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

[Disneymom1126]

Does the headless horseman only ride on Main St or does he do the whole parade route?

Whole parade route - we saw him in Liberty square last year

There is a short add on to the projection show that has some Halloween related stuff, like the skeleton dance, but the show plays every night. It is not exclusive to the parties.

Yes, sorry! It IS updated for the Halloween season, but can be seen on non-party nights as well

 

[beckyd13]

There is so much wasted potential here....can you imagine the bits of the dancing skeletons or Donald's TrickorTreat or Lonesome Ghosts being projected on the castle to music. Really they could just use one of the intro's from the old disney halloween specials and I people would go gaga.

YES! So much potential lost!! But I DO love that tiny bit of dancing skeletons they throw in there... but if they had the actual Silly Symphony playing I would move to Florida right now. lol

Those of you looking for reviews of the dessert party, there's a thread with some (not so great)info here:

http://www.disboards.com/threads/i-...ears-hallowishes-dessert-party.3542778/page-2

Thanks! I saw that last night. Just reviews from 2 people right now, and posters saying it was done differently this year than last year. Also, appears sold more tickets/seats this year for dessert party. I think someone said that in regards to actual MNSSHP tickets too. This may have to do to price increase and no sold out parties and ticket sales down across the board. When I search I still see availability for Club Villain, EMM, SW Dessert Party, etc. No Sold Out Parties for MNSSHP yet either. I'll wait on canceling Dessert Party. With enough complaints things may change, but the reviews were great for parade viewing which is my main concern for night of party and attending 2 parties.

Story, Dessert parties show sold out online and when you call no matter when size of party (when I check, any way, for last week of October). I called and CM said this too, but said she would keep checking, I wanted to add a friend), so after about 10 minutes of good banter, my party size increased. Now how did that happen? LOL! I did post on thread about joy of adding friend. Just some good Friday humor.... Crowds. Money. Sales...

Celebrate the magic was literally the same, but a couple of weeks ago hubby took DD(5) for a special treat to see the fireworks, MSEP and ride her favorite rides - there was no celebrate the magic. So :shrug:

Last night was my first MNSSHP. The hubs and kids went last year (I could not go last year because of work). I was gifted a ticket so I went by myself. If you don't get there at 4 I swear you are doing it wrong lol. I ate dinner before I arrived. I got there at about 4:15. I did the side street trick or treating and got my back. Then I went to the emporium to get my swag. I bought the Villain Spectacular Shirt in gray and black. There were literally 3 people ahead of me. They did check wristbands for people buying the party items. From 4:45-6 I rode splash, pirates, jungle cruise, space mountain and haunted mansion. I sat and relaxed at about 6:30 with a snack. I headed out to storybook circus to start my treating. They started early about 6:55ish. I may have started my route a little backwards as I had to snake around to get in the roped off area. However, I had very little to no lines. From 7-7:30 I got candy from fantasy land, liberty square and frontier land. I stopped to go check out the waiting area for the first parade/villain show. It was very roomy. The very front of the sidewalk for the parade was full and hardly no one over by the show area.

I had the candy corn ice cream, which was okay. It was nice because it was so hot other than that it was rather plain. They DID do an 8 show of the villain spectacular which super threw me lol. It was nice as I was super close. I loved it. Then, I turned to check out the crowds waiting for the first parade. It was a mad house. I left and continued treating at adventureland. Which was dead empty, except for a few people in the jafar line. His line was not bad all night. From there, I decided to get my sorcerers card. I went to the side where crystal palace was and cut through the shops (looking a princess dresses omw for christmas -they did not have alice which was a bummer). I got my card and spot at the end of the boo to you parade. After the parade I waited on Mainstreet (a very abandoned mainstreet) for celebrate and hallowishes. Honestly I think Hallowishes and the Christmas ones are on par with each other. The only difference is the lights which are gorgeous at Christmas.

After Hallowishes, I finished up treating at Tomorrowland - with everyone else at the party. Stitch had the longest, slowest line with the least friendly cm. All the other tomorrowland spots were empty. I did the dance party. I checked out the alice characters. I may have waited for them if I had not been alone. They were a 20/25 min wait for queen of hearts and tweedle dee/dum. I went back to frontier and did splash again and treat spots. Rode haunted mansion and saw the show (no wait). Show was a bit crowded, but bearable. Thought about doing 7DMT, but as this DD(5)'s fav ride we do it all the time. Nothing was more than a 5/10 min wait and really I should have done more rides and then left, but I tried to leave and got caught by the end of the boo to you 2nd parade. I seriously should have just gone on more rides, bc it was a pain.

Really great party night though, but it did seem like lower crowds. I would definitely do it again.

We went to the first party on 9/2 and it was our first party ever! We got in right at 4 after they started letting everyone about 3:45. We rode rides from 4-7 and then saw the Cadaver Dans, hit the candy stops and magic shots and then the parade, fireworks, and hocus pocus show. We also stayed and saw the headless horseman ride before the second parade started. Characters were not a priority for us. I just wanted to soak up the atmosphere and the Halloween entertainment and we succeeded greatly in that! Here are a few photos from our night! We did Disneybounds of Minnie, Mickey, and Mary Poppins.View attachment 193262View attachment 193263View attachment 193264View attachment 193265View attachment 193266View attachment 193267

Awesome pictures! When were you able to get the headless horseman magic shot? Was it on the way out? I was wondering if they would be still doing them late after the party as we'll stay till they kick us out haha! Going to watch the 12am Hocus Pocus show, and would love to get this shot. Thanks for any help!

You guys are precious!! I love it.

Yes, you can schedule FPs ahead of time online. Make sure your choices are in the 3:30-6:30 time frame.

In theory, yes. However, we are not able to schedule FP ahead of time with our party tickets (we have no other FP that day and no other park admission, only the MNSSHP tickets). They show up as active tickets in our MDE account, but when I go to make FP, it says we do not have valid admission. I've called more than once and always get the answer that some are able to make FP with the party tickets and others are not--it seems random.

 

[DAKL101]

I didn't see them (but I was not looking for them either). However, they did have a jack tiny hat that was similar.

 

[Princesspixi]

I know the second parade starts at 11:15. What time should it get to Liberty Sqaure and about how long does it last. Just trying to make a plan. Thanks!

If you're staying on-site, are your tickets linked to people on your resort reservation? If not, are you within 30 days of your party date?

Are you within 30 days? I've heard people with the party tickets say that they were able to book FP once they hit 30 days with MNSSHP tickets.

mmmm 10:45ish. That side was the most crowded. Frontierland seems like a good spot as well.

I too only have party tickets and no other park admission. Are you in your FP booking window? I'm staying onsite so I was able to book when my 60 day window opened. If you're not, are you in your 30 day booking window?

Yes, staying onsite and yes, MNSSHP tickets are linked to those of us on the resort reservation.
