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

[Raya]

I can't answer all your questions but here's what I do know:

1)We may be interested in the fireworks show, but understand the hub will be gridlocked. We want to take advantage of the low ride lines at that time, but there may be chance we’d like to stop what we are doing for 20 minutes and watch the fireworks from afar (unless you say it’s easy getting in and out of the hub at that time). Are there any recommended spots not in the hub where we’d at least see the fireworks? We’d miss the pre-show and any projections on the castle, but would we still hear any music or sound?

I've watched the fireworks from New Fantasyland, behind the castle. It was amazing. You could see them very well and hear all the music. I've also watched from the benches beside Aladdin's Magic Carpet in Adventureland. The music wasn't as loud but the fireworks themselves were still great to see.

2)If I get the urge for some last minute candy, do they continue to hand it out at or near midnight?

Yes! In fact they'll be handing out candy as you exit the park. Last year it was Dove dark chocolate pieces. I stopped by every cast member.

4)Does the parade switch directions for the second show (ie Frontier to Main St, then back?). Basically, where is the start of the second parade?

No. It always starts in Frontier and ends at Main St. If you're quick you can watch from Frontier, cut through Adventureland and make it to Main Street (by the firehouse) to watch it twice.

Something else to keep in mind - we've found 'real' food offerings to be hard to find during the party. There are only a few counter service options available. So either expect to eat desserts and candy or plan for dinner before the party starts.

This definitely! We learned the hard way at MVMCP last year.

One year our "dinner" was 3 bananas each. They were handing them out at the Treat trail by the Jungle Cruise. We didn't realize there wouldn't be any place we liked open, and candy wasn't really dinner thus... bananas.

This is why i always make an adr for between 4 and 5 to get dinner before the party gets in full gear.

 

[NoMoneyThanks2Disney]

Exactly! Last year we did the Chef Mickey brunch around 2, we take forever to eat, and it was perfect to hop on the monorail after.

Should be able to I had it when I made a reservation at 5pm.


Blood orange chocolate cupcake....mmmmm....Now I want it and am not going to BOG this time.


You can book 4 to 7pm FP with the party ticket in advance if its linked to MDE.

You get FP+ if you are going to the MNSSHP? Even if you are not in the park that day? I was told by someone (who must be wrong) there were no FP+ on the party day. Is it just limited 4 to 7? Book them like normal on MDE?

We are going Sept 11th, our arrival day and we are not doing any parks that day other then the MNSSHP. Very excited as we have not done any parties like this before. And, we are big Halloween fans. If we get FP+, huge bonus.

Now, whether to slurge on the desert party after just plopping down a chunk for DVC......

 

[FeralCatRogue]

You get FP from 4 to about 6:30pm. It used to be til 7pm, but they cut off at 6:30 now I heard. And yep book em like any fastpasses.

 

[WDWRook]

Any chance you can get in for a TS reservation before 4:00PM? I'd hate to miss park time for dinner and would likely just do QS or snacks if we cannot.

No.

Not in the park (unless of course you have a general admission park ticket that you want to use at MK that day) -- but you could consider eating at one of the monorail resorts. Last year, we ate at around 5:30 at Columbia Harbor House -- it took us like 20 minutes to get our food and eat -- we were one of two families in the upstairs seating area.

We have a 4:05 BOG on Sept 13th. We've had lunch here several times, but never dinner and my girls will love it! I just can't decide if giving up that time is worth it??? We've also never been to a party. We have minimal interest in Jack & Sally, but "need" to meet the Dwarfs!

If meeting the Beast is important, and you want to eat dinner in the park then keep the reservation. Dwarves wouldn't meet till probably around 7 anyway. Also you won't be giving up valuable MNSSHP to eat.

 

[Well.Briz]

does anyone know if you asked to print your tickets at home and you lost the email will they resend it to you? it's attached to my account.

Does anyone remember when the line to the Dwarves opens? I'm half-remembering that the line doesn't open until 6 or maybe 5. I think you could eat at BOG and still get in the front of the line (or close enough) for the dwarves.

 

[clayj41]

I'm booking it from a 4:55 p.m. BOG reservation to Jack & Sally. Depending on the time, then I'll try my luck with the Seven Dwarfs. Tough to prioritize everything though.

 

[Amunet]

Just bought our tickets for Sept. 11 party! So excited!! We are going to try and get a hook and smee costume going I have a female version of a smee costume already, so it's pretty simple for me. Not so sure for DBF lol

This is DBF's first time at WDW and so, also his first MNSSHP (this will be my third, but first with hocus pocus!). He loves the idea of meeting the characters but doesn't really know how to interact, so I suggested autographs. Do any of the characters in the party do autographs?

 

[FeralCatRogue]

Some will make sure to interact with you, the ones that don't speak will try to get them to participate and if you go to Gaston he talks so much he wont care! But yes some do sign, I don't collect autographs so I am unsure who all does.

 

[nicolebridget22]

I wish there was a Hocus Pocus meet and greet....

 

[NoMoneyThanks2Disney]

Give Disney time...and more money. Lol

 

[Upup4fun]

Give Disney time...and more money. Lol

Does Anybody know if you have to also use a park ticket in addition to the party ticket? For example, if I don't have a park hopper can we use a ticket at Ak in the morning or do I have to use my ticket for MK that day to get in?
