🔮 Planning Tips from Magic Wishes Vacations
Book early — dates tend to sell out quickly. As of now, September 30 is reportedly the only party date still available.
Make a plan — decide which entertainment or character sightings you don’t want to miss and prioritize them early in the night
Arrive early (4 PM) — use this extra time to ride popular attractions before the crowds shift to party-favorite spots
Dress to impress — guests are encouraged to wear costumes (kids and adults), so bring your best Disney-inspired look
Use treat maps — maps distributed at the party will guide you to candy stations, snack stops, and character spots
Keep an eye on the weather — Florida evenings can be unpredictable, so pack for a light rain or cool breeze
Let Magic Wishes Vacations help you make MNSSHP 2025 unforgettable. Whether you’re a returning fan or a first-time partygoer, we’re here to craft a hauntingly magical experience. Ready to reserve your spot? Let’s make those wishes come true.
