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

[smitch425]

here is the text I sent to my friend to explain the situation of the night.
So it's pouring here. I was waking in ankle+ deep water with thunder and lightening everywhere. Got in line and told us we could get tickets for Friday- sure because I love this party. Then we get there and no Friday party so they will give us a 1 day park hopper each good for anytime-however there is no proof of this no email we just show up at guest services 10 years from now and it's there. Mike and I don't buy it so we wait an hour for a refund. Well the credit card I used I didn't bring with me because it expired this month and I didn't want to have it and then have it expire. So they wanted to give me the $160 in a Disney gift card. I said no. I mean we all know I'll spend the money here but it's just principle ...finally got a cash refund

Honestly, I would have taken whatever they were offering as they did not have to offer anything. They can't control the weather. I'm glad you came to a satisfactory resolution, though.

Honestly I was fine with a new party ticket for Friday when they first said that. Then by the time we got up front we were told no Friday and then told 1 day park hoppers good without expiration and then told we could wait for a refund. Every person we talked to we thanked and let them know we appreciated the help and we know they can't control the weather. We didn't go in wanting a refund we really wanted to try for Friday's party. And had the gift card truly been the only way to get a refund I would have taken it but I knew that was not the case. And actually we would have been fine with the park ticket-it was just the fact that we would have no trace of it that left me unsure- what if we moved or I had to change my
Name and then my ID wouldn't have matched what I filled out tonight and I would have had no proof So yeah that's why I pushed for the refund in the end

We got rained out and had 3 kids in tow. Anyone know how we can go about asking for refund or something else? The party cost us a ton of money and I am now kicking myself for not dealing with it the park.

Maybe check with your resort concierge? Otherwise, try emailing guest services

Does anyone know how much the t-shirts (the party shirt and the villain spooktacular), poison apple stein, and popcorn buckets are? Trying to get an idea on how much damage is gunna be done at the party lol.

Here now, pouring rain, thunder, lightening, characters going in due to lightening, no photopass people for magic shots. Not sure if there will be a second parade or fireworks.

We are really sorry to hear this. It is tough to put so much into an event and have it ruined by the weather. Here's hoping for some type of pixie dust.

Thanks. I'm just upset. Spent a lot of time working on costumes and no one would have know the wiser if we had just been in ponchos. I heard a cast member say to another that they need to be checking for wrist bands because they didn't get their check points set up before the rain. I definitely saw people on our bus home without them. It was the only night parade we were going to see with the kids too and it was supposed to be the end of our trip excitement. I know Disney can't control the weather but I am upset that we paid over $300 with the exchange for 2 candy stops and a ride on the people mover

 

[teddygurl28]

well fireworks went off. I'm at BLT so I can hear and see them but not sure
Of the parade

 

[daisyduck73]

Update: fireworks happened and were awesome! It has stopped raining and we are hoping to get the 2nd parade in.

 

[RAPstar]

I don't think you could swing by since it's TS by then.

Sorry I mean swing by Gaston's since I read that they start serving them at 5pm, lol

Like just now or back when they were supposed to be scheduled?

 

[Laura's Dad]

So you can use your party tickets to make fastpasses between 4 and 7? I linked my party ticket to my account, but am unable to make fastpasses. I've been googling all day, and can't seem to get a straight answer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Make them starting at 3:30 and ending at 6:30

First part of the party was miserable! My kids are soaked but we stuck it out. Got to see amazing fireworks and now are waiting for the parade.
All in all I'm a little bummed so much time was wasted trying to manage through the rain but it ended up being fun.
Last two hours were okay.
Husband wanted to try for a refund at 9.
We didn't get to see any characters at all. The costume I worked hard on was totally destroyed by the rain.
I tried to stay positive the first hour but that dwindled quickly.

 

[TheDisneyNurse]

Sorry to hear about the ran, guys

I'll be at the Friday party with my brother. Does anyone have confirmation whether they gave out exchanges for Friday? Just wanna know if it's gonna be a sold out party so I can plan ahead!

I'm glad to hear it cleared up a bit as the night progressed. Florida can have such finicky weather at times

 

[dragonfly57005]

Holy smokes - I pulled up the weather report and boom - tropical storm Julia is the headline.
I see a bunch of rain predicted for our night...makes me want to leave the costumes at home and leave some room in the suitcases...kids will not like me if I do that

Thanks for the infor.
Fingers crossed it won't be like that in a few days.

The parade is running right now. Looks like all was not lost. Lots of people watching on the curb.

 

[sweetyk83]

Parade went on and was awesome! No horseman though.
In the end I'm content with the party. Those fireworks! Wow!
Now back to the resort to dry everything! Lol!

 

[daisyduck73]

Saw the 2nd parade. The party was not a total wash out. The only thing I feel like I missed out on were the magic shots. I wasn't interested in most of the characters so I was ok with a picture of the 7 dwarves when they 1st came out ( I just took a picture from the side- line was longer than I wanted to wait) and Minnie, Daisy (my favorite) and Donald, and Goofy.
