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

[monique5]

Sharing in case it helps someone...

We are attending the party on Oct 16th. That's 60 days from tomorrow. As these are our only park tickets, I was all prepared to make FP choices tomorrow morning, even though we check into our hotel 60 days from today.

Imagine my surprise when I got an email this afternoon advising me to make my FP choices! I'm usually right on these things and swore I read somewhere that if you ONLY had party tickets, it was 60 days before the party.

Luckily I was still able to easily get the 3 I wanted. Just can't believe I messed it up!!



I have a 7DMT from 5:45-6:45 on our party night.

So... If I choose modify now, it's actually giving me options starting as late as 6:30. Is this a glitch? It's not offering any past 7, but it gives me choices on many attractions at 6:15, 6:20, 6:30, etc.

Sorry you missed earlier posts regarding FP+ being 60D onsite even with only MNSSHP tickets, but glad you could get what you wanted. SMH Disney, still don't understand why this email comes evening on FP+ day & not the day before as reminder.

@smitch425 posted links from threads about FP+ after 6:30pm on party nights being cancelled last year during the month of July yesterday, look back through posts. A few posted that may be ok this year with FP+ b/t 6:30-7. OP posted this too & a few selected those times, see post from last 2D. So as of now, no glitch.

Of course I see all the posts now. Lol. It's hard to keep up! I was able to shift everything earlier which was my original plan, so my latest is now 5:35-6:35. Hope it doesn't get cancelled!!

Quick question. I'm an AP and I'll be in the park from 12pm-ish on prior to when my party starts. Do I need to exit the park and re-enter in order to get the wrist band? Or can I get it in the afternoon when I arrive?

No, you do not have to exit park. You cannot get wristband until 4pm. There will be locations within park. I'll post them, as mentioned earlier, in Post #1 (in the wristband section) when this year's locations are released.

Past locations: Stitch in Tomorrowland, Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland, MP in Fantasyland

I'm in my FP booking window right now and the way that Disney seems to have dealt with it this year is that FPs with a 6:30pm start time, only have a 30 minute return window as opposed to the regular 60 minutes (so expire at 7pm)
So you could book a 4:30 - 5:30 a 5:30 - 6:30 and a 6:30-7:00
The great unknown this year is if Disney will repeat what they did last year and start cancelling FPs with an end time of later than 6:30pm.
My hope is that the fact that Disney has taken a specific step to close all FP return windows at 7pm means that they won't have the need to cancel anything this year

I'd love to see Disneyland all decked out for Halloween. °O°
Are you planning on wearing costumes?

From what I understand based on the actual policy it does not say you can't. But I will say, you might be searched. If this doesn't bother you than you're good to go. What date are you attending the party? It might serve you well to check back once the parties start to see what's being posted by others.

October 30th. We would definitely not be wearing in at 4, but would wear it closer to party time.

Are you planning on being at the park in the morning? Do you plan on taking a break in the afternoon to return to your resort? You can wear your costumes at 4pm.

Thank you for keeping us updated!
