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

[Mom2Stitch]

Booked the dessert party for 9/8. Just an FYI for others trying to book a party of 2-it showed as not available. Thanks to another Diser I found out that I had to book for a party of 3, I just had to make one of those an infant to not be charged.

Now DS is hinting that he wants to go with us, if we take him I'm hoping I can add him.

Just noticed there are sequenced ticket numbers on my four e tickets I purchased tonight. I wonder if this is the number of tickets sold for my party date so far.

I have a question about the dessert party. I booked it for October 25th for my mom and I. She will be on an ECV after having just had a fairly major foot surgery, so I thought this might be a good way to guarantee her a good view of the parade and fireworks with little stress. Our other goals for the night will be to see the Hocus Pocus show, ride Haunted Mansion, trick or treat, and take fun photos. We also may attempt to meet at least one character (either 7 dwarves or Minnie, daisy in costume). Does this seem doable with using time for the dessert party? Last year we did all this (except a character meet) with out doing the dessert party and actually left a little early due to rain but we went to an earlier, non sold out party. Thanks for any advice!

Just booked a 5-day package (8/31-9/4) Coronado w/ free dining. After paying full price for our April trip, we're trying to make this more frugal. Can't decide whether to pay $215 extra for 9/2 MNSSHP (me, DH & DS14).

Pros: We've never done MNSSHP or MVMCP, Halloween is my BDay, we love the season/dressing up & may never get another chance to do this party.
Cons: Our package includes hoppers, so we're kinda wasting the value of what we've already purchased.

Dropping 1 day off ticket package will save $45 & bring the extra cost for party down to $170. We can chill in the pool that day, then go to MK at 4pm. Hope it's not as crowded as first day last year, being it's an earlier date.
I should just go for it, right?

Did they announce that they are doing Hocus Pocus stuff again this year? That seems odd that they would do it two years in a row.

Interesting. I bought my tickets almost a full day later then you for the 9/2 party date and my ticket #'s are just under 2500. I wonder if they did sell that many tickets for the first party yesterday?

similar question, i have booked cinderella castle for 6,40 on a mnsshp night but not attending that night, will i be able to do cinderella castle and be escorted out after or do i need ticket for halloween, thanks in advance

I would check your reservation or your reservation email. If it says

"Your reservation occurs during a special event, which requires a separate admission ticket for park entry. Please ensure all members of your dining party hold tickets for this event."

then you need a ticket.

From what I heard in another thread 5:55 is the latest you can book for Cinderella Royal Table without requiring a ticket, but I can't confirm this

Just talked to a CM for separate issue but he did confirm that you will indeed need a party wrist band after a certain time to have ADRs on party nights. He even double checked that we would be attending a party for our CRT at 655pm on Oct 4th.

Just imagine that I don't know about needing to have a ticket for a 6pm reservation, that means I would be charge the entire amount for the dinner (because I have already prepaid), without being allowed to go in, and a disappointed child not able to meet the princesses and eat in the castle. In my case for a party of 5, that would be $350 gone just like that.

I really wish this doesn't happen to anyone.

i bought my tickets for Oct. 31st at around 7am yesterday and have ticket #s 99 and 100. Bought for 9/16 a little after and have #s 87 and 88.

No, tax was added after that. It was quoted the $74/$44 and then $12 in tax. For two adults and one child it came out to $205.

Same. I purchased 2A,1C = $205. I'll dig deeper.

Interesting. I bought mine a little after midnight (about 12:30), also for 9/2, and my number is around 100 higher than yours, so I think you guys may be on to something with it being ticket count.

I hope not, bought mine a little after midnight for 9/20 and I have tickets 601-606

You're definitely asking the wrong people if you're looking for anything other than a bunch of enablers.

Definitely go for it! We're doing the 9/2 party as well because I just can't pass up the chance at a pre-Labour day early party. We always travel that same week to WDW (like it to be the last hoorah of summer before back to school for my son) and I'm not one to pull him from school, so I know the chances of being able to take part in this party again are low so it was an easy decision for me. Do it!!

If I have a MNSSHP ticket and an AP can I book 2 sets of FastPasses that day? (One set in MK from 3:30-6:30, and one set somewhere else earlier in the day?)

Yes, and the previous show ran for a long time before that.

Only with two separate MDE accounts

It probably is...that party will likely be packed since it's before more schools start, right on Labor Day weekend, and it's usually the free media event (and it's one of the discount dates). I wouldn't go to that party expecting short lines...

Not true. You would know. It's in the T&C you have to scroll through then check the box that you understand. Also, it's a popup box, that states this info before you confirm/pay for your reservation.
