Hello to all of my Disney friends out there, and thanks for your continued support of my little Disney Blog! I am humbled to say that just today we crossed the 18,000 unique visitor count! You are the greatest, and I truly do appreciate each and every one of you, and especially those of you who continue to send in your questions and comments! It is because of folks like you that I continue to write about my fanatical love for all things Disney! Thank you again and now, on with the show!!!!
Tonights post will focus on answering your Disney questions, and these are all around a special, spooky theme – Halloween! After my last Halloween post, I received a lot of questions about Halloween at Disney World, so I gathered those all up and will answer them here for you tonight! So let’s get started!
Question #1 – Sally L. for Kansas wrote me to ask, “Hi Brad. Your Halloween post came at a very great time as we are going to be heading down to Disney World the second week of October and we do plan on attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. My question for you is this – I have 2 younger boys ages 5 and 7. My fear is that after spending a full day in another park, will my boys get tired out early and then the expense for these party tickets will be a huge waste? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Sally your question is a great one. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Tickets are not cheap. Depending on the discount you get, you can end up paying around $50 per ticket no matter what age you are. So given that, you do want to ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy the entire party. So here is my advice for you – since your boys are on the younger side, why not plan on spending the day at your hotel pool, and then maybe hit Downtown Disney for an early dinner, then head back to your room until the party gets started around 6 pm. That way no one will be tuckered out and will very ready for a full night of spooky fun with Mickey and the Gang! The party will last at least until 1:00 am in the morning, so if you get there at 6 you will have around 7 hours of fun in the Magic Kingdom. I hope this tip helps you Sally! Have a ball with Mickey and the gang!
Question #2 is from Eric F. from New York. Eric wrote in to ask, “Hey Brad! My entire family loves your blog and we anxiously await each new post and especially all of the great pictures that you share with us. Speaking of pictures, how dark is the Magic Kingdom during Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween party? I am asking because I find that my pictures with my camera turn out really bad in low light? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Another great question Eric. I can tell you that at times, it gets extremely dark during the Halloween party. Especially right before the parade and the fireworks show. My advice is to put your camera into low lighting mode (if your camera has that option) and to try to hold your camera as still as possible. This is the same advice I give to anyone who is trying to take picture of the fireworks shows as well. To be honest, outside of the parade and the fireworks shows, the park is really well lit and this will not be an issue for you for most of the night. Thanks for writing in Eric!
Question #3 is from Dana P. from Ohio. Dana asks, “Hello Brad, and thanks for the awesome website. I have a question about the intensity of the Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween party. I have heard that a headless horseman rides through the park with very scary music behind him and that would be way too scary for my 6 year old daughter I think. What are your thoughts as to the intensity of the entire party?
Dana you are very correct that the entire party gets kicked off on Main Street as the lights go out and a headless horseman does indeed come riding down Main Street very fast with loud music behind him. But I will also tell you that most of the kids are not scared by this at all. In fact, the horse is so very tall that he rides on that the kids are more in awe by it than anything else. The rest of the party is is almost 100% not scary in any way. Your child will enjoy drinking apple cider, going trick-or-treating throughout the entire park, and getting to meet characters and take pictures with them. Oh and riding all of their favorite rides. So if you truly think the headless horseman will scare your child, simply hear away from Main Street as the party gets started. I hope you have a very spooky time at the party!
The last question for tonight was submitted by Joseph T. from California. Joseph wrote in to say, “Hello Brad! Thanks for your great blog, even though you tend to focus only on Disney World instead of Disneyland. With that in mind, can you tell me the differences between Disneyland at Halloween time and Disney World? “
Well Joseph you got me there. Since I am a Disney World fanatic and live closer to Florida I do focus more on Disney World. I have been to Disneyland back in 2001 and we did love the park of course, but we simply do not get much of a chance to get back there. As far as Halloween differences go, I am envious of Disneyland in that their Haunted Mansion gets a makeover each year for Halloween that includes the characters from the Nightmare before Christmas movie. As well, Disneyland’s Space Mountain has been getting a scary makeover as well with ghosts who pop up along the rollercoaster track as you you and spooky music as well. Most of everything else seems to be the same to me, including how the park is decorated and the types of treats that are available. I will always prefer Disney World to Disneyland only because I am so much closer to Disney World. Thanks for writing in.
Well that’s it for another post. Again, thank you all so much. Your interest and the fact that you keep coming back really are the fuel that keeps me writing here, so thank you again for that. I’ll see ya all back here again real soon! BOOOOO! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
