Just bought our Mickey's Halloween Party tickets that went on sale today! This will be our first year going to this, anyone else's first time? Any thoughts or fun stories from you seasoned Halloween-time goers? Can't wait!!

Wear a costume, even the grown ups get to at the treat parties! If you are not an ap, be sure to come early (up to 3 hours) and do all the regular rides and stuff first so you have the whole evening to do the special photo ops, dance parties, and trick or treating. If you do go for the candy, bring a big bag. ๐Ÿ˜œ - bluefairy  627.3 #174 4:06PM
Wow, great advice! Thanks! I'm totally dressing up. I'm thinking probably I'll be Alice, my husband the Mad Hatter, and our 2 yr old the Cheshire Cat :) - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:42PM
Oh my gosh that will be the CUTEST!!!!! - adisneyfamily  515.5 #228 6:00PM
Omg that is soooo awesome costuming!!!!!!!!!!! - LoveDisneyDucklings  28.6 #4445 6:12PM
Thanks!! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 8:32PM
Why "if you are not an ap holder?" Are ap holders not allowed to go in before the party starts? I thought I read how things go....somewhere....but of course I don't remember. ๐Ÿ˜ณ - PeachKay  310.6 #558 11:00PM
What I mean is, those who are not ap holders may want to take advantage of the additional hours in the park before the party begins. Those of us who are APs and can go regularly don't need to worry as much about the "regular" activities. ๐Ÿ˜‰ - bluefairy  627.3 #174 3:48AM
Going for the first time this year!!! Girls are รผber excited!!!! - WickedWench  576.2 #191 4:22PM
We went last year and it was so much fun! Looking forward to your posting! - darodrig  224.3 #1305 4:17PM
Yay! I love hearing from other people how fun it is! And I can't wait to post :) - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:43PM
I'm planning on making it to one of these this year, and I can't wait!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป - DisneyFanZoe  1098.9 #75 4:23PM
Yay! Have so much fun! I know we will :) - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:44PM
Don't be afraid to get back to your childhood and go trick or treating.  I love watching all the grownups with their bags (bring an extra, it helps) lining up and saying trick or treat, the smiles are huge, everyone is so happy.  and the rides take about 5 minutes to go on.  lots of great photo ops too.  lots of people dress up, lots don't, it is up to you, just don't wear something that will get in the way or hit other people in the crowd like huge fairy wings or hats, etc...  and have tons of fun!!!!!! - secretagentangel  670.2 #154 5:47PM
Awesome!! We will definitely be a bunch of big kids, and will bring an extra big bag :D - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 6:01PM
last year we were blessed to go 3 times but ended up with 60 pounds of candy total (my brother is mentally disabled, he had to trick or treat the whole time every night) we had so much I gave most to our church and the local veterans hospital. Disney is great on the candy they give!! i had to keep making trips to the locker though to put the candy away!! oh, and if you get a locker that day, get it inside the park!!! - secretagentangel  670.2 #154 6:09PM
You are amazing! - adisneyfamily  515.5 #228 7:20PM
thanks, so nice of you to say!! - secretagentangel  670.2 #154 7:22PM
Yes, you are amazing! And thats a great idea to rent a locker that night! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 8:34PM
For scary it is Knotts, but for great fun it is totally Disney! Definitley wear a costume and you will be amazed at all the work people put into them. My grown son was a Jedi and was aked if he worked there. So much fun, come early! - thumperluv  3.2 #22083 4:11PM
How fun! We'll definitely dress up and come early! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:45PM
If you are a great costumer and choose to dress as a disney character or castmember, be aware that Disney may stop you and ask you not to pose for pictures with other guests. - bluefairy  627.3 #174 3:52AM
If I had fun working many of them last year, its probably fun for guests :)  - BaseballMickey_CM  2863.0 #16 4:19PM
And I bet it's probably fun for cast members! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:46PM
*squeals!!* I am so excited i can't even tell you!!!! Advice from our seasoned Halloween party timers is sooo helpful for us new partygoers, thanks!! Now I have to come up with a new costume this year, something Disney for sure!! - adisneyfamily  515.5 #228 4:32PM
Yes, so helpful!! We'll have to put our heads together to come up with some awesome costume ideas :) - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:46PM
I think we should have a huge MW meetup one night and all dress as pirates or something. or we could do it on a night near halloween with no mickeys party and make one ourselves!!! - secretagentangel  670.2 #154 6:25PM
That sounds fun! We wouldnt be able to do it in October. Unfortunately, we live kind of far and can only make to Disneyland once every year and a half or so :( - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 8:36PM
They are pretty strict about costumes during this time. I have seen people turned away for wearing costumes on a non-party day or without a party wristband. I personally was stopped for wearing a Minnie apron (sold in the parks) and ears on Halloween once. - bluefairy  627.3 #174 3:56AM
Bring a large bag or backpack to put your candy in. The ones they give you fill up fast. It seemed like at the end of the night we got huge handfuls of candy compared to a few pieces early on in the night. Oh, and all the candy stations have healty options too, apple, carrots, raisins, Craisins, and freeze dried apples. - MXPrincess399  482.1 #246 4:43PM
make sure the bag has good handles (ie: a re-usable shopping bag is good). - BaseballMickey_CM  2863.0 #16 4:58PM
Ooh, great tips!! Thanks! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 8:37PM
Ask for both the candy and the healthy option, they have to give it to you. ๐Ÿ˜ - bluefairy  627.3 #174 3:49AM
*taking notes* thanks everyone! I am so excited for our first ever Mickey's Halllween party!! - IveGotaLaughingPlace  243.2 #1073 4:55PM
I'm totally taking notes too! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:51PM
YES!!! A place where grown ups can trick or treat, I'm so in!!!! - goofystwin  218.8 #1370 7:48PM
Haha, I'm with you!! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 7:55PM
Is the sale for passholders still on? - psyme  151.5 #2268 4:09PM
I think I'll buy my tickets tonight, we're going October 12th. I've already paid for everything else on the trip!!  - MrsMears  212.3 #1455 4:35PM
Nice! That's the way we do it too, pay for it all leading up to the trip. Then there's nothing to worry about when it's time to go! - GibsonGirl87  281.3 #724 5:50PM
This year will be our first time, too. We have our tickets and are going in October - Bo22  331.1 #469 5:37PM

I was reading comments on "Disneyland Halloween Time" on fb and it's weird to see people's real names, I wondered if there were any MWers on there!! - adisneyfamily  515.5 #228 7:09PM
