| Apart from Halloween parade and fire works what exactly do you get for your money?
Is it worth it?
Do they clear the park before they allow those with party tickets in?
How much is it?

| | Yes it is a blast !! It is usually about $40 and yes they do clear the park, the day ticket holders have to be out by 6pm, you have to be a ticket holder ( or wristbands in this case ! ) so no queues for any of the rides ! you get a trick or treat bag and can fill it up around various parts of the park, some of the costumes are brilliant, I'm sure you would love it. Definately on my agenda for next time I am there at that time. |

| We went the year before last and are going again this year. It is a great night out. We all dressed up and that really adds to the atmosphere. There were trick or treat stations everywhere and our kids had loads of candy.
Most people seemed to be soaking up the atmosphere and getting candy so the queues for the rides were non existant. We went on all the rides several times. The fireworks are fabulous. We didn't see the parade but I've heard its great.
You can get into the park from around 4.30pm with your MNSSHP ticket without needing a normal entry ticket. They put all the ticket holders in a separate area when the park closes at 6pmm and clear everyone else out. Then you're right in the park and ready to go when the party starts. |

| They do have a limit so it more or less guarantees very short queues for all rides. We have been for the past 2 years and we all absolutely love it! The parade is the best one I have ever seen so it's well worth picking a spot for. My friend and I bought some fabulous witches costumes for our daughters aged 9, 8 and 6 and the three of them looked sooooo cute. The year before my youngest daughter then aged 5 told me it was the best night of her life. In my opinion this evening is worth every penny

| | What we found when we went was that even though our daughter was 17 or so and none of us dressed up the friendship between people who wouldnt normally have bothered to speak to anyone outside their party when in the parks. The costumes were a great icebreaker and added to a fun night or everyone, next tiem we said ewe would join in and dress up as so many people had. |

| This sounds great - we are going in October so I think this is a 'must do ' for us - my boys love Halloween
Do you need to to buy tickets in advance, or can you get them in the parks during the day ?
What about the Universal Halloween nights ? I think I read somewhere they were adults only ?
Thanks

| We went to Universal's Halloween Horror night a few years back. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone less than teenagers. I spent the whole evening a bag of nerves. It was very dark, very misty and there were 'actors' jumping out at you at every turn. I didn't even brave one of the mazes - which look very scary - I did watch a video of one online and was glad I didn't go in.
DH thought it was great and anyone who is a bit less of a scaredy cat than me would enjoy it. He's going again this year with braver friends and I'm babysitting.
If you like being scared give it a go. On the positive side - nobody seemed to bother with the normal rides so I just did that instead with no queues.
MNNSHP is nothing like Universal. It's not at all scarey and great for kids. I'll be sticking with Disney.
You can buy MNNSHP online via the disney site. I just got mine through the post. |

| Me again ! Done a search on a couple of official Disney sites, but all I can see is a number to call once you are in Florida to order the tickets. Could someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks |

| Think I must be going blind  as i can't see where to order them online - all I can see is the phone number, and the option for tickets just seems to be normal park tickets.
Maybe I am on the wrong Disney site ? |

| It is a bit tricky to find. If you go to the Disney site and click on 'Tickets and Reservations'.
Then you get some dropdown boxes - select UK and Tickets only. Finally you get to a ticket page where you can select 'Special Events' on the dropdown box and this will give you a page where you can buy various tickets. MNSSHP is half way down. |
