We've went to a couple and will be going to this one, probably as a family. For us it really hasn't been any kind of insanity. It's a LOT of elementary school children and middle aged women, all kind of split down the middle between dressed or not dressed, and a smattering of teenagers of both genders, most of whom are dressed up. Everyone stands in lines and chokes the parking lots with their cars, and generally crowds up the place, but other than that there hasn't been much "party" about it, in our experience...for a couple of hours before midnight they have some areas set up for kids with like a magician, for example. None of us have ever dressed up at all, though this time Annie and Aaron might.
