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

[_auroraborealis_]

I'm pretty sure that CM was terribly misguided.

This is what the site says:
All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.

Basically, if you dress as a character, you can't pose for pictures. You cannot do anything that suggests you are Official.

I took what they said as not dressing EXACTLY like them. It seems from what cm's in last years thread said that people could dress so much like them that it was impossible to know who was cast and who wasn't. I don't go as a disney character and even when i started my questions I made it clear what my costume was the cm/disney thing was said to me without prompting on it.

Like buying an old CM costume at Mouse Surplus, Theme Park Connection, ETC.

Thanks! I'm thinking this is what we're gonna try to do and hopefully it'll turn out fine!

You're very welcome! We are going in September for my son's 2nd birthday and will be attending the party on the 8th. I'm hoping things go as well as they did the first time but who knows. Our interaction with the Easter Bunny didn't go too good lol. I hope everything goes great and you all have a wonderful time!

Ooh, this is exciting. I may go September 8th assuming the price hasn't gone up that much.

Quick question, does anyone know Downtown Disney's closing time in September? I am staying at Universal this year and my plan would be to take an Uber to/from Downtown Disney to get into WDW so hopefully it's open post-party.

I am not sure but I believe they are generally open until midnight and buses will run to Downtown for 2 hours past the latest park closing. You'll have no problem getting to Downtown.

Can you take Uber to the TTC instead?

Update: Per Disney's website buses run from resorts to Disney Sprongs until 2 AM - you'll definitely be fine

There aren't any buses that go directly to and from Disney Springs and a park. The Disney Springs buses only travel to and from the Disney resorts. You can pick up the Disney Springs bus at the Contemporary, though, which is what we did last month.

Uber could drop you off at the Contemporary and you could walk to MK rather than take the monorail or ferry. I would think they could drop you off at the TTC, too.

any idea when the operating calendar might get updated for September? Now that the party dates are out

The travel agent one just got updated on 3/18, although I'm sure there'll be additional updates.

So I'm planning on heading to WDW in October for my college graduation trip! I would love to attend a MNSSHP but I'm so confused with these new costume rules!! I'm obviously over 14 so would I be allowed to dress up? I've always wanted a Rapunzel dress as she's my favorite princess. My fiancé said he would help me make one if we were to go to the party! But I would not want to go through all the work if I would not be allowed to wear it at the party. Do you think they would allow me to just wear a Rapunzel dress?

I see no reason a Rapunzel gown wouldn't work within the guidelines announced this week.

The rules don't say that those 14 and over can't dress up.

I didn't think so either. I was just looking for others opinions. Besides I would look nothing like the character lol. I have blue eyes and long brown hair. I'm not into the wig thing and I refuse to cut or dye my hair so for me it's just my inner child wanting a dress like her favorite princess!!

 

[pangyal]

I'm so excited to go! We've only ever done the Christmas party.

Question- do they usually hold off on pricing for a while after they announce the dates? I feel like I remember prices and dates coming out at the same time last year for MVMCP, but I am likely misremembering...

10/27-11/1. 1st MNSSHP. Planning on 2 parties, definitely on Halloween. Enjoyed MVMCP in 2014. I hear MNSSHP is better.

 

[boltfan]

I have been to 5 MVMCP and only 1 MNSSHP and I have to say I much preferred the Halloween Party! So I'm excited that I get to go this year with my daughter who couldn't go with us the last time do to a Varsity sports obligation.

Until they sell out. I know, kind of sarcastic answer, but it is the correct one. Not all dates will sell out, and even the ones that do won't do so quickly. (And I mean it'll take months - Halloween itself always sells out, but typically not until October, although I have heard of it selling out in August.)

They will permit a dress. Just avoid it having a train (Punz didn't have one running through the forest, anyway) and make sure it brushes the top of your shoes at its longest (no drag on the floor). Also, avoid anything weapon like.

I can't get an answer from them if that includes a pan.

(I'm doing a Rapunzel Steampunk this year.)
