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

[disBEAST]

After going to many parties, I would not suggest dining near party time, especially if you want to see characters at the party. Many lines start extremely early. And last year the Jack and Sally M&G actually started long before the party started. I remember a cm telling me to be in line by 4:30pm at the latest if seeing Jack and Sally.

This is true. Last year we waited 1.5 hrs to see Jack and Sally and just squeezed in before their last window. It was worth it though!

I can't remember from last year....... can anyone tell me what days of the week they usually offer AP discounts for MNSSHP?

Last year I believe it was avail for all the Sept parties and the Sun, Tues, and Thurs parties in Oct up until Tues Oct 20 (that was the date we went last year). Fridays in Oct and dates close to Halloween (after the 20th) did not receive the discount.

Obviously this contains many ifs (especially considering it's our first MNSSHP and I don't know all the rules), but IF we go to the party on our projected date of Tues Sept 12 and IF they bend the costume rules for party nights, and IF we can get an ADR for BOG that night before we go to the party, I am hoping I can wear my Belle dress (pictured in my avatar) at dinner. I'm sure there must be a rule that even if they do allow costumes that they're not allowed at dinner or something.

Certainly ain't holding my breath for it to happen. But would that ever be a dream come true.

LOL Belleincanada...I feel your pain.. If there is a party 9/2, we'll buy tickets and use our DTD day to do a different park. If I can get a ROL package, we'll change our schedule upside down. If the public free dining comes out and includes an earlier part of August, we'll arrive a day earlier and maybe stay at a moderate. If we can get an ADR at Skippers Canteen, we'll try it instead of one of our already booked meals. I'm really trying to go with the flow, but I wish they would JUST.RELEASE.THE.PARTY.DATES.ALREADY...then I could move on with my life. DH has threatened to get a Batman costume if adults are allowed, and DD13 wants to be Robin. I would not make a great Catwoman, so it could be Haunted Mansion Maid (again!), or Minnie (again!).

I've gone ot BOG in costume for two fo the mnsshp i've been too. Got a pic of me as the wicked with with beast the last time, for some reason when i went as Rogue he wasnt doing pics. I had an adr around 5pm for each. And I think it be awesome for you to be belle nad get ya pic with beast! One thing to know though since i am guessing your plan is belle's long ball gown dress, the way the seats were it was hard to not get my skirt caught under them.

Keyboard slip, definitely meant the 13th.

I sent a email asking when the dates would be announced and they said dates are announced in the Summer so I sent another email saying last year was February and the tickets go on sale in May.
Then next response was check back in the Summer. Really!!!!!!!

Interesting set of dates on this element of the MNSSHP page on the Disney site. Don't know if gifting started so early or went so late last year.

Wishful thinking for us & way to make money for Disney. We did the Christmas package in 2014 & it was on sale from October to early January 2015. One of our best Disney splurges. DD still uses stuff. Especially pillowcase & blanket.

We are really hoping to attend a party during our daughter's Make-A-Wish trip in the fall. We don't have dates for the trip yet but, we hope to go from Sat. Oct 1st until Friday Oct 7th. We have been to DW a few times and the MNSSHP has always been something that we wanted to do.

I saw this about 2 weeks ago so I went back and looked and saw that this was also offered at the end of August last year so it doesn't really indicate anything for this year

Thanks. I'm not sure we are going to go back to GKTW early except maybe for the Christmas party and I'm not sure about that yet, either. I know the village looks like a lot of fun so we will see when we get there.

Lots of information in this thread! Following along & waiting for dates!
Hoping to attend November 1st! Would be flying in that day. Attended the party back in 2008 & loved it!

It definitely is fun! My husband volunteers once a month and it's usually a Halloween party night. Usually he's hanging out with a jedi or an imperial guard and other Star Wars friends!
