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

[jhaig]

Thursday Sept 8 is likely the NOJ MK access date. Parties may or may not start before the 8th, but I don't expect the 8th to be a party night (which makes sense anyway because it's too early in the season for a Thursday party). Here is the NOJ expansion article from way back in September...

Does this mean NOJ ticket holders will have a ticket to MK on Thurs only and not on Fri or Sat? I was kind of expecting to avoid MK on NOJ weekend just for the fact that it might be more crowded during those days.

The concerts are moving to WWOS this year, so the only thing going on in MK *should* be that Thursday night, but hopefully we'll know for sure soon.

It appears all MK dinner ADRs do not go past 6 pm in September. BOG has dinner listed from 4-6pm every night in September. I assume once they release party dates they will open up later ADRs for MK.

When making our reservations last week, we were told they were not doing any reservations past 5:40 until the MNSSHP dates have been released.

I have heard NOJ guests aren't too happy about the concerts being at WWOS. They like having access to rides during the concerts. Not sure this will go over well. In the past i believe that they started on a Friday night. Do you think they would require these folks to come in a day earlier just to get park access for a few hours? In my opinion it wouldnt be worth the extra money and they would have to pull the kids out of school longer..... This sounds a bit crazy.

Not sure how it will play out. They've been really unpredictable with pretty much everything this year already, so unfortunately, it's a wait and see situation. I wouldn't plan on anything concrete until everything has officially been announced. And even then, things can change!

I have a question I havent managed to find the answer to: is it possible to enter MNSSH, leave and then return? For example: get in the park at 4pm, leave at 8pm for an ADR and then come back?

(One on the likely party dates is my birthday and I want to celebrate it at dinner with people who won't want party tickets.)

It's possible, but a very big waste of money. You would miss most of the party, potentially including fireworks, depending on where you are going.

Today was the first of my three ADR dates (split stay between three resorts), was online at 6am with two different laptops (mine and DF's), and tried with the MDE app, and nothin' for BOG dinner. So much for the dream of wearing my dress at BOG.

The same thing happened last year. We couldn't book any dinners after 6 pm until MNSSHP dates came out. Then tons of times were added!

I wish they announce the party dates soon. I need to do ADR’s in a few weeks and it all depends on the party as to what park we will be doing for those few days.

I agree with Smitch. You'd miss A LOT.

Same for me. I was trying to make a BOG ADR the second my 180 window opened and I failed. I hope they open up more later, I really wanted it for my bday ;_;

Got it, thanks! So much for that bday celebration then.

I hope the party date predictions are incorrect. We are going for a short trip 9/26-9/29. We have the DVC party at Animal Kingdom on 9/27 (if I can get us tickets). I would like to go to MNSSHP on Monday or Wednesday night. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work out in my favor, but it would be nice.

In 2012 DH and I went to the party dressed as Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. It was a lot of fun!

I would not expect to see MNSSHP on Monday except on Columbus Day and Halloween itself and I would only expect to see it on Wednesday on a year when Halloween falls on Wednesday.

 

[Tia1977]

Sorry if this has been covered already, been trying to keep up with the thread...We'll be there Columbus Day week. Due to plans, that's the night I want to do the party. I saw an encouraging post above about a previous crowded, but good experience on Columbus Day. Other than that, little to go on. Is Columbus Day typically really crazy? I'm not set in stone for that night if it'd be substantially better to do another night...

Agree 100%

While I know the dates for this year haven't been released, traditionally, is there only one more party AFTER Halloween? From what I can tell, Nov 1 is usually the last one.

 

[FeralCatRogue]

2 years ago i belive there was not nov 1st party.

I don't know if they always have one on Nov 1st, but I wouldn't expect one later than that.

I booked ours Sunday and it sucks because I couldnt even book them all or how I needed to because my days are all based around what night we do the party. Some will say just booked the day I choose to do party but were going from the 9-18th so I have no idea when the party will start. If it starts earlier this year we will go to Sunday party but it could very possibly start the Tuesday we are there. Then I'll have either Tuesday or Friday to choose from. its really frustrating.
