It really does seem to make a difference being there when the event starts as opposed to a little later. We lingered over dinner at Downtown Disney, so we ended up getting into DCA about 40-45 minutes after the event started. Ran into crowds pretty much everywhere. At first, I just thought it was more crowded, but I think it was just that last time, we were pretty much far in front of most everyone else. 2. They seemed skimpier on the most part with the candy than on the 13th. Candy was pretty much the same. Saw the carrots and green apples again, but didn't see any red apples, and one station had fruit snacks in a Toy Story wrapping, but I didn't get any. 3. We stood in line for a while at the Mickey and Minnie photo op, but the line was so incredibly slow, and then M&M went on a break, so we decided to forego it. 4. The midway games were extremely crowded. The CMs seemed a little harried by all the people. 5. They still had adult t-shirts and sweatshirts for the event, as well as both keychains and the Mickey plush, but at the Paradise Pier store, I didn't see the kid's t-shirt or the picture frame. 6. Lines weren't too bad. We went on Monsters and Soarin. However, the line for Jumpin' Jellyfish at one point was really, really long, which surprised me. 7. Most of the CMs said Happy Birthday to my friend, who was wearing her birthday button, but only a few CMs gave her an extra piece of candy. 8. We ended up hitting two treat stations at the very end of the event. One was a Snickers station. The CM gave each of us a handful of about 5 or 6 pieces. The last station was a mixed candy station, and I got a handful, and when they saw my friend's birthday button, she got a huge handful. 9. Best costume of the night, though it seemed a little cumbersome, was a girl (10 or so?) dressed as Alice, and she had a house that she wore with her arms and legs sticking out, and you could see her face. We ended up in line right behind them on Soarin', so I was able to look at the house (which she had taken off and Dad was carrying) a bit - it looks like they made it themselves, and the workmanship and details was excellent. For the thatching on the roof, it looked like they used the beige plastic grass skirts. Ingenious. /cs
