MNSSHP meet on 21 October About This Page:

[chezp]

OK, as I mentioned in the other post about mid October travellers to Disney, we seem to be agreed on doing a meet at the Halloween Party on 21 October, as there seem to be a fair few of us going.

So, how about we sort out a time and place? I'd like to organise a parade meet, as it's a great opportunity to chat to fellow PassPorters as we wait for the parade and it's fun to stake out a big area with everyone. So, would you rather see the first or second parade? Does anyone have any favourite places to see the parade from?

Over to you guys and then once we know people's preferences, we can sort out a time and place to meet.

As for us, we can do either parade, although we find the second one is usually quieter than the first, so that would be our first preference.

I can do either parade, but would opt for the second if I had to choose. I have no good spots to watch the parade from as I always seem to get bad ones. Hopefully someone else will have a good idea on that. Thanks Chez for starting this thread. I was already really excited about this trip, but the possibility of meeting other PP's really ups the excitement to a whole new level.

We've already ordered our tickets and look forward to joining up on the 21st. We are flexible as to the exact where and when. Isn't there some kind of VIP for AP holders for the parade or is that for the fireworks? If so, there might be enough of us with APs that would could just extend the area out a bit for the PP's who vacationing with regular tickets.

Is there interest to start another thread for a meet for Party for the Senses on the 18th? We're going to be at this one too. It's our first night there.

I wasn't aware there was an AP viewing area for either the fireworks or the parade - is there any way we can find out more about this, as this might work - we're certainly AP holders.

We're planning on being at Party for the Senses on that night as well - provided the ticket price doesn't go up too much more for that one.

I did a little digging on the AP Holder VIP fireworks viewing and it looks like it was something special that they did at P&PP this past February. I haven't been able to find anything about this being offered again during MNSSHP but I'll continue to investigate.

We, kmurburg (my DSis) and I, are flexible with the time and place for the meet. I just found this post and almost missed it because we've been off the boards for a few days with DNiece's wedding (kmurburg's DD). We are not AP holders, but whatever you come up with, we can't wait to meet with fellow PP's at the party!

We are flexible on the parade time too. The second parade sounds like a winner though. Let us know the place and we will be there too!!

[chezp]

I'm putting this back to the top, so it can easily be found!

[kmurburg]

We'd love to do this meet! I would vote for the second parade because I like the less crowded waiting. If there is no preferred area for AP holders, maybe we could meet in Frontierland or Liberty Square. I'm getting so excited for this trip!

[chezp]

Well, let's go for the second parade then - that sounds good to me. Anyone remember from previous years or have any idea what time it will be? Then we can work out a time to meet and also where to meet.

[Minnie Lor]

I'm in! I just convinced DH that MNSSHP would be I booked it before he had time to blink or check the price. I'm glad that I was able to use my AP on both tickets even though we have only one AP.

I'm so excited. I loved the MVMCP and am looking forward to this one as well. I've been listening to the Boo to You Parade and HalloWishes music.

We're not very original in our costuming but DH not a "dress up" kind of guy. So he wants to go as a pirate. Actually, he wants to go as Mr Cotton. I'm going as a female pirate. I know, so original ~ oh well. I'm still excited!

I vote for the second parade as well. I may try to see the first as well from over on Main Street.

Usually a few sites post a pdf of the party map/times guide after the first night of the party. I'll keep an eye out and post a link when one is up.

As for where to meet? My favorite parade watching spot is in Frontierland in front of the DVC booth (I think) There's a raised wood area that some can stand on with a tiny bit of room in front on the ground. Somewhere near there is my vote.

How many people do we have attending the party on the 21st?

Sounds like a good meeting spot to me.

As for definites, let's start a list - so confirm here if you'll be joining us that night. So far we have:

chezp + 1
minnielor + 1
A Pair and A Spare + 1

which makes a grand total of six... and I'm sure there must be more people out there joining us? If you plan on doing so, then let us know.

You can count me and my DH, Jack, in. I missed the parade at my first MNSSHP two years ago, so I am thrilled to get to see it this time. Meeting PP's is an added bonus too!
