"Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

[mickey1968]

The lines for hitchhiking ghosts are not one of the long ones partly I think because you have to actually look for it. Sometimes they are in Liberty Square area and other years they have been down by the train station in Frontierland. The hearse line is easy to find. Cauldron moves around each year too. I haven't managed to catch that one yet.

Hitchhiking ghosts have been there for several years now, expect them to be back. We had the poison aople in 2014...was it there last year?

We did the poison apple last year. I didn't think we would ever find it, but if you're in front of the castle at the hub, the photographer was facing Main St.. We've had our photo taken with the hitching ghost at Columbia Harbor House and in Frontierland at the Splash Mtn. exit. We also had a magic shot with the Haunted Mansion dancers from the dining scene on Main St. I believe. Not sure if it was really a magic shot or just a bonus that came with memory maker purchase.

Have the photo pass/ memory maker special photos always been Hitchhiking Ghosts and the poison apple cauldron? As in...are they likely to be the same this year? I know it's all guessing games

I hope the poison apple is available this year. According to the site below the hitch hiking ghosts were also done separately, this is new info to me so anything is possible.

Need opinions - DH and I are going on an adult-only trip to WDW over Halloween weekend. Originally we had not planned on doing MNSSHP, but are now thinking we may give it a try. Our options are Oct. 30 or 31. If the tickets are limited in numbers, will there still be an appreciable difference in crowds for those 2 nights? We would primarily be going for the ambiance, parade and fireworks - no real plans to see characters and would ride some rides if the lines aren't long.

Thanks!

I've only been to MNSSHP once, and while I currently have no plans to go again, I hope they don't prevent older teens and adults from wearing costumes. I dressed up as Snow White, and it's a silly thing, but it made me happy each time a CM called me "Snow" or "Princess". (I had on a cheap costume store dress-- nothing children could misconstrue as the 'real' Snow White.) I never had the princess-makeover-at-Disney-World experience as a child, so I truly enjoyed the opportunity to gently indulge in it for a day. I was hesitant when I left our room at Pop in my costume, but once we got to MK, I was so happy to be dressed up. My husband and I had so much fun running around collecting candy, me with my Nikes peeking beneath the hem of my Princess skirt. I felt young and light in that moment, and it wouldn't have been the same if I were in plain clothes. I hope trick-or-treating around the Magic Kingdom in costume continues to be open to people of all ages.

I know this was posted a while ago but I thought it was a great read and wanted to make it available to others. °O°

I keep reading that the bags they give you for candy are small, but l was wondering what kind of material? Plastic, paper, fabric? Sorry if this has been asked already

The Trick-or-Treat bags measure roughly 10” H x 8” W x 4” D, it would certainly hold a nice size amount of treats but not so ideal for personal items as well. They are made of medium weight plastic. Here's one from 2013 as a reference.



The bags we take and can carry personal items as well measures 13” H x 12 1/2” W x 8” D

Oh, the size isn't too bad! Thanks!

I'll be right there with you sister. And way above a whisper. Maybe we should dress as CMs.

I love this idea!

Warning to anyone attempting this on the first party night. I will be there and will bring a CM over to everyone of you that crosses my path.

I have already spoken to the executive office staff and they said they will be handling things differently this year after last year problems on the first night party - fingers crossed this isn't Disney b.s. placation.

As someone who was there for the first party last year, and will be going to the first party this year, I hope that things will be handled differently. That being said, I highly doubt it

Spent the day messing around with my Ursula Apron trying to make it work for me but it's just not. So it's put away right now.
I am now going to go as Minnie Mouse - I found my black with big white polka dot 1950's looking dress in the closet and put it on. I love it. I'm going to add Minnie Mouse Ears and maybe put on some black makeup on my nose and be very happy with it. Oh and a red bead necklace which I already have made.
Then I'll meet Mickey in his costume, Minnie in hers and maybe Donald and Daisy too for fun.

And if I do break down and go a 2nd time which I'm considering, I'll do my Rapunzel Disneybound complete with stuffed Pascal. LOL

I hope this hasn't been asked yet, I tried hard to go through all 153 pages to make sure!

Do you have to use a park admission ticket ON TOP OF the special event to get in that evening? My husband and I have tickets for Oct 13th. We will be at Disney for 4 days, and we have a 3 day park hopper. Do we need to make sure we use one of our park hopper tickets on that day? I didn't know if we could just do Disney Springs that day, and use our special even ticket at 7pm, or if we should go ahead and do another park during the day time if they require regular admission on top of the special event ticket…

From what I've been told you can use a MNSSHP ticket to get in at 4 (not 7) the day of without using any regular park tickets beforehand.

We just got home today from a lovely and relaxing week at the family cottage. I was sad to leave today and kind of down on the ride home ,as it's pretty far away and we may not be able to get back this year (no winter access at all). But then I popped onto the Dis for the first time in over a week and starting reading this thread. My blues are cured and I am so excited for our first MNSSHP on Oct 30th!!! It will be time to book fastpasses soon !

No need to waste a day. You can enter the park at 4 pm with the event ticket and ride all. Party starts at 7pm. Enjoy. We don't have hoppers and visit another park the same day.

Post # 1 - all pertinent party/ticket info. No, party 7-midnight. Enter @ 4pm with MNSSHP ticket.

I hope those who have paid for this event ban together and inform CM's and management when you see people without wristbands whether the first party or the last. You have a voice use it - don't just sit on the sidelines and say nothing. It would be very disappointing to read how many had bad experiences only to find out you did nothing to prevent it.
We need not be rude to guests nor CM's, the only objective here is to be able to enjoy the party and the amenities WE paid for.
