Creator's Key Takeaways

I am here with Hannah and Chloe and we are here at the very first event.

We ended up waiting 3 hours and 35 minutes on a 2hour and 10-minute posted wait time with not a single cast member or manager coming over to say anything to us the entire time which I think is completely unacceptable and ridiculous.

For a sold-out party, it was surprisingly easy to get a spot for the fireworks.

I would not recommend waiting 3 and 1/2 hours for that character.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a UV umbrella, portable fan, liquid IVs, and plenty of water to stay hydrated.
✓Wait and do the midnight castle show to get the most out of the party.
✓Second parade is usually less busy than the first parade.
✓Ask cast members about the closest trick-or-treat stop.
✓Don't wait hours for characters; come back around during a parade.
