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

[EEyorelover22]

Annoying, but I'll hang on to my cash longer. The longer they wait, the more I talk myself into not paying high prices and doing something else that night.

They are really testing my patience at this point. Today is my 180 and the website wasnt working (I got up at 245a west coast time and kept refreshing, still cant get through), 25 minute wait on dining on the phone and 54 minute wait on pirates league. No tickets released online this morning for the parties...

 

[smitch425]

They are currently just over one day later than the typical release time. Remember, last year's release date was several weeks earlier than usual. There's no reason to panic.

 

[GillianP1301]

I'm as anxious as the next person, but I agree there is no need to be overly concerned because they are still within the timelines of release dates for previous years (last year being the exception). I'm not reading too much into it at all. I don't think there is any master planning going on behind the scenes on this one, I just think it's scheduled to be communicated on Day x, which falls into their overall communication plans and we just don't know what x is. If this were early June, then I would be thinking they are definitely going through a major overhaul on pricing and all the internal approvals it would need before implementing, but for now at just a few days into May, I'm just going to continue to wait impatiently.

I'd like it to be announced since it's holding up finalizing my plans including flights. If the price for party is outrageous we will not attend and we will fly home on Sept 2nd. If the price is comparable to last year then we will fly home Sept 3rd and arrive a day later.

Plus it's not just this holding up finalizing my plans. It's also ROL/Tiffins/Dining Package and Club Villain~ will it continue or will it become Star Wars? and some other things the Disney has not finalized.

This time last year I had everything set in stone just awaiting the 60 day mark and already knew times for each fast pass.

That's how I like to roll and Disney made it easy but this year ~wow what a mess.

Thankfully we will be done with Disney for awhile after this trip.

Ugh was really hoping today would be the day!

I was waiting for the prices to book our flight as well.....then decided we would do it no matter what and decided to add an additional day, and attend a Blue Jays game in Tampa on the 3rd (bonus!). However, if the tickets are 150 I will be realllllllllly annoyed!! I feel the same way re: done with Disney for awhile. I think it's time for a (long) break for us.

 

[Velkoor]

So hypothetically is the tickets are double last year's price or even triple, who wouldn't go?

I mean we are only going this time of year because of the party (normally we go during Christmas). As our trip is planned around the party, if the tickets were $500 per person, we'd still get them. I'm not independently wealthy, we just really want to go.

If the tickets are above $100, I won't be going. That's my cut off.

I'm in the same boat. This would be our first party, but I'm only willing to spend so much. I'd even be second-guessing spending that much. I'm hoping in the $80-$90 range. We are annual passholders and are going on this trip regardless of the Halloween party, I just thought it would be something new and fun to tack onto the trip, but I'm not willing to pay an absurd premium for it on top of the already high cost of going. Hoping to find out soon so I can finalize dining plans!

 

[mousefan73]

Thinking 100!is definatly our cut off. That's 400 total. We have 9 day tix.


In that case BBB for daughtet, small dooney bag for me and DS gets something. Now when I think about it hmmmmm.

 

[skippyman111]

80 - 100 is my limit on tickets. We are going anyways and the party was just a fun excursion for one evening for us.

I hear you. The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking dooney bag instead!!

I'm pretty much in the same camp as you. It's something we really want to do and won't always have a chance to do because we always travel late August/early September. Realistically, I can't imagine them more than doubling in price (and even that is highly unlikely) and I would pay it. $500 I may rethink and opt for the VIP tour instead, which is $300 each.

 

[DiannaVM]

We've got all our adr's and stuff set, so really and truly the release of these tickets isn't really holding us back as far as dining. We were already going to do just QS meals all day on that day. I am just anxious to buy my ticket is all (and what it will cost!).

 

[danielle782001]

Still patiently waiting

Since we can get in the park early, can we do FP from 4-7pm? We have not been to the parks on regular tix since they instituted the advanced online FP so I don't know how they work. Do you have to have park tix on MDE in order to do the online FP?

 

[Huff]

A few $'s more than last year would be my limit. It's already over priced!
Its very difficult to plan out ADR's etc. when Disney doesn't release full schedule and prices until late.
Don't know if AK will be open late in the fall, don't know if fireworks will be at DHS etc.

Yes you can do FPs on your party tickets for 4-7. You have to have the tickets to link the fastpasses.


Got one of my two dining reservations set and I got Pirate's League. But the Dining line suggesting that since I was staying club level that I contact Itinerary planning services, because they can put me on a wait list for those dining locations I don't get. When talking to them I asked if they knew when party tickets would be released and she said, "the same as last year, late june, early July." I think she might've been confused because werent tickets release April last year?

Can we get FP's for the party that are disconnected from FP's on regular park ticket? I assume that the 3 per day is for the two tickets combined?

Yes, April 8th with prices released in February. And other CMs are saying May. At least be consistent.

Anyone --- Have tickets ever gone on sale in June (last 5 years)?
