Hard Ticket Events at Magic Kingdom

Disney generally has three "hard ticket" (read "Extra Expense") events every year; their Pirates and Princess Party, the Halloween Party and the Christmas Party. Included in the price is admission to the park after (usually) 4pm, so it would be a good day to lie around the resort in the morning, and rest up for the party that night, and not have to use a MYW day.
Haven't been to one of their Pirates and Princess parties, but I have to their other two. Generally there is a special fireworks show based on Wishes, but specific to the party; and a special parade. The Parade is run twice, and all the attractions generally empty out during those times. I've been to events where most rides are walk-ons, and others where lines have been abnormally long. Your mileage may vary.
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (commonly referred to as MNSSHP for obvious reasons) is Disney's Celebration of the most pagan of holidays, Halloween.The park is already dressed up for the season, but out comes balloons, giant (inflated) characters, and much of the lighting is changed. The Fireworks Show is named HalloWishes and the parade is the Mickey's Boo To You Halloween Parade.
Disney gives you a bag, and sets up Trick or Treat stations all over Magic Kingdom, where you can collect all sorts of candy goodies. The best stuff is usually given out at the end of attractions...
Characters are dressed up in costume, (yes, cast members in costumes in costume), and extra photo areas are set up around the park. More and more of the guests are coming in costumes, from the store bought to the imaginative.

The Boo To You parade has one of those underlying melodies that bounce around in your head for a while, so be forewarned... My favorite group has to be the grave diggers.
