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

[Melissakay1q]

I purchased tickets for Sept 18 (Sun) and Sept 20 (Tues). These are my first MNSSHPs and I am going SOLO to both. Hopefully wearing a different costume to each one.

I also took the plunge and booked the dessert party for Sun 9/18. I'm going to prioritize seeing the parade and fireworks on the first night, and some rare character meets on the second night. Super stoked!

I'm going solo, too! Sept 8 for me, though.

How do cast members deck Haunted Mansion out for the party? And when? Do they close the ride at some point or is it some special effects that they can turn on with a flip of a switch?
This is our first ever MNSSHP even though we are Florida resident AP's. We are super excited but I have so many questions.

I know they don't cancel the parties for weather, but if they cancel the parade/fireworks, does anyone know if they let you exchange your ticket for another night?

Check 1st post under HM, but won't no for sure until after 1st party. Changes year to year.

The ride is the same, but the cast members are all spooky gouled up. And the outside is all decorated and lit with gorgeous lights. And there are special "ghosts" characters outside entertaining everyone. It's awesome. You should YouTube it, it's very cool looking.

Just booked MNSSHP tickets for Sept 13 (Tue) and Sept 23 (Fri). Why is the 9/23 price higher? Hope the slight price increase will keep Friday crowds down.

I'm going to book tomorrow, yay! Was considering going on my birthday 9/18 but decided I'd actually rather have a nice meal. We are planning for the 20th, hopefully it won't be too crowded!

Quick question- that Magic Shot on the first page with the hitchhiking ghosts...is that supposed to be party-specific? My mum and I got that same shot in front of HM in mid-December, so I am curious...

According to their terms, no. Your mileage onsite may vary, depending how long you would stand in a customer service line in the rain.

All of the Friday prices are higher as they are more in demand (more so for locals)...

I can't remember how it works but...if we're already in MK, do we have to go back to the front gate to show our MNSSHP tickets to get wrist bands?

Gotcha, thanks--I think I'll wait until the week before since we're looking to go in Sept. Thanks!

Well Sept 2 and Sept 16 are not priced higher.

But they are not as close to Halloween.

They should have stations in each land for getting your wristband.

Got my our MNSSHP tickets and dessert package for September 30th! My DS is going to have the best birthday!

 

[Disneylover99]

We purchased tickets today and opted to print our tickets at home. Should there be names on the tickets? Does it matter since the tickets are in MDE?

 

[Pawpsicle]

Woohoo just got our tix for Oct 2nd! I've been lurking on this thread for a while - just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the tips! It will be our first MNSSHP! Can't wait!!

For the dessert party- why is it listed as $69 for adults but I'm being charged $74 and change Not including tax? The child price is off by $5 too. Just found it weird the website says $69/$39 but when booked it shows $74/$44?

Tax???

 

[DisneyLove2015]

Tax???

No, tax was added after that. It was quoted the $74/$44 and then $12 in tax. For two adults and one child it came out to $205.
