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

[may12th]

I'm joining the party!
Wasn't planning to take my son to MNSSHP till he was a bit older but decided I couldn't wait!
He's 3.5.
We're just doing a long weekend trip and will attend the Oct 23rd party.
I got him a Pirates League appt for that afternoon.
And got myself a Wendy costume.
It will be first party for both of us!

Will probably fastpass Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan.

I'm anxious to hear announcements on characters and snacks and reports from those going to earlier parties!

Welcome! And... where did you find your Wendy costume? We have 7 in our group and we are all Peter Pan characters. My daughter (9) will be Wendy and I can't find her a costume that is not handmade and expensive!

Is this normal or ... D.D. (Disney Desperation)?

Saw that yesterday. Not a current AP holder, didn't renew, only had for 2 years. So not sure of what is normal, but guessing this isn't.

since tween DD doesnt want either of us in costumes ("so embarassing").

I normally find this response amusing and do the opposite but I can't imagine what costume i could wear and be comfortable in almost 100 degrees

Maybe you guys can Disneybound ^_^

Is the first day of MNSSHP on Sept. 2nd a popular date? I would like to go but don't want to go if it's packed.

Well if it's any consolation it's not listed as sold out and considering it's coming up soon it might not be as busy - provided guest who do not have party tickets are removed from the park. You should have a great time.

The first party usually does sell out, but as there are a limited number of tickets sold each night, it won't be any more crowded than any other sell out. And even a sold out party is less crowded than a busy day at MK.

I'm all set and ready to go third year in a row nothing and I mean nothing puts you in the mood for a holiday like a Disney party.

I'm still awaiting character info.

I also can finally cheat on my diet my goal was to cheat while at Disney - abs are overrated!

That was done during their second run, a lot of people were complaining they didn't have a chance to purchase the items when they were released in-store, thanks to the 25 limit.

I'm glad you got the phone case it's really beautiful, did they also have the shirts available via the app?

Oh wow. I knew they had to have a 2nd run for the shirts, but I didn't know that about the magicbands. Sadly I had a different phone at the time, so I didn't get the phone case. They did have the HP shirts on the app as well. Thankfully they came back in stock at the Emporium on our last party day, so we were able to get them while there.

any one get fastpasses yet for their party? Trying to gauge how many are available for that early evening time when we can get into the park. Particularly looking for the mine train

I did mine at the 60 day mark for our trip (8 days before the party) and didn't have a problem.

Opinions about the MNSSHP dessert party?
We are going to two party nights. We also have 2 separate days 9-4 scheduled for MK. Don't get me wrong, I like desserts just fine but am not super psyched about that part of it (don't need a lot of trick or treating either) but I was thinking the reserved parade spot would be worth it as that is our priority for one night and the other night would be the Hocus Pocus show. Just thought it may be overkill as we have a Wishes dessert party booked the night b4 our first party with the Hallowishes dessert party.

We thought it was fine, but not something we'd do again. The desserts were mediocre, and I felt like our dessert party time could've been better spent doing party meet n greets or riding short line rides. The best part was the convenience of being able to show up at the last minute and get a curbside view of the parade with plenty of room around us and unlimited bottles of water.

I am going to be in Orlando end of September start of October. Never been at this time of the year. We are going to MNSSHP on the 7th of October. I can't wait. The info in this thread is brilliant! Thank you.

I chose FP+ for our first party at 60 days out and everything was available. I even changed them around for a few days with no problems. We decided to add a second party at 46 days out and there were no Mine Train FP available. I didn't keep checking but something might have opened up. We had them for the first party and if we want to ride again we'll jump in line close to midnight.

If you buy a party ticket for a certain night and find you need to switch to a different night during your stay, can you?

 

[bryana]

Yep, I saw that it was still on Disney's site but it just didn't make sense - so had to ask!

What... am I allowed to post this question here or do I have to go somewhere else?! Not asking really. P.S. OP, this isn't about you - you know that right?

I'm not sure why you are so uppity about someone saying this isn't the right thread to ask questions about things unrelated to the Party; it is true. This is a thread about the party, not about halloween timed trips in general. The best way to get the correct audience who might be able to answer your questions would be to make your own thread or search for previously made ones about the same topic.

Officially (per Disney website), party tickets tickets are nonrefundable. However, guests have reported that they have been able to change tickets to another party night, if it's not a sold out party. As of today, there are not any reported sold out parties.
