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

[DisneyLove2015]

For those who did the dessert party last year- how is the view of HalloWishes?

Will do! I did not have intentions on doing any rides, only party specific things, unless there was time, so I will definitely add HM to my wish list! One question that maybe you can help me with. Is the line ridiculously long the entire night or could I get lucky if I time things right? Since I am a FL resident AP, I am going to a Friday night party. I know this will affect crowds so I would love it if you had any tips or secrets you would not mind sharing.

Well, our strategy has been to ride before 6:30 with a FP as the CM have been already dressed up. Then we swing by later and see the HM outside themeing after dark and "ghosts" without wasting the party time riding. The line was not horrible, but it's a pretty busy area. Hope that helps!

I thought the view was pretty great.

So we can't enter the park at 4? I have an ADR at 4:40. Ugh

I don't think that DW has ever officially said that with just the party ticket you can enter the MK at 4:00, but in practice it has been allowed every year we've been to the party. If partygoers couldn't enter until 7:00 there would be chaos and gridlock at the turnstiles with thousands of people trying to get in and all the non-ticket holders trying to leave at the same time.

So should we do the Hallowishes dessert party or do the dessert party on another MK night?

If the Halloween one is exactly the same they'll have reserved seating so I'd pick that since the regular one no longer has reserved seating. Which means you'd have to line up early to try and grab a good table and won'tbe able to watch the fireworks from the railing.

At the Halloween one last year tables were reserved and everyone could stand at the railing for fireworks. You also get a spot for the parade and we got skeleton mugs full of candy to take home.

When did the regular one change to non reserved seating? If it was since last Halloween, then I would think there's a high likelihood the Halloween one will change this year. I hope not though, for the sake of everyone paying for this extra.

Can I just say, how excited I am (as a 30yr old) to go TRICK OR TREATING!?

I was raised in a very, very religious home and we were never allowed to go out for Hallowe'en. This will be my second time ever trick or treating in my life. The first time I was 16 and my friends and I snuck out of the high school dance to go trick or treating - yep.

Sooooo.... I'm pretty excited just for that aspect of the whole party!

You should bring your parents.

Yes, unless they changed things you should be able to buy more than one ticket. I bought 3 tickets with my discount 2 years ago.

So if my friend has an AP and buys tickets for all of us, even if we're going separate nights, we should be ok right? Just checking before we buy them! Thanks!

It was since last years, but I'm not sure if the Halloween party would change without it saying anything. The reserved spot was important for the Halloween one because you come straight from the parade spot and are escorted by CM's to the dessert party so it's not like people could be standing in line waiting for it to open. I agree if it's not reserved it would be a little pointless, but the parade spot gives it 1 up on the regular dessert party. If anyone finds out if the Hallowishes dessert party is still reserved seating let us know!

Well, you have to figure at this point, either Disney are being Super Duper Jerkbutts(tm) and saying "hey, if you dine after 5:55 at CRT or 6:15 at BOG you need a party ticket, BUTWAIT to eat at 6:20 at BOG you also need a DAY TICKET HA HA HA HA HA," or the 4PM thing with party tickets is still a-okay.

Now, Jerkbuttery is certainly possible, but at some point, sanity must prevail we must hope yes yes.

The other day in one of these threads (I attempted to find it but I am having no luck), someone said that the desserts that they have the dessert party were available to purchase elsewhere in the Magic Kingdom. My DD8 just wants to eat the desserts but didn't want to do the party so I am hoping this is true. It would save me $120 lol. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks so much

I will definitely remember this tip. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the characters stay out until closing? I would like to get pictures with them, and I figure the lines would be shorter near closing.

For the 2 LONGEST lines (Jack & Sally and 7 Dwarves), they do not allow anyone to enter the line after 10pm & 10:30pm respectively so the characters can finish the existing line by midnight.

For the other characters, I hear they are much easier to visit after the fireworks, but I'm not sure until what time they stick around.

Just bought my mom her ticket for Sept 16 as a mother's day present. For those of you wandering about ticket numbers, it was 265. I'll be buying my own ticket the next time I get paid. I'm interested to see what number it will be.

My DD is a DCP and we are hoping that she can extend after Aug. If so, I am planning to come out there and looking to go Sept 29th. Excited to do this party and the Food and Wine too
