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

[monique5]

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

On the 1st post under Treats it gives the desserts (special/specific for Halloween) & locations to purchase. It's only about 6 & their full size servings. Not ones at dessert party.

Would I be able to be in the park wearing my costume earlier than 7:00? I know we'll be at MK around noon, and we have dinner at CRT at 5:55 and the Hallowishes dessert party check-in (or whatever) at 7:30 so I'm trying to think when I can sneak out to put my costume on in the middle of all that? I'm starting to think maybe I have to have dinner at CRT in costume... Is that allowed, is it weird?

You can be in costume from 4pm on.

My fiancé and I are going to BOG in costume on party night! And I refuse to feel weird about it. I'm just thrilled that I get to be in costume inside my favourite fairytale castle.

I have decided not to do the Hallolwishes Desert party. It seems that between meeting for the parade and meeting for the desserts etc that it would take up way too much of our party time.....

Is this due to the new costume rules? Last year, we entered the parks with our day ticket at 2 pm wearing our costumes, so we could see the FoF parade. Now, no one would have mistaken us for "real" characters, as our costumes were more of the type that is "inspired by" the characters...

This is something I'm afraid of too, but I booked it anyway. It's our 10 year anniversary that day so I want to make it special. Lunch at our favorite Liberty Tree, dinner at CRT where DH proposed, MNSSHP because we're big Halloween nuts, and the dessert party because we've never done it before. I would hate to miss the Hocus Pocus show as it's my favorite Halloween movie, but heck, even rain can throw a wrench in the works that night so we gambled on the dessert party anyway.

No, it's because Disney is inconsistent in enforcing their rules.

Talked to disney guest services today. If you have a dinner reservation before the party starts you do not need a ticket for the party to be there. (Our dinner reservation is for 645 on 9/16.)

I was able to get pirate league reservations for my husband and I for the date of 9/20 at 925 and 930 in the morning. We are going to the party that night. My question is what time are we allowed to wear our costumes? We are going as pirates . My husband costume willike be a white shirt with the sleeves, neckline, and bottom cut ragged and black shorts. Mine will be either the same or store bought costume. We have lunch at kona cafe at 130 and hoping to be back at magic kingdom by 4p.

Need some input: Deciding on date of party - either Sunday Sept 18th, the day of our arrival/check-in OR Tuesday the 20th when we plan on Typhoon Lagoon during the day. Both same price.

Worried about having a firm plan on our arrival date and being tired from driving (though we plan to leave on Friday night from PA) versus Tuesday evening after a day in the waterparks and an early before park opening ADR at Epcot the next day...

I am leaning towards Sunday night....what do you all think?

I scheduled that Tuesday so stick with Sunday Seriously though Tuesday is usually less busy I think

It depends on what wears you out more, travel or water. Personally, I would do it on Sunday for a couple reasons. One, you do not want to be falling asleep at your ADR. When I am tired, I do not eat, which is bad since food is what keeps many people going strong at Disney. Two, I am usually down for the count after a beach day that lasts five hours, but when I do Disney I am there from park open to close (My current record is sixteen and a half hours in a park nonstop). One could easily spend more than five hours at Typhoon Lagoon. Three, sunburn! Many costumes have a tendency to be made of less than stellar material that can really aggravate sunburns. Plus, I think Sunday should be a little less crowded than Tuesday, but crowds at Disney do not bother me, so I am not the best person to ask that question too.

Well worth it, if it's in your budget. I strongly recommend foregoing the trick or treating in order to maximize the time you have for other events.

Hallowishes viewing question...

We have not seen wishes without a dessert party in quite some time. Is seeing the fireworks from Main Street possible without staking out a spot hours before they start? If not, where are other good places to see the halloween fireworks?

 

[Regan117]

We got tickets for Sept. 18 and Sept. 23! Doing the dessert package on the 23rd so that we can focus on characters and trick-or-treating on the 18th. Can't wait!

Last year we watched from what used to be the FP+ viewing area in front of Casey's. The one in front of the Plaza was also open. We got there about 15-20 minutes early (before Celebrate the Magic) and sat down in the [fake] grass to watch it. It was not crowded at all...The entire area around the front of the castle and up mainstreet was pretty crowded as most people stayed put after the 1st parade until after the fireworks.

Ok so we just splurged for our first memory maker! We have never done this before but I've heard that there are several special MM opportunities at MNSSHP...? What are these and where do we find them? Has anybody had a good or bad experience? Are there photographers scattered around the parks during the party like a normal day, or just at the special ghost locations? With all the times we have been to WDW, this is our first time buying the MM, and I feel like a newbie! LOL
