Can anyone offer helpful info re: Mickey's Halloween Party and park hours in late October years past? Trying to book a trip and Disney says dates/times are not set yet. Wondering if its worth it to book 5 days if three are party nights and we won't be able to stay in the park. We were thinking about purchasing tickets for one Halloween party night. TIA.

The Halloween party is definately worth the price. There are many things that are not shown during the regular park hours, such as the Halloween Screams fireworks and everyone can trick or treat around the park - BaseballMickey_CM 2992.0 #15 12:29PM

Thanks BBM. Is the Halloween party only in Disneyland and can we go to DCA on the nights that we don't do the Halloween party? We will for sure do the Halloween party for one night. - CamEli 176.1 #1949 12:46PM

In the past couple years, yes. It's only been at DL. - IDVandalSkipperCM 1326.0 #61 12:47PM

Hope no one minds if I share a few pics of my family. Joined MW after our last trip so not live. But I so enjoy the MW family and wanted to share.

I actually appreciated the pictures! Put a big smile on my face to see such happiness - MarshaMouse 2935.4 #16 7:24PM

Welcome! Great pics! :) - SleepyTortuga 287.2 #698 7:07PM

For those of you who live a distance away, how long is your average trip to the parks? My last was 4 days and didn't seem to be enough.

My longest was 5 full days, but we try to do 3 day trip every other month or so! - sunshinegrl 192.8 #1755 8:50PM

We are 3 and a 1/2 hours away! And we are definate weekend warriors'! - ZeroLove 13.1 #6123 8:59PM

We live 18 hours away by car! When we were there two weeks ago, we were only able to stay three days. Four days is good, five days are AWESOME!! - mrstoad 240.4 #1133 11:53AM

From my doorstep in southern utah to the tram its about 6 to 6.5 hours depending on traffic! I think we have figured out 4 days is perfect if we have an annual pass if not 5 or 6 would be good. - DlandDude 263.2 #908 11:59AM

We just ordered our photopass disc from our trip a few weeks ago. Such a great value for those considering it (IMO). We got over 100 pics in 4 days and the photographers in the park were amazing!

Another tip is to edit all your photos and add several different frames/backgrounds to each shot before you order the CD of your pix. I will take approx 100 photos and turn them into 500 by applying various Disney backgrounds in the pix. That way, I can print out or order what I want later on at a much cheaper cost (through Costco, for example) than what Disney sells the prints for. - meridafan 1098.0 #75 2:00PM

Thanks, that's a great tip! We just got our CD last month for our 4 day trip and I didn't think of doing that but will definitely remember this when we go back in Feb! - sstarlight 294.5 #656 3:26PM

We did that to Merida! I turned 125 pix into 400 with Christmas options-haha! They give the photo pass free to anyone in the park-& 69.99 to buy cd of all pix-but yep-if you order online 14 days early you get the extra photo pass plus option for the SAME PRICE (otherwise $99.99)wish I knew full 14 day b4 my trip! PLUS-if you go with a large group and split up-you can get more photo passes and combine them @ the photo shop before leaving the parks and share the price with grandma! (note/if you have the plus and want the attraction pix and the +card isn't there-you do need to go back to that ride with the ride# and have it scanned on later-I did this many times!) DON'T FORGET TO TAKE PICTURE OF PASS CARD# on back in case it gets lost; they can still recover your pix that way!!! 😳💦phew-photo pass 101-hope that was clear! - TinkerSchelle 693.8 #150 8:35AM

..and the plus option is good for 14 days! - TinkerSchelle 693.8 #150 8:37AM

I love using the photo pass photographers! We always get the Photo Pass Plus, too. It includes all the pix from the rides that snap your photo, plus any restaurants like Ariel's Grotto and Goofy's Kitchen where you pose for pix, too. Fun! - meridafan 1098.0 #75 9:29AM

Oh, I didn't know about the Plus option. Next time we'll have to try that. Thanks! - CamEli 176.1 #1949 9:46AM

That's the one we got!! Love getting all the attractions shots included. We went on Splash Mountain obsessively just to pose different ways. I haven't laughed so hard! - PeachKay 310.8 #571 12:50PM

My kids get mad every time we see another photo pass Photographer, 'cause they know I'm gonna make them get their pictures taken...multiple times! Hahaha. - meridafan 1098.0 #75 2:20PM

It's really nice. We did add borders and such to many of the photos. One CM even had my daughter hold her hand out palms up and later tinker bell was added to the photo. It looks great. When we get the disc I'll post that one here. It's really cool. - CamEli 176.1 #1949 2:12PM

New to MW. I've read the FAQ's and have been following along for a few weeks but just created an account today. Took my 3 year old to DL for her first visit a a couple weeks ago and we had a great time. MouseWait was a big help! Hi everyone.

Hello and welcome, kudos for doing your homework before posting - Linzee 533.2 #219 10:37PM
