Have a great time during MHP and looking forward to read your TR and seeing your pics.

I'm thinking about going to MHP again on the 29th for my birthday. Are there AP discounts for that night, or is it the regular $59? I'm not an AP yet, so I can't access it.

Oh, and if there is a discount, must they be purchased at the box office, or can it be done online?

Thanks!

Edit: Is it one ticket per AP, or can an AP holder buy 3 or 4 using just one AP? Goodness, I might just pay full price to forget about the hassle this might be!

I didn't use an AP but my Disney Visa (for the discounted tickets) and bought 6. I would think it would be the same with the AP. I believe all the Tues. MHP can get the discounted ticket but you do have to purchase in advance.

Just like what it said on the pp, even if you have an AP and want to purchase the MHP tickets online right now, you don't get a discount on the 29th. I purchased my DB MHP on Oct. 31st during the first week of October and it didn't give me a discount online even though I have an AP. I still had to pay the full $59 a ticket on that day.

Yep, and we could only go on a Friday so we had to pay full price too. I don't know why they didn't make it a discount across the board for AP's

Posted this ? in it's own thread but should have asked you Halloween experts.... Are the lines for rides long at the start of the Halloween party because they are still filled with regular guests? Do they stop allowing regular guests into ride lines before the party start time to give them time to clear for the party guests? TIA!

 

[gippaloo]

From my experience, the lines for the rides are super long from the time that they start letting MHP guests into the park until a couple of hours or so after the regular guests have left. For example, when I went on Fri Oct 15th, MHP'ers were allowed in the park @ 4pm, but the regular guests weren't supposed to leave until 7pm. So that left 3 hours in which it was very crowded and riding rides was pretty much impossible without a long wait....

Hope that helped! ^_^

Thanks everyone! I figured there wasn't a discount on the 29th because it was so close to Halloween, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

For us, the lines weren't all that long even during normal hours. Matterhorn was the longest, at about 20 minutes. Ghost Galaxy was posting 25 minutes, then 10 min or however long it took you to walk the queue once the party started. However, it was very rainy, so that might have changed the dynamics.

I'm not sure if they stop letting regular guests in before (probably not) but once it hits the party start time, they're asking for wristbands like crazy for awhile.

yes that is why they made FP! i mean serioulsy in cases like that best you whip out those fast pass's and use THEM!!!!!

but i havn't been lately, cause the engine on my car blew up! but i was there last weekend..and it was not busy to me

 

[skiingfast]

It's because those two days are the busiest since they are Halloween Weekend. They don't need to entice AP holders for those nights.

Also it is suspected that they will increase the number of guests on those nights according to a MC article.

Heading in for Trick or Treating. Decided no costume tonight. So if you see a girl in a black tshirt that says Los Angeles in neon colors and a green bagallini that's me!!

 

[Funball]

THAT could be a costume ikristen!

 

[iKristin]

Yep I'm an LA native for Halloween hahahaha

Here is the picture of the Peter Pan crew meeting the Peter Pan crew. Our Peter was in love with the real Peter.

 

[LKD]

KBelle- You are so lucky! It's been my goal all month to meet them! You all look wonderful!

that is so cool! cute picture!

 

[KBelle5]

^^Thanks! LKD, I've been really lucky to get them when in the park normally. Peter can usually be found at musical chairs, but it's much harder to get Wendy. I tend to run into them randomly during the day. Hook's even harder to get unless its Halloween or you do PI character breakfast.

One group I'm sad we didn't even think about was the stepsisters! I wanted to get them, then totally forgot - probably because I got "kidnapped" by my Hook and Smee.
