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

[smitch425]

Hi Everyone...

I've got tickets for the 16th and this will be my first MNSSHP @ WDW but I've done the Halloween party @ DL. When I did MVMCP a few years ago a lot of the restaurants were closed including CHH. Is this the same case with the Halloween party? DL also shut down many restaurants for the event as well. Just trying to get some fresh info from those who've been at the party this year so I can plan my evening accordingly. Thanks

Restaurants and times are in post 1.

Now, I'm wondering, there are only 2 sold out parties this year, so far. Does it mean that there are less people going or does it mean that they just increased the number of tickets available? How busy has it been so far for non sold out parties? I went on Halloween night last year, and lines were not long, 7DMT aside. But I've been reading about long lines for rides this year.

I was at the oct 3rd party last yr and we went to last nights oct 2nd party both were on a sunday and it was night and day for me. Last yr seemed like there were a lot less people than last night. Maybe I was just constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time but there were times it was more crowded in frontierland and fantasyland than midday the day before and that was on the 45th anniversary day. Thats just my opinion because it sounds like some people on here had no issues last night with crowds. Overall it was an ok experience but i would almost guarantee they are selling more tickets than previous yrs. We have tickets for the 6th also so maybe it will be less crowded with the threat of a hurricane.

Now that makes sense. And Page 1 answered all of my questions. Thank you.

We have tickets for Oct 6th, and it looks like we're bringing ponchos and rain boots. Wednesday, Oct 5 through Friday, Oct 7th looks the worst for now.

Edit to add: Does anyone else think it' s waaaay too early for Florida's governor to be calling a state of emergency?

We have tickets for the same night too. I was feeling positive this morning because the cone had shifted off if Florida, but now it's moved again for the worse! Ugh!

We have tickets for Thursday as well. I'm keeping a very close eye on the storm, but I'm not worried yet. Yet. lol However, it does seem to keep tracking west I'm more concerned about my own house (Jax) and being away from it during a storm than I am about it hitting Orlando.
I'm just hoping it isn't a total wash out. I can deal with a bit of rain. As long as the parade is still a go!

I sure hope your home stays safe! That's definitely more important!

But I agree, rain is ok, but I still want the parade and fireworks! We are only there for the weekend too. Starting to think if we may need to do party on Sunday and miss and extra day of work and school!

We attended last Sunday's party (September 25) and Thursday's party as well. More of a crowd on Sunday with much less on Thursday. A CM at mad tea party said WDW offers alternative tickets on Sunday's for the rain out parties. Maybe that's why the past 2 Sunday's were more crowded.

We were also at last night's party and I abandoned my plan early on. We had a 4:00pm ADR at BOG and I'd hoped to be out by 4:45 to line up for the Dwarfs, but it was after 5 when we got out (which at least kept us out of the rain) and we still had to get our party bands, so we headed to Fantasy Faire. My DD didn't want to try the line for the Dwarfs at that point but wanted to see Philharmagic, so we did that next with no wait, used our last FP for 7DMT, waited about 10 minutes for Enchanted Tales, and then got in line for Pooh and friends around 6:50.

We were too late to make the 7:00 meeting time for Pooh, but we were the third party for the 8:00 meet (our pictures were taken at 8:05). Around 7:30, my DD got restless and wanted to leave. I was going to go ahead and go, but the people around us in line kindly offered to hold our spot for a few minutes while I took my DD to grab some ice cream from Storybook. In the five minutes that took, the line moved and the CM almost didn't let us back in but finally decided to allow us to go back to our place. I'm so glad we waited and were allowed back in line because we got some great photos.

We did some trick or treating and then headed for Belle and Gaston at about 8:30. The CM told us they'd be taking a break soon so we went and had our photo taken in front of Under the Sea. We went back and got in line at 8:40, meeting Belle and Gaston at 9:20. As others have noted, this was a great interaction.

We rode HM next but I almost wish we would have skipped it. The CMs were clearly stressed and just trying to move crowds through the ride when we got on, and the interactive parts of the standby queue were roped off. The ride also stopped three times. I like the ride but I had the impression it was cooler during the parties, and that just wasn't the case for us.

We saw Hallowishes and part of the second parade - they were great and I wish I would have prioritized getting a spot to watch the entire parade. Instead, my DD wanted to trick or treat and we rode the PeopleMover and Buzz before heading to the parade.

The highlight of our night was meeting Mike and Sulley at their dance party in Tomorrowland, since we were dressed as them. We got great reactions from them and the other CMs working the dance party.

We headed out of the park just before midnight, grabbing our SotMK cards and stopping for a Headless Horseman photo on the way out.

Overall, we had a good time but didn't accomplish nearly as much as I'd hoped (but I was really impressed that my DD stuck it out till midnight!).

Anyone seen the new maps posted anywhere?

I've been wondering about them too. Anyone comment on the new maps?

 

[FoxC63]

Once they came out it took half an hour. Really you should be there as close to 4 as possible and you'll be good.


Cruella out right at 7, in line now for Belle and Gaston.

Since you attended two parties, which was your favorite night? Where you able to purchase things on your wish list?

Finally finished!
