"Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

[monique5]

I'm in Tennessee after I put this online I went out to the mailbox and they were there! Lol I was so excited I forgot to get on here and say that they came. Thank you for reassuring me!

If you get the bracelet for MNSSHP, say at like 4/5, could you leave and come back before the end of the night? I would love to go, but DH and I went last year, and he got way overwhelmed with the crowds (he is a veteran). A 30 minute or so break before fireworks and the parade back in the hotel room would help to ease his anxiety. If we could go I'd like to switch to the Contemporary to make it an easy and quick walk back and forth.

I did. No shame here, well maybe my DH. Um, not! We were in line to meet the Princesses & Princes during MVMCP. A family came up behind us in line, started talking, cause that's what I do. They said this must be for something cool, if line is long. Me -- it is, you can meet the Princesses with their Princes, totally do not see their wristbands, I say -- so this is your 1st MVMCP. Them - MVMCP? What's that? I politely, and quite loud, say --- there's a CM right there that can show you to the front to GS to purchase tickets to attend this special paid for event -- Ha! Not. Sold Out party & last party. CM is walking towards them at this point. So them & others were politely & quietly walked to the exit. I slept very well that night!

You go Alabama Princess!!!

If I were gutsy, I would do the same. I didn't pay extra big bucks for something, just to have someone get it for free. They are robbing Disney, and robbing us who are paying for the exclusivity for the party. I know of people who only go to parties at Disney because they can't afford a full-day park ticket. They are the ones I feel worse for when people crash the parties.

I get you you may feel apprehensive confronting a party crasher, but you said it best - they are robbing us who payed for these events! Say something to a CM, after all it's THEIR job!

I looked back in the thread and really couldn't find anything It really is very odd. Random Friday in September. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the extra 12$ PP to go the Friday 12/23 or just move it to the Sunday 9/25. All while hoping that the price drops
It would be better if the party was on the Friday since Epcot is out of the question that night too (F&W Friday and Saturday I'll pass)
My touring plan is blank for the second half of my trip

What I read was that Disney expect the crowds to be high, hence the higher priced tickets. If it were me, I'd attend the lower price ticket. via kennythepirate

We went around 5 I believe. We did have a plan but with the number of people there it just didn't work. We had been to the Halloween party a couple times before this, including the year before. It was crowded then but still enjoyable and doable. Last year was just ridiculous. I don't think there was anything we could have done differently honestly. I appreciate you trying to help

Just a suggestion, be at the gate no later than 3:15pm and I mean dressed & fed as well. Most people go in to eat, but that's a waste of time. Make sure you get your 3 FP's as well. Collecting your FREE Sorcerers card at the Fire Station and head to your rides, photo's whatever, but get off of Main Street and stay away from the hub.

Well ... what cards did you get?!?!

 

[FoxC63]

Just an fyi, the princes have not met with the princesses the last couple years of parties. And I highly reccomend meeting Jafar!

Love Jafar, he's on my list this time!!!

 

[FoxC63]

Ugh and double ugh!!! DS made mention today that he "might" want to be the Riddler instead of the Joker OMG!!! Really?!?! Only been planning this event for a year...sigh! He's unsettled about wearing "makeup" - it's not girly makeup I tried to explain, but I'm not going to push nor do I want him to feel badly about HIS decision, it certainly saves me time. One less costume to sew but between you & me, I already purchased the fabric, lining, pattern, thread, zipper, buttons - I mean UGH!!! Heck, I should go as Joker considering how much I can't stand Harley Quinn's costume - total waste!

Yes you can leave the park and then return. Please contact Disney Disabilities Service (407) 827-5328 as there are several locations within every park that are meant for this very situation. My son has ADHD/Autism we use the quiet areas and if he's feeling sensory overload we leave the parks. Also please google "MNSSHP" and watch videos of the parade, shows and fireworks as this will help ease the anxiety. Be sure to pack ear plugs which helps keep the noise at a mellower level. And last but not least, please thank your husband for his service for me! Peace!

Oh and the Wilderness Lodge is a nice relaxing boat ride close by MK.

I would pick Buzz. Pooh has a cute queue if you have to wait.

Thank you very much

Thank you for the recommendation, I found the brochure about guest with Cognitive disabilities, and saw the "quiet areas." Unfortunately, we have taken breaks in some of those areas, but they are still too overwhelming when he just needs to be alone. Thank you so much for your reply, and suggestions! We have seen the parade, fireworks, and shows surprisingly he can deal with most of that (fireworks can be a hit or miss depending on the day), its the crowds and the closeness to people he feels is suffocating sometimes, which is obviously hard to judge.

We also love Wilderness Lodge, and stayed there during the Heroes vs Villains 24 hour event. The boat ride is nice and leisurely, when we have time, but waiting when he is anxious is not a good option as he feels trapped; being able to walk to the Contemporary makes it the best resort at least for the Halloween party. Thank you again for the information!!

Do you get the MNSSHP map when you go to the actual party? I figured there would be one with my tickets but that didn't happen.

Yes, you get one when you enter, and after the first party a lot of places post them, so you'll be able to see it before you go.

 

[P-Family]

What a fun!!

 

[monique5]

Yes, available at party. Map not available yet. After/during 1st MNSSHP PP will post map. MNSSHP 2016 map will then be added to 1st Post of this thread.

Working some more on our costumes today. If I could get my husbands done then I could start on mine haha! Also thinking about what 3 FP+ to get since my time opens soon. Haunted mansion is a given as we always ride that early so we don't waste party time riding. Not sure about the others, maybe buzz. Nothing too wild with our costumes on.

Hi there! We will be hopping to MK around 2:00 the day of our party ticket, Oct. 20. This is our first time to WDW so of course our first MNSSHP too! Super excited!
I have two questions I'm hoping someone can help with . . .

Since we will be entering early on a regular ticket, when and where should we get our party bands? Can we get them early or only after 4:00?

I'm assuming we will not be able to enter in costume at 2:00. Is this correct? Could our girls (DD12, DD9) have costumes on that early? I suppose we could keep the costumes really simple and just put them in our park bag . . . but it would be nice to know either way.

TIA!
