Help!! Looks like different stages of mealy bugs - please confirm!! Should I use rubbing alcohol or neem oil to get rid of them?? Plant is a pumpkin plant, succulent I believe.

Yep! Definite mealies, treat with rubbing alcohol only and try and get all of them. If all else fails, pour rubbing alcohol into a large enough bowl to fully dunk your plant in. Beware, these suckers can also find their way under the soil and make nests there
