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

[anneboleyn]

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.

She wasn't being "uppity." People always veer off topic, no matter what the thread is about. I don't think there is any reason to get bent out of shape about it. If you would read through this thread in particular, you will see that there are friendly conversations about all sorts of things. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Since it was in response to MY reply, I'll jump in and say I did find it rather uppity, lol, but whatever. I don't really care. Said poster asked the same question twice and got no response because this wasn't the right place to ask. At least I replied, and yes, I did suggest that this wasn't the right place to be posting about Epcot, because it's true. The lack of response to the question is evidence of that.

You might have a bit of a hard time on this site then, because I have yet to see a thread where everyone stayed on topic.

Like right now? LOL

If you look to the left you'll see that I've been here quite a while. I know how things work. I know threads go off topic and it doesn't bother me one bit. It doesn't bother me that the PP posted about Epcot, obviously, since I was the only one to reply to him/her. I also know that you'll get more/better answers to your questions if you post them in the appropriate place.

Post away!

SO, what does everyone think about the Studios with hat vs no hat? Personally I am happy the hat is gone. I am a little miffed that for our dates they are running Fantasmic and fireworks at the same time, making us choose one or the other.

How's that? Did I do okay? I'm a quick learner.

I actually didn't mind the hat at HS. I was more upset when they took down the water tower And I plan on letting my daughter pick whether she wants to see Fantasmic or SW fireworks

See? Going off topic can be fun

Several on this thread are going to Club Villain. Official October calendar has been released, but every month except October has been updated. As previously posted only 1 day changed in October last year, but it's rumored the Star Wars Fireworks will be extended. The September extended dated does not allow viewing of both F! & SW. Would like to see SWGF after CV. Wishing this info would be released soon, hopefully in the next week.
And ready to know about the Halloween Treats that will be available this year.

Post #1 has been updated with the 2016 Exclusive MNSSHP Merchandise & locations. New locations added this year, nothing mentioned about Frontierland location on DPB. DPB Unboxed the Merchandise yesterday.

I loved seeing the merch. I think my card has gotten a little hot at just the preview. Lol. Thank you for keeping this updated, now I've just got my fingers crossed that the pumpkin waffle sundae will be at Sleepy Hollow in time for my September parties!

How do people manage the meet and greets with small children?
My son is 3.5 and not good with lines and I'm the only adult.
I know he'd love to meet Jack and Sally or the 7 Dwarves but no way could we do a 2 hour line...

Thank you for this great thread Monique

It is awesome-everything we need to know kept updated on page 1.

My game plan is now set and I feel as ready as I can be for my first MNSSHP - the first party of this season.

I will report back. It's just me and DD(12) on trip so unlikely I will be able to post until I return from vacay

I would get him in line for Jack and Sally right around 4:30 and give him a snack/iPhone to pass the time for about a half hour until they come out. I'd say the Dwarves would not be feasible with a shorter line. Also, I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this experience, but I found the 7D more of a photo op than a meet and greet as they only posed with no interaction, while Sandy Claws was absolutely fantastic and one of our best M&G yet.

We have Pirates League at 4:30 and then will have fastpasses till 6:30...

I may follow his lead and see how interested he is in meeting those characters.

Maybe we should do some of the easier ones early like Pooh and Donald and hope the line for Jack gets shorter late at night... ?

Do they post wait times for the special meet and greets?

I agree Jack looks awesome. I've seen videos. But this won't be our last MNSSHP I'm sure so we may have another chance.

 

[abnihon]

Also for most of the m&g can you get close enough to see them and snap a pic without doing the m&g? That might satisfy my son. Lol.

 

[Wackdawg]

Will we be able to buy any of the new MNSSHP merchandise online or only at parties. We are going October 14th and wonder what would be left by then if we can't shop disney parks online.

 

[TwoMisfits]

To the poll question listed above, there is still not a sold out date (as of today, 8/13/16), unless the Disney purchase site is wrong, so anyone worried on that point can probably keep waiting until a few days before their desired party to ensure good weather...

 

[Cluelyss]

Yes, you can usually see them from outside the queues, assuming they don't change the locations. But wait times are not posted anywhere. In my experience, however, lines for Jack and the dwarfs stay long all night long. Your best bet is to meet them early if they are a priority. We usually do QS in line to help pass the time.

When DD was younger we only did the "easy" meet and greets, the ones with relatively short lines and/or the ones we could get FP for. Now that she's older (13) she has set a 20 minute limit, which I am so happy about. She is not willing to wait longer than 20 minutes for anyone lol, so that means I don't have to wait either. This year, for the first time, she's doing most of the meet and greets on her own while I do something else. I got her FP for Cinderella, and my FP for Rapunzel. I'll give her both bands. While I see Philharmagic she can meet the princesses.

Do you think he'd love to meet Jack and Sally or the 7 Dwarfs enough to be willing to wait for them? Maybe not. He might be just as happy meeting the characters at Pete's Silly Sideshow later in the evening with relatively short waits. My DD always loved the characters, but at 3, to be honest, she also loved the birds, and all the lights in the park after it got dark, and the music everywhere. Basically, she loved everything. I wouldn't have even attempted to keep her occupied in a line for an hour for anything, because she'd have been happier doing four other things in that same period of time. That's just my opinion though, based on our personal experience.

Well, I feel old. I went on Amazon to look for fun costumes and was shocked that everything was so....dare I say it...slutty.

My options as a blonde are limited without a wig, I'm seeing.

Does everyone wear Disney themed costumes or do people mix them up? I found a really fun (and more prudish ha ha ha) costume of Daphne from Scooby Doo but am not sure if it would "fit in".

I just buy (or make) the costume I want and never wear a wig even when my hair doesn't fit the costume. There were all kinds when I went last year not just Disney. I even saw some Minions getting teased by a CM about being in the wrong park. LOL

So excited that we're attending the MNSSHP on October 23! There are 7 of us in our party. Several aren't into wearing costumes, but might be open to themed T-shirts. 2 girls ages 10 and 13 are in the group. Suggestions on costumes? (Thought of doing T-shirts with the 7 dwarfs names on them )
