorails wouldn’t take people to the park everyone had to ride a boat to get in and this clogged things up heavily as well. I don’t know why this was or if they did this every night.

I’m on the west coast and an annual passholder at the Disneyland Resort. Their Trick-or-Treat party is held at the California’s Adventure Park, where tickets run from $32 (advance) – $42 (day of) and the party is at either 6:30 or 7:30 depending on the day. I haven’t attended, but I am curious if readers have any comments to add about the west coast version of this event.

From the glowing reports, I’ll have to add that to my “extra”-Disney experiences. I used to take the family to the “very Merry Xmas Party” every year but first they stopped giving the free family photo, then they stopped giving the “Merry Xmas Party” button which the kids enjoyed collecting and then fast-passes were stopped and the ride lines were so long that it was like being there on a summer day, so we stopped going. Sounds like the October event is a much better deal.

I have been to Disney maaaaaaaaaaaany times and love the way they do everything. This halloween event is no exception.

I wanted to comment about the “unruly Argentinan teens” as I thought our experiences might have been isolated ones. We stayed at All Star Sports this past July and it was PACKED. I was told there was a soccer tournament (or similiar event) at the sports complex and these were teams. Maybe so but it was crazy. They were out all hours of the night. I had to call security at 3 AM to get them to stop playing soccer on that “football field area” between the 2 buildings (if you’ve been there, you kow what I mean). Wish there was a way they could tell you when you booked if a large youth group was booked for the same time. It wouldn;t make me avoid Disney, just stay at an alternate WDW Resort. When suggested to a WDW Customer Relations rep I was told it would be an invasion of their privacy (hog wash!).

We never went to this event when we lived in FL and had annual passes, and I really regret it. It sounds great, especially the part about walking on to Peter Pan.

The South American packs of teens were a problem for a few years when we had annual passes, then the economy did a nosedive down there and they seeded to disappear for a while. But when we were back for a vacation in June, 2009 (we no longer live in FL), they were back in full force. My husband and I were very disappointed because they are rather unruly; I think those from Argentina are the worst-behaved.

My husband and I had a blast at the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party last year and we have no kids. We loved the fact we were able to get on all the rides with minimal or no lines. The best part was the candy, we felt like kids again.

I took the kids last year and they loved it, too. Disney really does a great job with creating the magic. Well, except for the group of kids from Argentina that tried to jump on the floats as they went by.

Though, I’ve been really disappointed as a FL resident and annual pass holder with the huge unsupervised groups of south american teens. They’re rude, cut lines and just completely out of control. Makes me not want to go to Disney much, especially in the summer.
