So what are the must do's and must see's about the MNSSHP and can u fit in most of them if not all of them in one night?

[Laughaholic]

Yes, I think so.

Since the park opens at 4 (for party guests), I'd suggest going on the rides then. That way, when all of the events begin, you've already done the rides you want.

I went at the end of September last year. The lines were super short and we got done almost every ride and everything we wanted to see during the party. However, the closer you get to Halloween, you want to be having fun at the different events, not in the lines!

We skipped the dance parties, so I can't give you any information on those. We did almost every candy stop, and we did a couple loops around the park (we liked walking around the most, checking out other costumes and showing off ours!) and got some more. We didn't want to be too greedy though!

We didn't see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, although I would like to try and do that this year. Towards the end of the party we hit Toontown and saw Minnie (she was behind her house, no line!). We wanted to see Mickey but he had a long line, so we went into the Judge's Tent. Again, no lines...and Cinderella, Ariel and Sleeping Beauty were there with their princes (I've never seen Aurora's prince before in a meet and greet!).

Definitely see the parade. We saw it from Frontierland (the beginning) and got a pretty good spot without having to wait. Hallowishes is at 9:30. We didn't get to see the Villains Mix and Mingle, but I would check it out!

When we were leaving, we left through Fantasyland. We saw Piglet and Tigger in Halloween costumes, which was a really cute picture!

Have a great time! You should have time for rides, but I would just take advantage of the 3 hours you have before the party to do what you want to do.

We've been to it twice, each year was different. Definitely see the parade and make sure you get there early so you get a good shot of the headless horseman before the parade begins, obviously a must see! I love being by the bridge between Liberty Square and the hub, because as he passes he eerily crosses the bridge and the sound of the horses hooves on the wood just makes it! And Hallowishes is one of my favorite Disney fireworks show! Also, a must see. Make sure to look for Mickey at his house in TOontown, he is dressed up! (I just got our picture with him out the other day since it's fall. )
We love MNSSHP and wish ours here at DL was just as awesome...wish we could have gone this year, but we went a whole month earlier so we missed it.
Have a blast and don't forget that yummy candy!

The must-dos for us are the parade, the fireworks, seeing the seven dwarves and seeing which other characters are out in Halloween outfits. We also always make sure to do the Haunted Mansion and get as many Photopass pictures as we can.

You can definitely do everything in one night, especially if you go in at 4 or 5. We usually hit all the trick or treat stops, the dance parties, go on at least half the rides, and definitely WATCH THE PARADE! It is beyond fantastic. My favorite parade anywhere. I can't wait to go again in less than a month!!!

Parade and fireworks are a must!!! So awesome!! We did Sebastian's Dance Party in Fantasyland...DD had such a ball!!!!! Music, characters, dancing...very fun.....don't know if I would have done it without my dd though It's mostly kids! One of the other highlights of the night was posing for pics in front of Cinderella's carriage!!

Get your face painted!! It doesn't take a long time at all!! Go on all the rides you can! Plus, you have to watch the parade and smell the cotton candy smell at the end of it!

i will have to say that Hallowishes the fireworks show is the best! I even bought the soundtrack for it I liked it so much. The parade is one of my all time favorites. I love the Haunted Mansion guys that are gravediggers and the headless horseman that starts out the parade will give you chills. The HM is a must do because the CM's are extra creepy this night and its so much fun....I loved doing the character meets especially in Alice's Maze.....The candy is amazing. If you stay until the end of the night they will give it to you in handfuls! We really got a lot of candy last year!

We love the parade and dance parties best : )

[Wolfy6688]

The Boo To You song is soooooooo catchy. I'm tempted to buy the soundtrack, too!

[ilovejack72]

HM is the best during the party the fog is great also the headless horse man is a not miss I love to watch him ride!!!!

[pita]

Another vote for the parade!! It is awesome!
Another must do is the Haunted Mansion...seems obvious right!

[EddieCVS]

Thanks for the info! So we don't miss anything we are going to MNSSHP twice on our upcoming trip. We figured we'd make the most of our trip with the earlier closing times in October!

[aswaffer]

Thanks for the post! Where do u by the sound track for MNSSHP? Do u know how much it is? Money is tight this year.

[Nicole626Stitch]

I just got mine outside of Haunted Mansion at Madame Liota's cart...it was $24.98. Love it! I'm already in the Halloween spirit because I've been listening to it.
