“Official” 2018 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party – Strategy and Itinerary Thread

[Haley R]

It was posted in the News & Rumors thread in 2017 and I posted the information on the itinerary thread as well. Should anything impact your trip it will be posted here!

Okay thanks! I guess I’ll just have to keep looking to make sure I don’t miss anything. I’ve just never heard of being required to be at the airport that early.

Hi and to the party!!! You've got some major characters to cover! No magic shots, videos or rides?

Thursday, October 18th / DM and I

Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet
Minnie Mouse
Mickey Mouse
Daisy with Donald
Pirate Goofy
Hallowishes
Boo to You Parade
Trick or Treating

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Yes, you are correct. We will utilize FP from 4-7 PM for whatever rides we can get and plan to spend the rest of the party trying to squeeze in all of the above. Thank you so much for your prompt response.

PS. Any chance of getting a 7 PM FP to see Mickey in his Halloween finest?? Attempting to kill two birds with one stone. LOL.

Your last FP has to end by 6:30, I believe. (At least that was my experience with MVMCP last year.)

Thank you!! I wasn’t sure when the cut off time was, but I just marked it on my calendar on my 60 day mark.

Park closing time is changing to 6 pm before the parties this year. Your last FP would have to be 6 pm.

He will not change costumes until the party officially starts, so FP would still be “day” attire. This is to ensure no day guests can take advantage of party offerings without a ticket.

Good to know! Perhaps he might be our first stop once the party actually starts- grab our wristbands and treat bags and then get in and out of Town Square Theater the minimal wait. Thank you.

@Cluelyss is correct, Halloween Mickey is available at 7pm so you have two options; meet him between 4-6:30 possibly with a FP or meet him in Halloween Attire either way your decision will need to be added to your itinerary. Also are you aware you could make an ADR for Minnie's Seasonal Dine at Hollywood Studios? It's character based where Minnie, Donald & Daisy are dressed in Halloween attire?

I would plan to make my last FP at Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and immediately after the ride hop in line to meet them. They come out at 7pm as does all the characters on your list, which is going to be challenging. You will need to secure this FP for 5-6pm and be there to ride it by 5:30. You have plenty to think about before we tackle your itinerary.

I have added your post to the MAIN page for easier access, please make the changes as discussed and we'll see what we can come with.

What is considered a long haul flight?

It varies on country/airline but mine was a 9 hours flight so I'd call that long haul, to me anything over 4-5 hours.


Edit: I'm don't know if I'll get too much time on the boards this week, I'll be popping in when I can.

Oh we never take flights that long. The longest flight for us to Orlando has been 3 1/2 hours

We've been to Japan and UK both from Detroit, very long flights indeed!

DH and I have been a few times but in 2015 we took our son with us, he was in awe! One week in Yokoahama and one week in Tokyo Disney Resort. Cool rides there Stayed at Mira Costa, laid out some major $$$ for that. Woof!

I may be coming to you for some expert advice then!

So we added a day of park tickets to our package and are planning on going to the party on arrival day still. I know we will be up early, but we both agreed that we will just suck it up because it frees up a whole other day for activities.

I'm sure by the time you go things will be quite different and outdated info is never good.
