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

[garthbarth1]

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 !

I think someone posted on an earlier thread there was individiually packaged peeps and they were green. Not sure of the flavor though?

That's a stretch. You and I know very well people get set up for the party long before it actually begins.

Candy has been reported at Main Street upon entering at 4pm
Deserts are reported being sold at 5pm
Characters are reported seeing guests at 5pm

Edit - Let's add the Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom card too - all of which takes place before 7pm

Where/when do we pick up the Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom card?

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

3. I always used to recommend the 2nd parade, I don't do that anymore. For the past several years I've had to wait just as long for a front row spot in Frontierland for the second parade as I would for the first. The second parade now starts later than it used to, by the time the second parade is over you have time for maybe one more thing before the party ends. I've always found that last party hour to be the emptiest, a lot of people will leave after Hallowishes.

I've also been to 2 parties where the second parade is rained out, but the first one happened.

5. Just have a rough plan. If you don't have any sort of plan you could find yourself overwhelmed and end up missing stuff. By a rough plan I mean...if anyone in your group is into characters, have everyone pick their top meet and be sure to line up early if it applies. Know if you want to see the first or second parade, where you want to watch Hallowishes, which Hocus Pocus show you want to see. You'll get a lot more accomplished with a plan.

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.

You will be able to figure it out. Either ask the CMs or ask the people in the back of the line.

Always appreciate your posts, but 1-4 are in Post 1. Plus any other advise you have.

Post number 1 suggests watching the second parade, I have different experience and advice. Sometimes it is helpful to have different experiences/suggestions.

 

[FeralCatRogue]

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.

They will only put it on your wrist and only the right wrist. I tried to get the one year I was wearing gloves to put it on my left and they refused.

No worries, not going to go back & forth. That's why I added, plus any other advice & thanked you. Referring more so to 1, 2 & 5. #4 always subject to change. For instance, Friday's 2nd parade would have been better if you wanted to see Headless Horseman.

Our family of four will attend the party on Sunday 9/18. I'm going as Bob Iger (trying to get a laugh out of the cast members....maybe), I assume the powers that be will not have a problem with these name tags.

Is this kind of thing generally frowned upon at the parties or is it common? I wouldn't think one could hold spots in line without the crowd brandishing pitchforks and such, but we've never been to MNSSHP so am curious.

Bawhahahaha this is awesome! I will be at the 9/18 party (my first ever!) and I hope I bump into you guys! I'll be solo, and dressed as Judy Hopps

In all fairness, we haven't tried this before at MNSSHP, but last year before Jack and Sally came out, one or two people left the line while someone else held their space, then came back. I know it happened more than once, but it didn't really bother me nor anyone else that had already lined up. Then again, I am not usually bothered by this practice when it comes to character lines. Ride lines is a totally different issue though.....

Honestly, my DH is not interested in the candy corn ice cream, and so sister and I were throwing ideas of leaving him in line while we go get some (provided the characters are not out yet).

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.

Adding - some "healthy" treat option included in the bag. Goodness Knows (Cherry, nuts, dark chocolate - think kind bar )

 

[asbyrneva]

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

Actually I was able to show my hard ticket as we came in before the 4:00 on AP and that allowed me to get in line for the pins if you didnt have the wristband because you were already in the park

 

[asbyrneva]

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.

You can go in at 4 on the event ticket - by six the lines were long for the pins already

 

[asbyrneva]

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

Thats about when we got there. Story book also has event shirts.

 

[asbyrneva]

What time did people start lining up for Jack?

Not sure if anybody responded to this but we went by and Jack was already meeting about 5:30 I think.

That's a good point. I should have said you had to show proof that you were attending the party.
