Okay, some of these might be controversial. 👀🎃
But Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is only a few hours long, and I don’t want to spend those hours doing things I could do another time — or waiting in lines that will be MUCH shorter later.
A few things I skip:
🎃 Long character lines at the beginning of the party
🎢 Rides with waits over 30 minutes
🍔 Regular quick-service meals when there are party-exclusive treats to try
🍬 Trick-or-treating right when the party starts
🛍️ Fighting the crowds at the Emporium for party merch
The trick-or-treat trails tend to get much easier later in the night, and Star Traders is one of my favorite places to check for party merchandise without dealing with the Emporium crowds.
When you only have one party night, a little strategy can make a BIG difference!
