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

[RCSpur]

I will be there Sept 30th. First time at MNSSHP. The wife, son and hopefully my daughter if the ex allows. It's kinda last minute but needed to scratch my Disney itch. If my daughter cannot go then we probably will not worry about pics with characters. How are the ride wait times?

Has anyone ever done Club Villain as a Gluten Free or Diary free party goer? I'd like to go but I'm worried that with my dietary issues it really won't be worth it

I have been on a keto diet for the last 3 months, which means no gluten, rice, potatoes, sugar, or carbs. I'm down 5 pounds, and need 5 more pounds to go, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it hasn't been easy to lose those 5 pounds! My plan is to try to stay as close as possible to my diet at Disney, so I may have to skip most of the food and beverage offerings at CV. But, since it's not a medical issue, if I eat something not allowed the worse that will happen is that I'll gain a few of those pounds back, which is not the end of the world. I will say that CV sounds worthwhile for the experience alone! Have you contacted special diets (Special.Diets@DisneyWorld.com)? I'm thinking about sending them an email and see what they say. What date are you going? I can report back after Oct 10th.

I'm amazed there is still only one sold out party! And that it took so long to sell out in the first place. I thought for sure once there was one sell-out, there would be more to follow as people who might have been on the fence would suddenly feel the pressure to go ahead and purchase. I'm happy for those of you who have had parties with lower attendance so far!

Take this for what it's worth, but a fellow agent was told by a phone CM that while a few parties are close to selling out, most are so grossly undersold right now that CMs are being offered tickets for a very reduced price. I'm sure part of it is due to overall travel being down this year, but I'm sure the price hike didn't help. Whatever the reason, hoping the "close to selling out" ones aren't my dates!!

I think it's the big jump in price. I'm going Oct 16th this year. Price went up $17 compared to oct16 of last year.

Newbie to MNSSHP... been to Disney many, many times... BUT never to the party, I am so excited

My question is, I am wearing a BB-8 themed dress with accents to go with it... but my family coming with me aren't dress that much, just wearing fun t-shirts and what not...

Can we all still trick or treat if we aren't in full blown costumes?

CMs are always offered a decent discount on party tickets for select dates.

You can absolutely trick or treat if your not in costume. We have done it in the past.

11 days until my first MNSSHP. I am just counting down the days. I think I’m more excited than some kids I know who will be going (no kids for us….just adults) Got a ‘plan’ for the night and hoping that it goes smoothly

That phone rep was likely referring to these CM dates, which happens every year...

Which one sold out?

Halloween. See Post 1 - Sold Out Dates.

It was posted and mentioned several pages back too. It's been on a few blogs/websites as well.

Since the reports from the parties this year have been so good, I went ahead and purchased tickets for Oct 6th.

15 days until we arrive
16 days until MNSSHP
18 days until Club Villain

We will be at that party! So excited!!

 

[skuttle]

Us, too! But our CV is the Saturday before our party instead of after. Both will be a first for us!

 

[beesly]

At this time one week from today, I'll be getting ready to pick my DD up from school to head to the airport for our birthday celebration trip! We'll arrive at POR the evening of 9/30, visit the parks and attend CV on 10/1, and attend our first MNSSHP on 10/2. We can't wait! (Just need to finish the headband for my costume this weekend!)

 

[policycobb]

Just bought my tickets for October 13th!

 

[FoxC63]

Just got my DME yellow tags today! No bands as we purchased our online. 32 more days until we arrive at Wilderness Lodge - home away from home! Woot!

Hey everyone, I'm a bit late in responding, but I was also at the Sunday, Sept 18th party that had rain later in the evening. Here's my take on a few things:

-- We got through bag check/security easily and saw Tink at 4:15 and then walked over to get our SOTMK cards about 4:30. The CM was standing outside of the firehouse handing them out and used a sharpie to put a small "x" on the Halloween party band to show you'd received it.

-- We got in line for 7 Dwarfs about 6:00 pm, they came out at 6:15 and we got our photo taken about 7:05. One thing I'll mention here: while standing in line, we figured out where we wanted to stand since there were 4 of us. When it was our turn, we went to those places to stand, but the Photopass CMs moved us all around. We figured maybe they had a better angle on the photo, but NO! The Photopass photo has one of our teens standing directly in front of Happy to the extent you can't even see Happy's face -- big disappointment.

-- Someone (maybe@MinnieMSue) asked about Jane, Tarzan & Terk. Yes, they all sign autographs and had a lot of interaction with guests. These characters do not have a Photopass photographer and the wait was really, really long for them. The lighting was odd for this location, too and all of the photos I took have a yellow-ish look to them.

-- The rides we went on had very little wait times, which was great.

--Because of the rain, many people seemed to leave the park. We did see both Celebrate the Magic and Hallowishes, but these happened much later than the scheduled time; if I had to guess, maybe around 11:30 pm or so.

-- After the rain, there were numerous Photopass photographers all along Main St. We got our poisoned Apple/cauldron photo with almost no waiting.

-- At 12:10 am, my DD and I went out in front of the train station for the Headless Horseman magic shot. They had 2 Photopass photographers set up to take this photo and each line was not very long, maybe 10 people in each line; the line moved quickly.

-- We did not see the first parade and I was determined to see the second one!! We sat on Main St across from the Emporium for the Boo to You parade and there was plenty of seating as so many people had left the park by now. By the time the parade reached us, it was 12:30 am. After this, the party was officially done and everyone left.

-- Overall, a very fun night! We didn't get everything done that we wanted to, but I think it's because we picked 2 character photos that both had long waits (7 Dwarfs and Tarzan/Jane/Terk).
