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

[publix subs]

Anyone planning on going to 2 parties?

yep! we have tickets for 9/16 and 10/31

We are planning on going to two parties too! Tuesday October 18th and Thursday October 20th.
The first day will be Pirate themed. Taking DS (8) DD (5) to Ohanas character breakfast, followed by the Pirate adventure cruise at GFR (while I get a massage), then a little break at Bay Lake Tower pool before we head over to MK for The Pirate's League (we have a 3pm reservation now but may change it to 4ish once they extend PL Hours).

The second day of the party is Princess themed. Taking my daughter for a pre park opening 8am Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, then Cinderella's Royal Table at 10:00am and fitting in some Princessy meets/rides along the way (not sure if I should try to find a later lunch time CRT or keep the 10). Then back to Bay Lake Towers for some Rest & Relaxation before the party. Head back to MK for a 4:40 Be Our Guest dinner, then Party! I actually booked a Hallowishes dessert party this evening too but I think I will cancel it if I can get a regular Wishes Dessert Party on Monday 10/16 when they become available. Does anyone know if TinkerBell flies over during the Hallowishes party?

We are going on the 20th too and will be Pirate themed. When you do the Pirates league, is it just the kids or adults too? I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm curious if adults do it too as I would like to do it for DH and the kids. My kids are teens, 13 & 16. I thought I saw a package where you can get costume and all which I thought would be neat for DH. This is his bucket list trip and possibly his last so I thought this could something really fun, but I could be wrong lol.

Adults too. I've booked it for the 3 of us for 1 night. Basic info on 1st post a/b PL & BBB. PL as of now has all packages available for children except Captain Hook. Adults is make-up only with bandana. May include patch & earring???? Mixing up details--- too much trying to get exact time for PL, ADR & planning must dos of party, etc. Oh, well! I'm making this my BEST DISNEY TRIP EVER! Until the next BDTE.

We plan to go on October 30th & 31st. We have purchased our tickets for 10/31 & booked the HPDP.

We only have our kids scheduled but I think it would be fun for adults too! In fact, when I was researching Pirate's League, I came across several posts/pictures of adults who did it.
Check out the Official Pirates League thread:

Thank you both for the information! It's a bummer they don't do the whole shabang for adults too but in the long run it will leave me more money for food and wine festival

True. However, you could always purchase an adult pirate costume & take with you.

I've been wondering as well if I should do Hallowishes dessert party or regular wishes dessert party

These are interesting because they are based on attraction (i.e. ride) wait times and not characters, etc. In my experience wait times at rides are never really an issue during the parties (been to 2 MVMCPs and 1 MNSSHP)....we may be talking about the difference between waiting 5 minutes and a ride being walk-on (which all of the rides we did at all of the parties we've been to have been essentially walk on...maybe wait for one other family to load on Space and BTMRR...with the exception being SDMT). Not sure how helpful they will be in predicting how crowded the parties themselves will be!

Good point! I think the TP post is still useful because it shows which parties sold out. I would assume the sold-out parties should all "feel" about equally crowded. Of course, weather plays such a big role, so even with the previous years' info, it won't be perfect.

That's what we had planned on doing until I heard about the Pirates league which is a whole lot cheaper than paying for it at the Pirates league which equals more $$ for F&W!!

We are scheduled for 10/23 and 10/25. This is our first time (and probably only because it's very costly) for the party and we want to make sure that we are able to capture all the fun and magic of this special event. We did this also for MVMCP back in 2010 and it worked well for us.

First time MNSSHP goer here. We are able to go to the party 10/30 or 10/31. I think it would awesome to go on Halloween, however is there going to be such a significantly larger crowd on Halloween as there would be the day before? I am thinking that at this late time they should be about the same crowd wise?

They will both sell out. I'd go with whichever fits the rest of your schedule best. Keep in mind that Halloween night is more expensive, and if you're staying onsite, the resorts offer Halloween events on the holiday.

Thank you so much! I didn't realize the resorts had activities. I think we will go with the 30th and do things at the resort on Halloween!
