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

[Stefecatzz]

I tried to search for this with not much luck. My b/f purchased tickets for both of us a couple days ago & he said he was given a message to go to Guest Service at the park. I have never been to a party before so am not sure what to expect with entry; I assumed it automatically linked the tickets to your MB on MDE which I do see mine. But why would it tell him to go to Guest Services? Is it because he bought the tickets two weeks prior to our party?

Also, I thought I heard about people who show up at 4pm are taken backstage somewhere for their party bands? We have FPs before the party so we will be there between 3-4ish but are AP holders as well.

TIA!

Do you get to walk around and see these in person? Or is it all behind the counter? I like to see the shirts and hold it up to me to check the sizing etc.

Yes you can see all of the shirts - they are out and you don't have to wait on a special line for the shirts. The pins are behind the counter and there is a special line for the pins only. They give out the paper with the pins on one side and the shirts on the other. They will show you all the pins once you get to the counter - they really didn't rush anyone. But at 7pm the line for the pins was about 45 minutes on the 1st night of MNSSHP. We went back at 10:30pm and barely had a wait for the pins.

Here is the second side of the merchandise sheet that the CMs gave you while you waited on line. I posted the first side the other day. I hope this helps.

Awesome!!! Thanks!! We want that ornament! This is only at Big Top Souvenirs correct? And we're able to purchase prior to 7 with a wrist band??

Yes this was at the Big Top Souvenirs. We got there at 7pm and the line was so long. They were selling before 7pm with a wrist band.

Thanks for posting!! I want the ornament, I hope they still have them when we go on 10/20.

You are welcome and I hope they have them too.

I tried to run a search, but didn't see anything in the results that answered this question.

In the past (including back when they were enforcing no adult costumes- before they got lax and even removed that statement from the website- and then reverted and did an even stricter costume rule this year), we have always been at a park, gone and changed into costumes and then used our regular tickets to re-enter or hop to MK usually between 3 and 4 for MNSSHP and then got our wristbands inside the park (or used the regular tickets even right at 4 or a few minutes after to avoid the MNSSHP lines). We have never had an issue and have had others around us doing the same thing. With the new costume guidelines, and increased security in general, have they still allowed this or are they making everyone go through the MNSSHP line?

Very interested in this! Planning on entering in costume through the regular line, potentially before 4:00 pm.

I have never had a problem going in the regular entrance at 3pm in costume. I schedule my ADR's at 3:15 - 4pm and use my regular park ticket to get in. But I also bring my plastic MNSSHP card with me just in case there's something wrong with my magic band

I got mine using the email option. And yes, different parts of the message are conflicting, some saying tomshowmthe bar code at the gate but another part linking to will-call instructions. Make sure you have the confirmation code, or better yet, a print out of the bar code, but don't sweat it if you don't. It can't hurt to go to guest services first.

 

[FoxC63]

Agree. But go early so you don't use your party time to get things resolved

I have the greatest sympathy for last night's party goers. I was at DHS and it wasn't just raining...it was the type of rain that doesn't care if you have an umbrella or a poncho. Everyone was soaked and it continued for 2+ hours, never seen rain that hard just keep going and going. The shoes were the worst part, in some areas of the street the water was up to your ankles, so your shoes and socks were just instantly soaked. The lightning and thunder were so bad and loud that I saw younger kids crying and terrified.

Rain in Disney and making the best of it was one thing, this was something completely on a different level.

This is what we had during part of our stay at Tokyo Disney Resort, I'm glad I invested in The North Face Resolve Rain Jacket & Pants.

I do will call for parties with short notice tickets all the time. Check your MDE, it should show the ticket in it. If it's there your good to go with just your magicband. If the ticket is not showing up, he got a confirmation number with the order and you can link the tickets in mde (there is an option to link tickets). If he did print your tickets, then you can also print out the paper and skip guest guest relations (I've never needed the paper once the tickets appeared in mde either showing up right away or doing the link tickets option).

Entrance is really easy, first there will be at least double security so it will go quick and they even bring out extra tables and metal detectors and use the gate opening closer to the buses in addition to the normal bag check.. Everyone will go through the metal detector. For efficiency the right side of the turnstyles are opened for party guests only (left side for normal guests entering before 7pm). After you scan your band/ticket/paper printout then you'll have another line of castmembers putting on wrist bands. Then you'll pass the person handing out maps (get it, it'll show where party merch and trick or treating, special food/treats you can buy and schedule of shows and parades on it). Then they will direct everyone into the bypass where you'll get some photo opportunities, your trick or treat bag and the rich house candy to start you off..

Now for people leaving, they rope off main street and funnel them out the opposite side of the train station so it works really smooth to get in and back near tomorrowland pretty quick while everyone else is leaving down main street..

FYI: There are 2 holiday themed popcorn buckets and 1 holiday themed cup at the party (not sure if party specific but I saw them removing them at the end of the night so right now it's party specific).

The popcorn buckets are vampire mickey and Zero in his dog house (his nose lights up, it's really hard to find where the on switch is located but it has one at the back of his nose). The cup is a skeleton face over an apple. They don't have many out so make sure you ask if you go somewhere selling a party treat (there is 4, they are listed on the maps) for the cup and any popcorn stand.



EDITED TO ADD ZERO. This is just an image I found online and I think it's matching this years bucket. I'll get a picture of mine and replace it once my daughter is awake as it's in her room.



Also if your popcorn bucket collector I have seen the cinderella coaches at WDW again so keep your eyes opened. They also seemed to restock the star wars ones at HS but I'm not seeing r2d2 ;(

Don't know about the shirts, but the poison apple stein was $10 (included the drink), and the Mickey popcorn bucket was $12 (filled with popcorn). That is before taxes.

Thank you both so much!
What kind of drink is included?

 

[Masonsears3]

Btw, I've heard of non passholder buying passholder merchandise from time to time. Does anyone know how strict they are about this usually? I love the look of the passholder shirt, but I am sadly not one...yet.

It wasn't a special drink. Whatever they sold (soda, etc).

Depends on the CM but I find during parties and special merch there tends to be better CMs that are more efficient plus someone above them so they are more likely to check. You can always play dumb and try and see if they notice.
