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

[katie1992]

Booked for 31st! Need to convince my boyfriend we need to do fancy dress now.

Went wild and bought MVMCP tickets and Universal tickets as well all in one lunch break so my bank account isn't looking very happy!

Yes, originally for BOG, you can only make ADRs up to around 6pm on party nights. Last week they opened up the remaining ADRs right up and into the party times.

Thank you!! Finally got the dinner ADR I've been after!

So in years past, you could have an ADR in MK up until 659pm and be escorted out after (if you do not have a party ticket). Is this now changed? I see BOG reservations at 620pm saying they require a party ticket. Just wondering if this is a new policy or an error in MDE.

Maybe this year they're letting non-party guests only book until 6pm to try and have them out of the restaurant and then park by 7pm as much as possible

I just got a BOG dinner for 6:20 on Halloween and it said my reservation occurs "during be our guest dinner, and requires a seperate ticket for admission". Anyone know what that means? No mention of MNSSHP.

You need to have a ticket for MNSSHP for that reservation time....

So I was finally able to get a BOG reservation for our trip, but it popped up a message saying that it was during an event that required a special ticket. The reservation is for 6:35 though. We'll be fine since it's before 7, right? We will just be escorted straight out of the park after we're done eating? I would prefer not to waste time at BOG on our party night. Also, is the menu different or limited in any way on party nights? Thanks!

I was reading some old thread and indeed they allow reservation up to 6:55pm and if you don't have a ticket, they escort you out.

I don't think it's an error on MDE as I was playing around last week, making bookings for 6:10pm, 6:20pm and 6:30pm to see exactly what is the latest time I can book right up to the party, 6:10pm was the latest time I can book that didn't give me the "you need a ticket" message.

I'm hoping you guys can answer two questions for me about the dessert party. This will be our very first MNSSHP, buying tix for Coulmbus Day. So excited! It's the whole reason we planned an October trip this year.

#1 For those of you who have done the dessert party before, how did you enjoy the parade viewing from the flag pole? We were planning on watching it in Frontier Land bc that's where we typically prefer normal parades. Was the flagpole area packed like sardines? Did you have a good view of everything even if you weren't lucky enough to land a curb side spot?
#2 Now that Disney is shrewd enough to "sell" the Wishes FP areas by adding them as a secondary viewing location for Wishes dessert parties, do we know if it will be the same for the Hallowishes dessert parties? Hats off to them for their money making skills (lol). Since this will be our only MNSSHP for quite awhile, I'm basically only interested in paying for the dessert party for hub viewing of the fireworks (or rather, hub viewing in which we don't have to arrive 2hrs early to stake out a spot and get smothered in a mob).

We did the desert party last year and had a great time! We went to the flagpole at 8:15 and there was alot of curb space for guests. They came around handing out bottled water to us while we waited for the parade to start which was nice. The parade viewing was wonderful and not having to stake out a spot prior was well worth the price. After the parade we walked as a group over to the desert area. The tables were beautifully decorated and it was a quick walk through the line getting whatever treats you want. There was plenty to choose from. We had a front table because we purchased early and had a great view of the fireworks. For us it was money well spent and we really did enjoy it alot!

Other posts and threads are indicating that reservation times are ending earlier this year for non-party guests. Probably to assist with non-party guests leaving the Magic Kingdom. If party starts @ 7pm, guests would still be in park during party times and enjoying activities of party without paying for party.

Any info. as to if/what dates the military discounts will be available. Also, does anyone know the number of discounted tix we can buy with the military discount? TIA!

 

[monique5]

I have purchased MNSSHP tickets & the Happy HalloWishes Dessert Premium Package for Halloween night. Yeah! I'm so excited!

It's been 4 hours since I received the "Your Order Has Not Been Completed" email for the 9/13 MNSSHP and haven't yet received the Order Status email. Should I be concerned or am I anxious for nothing? Purchased with CC and am printing the tickets at home. TIA!

 

[goofynut41]

Got mine for Sept. 11 .... Love it when a plan comes together!!!!

 

[PSULion]

Anyone know how crowded the viewing area is for the parade at the dessert party? I've got 2 little guys who don't make it all that late (even at Disney!) and the parade and fireworks are a priority as this is our first and probably only MNSSHP. I don't want to go check in as early as 7:30 if we can help it... If we roll in closer to 8, are we gonna have a hard time seeing the parade?

Woo hoo was able to snag the "cheap" tickets since we're going on a Sunday. (9/25)

 

[Nicole N.]

I ended up booking for September 25th, $67 each with our DVC discount. Can't wait

This may be a dumb question, but I have no experience with MNSSHP at all. I plan for us to arrive right around 4pm with an ADR at LTT @5pm (my thought is to get our meal finished off before the official party events begin). My question is, do people show up in their costumes at 4pm and is it acceptable to be in the restaurant in costume? I'm assuming yes, but want to be sure so I don't look crazy.

Also, does anybody have an idea of schedule of events for the night, or when should I expect that info to be published?

Re: #1 We did the desert party last year and it was great. We sat on the curb with virtually no one around us (early Sept party). It was the best parade viewing we've had as we hate fighting people for space and we always seemed to get pushed out of any viewing spot we choose. Doing the party again this year just for the parade viewing! Deserts were nice too, but our 2 year old was afraid of the fireworks so we didn't stay to view them. It was such a great time and truly knowing we could arrive for the parade at 8:15 and not have to fight people made it so much more relaxing. Highly recommend it!

I just booked the Hallowishes party for this year. We are so over the moon! Just wish I would have been checking the boards and twitter earlier - wasn't thinking the desert party would go on sale now too!

ALSO - when I called dining to book the desert party, I was told it wasn't offered yet. Had to tell the gal I was logging in and booking it online as we spoke. I ran into the same thing last year (although then I called as soon as phone lines opened and before it was "officially" announced). It takes time for word to spread

Sorry if this has been asked but can I purchase tickets and add them to my trip balance or do I have to pay today?

You have to pay today it won't add them to trip balanace.

I have shown up in full costume (i got as the wicked witch so green makeup and everything) at 4pm with adrs at 4:20 both on Halloween and not on Halloween. You get some awesome comments in costume, but no one acts like its odd.

Does anyone know how early you can get in with a dining reservation? We have one at the Liberty Tree for 3:15?

Unless you use a regular park ticket and use those turn style they won't let you in that early with just a party ticket. I had AP and party ticket and they wouldn't let me in even 5 minutes early so i could get to a 4:20 CRT unless I walked to the regular turnstyles.
