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

[prettypatchesmsu]

I still have not received my confirmation email for my mail to home tickets...anyone else still waiting?

Is it worth it for the dessert party? I already bought the party tickets for the three of us for Halloween. Another $200 on top of that is hard to swallow.

Okay, this is all so very exciting! My first MNSSHP with my new husband on our Disneymoon!! September 13th cannot come fast enough.

A couple questions, as I'm a total newbie to ANY Disney 'special ticketed events'.

1. What time can people start showing up to the parks in costume?? We're staying at VGF and were already planning to do MK that day, but we'll grab the monorail back and change into costume, and then come back. We have an ADR for BOG at 6:45pm, just want to make sure we're allowed to be in costume by that time!

2. With our BOG reso at 6:45pm, will we be missing out on a lot of the party?

3. How early should we get a spot for the fireworks and parades and stuff if we want a great view? I would LOVE to do the dessert party and snag a great viewing locale, but unfortunately can't eat gluten, dairy, or eggs so the dessert parties are kind of pointless for me. It's the worst.

4. What is the schedule of events? Do things usually happen around the same time? (i.e. Are the fireworks at the same time every night, do characters meet at certain times, etc.)

Thank you!

We received our magic bands from last year's trip. Can we reuse them this year when we go to party? Would they still be even linked to my account?

IMO it's not worth it. The second parade was WAY less busy, especially if you sit/stand in the Frontierland area for it.

i booked cinderella for a halloween party night even though i am no going that night for 6.40 only after i had booked and paid did it say need party ticket, i rang customer services and she said as long as i was already in the park that day we could have our meal but would be escorted out after it, hope that helps all the people that asked about this

Hope this works out. Not to be a Debbie Downer, CMs are not always correct. I don't see Disney stating this info/disclaimers, like they do for all purchases, if it wasn't correct. Especially with so many complaints last year with non-party people in park after 7pm and the number of refunds, not with just the 1st party.

Edit: With that being said, I would wait until 1st party to see what people are posting.

1. 4pm you can be in costume and enter.

2. Except to miss about an hour.

3. They do have special boxes of things you can eat, I'm unsure if its worth the price to just get that but I know they do have things avaiable.

4. There's usually a set party schedule until the booklet comes out though theres no way to know when things will happen.

Thank you!

Do you know generally around when the booklet comes out? Will it be at the first party?

And, I checked, and it looks like there's no ADRs available for the dessert party on Sept. 13th, already (which is pretty wild, I wouldn't think an early party on a Tuesday night would sell that quickly). Any other suggestions on what time to get a good spot for the fireworks and where?

 

[busymommy2pink]

Just wondering what the max number of tickets sold per event is?? How packed is a sold out party? We went mid September one year, but it was a monsoon beforehand which I think scared away a lot of people.

 

[mom2rtk]

They don't release that info. Anything you see is just a guess. I would guess 25K. Maybe slightly more.

Even though that's a lot less than max capacity in the park, a sold out party will feel very crowded. That's because most people paying for the party expect to see the parade, shows and fireworks and congregate around Main Street.

I've heard people say that sometimes if you try to only book two people it shows not available. I would call and make sure there are no reservations available for that night.

Just booked Be Our Guest for 6:20! This is going to be awesome!!!

I was told during a recent travel show this year that bands can't be reused on future trips. The batteries in the bands wouldn't last that long

Does anyone know how many MNSSHP tickets you can buy with the AP discount? We will be a party of 10 and only 6 or 7 will be AP holders. I tried chatting with Disney and the woman said 1 AP can purchase 4 tickets and then sent me a link to see that but no where on the link does it say any amount of tickets. Can anyone confirm this? Also again it doesn't say that these tickets cannot be cancelled but is this still true?
Thanks for your help.

I got mine right away and was able to print out. If you don't get it soon, call in.

Took the plunge and booked for September 8.

I had a less than wonderful experience at the party I went to last year (2nd party in September, sold out date, you can read about it here: http://www.disboards.com/posts/54470052/ if you're interested) and was pretty disappointed overall but I'm hoping it will be better this year lol.

I am doing a Universal trip this year and this will be my only visit to the World so I'm remaining tentatively excited.

As for the prices this year. I'm not super pleased about them (especially with my decreased Canadian dollar) but for my dates it's only a few dollars more than last year so I can't complain too much.

My sister and I ordered our party tickets this morning for Oct 4th. This is our first party and it's on our Disney bucket list. We are so excited. Now I've got to get DD settled on a costume.

 

[SBWB48]

So I keep searching and on the 1st page comparing prices to last year is this the first year to do the tiering system? Does anyone think certain dates will sell out sooner because of pricing? I'm on the fence for 10/20 or 10/21 which is only a $13 difference, but that's a turkey leg.

Follow up question, if anyone knows, is there a huge difference between Thursday and Friday crowds?

I'd be curious about the same. We booked a Thursday as well, but over a Sunday instead, which was actually slightly cheaper than Thurs (72 vs. 79 - so two cupcakes per person lol ) thinking it may be less busy on a weeknight?

I booked mine around 7:15 am this morning, having them mail my tickets to my home. I received my confirmation email at 7:30 am.
