MNSSHP 2017 - Strategy in the making.

Wondering why the 7 dwarves meet was so underwhelming. Is it because they can't talk?

Ha! I'm thinking it's because they have to be stationary for the photographer. If they move around all seven might not fit the frame? Still they could be more gracious like waving the new guests in or acting their role like a sneeze or a yawn... something!

Hi! Just so I understand correctly, ten will be using regular park day tickets and three will be using party tickets to gain access to BOG. If this is correct then you should be fine to enter around 3:45 at the Regular gate. Truthfully I would use the actual party ticket and not your MB to scan at the gate.

Yeah that is correct thanks for the response

Im pretty sure I have caved to my extreme desire to attend MNSSHP in Sept. I cant help it, the lure of Hall-o-wishes is too strong!
Its penciled into my plans and costume ideas are being added to pinterest . Anyone else feel like no matter how many times you have been to Disney how easy it is to get lured into add ons. Its so hard to resist. I am always wishing for 1 more day so we can do this or that.

First off... hooray! More the merrier!!! Yes! We always wish we had more time, I never knew they had 10 hidden Pascals at Fantasyland!

I think I've worn my husband down...it went from me just taking one daughter to the party to my daughter, my son, and myself, and now my hubby says he thinks he and my other daughter should just go ahead and come too. He thinks she'll want to go when she sees us getting ready. And he's not interested in meeting any characters, but he will ride the rides. So, yay! I think they'll have fun! I don't think I'll get him to dress up LOL but I'm excited that everybody's going!

This is great news! Do you have ADR's scheduled and will they be able to be added?

We met 7 dwarfs 3 times and every time, there was a huge line for them. So there was minimal interaction, literally just pose and get done type of meet.

Since I have never been to a MNSSHP I was curious if you purchase tickets to weekday night for the party is it less crowded then weekend nights?

If you take the time to read the first few pages of this thread (Post #2 - #7) I'm sure you will find all the information including links and printable pdf's to help you make informed decisions I also encourage everyone to read the remaining pages at their leisure as they contain many links as well.

No ADRs for the party- we'll do quick service when we get hungry.

Here's my failed planner. I have another note pad I can use. Going for more writing, less images this time.


I think I have the pouches done (apart from details) they are drying though so will post a picture tomorrow. I tired to sew it but it looked bad so I went with fabric glue, faux leather off eBay and some cardboard templates (they are stuck on inside but I treated the with something to make it a bit more water resistant. I'm aiming to add a faux silver button on the front and Velcro on the flaps so I could use them if I wanted to. (could fit lip balm and some tissues in them).

I know how it feels to spend a lot of time on something and it not be up to my own expectations.
I like your photo of your planner, I think your being to hard on yourself.

Thanks, I'm still redoing it though

I've just realised I put this in the wrong place, I was supposed to post that in the main Halloween thread.

Your totally fine posting it here too! So no worries! I agree I think you're being too hard on yourself. I love the idea of tissue & lip balm - very clever!

Op wow u r planner & a commando

Love your enthusiasm but can't say I agree with your itinerary's attraction wait times especially so close to Halloween when the parties sell out

Have been doing the parties for well, ever lol. Learned after first year we would get burnt out by end of night if we did parks during the day

Hope it all works out according to the plan but don't stress if u have to skip a step along the way. A lot of the fun for us is soaking up the atmosphere.

Yep! So true, my itinerary is on the heavy side for a sold out party. I was very frustrated my husband and son out voted me on the earlier one as I wanted to meet Jack & Sally. Just recently DS rolled his eyes when he saw Ariel ha! He and my husband would like to spend a couple of hours playing Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom and on our second MK day they want to play A Pirates Adventure When I set my plan in stone I'll label it "Finalized".

Overall this should help newbies form their daily itineraries since this thread is really about them.

Here's my Captain America costume. It's just an off the rack costume but I love it because it's not "sexy" like most girl costumes of male superheroes
