MNSSHP - Is it worth the price
Taking my 14yr old DS to WDW in Oct. We are thinking about purchasing tickets for MNSSHP. Is the extra cost worth it?
Thanks in advance

We have been to the party a few times. We love Halloween and dressing up so it was alot of fun for us. We don't go every year but if you have never been I feel it is a must do if you have the finances. It is getting more crowded each year but the fireworks and the parade are worth it at least once. If you have been to the Christmas party we like the Halloween party much better.
First trip May 1996 and many since

When I go with friends, mostly every year, they purchase one less day at the park...we usually go to the water park, come home catch our breath, change into our costumes and are at the gate at 4pm. Dinner ADR at tony's, LTT or Plaza for 4:15 I've gone almost every year for the past ten years. This year I'm going in October so maybe it will be more crowded...usually go in last September.

We have gone the last two years and are going again in September. We LOVE the parade and the fireworks and the dance party with Woody and Jesse is really cool! We like all the special effects and the special photo pass opportunities as well as the 'special' guests that come out around the Haunted Mansion. It's just a different aspect of WDW for us and we love it!

For the Halloween parties - yes
Halloween parade, trick-or-treating throughout the park, fireworks, Villains meet 'n greets and Castle shows, spooky stuff all over...
You can get into the park as early as 4:00pm with *just* your MNSSHP tickets, although "activities" don't start until about 7:00pm when day guests are leaving.
My suggestion, like Pirate Granny says, purchase one less day in the parks on your park tickets. Use that day as your "souvenir-shopping/water park/relax at the hotel pool and drink" day, plan a dinner at Tony's, Crystal Palace, or Liberty Tree Tavern, then enjoy the festivities Usually two parades; go to the second one at about 10:15. It's a lot less crowded, as most families with little ones will watch the first parade. Make sure to have your photo AND video cameras ready for the Ride of the Headless Horseman!

I would for sure recomend the Halloween party, we have gone to 5 or 6 and absolutely LOVE them, the parade is so amazing its crazy!! Also be sure to ride Haunted Mansion, its so neat how the characters are sooo much more in character for the parties! I love it and wouldn't ever miss it if I had the opportunity!! I'd also suggest dressing up on something not terribly constricting (You need to still be able to ride things) but its so fun either way!!

Of all the things we do at WDW, the MNSSHP is our favorite. The atmosphere is amazing. We wouldn't think of missing.
Like most others have said, we usually take the afternoon to either swim or shop at DTD. Then we "power shnooze" for about 45 minutes at the resort. Dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe then boat ride (kids in costume) to the gate. It's a great evening. I'm getting excited thinking about it. Going back is September.!!!

Its just DW and I . We went the 1st time in 2009, and again in 2010. Unusual for us to go 2 yrs in a row, but we had just joined DVC and had to use our points.
The 1st time we did not know what to expect, but we were both pleasantly enjoying the party. Even so, we had missed alot of good stuff. When we returned the following year, we knew better and had a real blast.
We enjoyed ourselve so much that this year, we are doing it again, and bringing DWs side of the family with us.
Is it worth it???
HECK YEAH!!!

We have been to MSSSHP three times, and loved it every time. That being said, since we have already experienced it several times, we would probably forgo it on our next fall visit because of the price. But if we had never gone before, I would say it is worth the price to experience at least once. Know what I mean? If you have never been, I would say it's worth the money to experience at least once. After that you can decide how often to do it again.

We went last year, and after the fireworks, DD was able to go on every ride she wanted to with no line (even splash mountain and Peter Pan) ~ that alone made it worth it... The trick or treating was fun for alll of us also... We did not need all that candy though ended up giving most of it away....

i probably shouldnt say this here, PLEASE dont shoot me, I LOVE WDW honest!! but I think your 14 year old, unless she is very timid, might get more enjoyment from Universal Horror Nights. I would never advise this for younger kids, or older folk, but for teenagers, just maybe??
-
I second Jooyner - if you haven't been it's worth it to experience. When DD's were younger, they really enjoyed it and I did too. But now that the price is so high, I just can't afford to take them anymore.
-
My sister and I saw it last October and loved it! The best place to see the parade is in Frontierland, the fireworks best placeseems to be near the front of the castle. If you're going ,definitely buy the tickets ahead of time and save money. Have Fun!
-
I am trying to decide the same thing. I am really torn as the tickets are really expesive.
Too many trips to count!

I don't know you said your child was 14? My teens (13 and 15, both boys) do NOT want to go to MNSSHP. Now they love Disney and the parks, but have no interest in MNSSHP. We did take them once when they were smaller and they enjoyed trick or treating and the parade. Now, mine are into haunted houses and we go to Halloween Horror Nights over at Universal (an intense experience). They specifically ask not to go to MNSSHP. We took them to HHN for the first time last year (12 and 14)- but they have already experienced haunted houses at home so we thought they were finally ready.We had been before as a couple without the kids because they were too little to go. It's intense and sometimes gorey, so just warning you. We're fine with it but some people would not be.
You know your child and what they like, so if they are into a more "whimsical" experience then yes. If not, then I would skip it.
