Mickey’s Halloween party Review (Disneyland)

This year we (The Incredibles) attendedMickeys Halloween Party in Disneyland, California.

The party runs select nights in October and requires an additional ticket.

I suggest enjoying the rides from 3-6pm because there are so many other things you will want to do!

Once you finish ride your favorites after the parade until closing!

We decided to be the Incredibles.

You will also find the front of Its a Small World decorated for the evening.

You will not find any villains or other darker Halloween things in the parade.

It truly was a G parade.

Mickeys Halloween Fireworks are amazing!

The fireworks were really neat!

I am always amazed at how Disney combines elements to create truly amazing shoes!

Again, this is not about the villains or darker things.

In this regard Disneyland needs some major reworking!!

Immediately after the 8:30 parade everyone moves to the streets in front of the castle and stands there.

This is the designated viewing area.

Some people are trying to get through but they wont make it.

You just stand there body to body until the 9:30 fireworks.

It is a little bit of mad chaos.

But at least it is just 30ish minutes.

However you will need to lift kids up to see above the taller heads.

Still a great show and a dont miss in my book.

They will be labeled on your map and clearly marked/lit.

You will get sturdy bags for collecting your candy when you check in for the party.

You will definitely fill the bags and get more than your fill of treats!

I saw locals who brought their own larger bags, but we felt like we had plenty candy!

The lines (especially the main street one) is LONG at the beginning of the event.

And who wants to pay for tickets to stand in line to get candy!

!Seeing special characters was the highlight of the event for us!

You will not find the traditional music in the mansion.

We were disappointed by that.

But I guess if you liked the movie or were local and wanted a change you might like it.

They go all out decorating!

Space Mountain has also been updated for the fall season to Ghost Galaxy.

Personally I found it obnoxious.

They add some loud noise and some occasional projects which are hard to make out.

Is Mickeys Halloween Party Worth the Money?

So did we like it?

But it was great fun to do once =-)
