Well the party in the Horseshoe place this year is a VILLANS party! Maybe we try our luck in there and see who is "dancing". lol
 

I'm fine with meeting whoever.

I mostly just want to meet Jack Sparrow and take advantage of the shorter lines for rides! :)

And I LOVE the parade and Hallowishes! pixiedust:

Hello! We are getting memory maker! It's all about the pictures now! We need to get pictures!
 
Hello! We are getting memory maker! It's all about the pictures now! We need to get pictures!
Don't forget that now when you have MM, Magic bands and MDE all linked up, you do not have to stop at the ride photo kiosk after the ride. Unlike the old PhotoPass where they scanned your card, now the RFID chip in your magic band automatically posts all ride photos to your online MM account. I would suggest taking a "redneck" photo of the screen after the ride though. That way if a picture does not get posted to your MM account, you have the ride number to tell MM so they can locate the missing picture.

Also, a new feature has been added as of last week when you have MM, MB and MDE all linked up...

Guests with a MagicBand linked to the Memory Maker photo package will begin receiving a souvenir onboard video at the Tower of Terror.

Beginning today (8/12/14), the Tower of Terror attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios is the first at Walt Disney World to offer on-ride videos as part of the new MyMagic+ system. More attractions are expected to follow, with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Haunted Mansion strongly tipped to get the on-board photo and video experience.

After riding, those guests with a MagicBand and a linked Memory Maker photo package should expect to see their videos online at My Disney Experience within 24 hours of riding. The video is captured, edited, and uploaded to the guest's My Disney Experience account automatically - all driven from the MagicBand and RFID readers in the attraction.

The on-ride video is not available to any guests not wearing a MagicBand with a linked Memory Maker account.


The rumor is that they are adding SDMT to this new feature!! :thumbsup2

I saw that and I'm super excited! I LOVE TOT! :cool1: The video (I saw both of the ones Disney released) looks fun!

I had the memory maker in January. (And Oct 2012 but that was before magic bands) It's so much fun! We still had to stop to put the picture on the magic band but it was very fast. I always have the CM at the screens write the photo number down for me. :) :thumbsup2

Thanks for all the tips! I am really looking forward to the ToT video!
 
lol Yes I realize that. :banana: I just don't want to spend the entire party standing in long *** lines to meet characters! pirate:

Is it bad that I am actually interested in the activities that I paid for with the party ticket and could care less about the rides? Except Haunted Mansion that is a must at the Halloween party.

lol Hmmm it might be bad. :joker:

I think the difference between us is you get to go to WDW a lot and I have only been there twice in the last 20 years! So many rides and so little time! lol

So my 20 times in the last 2 years vs your 2 times in the last 20 yrs. Sigh I am going to lose a lot on our ride decision making.
 
And I ordered a bunch of Disney themed Jamberry nailwraps for our 4 day Disney trip and 4 Day Disney cruise! Don't worry Heather I won't make you change your nails everyday!

Haha I'll make you a deal. A character for a ride. :)

One of my day trips to Disneyland was so sad. We only had ONE day. My favourite ride is Splash Mountain as you know. Well I wanted to go on it. Obviously. But the line was an hour and no one would go with me. :( Instead they wanted to go get a picture with Pooh and his friends. Wanna know how long THAT took? 1 and a HALF hours! I'll always remember that trip and the sadness of not getting to go on my favourite ride. lol And I have my stupid picture with Pooh and friends to remind me too!
