MNSSHP 2017 - Strategy in the making.

@AngelDisney it's been reported:
Thunder watch. All outdoor rides closed. Doubt that characters will come out if there's thunder watch.

Do we think they'll release anything else? I really wanted one of the HP shirts and the pin.

No replacements for either Hocus Pocus or Boxed Mystery Pin Set. I have no doubt Disney will sell out of the other merchandise especially the ornament. So get this done early via Tag Team.

This is how the Haunted Mansion Lantern shot should look:
View attachment 266435


If your tall squat down until your eyes are level with the "M" in Mansion. Not sure how this would work if you have a family or group it looks perfect for an individual shot.

I have to remember this tip. I think the bestie and I will take individual ones because it's so cute solo. I'd have to see one with two people to decide, but who holds the lantern?

It took a while to get my Judy Hopps ears on. Thank goodness I have my visor to hold them up! We were running late and got to MK around 3:55 pm. Decided to go through event entrance and get the wristband before lining up for Jack and Sally. No wait to go pass the event entrance. Got wristband, took a photopass shot at the bypass and came out to the hub area at 4:05 pm. Took a castle pic and in line for Jack and Sally at 4:12 pm. The line was short at the beginning and started to grow longer as people coming in to join their families. It's better to line up at 4:00 or earlier for the shortest wait.

How many people would you say were in line at 4:12 when you got in line? Hope they come back out soon!

I love the Peter Pan costumes! So much fun! I didn't know people were picking on them. People need to loosen up!

The bypass candy and photo stations were moved in the rain to the Tomorrowland Terrace walkway.

@AngelDisney it's been reported Rides reopened! BUT 70% chance of thunderstorms 8:00-11:00 pm.

I think it would really depend on what time you get this shot taken. If it's late and dark outside I think individual is the way to go.

EDIT: Toss a coin!

They are back

Thanks for the heads up! Oh well, we will have to go the by ears.

Oh I feel so bad for everyone with this weather.

This is the way extent of the line for the ducks at 6:50. I got in line and took the photo at that time. Hopefully the lightening stays away long enough for them to come out for a bit.

ETA: Oops file was too large and didn't add. Let me work on it.

ETA part two: can't figure out how to resize and don't care to try right now. Line is crazy short. Maybe 30 people in line at 7. Minnie is similar and goofy and much shorter.

We're on pins & needles hoping the weather blows away!

Sorry to cut this party short but my husband got the results on his scan at Karmanos Cancer Center and he's doing great. Nothing new has developed and I just want to spend this evening with him and our son.

Have a great night. Keep posting and see you on Monday!

 

[AngelDisney]

There were about 15-20 people in the front at first and it built into about 40-50 as people joining their families.

Jack and Sally came back out at 6:20 and we were done at 6:26. We then did the Memento Miri Photos and now having dinner at Columbia Harbour House. Hope no more rain!

Awesome! Enjoy your time together!

Oh wow! I had planned to go through the bypass, but wondering if I should skip it? BFF will be meeting me in line so I don't need to be first, but 40-50 people out of 15-20 is a lot! Oh well, we'll get there eventually, right?

I saw someone paying for a Mickey Pumpkin bucket at a popcorn cart opposite Big Top Souvenirs at about 9:40. There was none displayed on the counter. I asked whether the buckets were available at all the popcorn carts and the CM said they should be. So, just go to a popcorn cart after 7 and ask for the bucket. They may not be displayed.

We have been in line for 7 Dwarves since 9:45. It's still raining and the fireworks have been delayed till 10:30. I am thinking of leaving early.

 

[Mollymovacca]

You do NOT need to line up at 5 for Lotso! We met him after the fireworks with perhaps a 15 minute wait last year. If you want to meet him earlier in the night, shoot for 6:30.

Thanks so much!! I will shoot for 6:30 then as I want to make sure the little one will be awake! Haha! Thanks again!

@Penguinempress in case you have questions: AngelDisney did the Momento Mori pictures during the party.

Jack and Sally came back out at 6:20 and we were done at 6:26. We then did the Memento Miri Photos and now having dinner at Columbia Harbour House. Hope no more rain!
