I did not see it in the main post. What time does the party end? Midnight?

Updated 1st post. Yes, midnight.

The only day there is a party during our trip is the 8th! Very happy about that, since the MK won't close so early on multiple nights, but I have never been to MNSSHP before. Of course the night of September 8th is our Hoop Dee Doo dinner. We weren't planning on going to the party, but this is something I would love to do solo after dinner maybe, and let the rest of my family go back to the resort. I have to take the boat back to MK anyway lol. We usually go in November, so I never go during the Halloween festivities. What to do, what to do!!!

Yes

I found the home made costumes the best vs the bought one. I would had love to seen a Loki at our party last year. He is my fav from the Avengers

My daughter was Loki for Halloween at home last year. She didn't think an animatronic mother from the 1920s would go over well in the neighborhood. Lol! For weeks I asked her if she wanted me to make her a headpiece and she kept saying no. 24 hours out she said, "I guess I'll take some horns." A bunch of stiff felt, gold glitter paint, and a whole lotta praying resulted in this...

Finally! Now I can really get my schedule together for my ADRs in 2 weeks. I was getting worried since we are only doing this trip for a 3-day park visit but all good now

Looking at Josh's calendar... He really discourages going on non party days because of crowds. We were hoping to go one party day to mk and one non party day, to see wishes, etc. - but are the non party days crazy crowded, like a 9??

 

[HappyGrape]

honestly when we were there at 2014 MK was just always packed. Hard to walk around on both party and none party days. Pick a day and make a good plan

happy with the dates but unless they revise the schedule for thunder mountain we aren't going this time

Its hard for me to compare (I don't know what number it was the day we went) but last year we went on the only non-party day they had that week and it was INSANE crowded.

EDIT to add: However, we got most stuff done on our party day, so really we didn't miss out a whole lot on the non one. It was just kind of uncomfortable at times. For me anyway, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves.

Anyone want to speculate on prices with me? I just did an analysis on tickets for non-premium dates Non DVC/Non AP adult for the past 20 years and Disney has raised prices on average 7.4% with the last being 9.6%. They did a HUGE 25% jump in 08 (interesting in retrospect) but the way things are looking now it wouldn't surprise me to see a double digit increase. So with taxes, an adult on a non premium date could range $79.25-$92.72. I am thinking somewhere around $85. For us, not worth it as we already allocated our big splurge for the Wild Africa Trek and they released the dates so late, we didn't even know we had a chance on Sept 1 until just now.

I was planning on going to the party on Nov 1st. However, they are no longer having a party that day. Trying to change my plans, I was really looking forward to going to the party. Which day would be better Oct 30 or the 31st. I heard crowds are crazy on halloween? Maybe not so much this year because its on a Monday?

 

[FeralCatRogue]

Both days sell out as far as I remember. Halloween will give you the most costume seeing if you like costumes.

Halloween party after Halloween?

Halloween party after Halloween?

Most years there is a party on Nov 1 or 2.

Yikes! Good to know, thank you!

I'm not sure if we will get tickets for the party this year (we've done it 4x) and won't know until I see what they do to the price... But for now I want to, so I'm going to join in again! We'll be at MK on Sept 30th either way!

I haven't seen on the Halloween party information where it specifies no Jedi robes. It just says no capes (I don't classify a robe as a cape). I believe it was Run Disney were they specified no Jedi Robes.

 

[wendyt_ca]

I'm thinking I can't throw a sheet over my head and be a ghost host.

From the RunDisney site:

• Layered costumes, that could conceal prohibited items, are not permitted (e.g. Jedi robes).

If they classify a Jedi robe as "layered" then it's not prohibited, only discouraged for the halloween party. So you can still wear it you may just be subject to additional searching.

I'm so undecided on going to the party or not. Our son will be 13 months old during our trip. We want to go to it for us, not him (I know he wouldn't even remember it), because we've never gone to it before. I'm just afraid it might turn into a miserable disaster with the baby. Are we completely crazy for even considering going?
