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

[them2854]

It's a Friday - they've spiked the prices on all Fridays (at least the ones during Food and Wine)...

I thought so too, but the other Friday's in Sept are cheaper...
9/16 is $72/$67 and
9/30 is $79/$74 but
9/23 is $85/$80

Sept 16 and Sept 30 are also Friday's with cheaper prices.

But Sep 30 is still more than other days...seems they've decided local Flordians and others love to come down for weekends of Food and Wine and holiday parties and they are gonna jack the prices on them...and they may have many more hotel weekend-only bookings around the 23rd, so they felt "comfortable" hiking the price for that one...

You know it's sad that I can't decide if this is sarcasm or real...

What?

 

[TwoMisfits]

What?

Getting a refund...b/c if no one buys the tickets for the hiked price, Disney would probably have to have another "fire sale" - you start the trend of overpricing and having a late sale, and people start to expect it...

The expensive one, isn't that the first full week of F&W? I think so. Maybe that explains it.

F&W starts 9/14

Now i can't wait for the joy of waiting on hold tomorrow or seeing good ol' donald and stitch on the site telling me its busy or down

 

[Disneymom1126]

Welp! Okay...so one less table service meal for us should cover the cost difference...of course we've planned on a Friday party to save it to the "last thing we do" on the trip...now I'm wondering if we should save a few bucks and choose a different night of the week!

While I could go to a party, I'm gonna wait until I see the weather forecast for my trip. Since I'm not going Halloween, I don't expect my party date to sell out before a few days prior (if that) and if it does, I could head down to the dark side and check theirs out for the $73 (since I have an AP there - heck, I might have to check if that gets me a discount now that I've seen these prices - wasn't planning on haunted houses, but wasn't planning on dropping 3 figures per ticket plus tax, either...

My time is valuable...and I figure once I decide, there won't be a phone wait...and maybe there will be a sale...

 

[Roxyfire]

Ho boy, the date I was thinking about going (Tuesday 10/4) is more expensive than the preceeding Sunday (10/2). At over $90 + tax each, that's just way beyond my willingness to pay. I'm hoping this isn't true but if it is, sounds like a night at the pool instead.

 

[Laneybelle]

Can anyone tell me if I can buy more than one ticket at the annual passholder rate? For example, my husband, my best friend, and myself are going. Could I buy all three of our tickets at the passholder rate even though only myself and my husband are annual passholders? Or just one per passholder? Thanks guys!

 

[Disneymom1126]

I agree with the previous poster that said it would be great if they reduced the capacity for the parties...but given the increases in all the food menus, etc....I highly doubt that is the case!

 

[Jennasis]

Yep. We're out. Definitely just going to spend the evening getting a nice dinner and then watching the fireworks from the poly Beach instead

 

[ToyStory90]

What time will tickets go on sale? Same time as dining opens? 6am?

 

[Just1Princess]

Can you buy tickets online, or by phone only usually? There's one cheaper (lol) night during our stay and the rest are higher, so I don't want to get stuck paying more than I have to.

 

[RachaelA]

We might be priced out after this year since we go at the end of october. We still have 1 free kid so it's not too horrible this year.

 

[brownie_17]

Out of Sunday Oct 2nd or Tuesday Oct 4th parties, which might less crowded?

 

[kittyab]

I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Hopefully the prices will stay somewhat the same as last year.

I am nervous too. My DD really wants to go. Please Disney don't be too greedy or your will break a little girl's heart.

 

[Janed]

We're out. Can't justify nearly $450 for one evening with 30,000 others. I'd rather actually spend $600 for the After Hours event with 5,000 of my closest friends.

 

[Eoywin]

The prices are higher but we are still planning on going. We are just going to not do a dessert party like I had planned.

Plus since it's just me and my daughter, it's not terribly expensive in the grand scheme of things
