Oh sorry! 2, me and my 11 year old. We're DVC and go at least once a year so anything we don't see, we'd probably catch another time. His big thing is getting to do FOP again and the new Mission Space upgrades. Yes he's one of the 5 people who like it. Other than that, we'll probably knock out Space and Big Thunder before or during the party. He really loves everything thrills. We went on ToT probably about 6 times in June. I think he really does like DHS a lot even if there's not a lot there.

I'm pretty sure Big thunder is closed during the party. It's the 1 ride my 10 year didn't go on last year because it was down for refurb so she's all about going on it this year.

BTMRR will be open during the party.

Hey everyone! My DH and I will be there from 10/17 - 10/28, staying at OKW! We'll be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary!

Just curious if there are any AP holders who might be in Epcot on the same days as me, who might be willing to help me out in obtaining the white F & W Figment bag??? The blue one is OK but Figment just doesn't stand out as much as he does on the white one, and for some reason my DH is completely opposed to me spending over $600 on an AP just so I can buy a $300 purse I'll be at Epcot on Wednesday 10/18, Sunday 10/22, and Wednesday 10/25.

Yeah that was corrected, along with the 7 Dwarves being missing from the list as well. It's a total shame Splash will be closed, we had fun on that one during the party. 0 wait!

So I got an email a while back about my flight be changed. I didn't look very closely as I was busy with other things. Well I logged on and they changed it so I had a 5 hour layover in houston on my way home. So I called and they were able to change me to an hour and a half layover in Chicago. I also leave 25 minutes later in the morning. So I'm much happier.

I tried to get the fall discount on my reservation, but they didn't have any offferings at MS movies. Probably because it's booked full up.

I'm starting to get really excited and thinking about my plans for FP's. 79 days till Disney!

These past few days have been so busy! I keep trying to carve out time to plan out my FP+, but it seems to always get pushed. Hoping I can figure it all out this Saturday! 85 days will be here before I know it

Sadly I will miss you by a few days, or I would help you out. I have an option to get a purse while I am there, my DH made a bet with me, and he lost, so I get to purchase any purse I want. Don't think he will make the same mistake again.

Hi everyone! I will be there from October 19-October 24 going to all the parks. This will be my first time going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! I'm beyond excited, I absolutely love Halloween. So I know that being at Magic Kingdom for that event is going to be incredible!

It's really fun! Last year was the first time I had been to WDW since I was 14 AND my first Halloween party. The atmosphere is really fun, especially over by the Haunted Mansion!

Sweet!!!! perfect costume easiest ever!! I cannot wait to see pictures of you two and hear how everyone reacts!

 

[Farro]

A big welcome to @HausofDisney!!!

Happy to have your here and remember, our haus is your haus!

 

[Felicis]

So happy. Today was my FP day, and I got everything I wanted. I have had great luck with booking things actually, as I got all my ADRs (including a BOG dinner and a CRT dinner) 180 days out. Helps that we are doing 7 park days in a 9 day stretch though, so I was able to easily get FOP for day 8.

Now to sit down with everything and start ruling up touring plans. I love this!!!

SWDP and Halloween party to book. Wish they would hurry up with the SWDP already. MNSSHP can wait till a bit later.

We will definitely take and post pictures!

Geez louise, hope everyone here eventually gets any party/tickets/fast pass issues worked out! It's getting crazy!

Luckily this isn't our first party and we have hoppers, so none of this really affects us. We are just showing up to ride some rides, get some candy and watch the parade!

Here are some pictures from our last party to get us in the mood!

Hey gang!

Posting this from another thread - this applies to you if you are using your party ticket only to make fast passes at Magic Kingdom on the party day. If you have a regular theme park admission to cover this day, does not apply to you.
The system is now emailing people who don't have enough regular theme park admission tickets to account for fast passes made and cancelling the lady day of fast pass.
So - if you made 6 days worth of fast passes, one of those days was using your party ticket, but only have 5 actual days of theme park admission (regular tickets)- the system is cancelling your last day of fast passes. Not sure why it's last day, but that's what it is.

This is sporadic, some think it's real, some think it's a glitch, so you can decide if you feel lucky!!! I just wanted to get this information to people who may not know this is happening.

Good luck all!

Because the PP received the email which is very exacting and succinct (an anomaly for Disney), it isn't a glitch.

Disney has slowly been adjusting Party Tickets within the FP system.

From not allowing them to be under the onsite umbrella-grouping last year and then delineating after 4:00p for booked FPs this year, they appear to have finally programmed in how to "sweep out" Party Ticket entitlements as being valid for FP booking.

My CM friend is based with the event group as a performer, scheduler, and coordinator. There definitely is a distinction between regular park activities and Special Events. I tend to think of the Parties as Special Events that happen to take place in the theme park.

Warning:

For those with Party Tickets and who plan to keep their FPs for their Party Day, when you use them in MK the system will flag your MDE Profile as using a FP not linked to a valid Ticket used for park entry.

It appears that 1 "flagging" may not have any repercussions; it's just an accounting of FP abuse.

So, be careful in how you decide which day to Cancel/delete your pre-booked FPs.

Here is the email a poster received:

I have a bounce back free dining package, and purchased MNSSHP tickets for 9/12. I received the dreaded FP+ email this morning:

Hello, Michelle.

We see that you currently have insufficient tickets on your My Disney Experienceaccount for your selected FastPass+ experiences. If an additional valid Theme Park ticket is not associated to your account, your FastPass+ selections for 09/15/2017 are subject to cancellation on 08/02/2017.

To keep your FastPass+ selections, by 08/02/2017, you can either:

• Purchase another ticket and link it to your My Disney Experience account.
• Link a ticket you already have to your My Disney Experience account

 

[Roxyfire]

Not sure why it's last day, but that's what it is.

Just FYI it's the last day because the system does not know your intent. Based on your example, it sees 5 consecutive days of FP and removing the last day is the most "logical" thing to do. That is why if you have hard to get FastPasses on your final day such as Flight of Passage or Frozen, and you are using the party ticket to cover a MK day admission (4pm and later) then you should drop those party day fast pass reservations.
