Went last year and it had started earlier than the time stated. Some stores were already out of candy and some hadn’t started handing out yet. It was busy! The ones handing out candy were excellent and it’s such a nice thing they put on for the little ones

Go early if you can because it’s only until treats run out
However, overhearing a group of adults laughing as they said they allowed their kids to just keep going around and around to the stores was kinda disappointing! Do the loop once and let others have a turn. Some of the staff were on the ball though and when they noticed, wouldn’t hand out to the same kid twice!
