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

[MAF]

Trick or Treat bags have historically been provided, right? We may bring our own too, but just confirming that they provide some sort of bag.

The ones they give you are tiny, so my fiancé and I brought our own big bags we bought from Target. Best decision we ever made!

We'll be there 9/13....So excited! It's a complete surprise for our girls...117 days!! I teach high school Biology & Environmental Science, so I'm excited to have this summer to plan out all the details.

We get ugly plain white printed paper tickets for MNSSHP! Unless I shelled out the $25.00 to have them shipped to Canada. Yikes!

Once you're there, take your paper tickets to Guest Services (last year, we went to the one at Disney Springs) and they will swap out your paper tickets for the hard plastic cards with Disney characters on them. Assuming you book three Fastpasses for the party (if you're not doing a park that day), you'll need your tickets put over onto the cards or on your Magic Bands (if you have them....we didn't, as the parties were our only Disney days) in order to use your FP's.

Hopefully more people will post their ticket numbers, party date, when they ordered and how they're receiving them.

I ordered tickets for two parties (October 16th and October 23rd), two tickets for each event, on Monday, May 16th.

The ticket numbers for the October 16th party are 191 and 192

The ticket numbers for the October 23rd party are 193 and 194.

It would seem unlikely that the ticket numbers are the actual chronological number of tickets sold. What would be the chance that I got the 191st and 192nd tickets sold for one party, and the 193rd and 194th tickets for the other?

Yeah, I know. The ticket numbers that people are posting seem quite random at this point. Interesting that you got four numbers in sequence for two different parties though.

Going Halloween bought tickets on 5/5 for 10 people. I didn't check all the numbers but the two I checked were 2273 and 2268 so I assume that my numbers are around that for the other 8.

Haven't bought my tickets yet, hoping the dollar will go back up a bit before I do. But for the numbers is it possible they go up to 9999 and then start back at 1? Everyone is posting numbers in three and four digits so what if that's the most they'd go up to? I could be wrong but it's just an idea.

If tickets are linked to MDE then they should be on the Magicband, right? So do I need to use the card tickets that I got in the mail? Or will CM just scan the Magicband when we show for the party? Does it matter who uses which card?

Could be, although it could be that rather than separately tracking each party by ticket number, they've grouped them all by simplicity...so when they sell 9999 tickets for all Halloween parties, they start over...

I was wondering the same thing! I think the tickets are more souvenir items than functional once linked as well (but don't know for sure!)

On the ticket number thing: Tickets are identified by something called "DSSN" - that's Date, Site, Station, Number.

Date and number are fairly self-explanatory. Site and Station are where the tickets were issued. Tickets purchased online or over the phone generally have either WTS or WDW and then a 2 or 3 digit number for the Site and Station.

Once you're there, take your paper tickets to Guest Services (last year, we went to the one at Disney Springs) and they will swap out your paper tickets for the hard plastic cards with Disney characters on them.

Could we get the plastic cards at the front desk or our resort - CSR? I just customized our Magic bands today but I notice that since we are outside the USA they are not shipped to us. We pick those up at the front desk. At the moment the only park tickets we have are the MNSSHP which were purchased separately. I have the tickets, resort and Magic bands showing on my MDE. I am unable to do the FPs yet.

The last time we were at Disney the FP+ was still in test mode so I am so out of the loop. Is there anything else I should do so we spend less time at counters sorting things out?

Perhaps, but I can't be sure. We don't stay onsite.

I hope someone knows! I hate to not take them and need them. I'd have some crying kids and probably cry myself. But I don't want to worry so much about keeping up with them if we won't even use them.

Got our tickets for Oct 27th last night!!!

So I just talked to a CM who told me that you do not need the cards/tickets IF you are staying on campus as they are linked to your account. However, if you are not staying at a Disney resort, then you need the tickets to enter.

I want to piggy back on this for second, since this is my first time going to party on a non-park day. We still get access to FP+s with just the party tickets? That won't mess anything up would it?

We were still able to book 3 Fastpasses for the parties in 2015 in MDE using just the party tickets .

Tickets are typically linked to MDE if have account & purchased online. If not linked, go to MDE & add tickets to MDE account. Tickets show up as MNSSHP Tickets & are assigned to family members. If tickets are linked to MDE, only need MB for party entry, plastic cards would not be needed.

Green RFID Plastic Card are more of a souvenir. However, if tickets not linked to MDE, you'll need the green plastic card for entry.

Correct. You can book 3 FP+ b/t 4-7pm on party night with MNSSHP tickets. Hopefully this will be the same this year.
