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

[Raimiette]

Looking at the dates in Sept released so far, On sept 8 Thursday Magic Kingdom is closing at 7:00 does that mean there might be a Halloween party on nights that Magic Kingdom closes at 7:00?

Oh my gosh, don't get my hopes up! lol

I couldn't do a DW trip this year due to finances but I am going September 3-11 to Universal and would be super excited if I could do a Halloween party to get a little Disney in.

I dont get it, they know we are super planners and we are trying to map out our ADRs LOL!

Yes! Super Planner here & love it!
I need this info. My ADRs 180D isn't until next month, but I know it's this month for those traveling to WDW in September. Plan 2 do 2 parties, 1 being on Halloween - me, DH, DD8. Need to know that trend of parties on Thursday, Friday & Sunday for October is the same this year. This will help me with actual arrival date (I may change to day earlier), which park for which day, & then where to eat each day. I NEED THESE DATES!

Come on Disney, just received email from Universal announcing Halloween Horror Nights dates & special Halloween packages.

I'm done.

He's guessing, though.

Those are guesses, as there are question marks on some of them.

I really was hoping they'd do the parties later this year again, so we wouldn't have to worry about early MK closings during our dates, but I wouldn't mind at all if these end up being the dates. Only 1 party during our trip is fine with me! Lol

Following! Thank you for this thread!

For all they want you to plan in advance (dining, Fastpasses, etc) you'd think they would give us this info!! I haven't even started working on plans just yet because I need to no dates for the parties first!

Hallow-Wishes and Boo to You Parade are showing up on the Entertainment page for Magic Kingdom under Schedule Unavailable...but the fact that they are listed there tells me maybe they are starting to make some updates on the web in preparation for releasing the dates....

Ugh. I really wish they'd release dates. We have a room booked at VGF Sept. 11-15 for our honeymoon and we are planning to do a split stay - either the week before our VGF stay or the week after. Would prefer to do it the week before seeing as if we did our stay the week after, wherever else we end up staying will come nowhere close to the Grand Floridian. But.... I also don't want to book the stay the week before (Sept 4-11) and potentially miss MNSSHP. We've never been and I've always wanted to go!

Who is a Josh and how accurate is he in predictions?

 

[FeralCatRogue]

last year predictions were wrong for september I remember, I know a few people expected earlier dates because of calenders/history then actually occured.

 

[Day-Day]

This calendar shows days that the MK will close at 7pm which leads to a strong possibility for MNSSHP. http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/ParkHours/WDWTravelAgent_september.pdf

If this remains as it is there will be 3 nights in which the MK closes at 7pm during our visit. This bunches the crowds up in the MK on other days of the week. There are not many fireworks scheduled on our dates either but who knows what will change.

We aren't interested in going to MNSSHP but like to visit the MK during the day when this is scheduled because the crowds are usually very light.

Josh @ http://www.easywdw.com/easy/calendars/september-2016-walt-disney-world-crowd-calendar/

He has good Disney info. I do view his Crowd Calendars. He's pretty good with predictions. As OP stated these sites went by Disney calander with park closing @ 7 for parties, but not as many party dates were offered. Guessing he's going by that, last years actual dates, & September trend of party nights listed in 1st post. I always use KennyThePirate who has similar predicted dates. http://characterlocator.com/images/map.php?map=September Disney World Crowd Calendar Park Hours.jpg

I haven't viewed September dates/predictions throughly since going in October & no official Disney info.

Well im really hoping they are wrong. With September 8th closing early, I've had a glimmer of hope.... I'm really praying for a party that night. I haven't been to the party in about 5 yrs and need a refresher. When i went to it last time it was the same week that i am going this year, Labor Day Week.... I know I have heard rumors that the parties will start earlier this year.....They are so late in releasing their dates this year.... FINGERS CROSSED and PIXIE DUST needed!!!! They need to hurry up already. I'm ready to be disappointed and get it over with or extremely excited.

I'm sort of undecided on doing a party as of now. Sure it sounds fun but with a family of 3 it might be pretty expensive. I heard crowds were pretty crazy last year, so I'm wondering if it's worth it to spend the extra money when we could have just as much fun chilling around the pool for the evening. I love Halloween but I'm not big on dressing up or anything. Is it really worth it?

I think it's worth doing at least once. The parade are fireworks are amazing!

If you can grab some candy and meet some limited characters - bonus!

The characters aren't a huge draw for us personally, for the exception of Star Wars stuff. Candy however...let's just say there's a reason I'm on a diet!

I have a daughter with a corn sensitivity. Almost all candy has corn. Does anyone know if we decide to go if they have options you could enjoy?
