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

[belleincanada]

I tried calling WDW-DINE to see when MK ADRs would open up for dinner past 6pm in September, now that MNSSHP has been announced. Yeahhhh don't know why I did that. They had no information.

Guess I'll be waking up at 6am every morning waiting to see when they've extended hours so I can get a BOG dinner reservation.

Woohoo! Hot Dog!!!
So excited!! I ran in there to read it to my husband that we were going to be able to wear costumes again this year! So much fun. Now to get planning, I'd held off as there was no point in gathering and making them if we couldn't wear them. Going for a cooler costume this year, we burned up last year.

Is there is a "better day" to attend the party? This will be our first time going if tickets are around the same price as last year.

Here are our options:

October 10: Check in day, party night
October 11: AK
October 12: EP
October 13: Check out day, half day in parks/maybe longer, HS

or

October 10: Check in day, HS
October 11: sleep in, party night
October 12: Either EP or AK
October 13: Check out day, EP or AK (will be half day)

To me, AK is still a slow park day for us but with the new ROL show it may turn into a longer experience. Haven't put my finger on that one yet.

I welcome any suggestions. Is there a good chance Oct 10 tickets will sell out because it is Columbus Day?

TIA

Assuming the prices don't get stupid...We'll be there September 11. Party of 4.

For Guests ages 14 and older:

• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.

• Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (e.g. full-length Princess dresses)

• Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist.

• Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, and hats are acceptable.

• Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords, and tutus. Headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.

• May not wear masks of any kind.

Woohoo! The wait is over. We now know that we can wear themed T-shirts, blouses, and sweatshirts.

We are not sure if we are going to do it this year and I was wondering if they have something at the hotels or other parks? We are staying at the BCV.

"Something" like what?

No "parties."

Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge have giant Christmas Trees.
GF also has a (near person-size) gingerbread house.

Boardwalk and Beach Club have some nice decorations, too.

Epcot has Christmas Storytellers, the Candlelight Processional and Holiday IllumiNations.

Merged several mnsshp question threads to this main one.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Full steam ahead on the Rey costume!

 

[JessNewt]

Now the real stress begins..... what will our costumes be?!?!

Sorry, a sweatshirt is a prop that surrounds the body. Please come naked.

 

[JessNewt]

Are those age 3 and under free for the party?

Uh, Robo, babesboo99 was asking about MNSSHP, not MVMCP.

Are those age 3 and under free for the party?

Under 3, yes. 3 is when children are no longer free.

 

[AtlantaDisneyDreamer]

Are those age 3 and under free for the party?

Under 3 are free. But they often don't last long. We took our 2 year old and she was falling asleep during the first parade. DH paid for his ticket, but had to leave the party early to take her back to the resort. Might or might not be worth bringing an under 3, depending on how he or she reacts to being tired.

 

[GraceMonica]

Are those age 3 and under free for the party?

No. 2 and under are free.
3+ need a ticket

 

[JessNewt]

Ah ha, that's right. Brain fart. Under 3 is what I meant to ask.

Good to know! The chubby 2 year old gets a free pass this year. Woo! I'm sure he won't last as long as his sister. Thankfully we have Grandma coming. She will always choose snuggles with the little guy over a party, so she can take him back the SOG if necessary.

I'm so excited!!

ETA: THANK YOU all for answering my question !

I'd be inclined to go with option B unless the travel is just a short drive. If it involves getting up early for a flight / sitting around airport and actual flight (which could always be delayed) it might not be a day you want to stay up until midnight. If a midday flight a possible flight delay could make you late to the party. We arrive on the 7th and will be using the same logic and passing on the party on the 7th and going with the 10th. First time for this party so very excited.

 

[Raya]

Welp. So much for that dream. Blarg. I'm actually pretty sad about it. I guess I'll just have to be Winter Anna sans pink cape! Since her dress is the only one that's not floor length. Or Rapunzel. But tbh the very last thing I want to do is wear a 20lbs wig in Florida.

Why not just have the Belle costume taken up slightly for the party? I don't know anything about sewing but couldn't you temporarily hem it by two or three inches?

 

[P&L@WDW]

YAY! I'm so glad to know that all the time I've spent on Hook, Pan, Tink and Wendy won't be wasted.

Here's a preview of Hook (Not finished - pants, shoes, and hat still coming!)
