MHP for Wednesday October 7th now sold out

Dang, that's our party. I was hoping a midweek early October date would be less prone to sell out, but I guess not. Oh well, in the end, most of them sell out anyway.

Last year they had pre parties in ToonTown and the carnival area near Big Thinder Ranch.
They had trick or treating, meet and greet and games (at BTR). The trick or treat trails gave us enough candy to last a long time (no healthy treats though). You must have a party band on to get into the pre party.

Thanks rwhistler92 and what time does that roughly start?

I think it was 1 hour before the party started.

I'm going to the Oct 16th party. We are just going to wait and get in to the park at 4:00pm. The only BBB appointment I could get for my Grand Daughters is 4:10pm. I'm guessing we will be 5 or 10 minutes late. Will that be a problem? Should I call and tell them we are on our way or is 10 min enough time to get through the turnstiles and up Main St?

It's the first day of Fall!!It's 2 more days before the first MHP of the year!!!I have noticed it has been getting cooler at night now. My cat Lillie is sleeping by my head now, and she only dose than when it's cooler at night. I know for a fact that by the middle of October is is much cooler at night.

The 5th of October just sold out. I'll be lucky if the 22nd dosen't sell out

So WDW is offering a one day Memory maker for the parties for $39. I havent had a response from Disneys Photopass service (via email, a question on the WDW announcement on Disneyparks blog or the announcement on Disneys Phptppass Facebook page) about it being available for MHP.
It seems like more use at DLR with a local AP base attending the party, I would have thought a large amount of the WDW guests would have had it for their whole trip anyway.

Looks like I waited one day too many and now we are shut out of the two nights we could go. Do they still sell tickets the day of as they have done in previous years? We are staying on site.

Hi Sherry! Wanted to stop by and say hello.... HELLO!

I think this will be the first party we will be missing on our 5 year run. Not to be a Debbie Downer; I am just really so sad about all that has been taken away from MHP that I just have been left unmotivated to purchase tickets, but will have to make our choice quickly as most nights are sold out now. Who knew I would be so impacted by the changes.LOL

I am so greatful that your thread is here so I am able to read updates and trip updates

Did you try calling, just in case. I've read that sometimes there are still a few tickets available after the online site sells out.

 

[boiseflyfisher]

Thank you, LJH! Just got off the phone and they still had some! We are all set for October 7!

Hi guys! Just wanting to know if there s any official place that sells tickets that are sold out?!
We arrive from Australia on 29th and it's looking like after an 18hour flight we will have to go to the party and pull an all nighter.. The 30th and 31stbare gone

I'm so glad you could get the tickets!

 

[mummabear]

We will also be getting off the plane (from NZ) dropping off our bags and heading to the party on the 29th

I noticed that DL released free tickets to bloggers for 'my' MHP on Monday 10/5. From all reports the allotment went quickly. Appears as though this is an annual event @ DL for bloggers.

I'd like to think (hoping) that perhaps the 'gate' on 10/5 thus far is low & that's why they selected it for the promotion, but I should know better than to try to 2nd guess Disney's wisdom lol.

Believe the party dates surrounding it are sold out.

There isn't really an official/legitimate site for sold out tickets. Your best bet would be to call the phone line ASAP to see if anything is still available for parties during your trip dates. (Even though it is long distance for you and there is a significant time change, it could be worth it for you.) If you will be staying on site, the hotels have had a limited number of day of tickets for their guests in the past. You will need to ask about this and be at the front desk first thing that morning. You might be able to book a Mystical Spirits dinner package at BB. Someone reported being allowed to add tickets to a sold out party to that package. Beware of sites selling sold out tickets. Disney states that the tickets are not for resale, not refundable, and non-transferrable. Often the resold tickets are part of a scam -- people report every year about getting scammed with MHP tickets from unofficial sites.

I have called unfortunately the 30th and 31st are the most popular days and I didn't even think to book straight away.
What is the Mystical package? Is that only on Halloween nights?

 

[theluckyrabbit]

The Mystical Spirits dinner package is a special event dinner at Blue Bayou that is only offered on party nights. It is expensive, but might be worth it if you really want to attend the party. I have heard that almost all the nights are already sold out, so you should check into it now to see if any spots are still open.
If that doesn't work and you'll be staying on site, then contact your hotel to see whether tickets will be available the morning of each party.

By the way, there is no party on 10/30 as far as I know. There is a party on 10/29 that still has tickets available. Would this work for you?

I think I will have to go with the 29th... My initial problem was that's the day we fly in and it's an 18hr flight and we get in in the morning and will need to pull an all nighter.. 12am in LA is around 1pm here so it's a complete time flip

Mystical dinner is sold out by the looks of it.. No times at all for 29th or 31st

I have a costume question. One costume I am considering for MHP is The Punisher. I would not have any fake guns or anything, since there would probably be an issue with that. It would basically be black clothes, and a black tactical vest with the Punisher skull sprayed on the chest. Something like this pic, but without the weapons of course. Do you guys think that would violate any of the costume rules? I don't think so, but thought I'd get some opinions to avoid a potential problem.

 

[theluckyrabbit]

Without the guns, I don't think it violates any of the costume rules. So if it's the costume you really want, it should be OK. But, in our experience, the costume vibe at these parties tends to be very family friendly. The most popular costumes are the ones that are creative and rated G. For example, in past years we've seen a really good group from "Back to the Future" (complete with camcorder), a couple who went as the Storybook Canal Boats and IASW (killer outfits -- so dapper and original!), the Sanderson sisters (excellent costumes, right down to the vacuum cleaner!), Madame Leota (complete with crystal ball), lots of group costumes from Peter Pan and Mary Poppins, etc. There were thumbs up and high fives all around for those costumes. The gory or more violently themed costumes don't get much love from what we've seen.
