With airfare rates these days, I've stopped going for long weekends. Many folks think the Halloween party is better than the Christmas party. I really like the Halloween party but don't think I'd go for a weekend just to attend.
I agree! The party is good, and we quite enjoyed it, but I don't think it is "special trip" worthy, unless you get a super deal on airfare.
Agreed! While we enjoyed the Halloween party, I don't feel it's worth the extra money to fly in just for that.
If you liked Christmas, you'll like Halloween. I actually liked Halloween better, but that's my opinion. As far as flying, that's your decision, but if you'd fly there for Christmas, then I'd fly there for Halloween.
The Halloween Party is *way* better, in my opinion.Quote:

Booked! Excited. A lot of money for a 4 day weekend but kids are growing up and soon off to college so we are going for it! We are going Nov. 1st
:yay: Totally agree, enjoy the family time as long as you can. Happy planning!Quote:

Id rather stay at a deluxe for 2-3 nights, go to the party, and eat at our favorite restaurant, than spend a whole week. But that's just us, and I think you'll have a blast. The halloween party is so fun and festive. The only time I do the MK now is for the parties!
We are doing the exact same thing this year. Can't wait!Quote:

Also, wtih F&WF at Epcot, that makes the trip even better! Both events are worth the long weekend! The other long weekend we took was when the Comedy Warehouse and Adventurer's Club was closing so we could get one last visit to the clubs and see the shows one more time! What a fun weekend!
We are going for three nights but its only a 2 1/4 hour flight so not bad. We are excited to try something new. What do they give you to collect the candy with, a bag?
We love both parties, but NSSHP seems to be the favorite, by a slight edge. We are heading down the week before Halloween and are definitely planning on taking part.
Now we just have to come up with costumes. Last time we went, we were Donald Duck Dynasty and Daisy Duck Dynasty. It was a hoot.
My husband and myself have never been, but my daughter and her family love, love, love the MNSSHP. We are going to Disney in September and I have already purchased the tickets as an Anniversary gift for my daughter, husband and 2kids. They are a little pricey, but they have attended each time we visit and the special event is happening. :thumbsup:

Everyone I have ever gone with has LOVED MNSSHP. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the tickets.
