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

[RachaelA]

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.

If you aren't super into characters at the party, I'd probably do 1 party and 1 full MK day. I think you'd have no issues doing parade, fireworks, dance party, candy trail and even some rides all just at the party and then have your full MK to do a ton of rides, afternoon parade, etc and see the new castle show if you won't seen it yet. Plus Saturday night doesn't have a party so you could see Wishes and MSEP if you want.

PLUS you can watch the Halloween fireworks on Friday night from the Contemporary 4th floor viewing area (or from your room if you booked a theme park view).

THanks! That was our original plan, but we haven't been to a party in years. We did MVMCP back when our oldest was 2! We do have a theme park view, and want to catch the fireworks from there. Didn't think about getting to see the Halloween ones from the balcony. I think we'll stick with our original plan.

Any idea on tickets price? If the after hours pary is $149, I am scared what the Halloween Party tickets will be like.

That is more than last year.

 

[FeralCatRogue]

It depends on day i beleive Halloween was 86 or 96 when i went

 

[kittyab]

I think I paid around $74 when we went last year.

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 agree with several other PPs, we did two last year and really enjoyed it. It's a total splurge, but well worth it for us. One night we dressed up and did more trick-or-treating, parade, fireworks, etc. Second night we didn't dress up and focused more on rides, my secret true love of the parties (can cover so much ground in terms of rides with low/no waits!).

 

[Cynister]

I agree with the others. If you don't plan on doing any of the characters, then 1 is probably fine. 2 really comes in handy if you want to see the characters that aren't normally out but will be for the parties.

As far as pricing goes...I say hold on to yer hats and glasses folks cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!

When are the dates going to be come available ? Would like to plan a trip in Oct and do my adrs very soon. Hard to plan if disney won't release party dates or hours of the park.

 

[want2bamommy]

I am happy that we are getting closer but, I really want to know the dates. I am such a planner . Thankfully, my printed off October calendar is written in pencil for now.

Preliminary hours are out, and every night MK closes at 7 should be a party night...

We're going in October, our first trip! Can't wait! Thanks for the all the great info!

 

[chupacabra]

Strange the Magic Kingdom isn't open past 9PM the whole month of October.

Several hours will change. The preliminary hours are always short

Don't worry, for just $150 more per person, you'll be able to stay til midnight!!

Is it just that this is the preliminary calendar that there are no Wishes fireworks, etc.?

Yes. Many of the hours are not actually set, so party dates are really the only useful info on the Oct calendar. Lol
