MNSSHP - cost? Is it now worth it?

Hello, we are 2 adults and 2 children, I've been pricing up MNSSHP and it works out about Ł250 for us with the poor exchange rate 😢

We did the party in 2014 but dollar was around 1.50 and we didn't have to pay for youngest as she wasn't 3.

I know the party is good but I just feel like it's a lot of money for a couple of hours and sweets we won't get to eat 😂

Does anyone else feel the same? Is there anything else a bit cheaper?

Thanks 😊

We felt the same last year. We went to the party in 2011 had a brilliant time and then last year the first party was on a couple of days before we came home and we didn't bother getting tickets as we couldn't justify spending so much for a parade and fireworks and sweets plus rides we'd already done during regular park hours (I know there's more to it but that's all we did the first time we went). Would love to go again one day but not when we've already spent Ł1800 on park tickets.

That's exactly how we feel, I might just dress the kids up and go to celebration trick or treating x

When we were there last in 2014, our grandson loved Seaworld at the weekend, when there was lot's extra on for kids, including free sweets - all at no extra cost. Don't know if you are going there, or if they still do the same.
We have been many times in Oct, and done MNSSHP. Lots of the shops also give free sweets on 31st Oct (if you are there then) and lot of locals go to the malls etc with their kids dressed up.
We always were impressed with Celebration also at that time of year.
