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

[Sinders99]

Looking for some advice regarding buying tickets in advance. MNSSHP is one of the big highlights of our trip and coming from Australia we're not likely to get back to another party for a long long time. I was going to buy our MNSSHP tickets for the 18th September but I'm really worried about bad weather. I've heard that the parties will still go ahead even in rain without refunds. What do most people do? Buy the tickets and chance it or buy them on the night once they have the forecast?

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?

You don't need a regular park ticket unless you want to enter MK before 4pm. You can enter with a party ticket starting at 4.

The MNSSHP ticket will only get you into MK 4pm-12am on the day of your party. If you want to visit any other park or MK before 4pm you must use a park ticket.

I would say the majority buy them in advance because of the possibility of a sell out. Usually September dates are okay to wait on, but you have no guarantee about that. I would get them in advance unless there are multiple parties during your stay, and you'll have a choice of another party.

Does anyone know if military discounts can be used for a ticket?

In addition to the chance of a sellout, you can book FastPass+ 60 days in advance (if staying on property) or 30 days in advance (if staying off property) if you link the tickets to MDE. You can do 3 FP+ selections with just your party ticket from 3:30 until 6:30. You can enter the park at 4 and use these FastPasses or line up for the Dwarfs or Jack Skellington in advance if you wish.

Yes but you need to buy them there at the parks to show the military id.

You can also buy them at the Shades of Green resort, and it'll save you a little money. I think it's tax.

You only need party ticket & should be able to enter MK @ 4pm using MNSSHP ticket. You may go to AK that day using regular park ticket, then MK using MNSSHP ticket.

We'll be there Columbus Day. Finally just ordered our party tix. We'll already be in MK prior to the party. What time do they start taking the Magic FP shots in front of Haunted Mansion and over by Splash? Are there any other locations for the ghosts? Any other FP locations in the park that offer other MNSSHP specific pics? Do they offer them til closing? (I may or may not be a scrapbook hoarder ) Oh, and what time does Mickey change into his Halloween vest? Any other "regular" characters change into Halloween clothes? Do those regular characters meet til closing? I know there are a gazillion "bigger" things to fit in that night. But, if I didn't work in getting as many MNSSHP specific pics as possible; it'd be one those regrets I'd feel for years to come. Even more so than missing out on a specific rare M&G. While I love living in the moment when there, our pictures mean the world to me. They're always my favorite souvenirs. I'm the sappy mom/wife that gets sentimental each time I pull them out (which might be more often than not).

Last year we rode HM before the party started, and there was a short line already. They did wait until 7 before they started the pictures, and they did them through the end of the party. I'm not sure what time the characters change, but I was told last year that Mickey's line stayed open the longest of all the characters, almost up until closing. I remember the poison apple FP was available in the hub last year. Just wanted to ask, are you getting photopass? It sounds like it would be perfect for you!

Thank you! And you know it on the Memory Maker! It's my Disney version of American Express, I never leave home w/o it! If Disney ever caught on to how much I utilize (abuse lol) FP, I'd be the culprit of a price hike. I don't ever pass up stopping for one of my khaki vested friends (lol).

LOL I will be purchasing Memory Maker for my upcoming trip, and I am determined to get my money's worth out of it, so I plan on doing the same as you!

We are military too, the dates for the military discount are not plentiful and IIRC all in September.
