Candy, dance party, fireworks, headless horseman... Plus, who knows when we'll return and if it will be in the fall. I've read plenty of reviews and posts, but can't decide! Opinions?

To me it all depends on how many are in your group?Are there just 3 of you, if so that would be just under $150. That is how I deside there are 5 of us. My DH and I with 3 kids and I just can't see paying that much $$. For an adult it's about $45-$48 (can't remember) and a child is about $35. I guess what it all boils down to is how many in group and how much extra $$ you'll have to save. I do want to say this everyone that I have talked to just love MNSSHP.

We're doing that again this year and the price was low enough I'm springing for an extra kid. So if you're a DLR regular you may want to do that one instead (if you have a Disney Visa you can get tickets for as low as $26 per person).

Originally Posted By StitchMom84 We love the MNSSHP so much that it's hard to consider going at any other time of year. We have tickets for Halloween this year, but are actually thinking of going again to one of the parties prior to that night as well. They limit the number of people allowed into the parks,which means, on most rides the wait is very short to walk right on. You get to see so many characters out and about. They pull Cinderella's coach back into Fantasyland and you can have your photo talken in front of it. And, it's maybe one of the few ( or even only ) places where you'll find Snow White and all seven of the dwarfs available for photos. Of course, there's the "Boo to You" parade, the special fireworks and all of that Trick or Treating ( and they give out some good stuff ). It's just fun and a little different atmosphere than regular nights. Hope you'll be able to try it, I think you'll enjoy it!

Originally Posted By neekerbell Thank you all for convincing me to go to MNSSHP.

The best part was dressing up in Disney World. I now have a pic dressed as Tinkerbell WITH Tinkerbell. When will I ever trick or treat at WDW again? Probably never. So thank you for making sure we did this time. (And hubby did not wear a costume).
