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

[Amberleefuta]

I had to cancel my crt reservation on the 16th that started right before the party official started. I just canceled if anyone is looking for one.

For people who DONT go to any other parks on their MNSSHP night... My MNSSHP tickets are linked in MDE, how do I ensure when I enter the park after 4pm that ONLY the MNSSHP ticket is being used and NOT one of my regular day tickets??

So what does everyone think the chances are that they will extend the DAH events in to September/October? It might actually be more successful than the recent ones since people have less chances to be at the MK at night due to the parties...that may lead to people buying tickets so that they can be in the parks longer?

I am sure this is just wishful thinking. I am kind of bummed that I have to miss out on DAH since I won't be there until September, so I would love for them to offer it then (specifically September 15th if anyone from Disney is reading this lol).

I'm not 100% sure on this, but don't they actually scan your ticket?

I went back to look at when I booked and it was at 12:15am the day tickets went on sale. I happened to wake up and decided to check and was shocked to find one and didn't even think about the tickets for mnsshp going on sale. Wonder if it was a glitch while releasing tickets. There were no later times listed. Site was having issues before free dining so that's the only thing I can think of. I cancelled the reservation and will keep looking.

Yep, same here. In addition to our CRT booked @ 180 days (5:55 pm / not attending party); I also booked BOG immediately after tickets went live at 1:58 am for a different party night (6:25 pm / attending party) - and I got the warning.

Is the warning not in your email confirmation??

I am torn with what to do with my BOG on a party night at 6:20. I'm not going to the party that night. I called dining and she said it's not a problem we will just have to leave after eating. But it seems from reading here people are getting different responses. I will be in Epcot that day and hate to hop over and them tell me no. I have a BOG for lunch and I keep trying for a different dinner day. To cancel the one I have or not?

I would probably get yelled at for suggesting this, but why not hold onto your reservation until closer to the date and wait and see.

That will give you time to check for other reservation times, and if you still can't get a reservation as you get closer to your trip, you still have the option to purchase party tickets to get to your reservation (provide the party doesn't sell out)

I'm 99.9% sure that you need a ticket to do that 6:20pm reservation, but on the 0.1% chance that you are allowed to make your reservation without a ticket at 6:20 (you'll probably know about it on the forums after the first few party nights), then [evil smile] ...

Anyway, what I'm saying is that you don't need to make the decision now, holding the reservation will give you more options to play with.

Yes it did say it later but the first page that now states 6:20-10 special ticked event was not there. Since it's a hard one to find I reserved it and in the morning called and checked. That's when I was told it was not listed as a hard ticket reservation. Lesson learned. It's cancelled and I'll keep looking.

We are so excited we just bought our tickets. We are surprising our DD for her 21st birthday. Can someone explain to me how the MNSSHP tickets work? I wanted to buy them online but the site wasn't working. It kept empting the cart. I had to call to order them. It is for 10 people and I wonder if I have to assign these tickets to people? If so when? The CM didn't understand that question. He just said I will get the tickets in the mail and just enter the park with the tickets. If we link them, will they be on our magic bands?

Thanks for your help.

I'm not 100% sure, but I do know for sure they have a separate entrance for the party (specified entrance points at the main entrance)...so I would assume that is only looking for party tickets

When we went to MVMCP we had Park Hoppers & MVMCP tickets. Both linked to MDE. Entered @ 4pm on MVMCP ticket, that's what Mickey to Mickey indicated.

I see. I hope you find what you are looking for. We actually enjoy lunch much more than dinner, so I may end up dropping mine too...

That's what I would be curious about too since we WON'T have be visiting any other park that day. Seems like people who've been to parties in the past can confirm? Would hate to have to visit guest services later to sort it out in case it uses one of our regular tickets like vrajewski10513 stated

Monique5 - what does "that's what Mickey to mickey indicated" mean? If you checked MDE, did it correctly show however many regular tickets were left correctly?

I do know that we were worried about this a few years back when we attended. We had magicbands, but they only scanned our e-tickets. Maybe they do scan MB's now as well though? I'm also interested in hearing from people who attended a party last year.

 

[Disneymom1126]

The reason I said I don't know 100% is over our three parties, 2 of them we were in the park all day (i.e. Rope drop and then got our party bands inside the park) and the other 1 we had park hoppers and entered MK around 3 after spending the morning at Epcot.

For the people asking about entrance, theres special themed turnstiles that specifically are there to just take tickets/magic bands for the event. You'll see a big sign pointing to them and they'll be cm's with tons of wristbands and trick or treat bags near them as well. Last year they were the closet to where the bus left us off.

 

[Pixie Dust ✨]

The CMs checking tickets for MNSSHP are near turnstiles that ONLY look for your party ticket on MDE. They won't use a day on your admission tickets because they're not equipped to do that. Just don't go through the regular turnstiles.

Went to turnstiles entrance for party. Did the MB "thing" --- Mickey to Mickey---party tickets were linked to MDE. Turned green & verified that used party ticket with CM. ENJOYED PARTY! I was IN! Checked MDE the next morning, all was well.

I do understand your concern. This is all I can say on the matter. My goal was to enjoy party & worry about tickets later if need be. But PP had been posting that this is what occurs.

Anyone planning on going to 2 parties?

Anyone planning on going to 2 parties?

We are actually seriously considering it based on how many have noted that it's difficult to get everything done in one night it'll also be our first, so I'm sure we will need to figure out how to navigate everything. With our next trip to WDW not likely until 2018 at the earliest, thought we may go to DL next year, it may not be until 2+ years til I can go again and who knows what prices will be then!

The other thing is I'm planning for a potential rain out, in which case it definitely increases the possibility of going two nights, if the second isn't sold out by then
