    Any special stuff to know going that time of year? Are the parks more or less crowded than usual?

    Is it rainy?

    Is it hot?

    Is there enough Halloween stuff on display in the parks that your kids don't feel robbed if they don't get tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party?

    Happy to have the whole lowdown!

    MK is decorated for Halloween, but not any of the other parks are.

    Mk does put up more stuff for dthe MNSSHP, but there are still lots of decor to see.
    So have a magical time.

    The also have extra programs that you can do that cost and you have to sigh up.(limited space)I would diffently take at least two days for this event, it is well worth it.

    We've had good luck in mid to late November and late January/early February.
