We used our Disney Vacation Account to purchase tickets for our family to attend Mickey's Halloween Party last year. We bought the tickets online. We just used the option to use a Disney Gift Card and entered the full 16-digit DVA account number in that field. Our order was confirmed in an email that included a link to a document that could be downloaded and printed or that could be displayed on a smart phone to be scanned at the park entrance. We also showed that same document to the attendant at the Toy Story parking lot for free parking. It was much easier than trying to enter several separate gift cards online or over the phone.

Thank you so much for the info I will try it.

Oh Jafar and Dr.Facilier are on my list! Yay.

Do they all autograph?

Is there a MHP specific autograph book?

We will be doing the 29th.
We land at LAX (from NZ) at 11:45am and we are flying out to Orlando the next morning at 9:45am.
We have 3 girls who will be 6,4 and 19 months at the time.
Not sure what we will go as, DH has basically put the kibosh on a family costume (well the adults dressing up anyway).
We are surprising the kids with the trip, DH doesnt want to tell them until we pick them up from school what is going on-I think that sounds fun but I fear that DD6 is a little anxious and may be stressed by this (and this may also result in DH not getting the reaction he is hoping for and leaving him feeling disappointed). I am thinking of making her a little video of a few people like her teacher saying stuff like "don't worry your mom has your homework" and her best friend saying "have fun you can come over for a play when you get home" not sure if I am over thinking things.
Anyway the point of that story is that I can't ask them what they want to be as they dont really do Halloween here. We do a party every year so I could bring it up like it is for the party but we probably wont do one this year since we will be away (so if we did it it would have o be the weekend before) but still can't ask if they would want to wear the same thing to the WDW as the DLR party....
Ah what terrible problems I have

Wow, Paint the Night AND Disneyland Forever Fireworks on weeknights! Now I am very curious to see if they will extend hours as well.

So pleased! Means we can focus on fantasmic on the Sunday and these on a later thurs x

Is there a chance Erin means that the Disneyland Forever fireworks will be presented on weekend nights that aren't also party nights or does she really mean every night between September 11-November 1?

Does anyone think they'll show Fantasmic during the week on non-party nights?

I've been wondering the same. I really hate that they don't release hours at least a few months out because I really want to plan my vacation...But I need to work our plans around seeing Fantasmic as well as everything else.

She clarified in a later comment that Paint the Night and Forever will run EVERY day (week nights included), except for party nights which will have PTN and Screams.

You can open up a checking with Chase and get there Disney Visa. You can still order early. We did this last year.

There's the rub, already have a Chase checking account, just not the Disney Visa . So I've got no choice but to wait at this point. I'm sure it will be fine...

I am soooo excited now! Thanks for clarifying!

I created one last year, but need to do some edits as it came out a little pixelated (the dpi changed and I didn't realize it). I will post it once I get it finished, if you would be interested in using it. You can then either print out and bind it yourself, or put it into one of the photo book sites... Let me know if you'd like it.

This picture isn't the best, but hopefully it will give you an idea of the villains meet and greet. They were located in front of Main Street station the past two years. You line up to meet 3 in a row, like the princesses. They would switch off in groups of 3, but you can see who is meeting as they aren't indoors. FYI - The princesses meet in the PFF Theater, 3 at a time, but you can also see who is there since they aren't inside the royal hall.

Also adding- if you get to see the character switch off, it's quite a treat. It resembles a turn of the century funeral procession, with pallbearers carrying lit candelabras, a horse-drawn carriage...pretty stinking awesome.

We'll there that same week. Not sure which party yet though. Stupid things like feeding the children and sleep keep getting in the way of planning our final(ish) itinerary. I really wish costume stores would open! I'm thinking I need to try some on to get a feel for how comfortable and hot they'll be. I can't imagine not being a princess though, even if other things would be cooler.

We're splurging and doing that night and the 27th! DD said she wants to skip the frilly dress this year and be more comfortable. I already snuck and bought her one of the spendy glow in the dark HM tees, so that will be for one party. Then I am looking for NBC shirts for us for the other party it's tricky with an 11 year old, she still wants to dress up for trick or treat, but is practical enough to know a princess dress isn't awesome for rides lol

We're going to the Oct 5th party. Seems our week will be AWESOME: Sunday we get F!, Monday the MHP, PTN, and Screams, Tuesday PTN and anniversary fireworks, Wednesday WOC, and Thursday an early night because we're leaving early Friday morning.

Disney Visa just put out an email offering card member ticket prices of $63 for select nights of the Halloween Party. I'm new to the Disney Visa, is this type of offer something they do every year?

Yes, it's the same discount as for AP holders.

I hope Monday, October 12, 2015 Dosen't sell out before September 3rd. From what I remeber from last year, Fridays ans Halloween sold out before the weekday parties sold out.

What are the lines like for Character meets?
