“We like to plan our visit just to dress up and do trick or treat,” said Danielle Goldberg of Las Vegas.
She was disguised as the bride from the Haunted Mansion while her husband, Neil, was disguised as the dead groom. Her children, Luke and Zack, also wore costumes.
The event, which is sold separately, was mostly known to local residents, but as the event grew, many outside of the city decided to experience it too – some in special ways.
Tim and Brit Skalland from Sacramento attended the party on Wednesday. It was her third time. They met during their first trip to Mickey’s Halloween party and started dating. On their second visit, they were near the wishing well in the Snow White Grotto area when Tim got down on his knees and proposed. She accepted. This was their third visit, but the first as a couple.
They came in costumes, of course. He was disguised as Bert, the chimney sweep from the movie “Mary Poppins”, and she came as the title character.
“It’s practically perfect in every way,” she said.
The party even attracts large groups. A group of seven were from Barstow in town and dressed up as the characters from the television show “Gilligan’s Island”.
“We’re here for a three-hour tour,” said Jeff Maestas, who was disguised as a skipper.
