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

[SoarinSC]

Thinking of doing the halloween party 10/30 and 10/31. We went last year on 11/1 and loved it.
Has anyone ever done two parties in one trip? We will also be doing the Christmas party on the 11/8.

Color me guilty! It's really fun and gives you a chance to breathe a bit as far as just relaxing and soaking it all in...if you don't get to something one night..there's another!

Stayed up till midnight so I could jump on the Halloween night tickets...a little nervous that with more people going to the parks it might sell out that much quicker Going 10/30 and 10/31

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?

I recommend calling. 10/31 was showing no availability for 1 or 2, but 3 or more was available.

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

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.

Ok, hmmm. That doesn't sound good. I've emailed them and if i don't hear anything back I'll call when I get home tonight.

I had to rearrange some ADRs to make it work. But we are booked for the 25th.

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

Bummer! We are staying on Universal property this year so we won't be receiving new bands.

 

[SoarinSC]

Anyone know the answer to this? I know for sure I want 2 tickets, one for me & DD, my husband may go and maybe a friend of DD. When you purchase tickets do I have to link them to a person or can I do that at a later date...

During checkout they asked for a profile to link to...but I can't say for sure that you HAVE to link...not sure what would have happened if I had left them blank.

Your bands should still work if your tickets are linked to same MDE as the bands. There are multiple threads of people using old bands for extra fast passes by using separate MDEs too.

Ok I will give it a shot. If all else fails we'll still have the plastic card tickets and the app on my phone. They are fun to wear whether they work or not. lol

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

I ordered mine this morning at 6 am and received an e-mail saying that the confirmation was pending and I would receive an e-mail soon. I still hadn't received a confirmation by noon so I called. They said they weren't sure why, but it didn't go through. The CM placed the order for me over the phone and stayed on the line with me while I linked it to MDE. The tickets showed up and I thought I was all set. 15 minutes later I received a second e-mail with a different confirmation number and my account was billed a second time. I'm back on the phone now waiting for it to be corrected.

*sigh* I was so excited this morning and now not so much.

 

[SoarinSC]

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.

You can buy online through the main web page..just look up "special events".

 

[belleincanada]

Yeah, it looked like trying to book for four people, there was availability. To be honest though we probably will not do the dessert party. We have too many other expenses with the honeymoon (MNSSHP itself, Wild Africa Trek, Chefs Table at V&A) - and even if they do have gluten-free dairy-free and egg-free stuff that I can eat, I don't know how tasty it'll be.

We'll just try to stake out a good spot somewhere I think.

 

[SoarinSC]

For those people going on Oct 31 are you still going with the prices 105.00 We are

I am..it's worth it...going on Halloween is a tradition for us so we'll make sacrifices elsewhere if we have to.

 

[ml sumner]

Yay! Got mine as well-September 2 for us.

First Halloween party for me and DD(12).

This is turning into a really awesome second trip for DD. Not only do we have MNNSHP tickets but we are also staying at the posh GF, having tea there, going on the Wild African Trek and horseback riding at FW along with everything DD loved last year.

We are feeling blessed and grateful to be able to afford to do it up big time on our last Disney trip til DD is old enough to join me for Food and Wine!!

Your trip sounds amazing!

Tickets purchased for October 21st

Related to the parade discussion/dessert party to get good parade viewing spot. Last year we were at a sold out party and 20 minutes before the parade had no trouble finding a curb side seat (we sat down for the parade) right at the curve in the road where liberty square and frontierland meet on the side of the road of the liberty square market. Also had a great view of the fireworks from the FP+ area...also sitting down (our feet were hurting lol). For those reasons, the dessert party cost and time spent that you could be doing other things isn't justifiable, but I'm sure it is for others!

Oh No! I'm so sorry, that is really aggravating! I know, I was so excited this morning and now I'm nervous. The double billing is the exact reason why I'm holding off to call. I don't want to be double billed as I know how the CM's never know what is going on

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.

We are going on 10/4 also! Hope we have a great party, it will be our first time!

 

[SoarinSC]

Our tickets are only $7-$12 more per person than last year (depending on choosing Thurs or Fri). Based on this year's increases in the prices of resort, tickets, food, and "extra" events (while cutting staff and capacity), this is not that bad.

Thank you.

I chose mailed hard copy tickets, because I like having the actual ticket in hand!

Same here!

I recommend calling. 10/31 was showing no availability for 1 or 2, but 3 or more was available.

You *could* book two adults and an infant to fulfill the 3. Then you're only paying for 2 people but still getting the res.

I've found it to be quite common to be unable to get a party for 2 at desert parties which sucks cause i'm tring for 10/31 too.
