Official 2011 MNSSHP Party Planning Thread ..BOO to You and You..Happy Halloween!

[StitchSpawn]

Hi, I am sorry if this has been covered already but I searched and couldn't find the answer. What do the tickets look like? I am just wondering if I should just do the Eticket or if it is worth the extra $5 to have them mailed to me. TIA!

The tickets look like regular park tickets, ie blue card with mickey or friends on them. That's what they were last time I checked. I think someone has a pic of them somewhere on this thread. Anyways, I personally don't think it's worth having them mailed. I am going to pick mine up when I get there, which also means they won't get lost somewhere at my house between now and then. They used to have special halloween tickets, but not anymore. It's saves Disney money to not print special tickets once a year, so now there is only one type of ticket I think.

Found these at A.C. Moore scrapbooking section, if you are a fan of the dwarves...didn't see them last time I was there.

I just got my tickets this week. We're going to Sept. 30 party. Now I just have to figure out what we're dressing up as.

Someone posted a pic of the map from last year and there was something that said "use the 40% off code for photopass pics on the back of your ticket". I opted to print my tix and didn't see any discount codes for photopics. Anyone know if this will be offered again and if I can get it even though its not on my tix??

Its a seperate Photopass card, not an entrance ticket, so you'll want to get a new photopass just for MNSSHP, you have to buy them that night if you want to get 40% off, or I believe online. Meaning, you can't buy them the next day at the park for 40% off. But anywho, you just need a new photopass card, it's a halloween one. So you are fine.

What????
If I pre-buy a Photopass, I can't use it during MNSSHP? I have to buy an ADDITIONAL Photopass for pictures during MNSSHP????

Are you talking about the CD... I'm not sure on that. You don't buy the cards though, if you already bought the CD, why would you want to buy prints?? Is that what you mean. Because the Photopass is free, you just buy the pics you want off the card, unless you bought the CD for $150 or whatever. In which case, you wouldn't want to buy prints, since you'd own the rights to the pics. Does that help?

You can add the MNSSHP photos to your regular account and cd. It is just a special card for the party that allows you to get a discount, and the card # for the party card gives you the access to the Halloween borders. Those borders are only available to people attending the parties. That's why you need to use a separate card.

Ya that basically. You won't want to buy the pics at the park 40% off if you decide to pre-purchase a cd, you will still the pics with your cd package.

No, nothing additional.

The 40% off is for prints, which you don't really need if you are getting the CD.

The Halloween party photopass card has a number like all the other photopass cards. Just enter it into your pp acct and your party pics will be there.

This will be our first MNSSHP, although we have been to WDW many times.

1.) I'm not doing the photopass CD, but would like to get the ghost pictures of all us. So, I'll get a photopass card and maybe order a few prints from it (we won't be doing meet and greets). How much are individual prints?

2.) We're wearing Halloween tees. Is it ok if my son's shirt has a skull on it? It's not bloody or gorey. It's a skull with an outline of a coffin. I found it a thrift store and thought he might be able to wear it for the party, but then I started having second thoughts. He's a tween, KWIM?

3.) Are the popcorn buckets refillable throughout the night? I don't ever recall getting popcorn at WDW. We don't want to waste time eating a meal during the party and I thought I could keep them fueled with popcorn and candy.

Thanks for your input! I can't wait for the party!!

I just bought our tickets to our first MNSSHP this week! We'll be there on October 13 (boo to no discounts that night, but maybe the PP is right and it might be less crowded?)

I also just ordered Disney Halloween shirts for DBF and myself off ETSY, they're super cute. Mine has Minnie dressed as a ghost and his is Goofy dressed up like Mickey

For those of you that have done the Villains show/M&G, how many of them do you have time to meet after each show? I know you can't get autographs, but will they pose for pictures with you?

I'm sure I'll have more questions in the next few weeks, but this thread has already been soooooo helpful! Thanks all

I know you can wear the skull shirt. Remember Pirates of the Carribean merchandise has skulls on it and Disney even puts skulls on some jewelry:

So, your shirt is fine.
Sorry, I only know the answer to Q:2. But I'm sure someone can answer the others...

1) Last I knew they were around $15, but there has traditionally been a 40% discount on prints from the party.

2) Thev even sell light up skulls from the carts at night.

3) Don't know.

No you can add your MNSSHP pics onto CD. The 40% off is good on prints you buy that night or from photopass website. Your MNSSHP photopass number is also your coupon code for online. I will say though last years MVMCP didn't have photopasses so who knows what this year will bring for MNSSHP.

Ours are just regular tickets. I was a little disappointed because when we purchased tickets for the last party we went to (2005), the tickets were Halloween themed. Not anymore.

 

[lindap1]

This is what the "tickets" look like

Well, Poo, it didn't show. Anyways, they look like credit cards, nothing special on them. On the back they have the date of the party and who it's for...IE....3 - 9 year old or 10 and up!
