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

[Disneylover99]

Honestly, both of those dates are not reliable, so I wouldn't count on either. However, it is possible that the 8th will be a party date instead of the 9th because of the NOJ tickets including park access. It is also possible that the park access for NOJ could be on the 8th, with the first party being on the 11th. Hopefully they will officially release info soon.

I know you're right. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Celebrating Palm Sunday & missed a lot this morning.

Will update 1st post.

Per KennyThePirate---
You heard it here first
October Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party dates will be:
2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31

Note: Dates I'm certain of for September were added to that Crowd Calendar last month. 2 early dates with 7pm closing are uncertain.


Per Chip & Co.---

• September 2, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 29, 30.
• October 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31

I know the September dates aren't official, but I'm relieved to see only 1 party night during our whole trip!!! We aren't planning on going to the party. I have always wanted to go though. Since my family does not want to go, I might just buy myself a ticket (if the dates are official) and go on 9/8. It would be awesome to take time for myself and experience mnsshp for the first time solo!

I think we'll be there the same time! Our trip is 9/5 - 9/12. We're considering changing to November though, if free dining works out for then. The September trip is a bb from last September.

Although we won't know for sure until the dates are released, it's not unheard of for Disney to have a party early in September. I went on 9/1/14 to MNSSHP so it has been done.

We ended up not going to this last year, we'll have to go this year

We just spent the past hour re-arranging our tentative schedule based on what Kenny posted. Now, I am kind of hoping there is no party on the 1st, because otherwise we won't really have time for any non-party days on our trip, which will be a bummer for several persons in our group.

I will ask a stupid question: Would it be worth going to parties on two different nights? Would you? My wife is thinking that we should (even if the unofficial dates that are out now are not correct, I would assume during our stay two nights would be doable).

I've been considering the same thing, only about the MVMCP! I was thinking we would go on one night to really take in the atmosphere and festivities and go on another night to enjoy the rides with little to no waits. It's probably more money than we really want to spend, so I'm guessing we won't do it (and right now we aren't even booked for a trip during that season, so this is purely speculative!), but I've certainly considered it.

Definitely not a stupid question. Yes. This is our plan, 2 parties.

THIS! Went to 1 MVMCP in 2014, enjoyed party atmosphere & activities, party treats & character M&G. No rides except from 4-7pm. Would have loved to attend another party for rides & a few party activities, but not possible due to arrival date, only party to attend.

 

[Cynister]

If you can swing it, definitely do 2. It makes for a much more enjoyable time. One night you can focus on meeting characters & the other focus on rides, that way you won't feel bad that you couldn't do all that you wanted to in 1 night. Waiting in line for characters Eats up a lot of the night. We definitely didn't regret doing 2 for Christmas.

 

[RachaelA]

We would do two if we weren't also doing a Christmas party on our trip too!

 

[BusyP76]

We went to MNSSHP in 2007 and MVMCP in 2010. It rained on us at MNSSHP (and my kids were 2 and 6 at the time) so I can't say we had a great time and I swore never again. But I caved when we went back and we had a great time at the Chistmas party. So I'm thinking obviously my opinion of the first experience was biased and I am leaning toward doing the party this September. Any ideas when those tickets will go on sale? I feel like they should be available any day now....

 

[FeralCatRogue]

i think it was may or June when they sent on sale last time.

 

[skuttle]

For those of you saying you'd do two parties, which would you pick: 2 MNSSHP or 1 MNSSHP and 1 full day at MK (non-party day)?

We booked a quick, long weekend trip the first week of October just to do MNSSHP since we've never been. We're staying at the Contemporary so sticking to MK only. Our original plan was Thursday MNSSHP, Friday hang out at resort, Saturday full day at MK.

My kids will be 13, 5.5 and 4 at the time of the trip. We go to WDW regularly.

Last year it was April 8, but in previous years, it's been around May 1.

Depends. How late can your 2 younger ones last?

They can last pretty long. They've been going to WDW since before they were 1 year old, and they are used to late nights at the ball park with their older brother's baseball tournaments. Since this is such a short trip, they won't be overly tired. We would still bring our double stroller so they would have somewhere to rest if needed.

I don't know that there would be any characters we'd have to wait to see. I'm mostly interested in some candy stops (of course), the parade, the show, fireworks, and if there is a dance party (they LOVED the dance parties during our last trip). I'm fully prepared to only do this and no rides during the actual party. We're going for the Halloween stuff, not the rides.

Our full MK day would be the Saturday before columbus day.
