Are there any characters at Be Our Guest for dinner on a MNSSHP Night?

 

[ammag]

Argh, been trying to catch up on all of the pages but there is so much info lol. Is there a summary anywhere? I just wanna know the following...

1) Which characters are meeting and where?
2) What exclusive merchandise is there?
3) Any tips for seeing the shows/parades? Later or earlier set?
4) Where are the magic shots?
5) Any other advice?

Thank you

Check the very first page, it is where info is collected and updated!

does anyone know if and where they will be selling the poison apple cup? also other than the obvious haunted mansion, is there a ride you suggest is best to ride during the party?

I've only gone onc,e last year on Halloween. So I am not a seasoned expert but that said we only did a few rides during the actual party. We loved riding the people mover late at night and seeing the park, followed by the monsters inc dance party and pirates was extra fun! We rode the mansion twice. This year I am doing almost all rides as I mostly just want to be in the park at night and it's my only day to do so on our trip. So definitely following!

I think if the line isn't long Astro orbiters might be a nice view too?

I'm exceptionally excited for Village Belle and Gaston. I'm hoping to hit them at the beginning of the party and then head over to Storybook Circus for the limited edition pin. Unless people were people able to buy pins before 7PM this week?

We bought our pins just before 5pm at Storybook Circus.

He did talk at the first party. My daughter chatted with him

Well crud (I guess this is good actually) but now I have to reconsider our touring plan. Is it okay to post our personal plan I created from TP for comments?

See Post 1 for all except #3. Post 1 recommends parade 2 based on OP comments. Read through last few pages. See Post 2.

Two things here...

1: At least for the first party it was time linked... our first attempt (shortly after four) got us the Zootopia magic shot. I don't know what time they go live with it, but the photographer did tell us at four that she wasn't sure what we would get at that time.

2: you are in the park when you take that photo, it is inside the gates and right in front of the Mickey flower arrangement, as such you have entered the party. They don't offer it outside the gates.

My thoughts from the (lol, that should say P A R T Y, but I like the group of them together so I'm leaving that as is )
I thought the CMs did an excellent job at clearing the park. We came across a lot of them checking bands and removing those that didn't have them. Much better than last years first party.

Lines for rides and M&Gs seemed longer this year. I know that a couple of rides are down for refub while a couple of characters were removed from this year's parties... so I am willing to blame both of these for the increase in waits.

BUT... I'm not sure if the long lines were due to the limited number of characters or families asking for 20 photos per Meet and Greet.... What is up with families needing individual photos for each of their kids, each parent and then the family as whole? We saw this happen multiple times. I don't get it.

One thing I did like was how autographs were handled at some of the M&Gs... we did Eeyore and Friends... they handed out a laminated item with autographs to those in line. This prevented people asking for them and quickened the lines (well, except for the above)

I thought it would be time linked - though I guess non party guests would have unto 7pm to be inside the park on a regular park ticket?

Probably a dumb question, but will I know which line is for Tweedles/Queen vs the line for Alice/hatter? I want to get in line for the tweedles at about 6, would that be early enough? Figure I can hold a spot with one kid while hubby takes the other 2 to get us all a quick supper and we can eat in line while waiting.

Sorry for the dumb question, but..... We are AP holders and plan to attend the party on Oct. 6th. We won't arrive much before 4 pm because my 4 year old would never last all day/night at a park. I am assuming the lines at the turnstiles will be crazy at this time so I am thinking about strategy. Would it be better to go through the special party line entrance where we can pick up our bands at the same time or would it be better to go through the (possibly) shorter regular line and then find a place in the park where we can pick up our bands later in the evening?

Thanks!

 

[alliecat523]

I would just go through the regular turnstiles and walk over to where they are handing out the bands. There are usually a ton of CM's available with bands. It's really not that bad.

So far in pictures it looks like most of the candy is Mars brands (possible sponsorship this year?), mainly M&Ms and Skittles. I can get both of these in the UK and therefore was looking forward to more unusual offerings. Has anyone been to a party and can confirm if different locations have different candy or if there is any things like Nerds or other sugar rather than chocolate candies? Someone also mentioned apple favour Werthers candies at a previous party?

 

[morrismhs]

Disneylover99 - were they checking if you had a ticket to the party before they sold you the pin? We really want the pin - was planning to get to the park around six.

Yes. They had a special line just for party goers. You couldn't buy the exclusive pins without your wristbands. It was very organized.

All of the trick or treat stations that we went to had pretty much the same candy. All Mars and Wrigley - yes they sponsor it. We did not see any Werthers stations. This is what we got - there is a huge variety.
Snickers -regular, crispers, and other kinds
3 Musketeers
Skittles - regular, orchards and cauldron
Gummy life savers
Star burst - regular and Halloween mix
Twix
M&Ms - regular, crispie, peanut and peanut butter
Milky Ways
Dove chocolate

I think that was all the candy that we got.

One of our daughters friends has a dairy allergy so when she went to each she asked for anything but chocolate - they were all very accommodating.

Random, probably dumb question - but do the wristbands have to be on your wrist? Can I loop it around the strap of my purse possibly? That's what I do with my Magic Band.

 

[NoMoneyThanks2Disney]

I grabbed an orange pumpkin bag for my niece from the dollar tree for out MNSSHP on the 13th.I figure it will be easier to carry and hopefully she will be able to get lots of candy since one of the main things we want to do with her is take her trick or treating.

I was told they do need to be on your wrist. They can't be on a object that can be passed to another person.

How about the Vanilla Peeps this year ? I haven't seen any pictures of Peeps in anyone's stash yet ?
Weird , because I though that Peeps was one of the sponsors ???
We will be at the party on 9/18 , and hoping for those awesome vanilla peeps !
