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

[anneboleyn]

Can anyone confirm for me that the Halloween costumes worn by the characters at H&V are the same ones they wear during the party? TIA!

The Halloween Dine at H&V doesn't start until September 12th.

This is the 1st year for Minnie's Halloween Dine @ H&V which begins on September 12th. Hopefully there will be photos/posts from the usuals like Kenny the Pirate, wdwmagic, Chip & Co., rteetz on Rumors Thread, etc. or the DPB will have a more detailed post instead just which seasons/celebrations.

Yes, planning planning planning!

Unfortunately, yes. May appear to be positives, but with negative impact. For instance, EMM additional money, Star Wars Dessert Party more $$, with new hours PP can't do both SW & Fantasmic! I know you don't have to do all of the extras & some simply can't, but with all the changes, as mentioned here, and offerings some are very tempting.

Removed.

What we know...
Disney typically changes calendar hours without much notice and around the holidays.

Disney has changed hours within 15D-75D timeframe. ---July 16,
http://www.kennythepirate.com/2016/...-hours-adjusted-and-more-star-wars-fireworks/ --- Frustrating and monkey wrench for many when ADRs are made 180D and FP+ are booked 60D, especially for veterans on the Dis, then throw in things like F&W (Eat to the Beat) which we knew date, July 21st, on top of late changes

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Disney's Hollywood Studios - nightly through September 5th (While MNSSHP is going on)

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular - Dates available through September 24th (recently added)

Fantasmic! showing for 6 months out, but within 15 minutes of Star Wars dates released for late September, so PP unable to do both

EMM...
Disney Early Morning Magic - Fantasyland --- days of week changed,
extended through September, Sundays & Tuesdays through September 27th

Disney Early Morning Magic - Disney's Hollywood Studios --- announced this month, starts August 1st, Mondays & Wednesday through September 28th

EMH??? Disney has extended park hours but I haven't seen any changes to EMH. I could be wrong.


So all of this going on during FD, MNSSHP & F&W

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Disney's Hollywood Studios -- Now through September 24th, Opened on Saturday. Slipped in while we were oohing bad ahhing over costumes.

Also, November calendar updated yesterday. As noted above September already seen changes. October standing strong so far.

Do you need park ticket and party ticket to attend MNSSHP? Or can you just buy the party ticket and get in?

Please read Post #1, important party & ticket info is listed there. Only need MNSSHP ticket to enter MK for MNSSHP.

Wish they would update October calendar already! Still haven't made my itinerary. I'm hoping they don't add any Extra Magic Hours on the days we plan to sleep in or Early Magical Hours ($) - way too early to get up when on vacation!

Thanks, I intentionally did read through post 1 before asking but it wasnt clear that the park ticket was needed or not. I may have missed it on my phone screen.

We are planning a pool/down day at BC resort one day prior to our cruise and a park day with noon arrival at MCO two days prior. For the park day, MNSSHP seems the best value in terms of cost/hour with the midday WDW arrival, though it costs much more than our last time in 2013. And we typically have several day tix so I didnt know if the party required a park entry ticket too, or if we just had "overlapping" admission that day...

Is Magic Kingdom the only park that gets decorated for Halloween? Or do the other parks/resorts get some love too? Just curious, never been at Halloween time before. Way excited!

I hear you! This is a huge factor in our MNSSHP debate (post above) - DHS is preferred for a "new to us" experience if SWGS and the dessert party are scheduled for our one park day - still more cost/hour but a new thing for us whereas we have been to MNSSHP. A 7pm close without it make DHS harder to justify on our one day. When will October be updated??? I need to buy the tickets and make FP ressies on 8/13, which is coming quickly!

The calendar has been released, maybe no updates. Ha! Maybe mid-August.

We plan 2 be up early for 2 days, maybe 3.

@disneymom112 - super cute, I love mail like that!

Thanks! The cricket was the last thing I was looking for to go with my Mulan costume...and of course DD has changed her mind again about her costume -- now she wants to go as Elena of Avalor! Which reminds me that I need to update that on the guest list thread

Tried on my Ellie dress last night. It's sort of making me want to wear a dress everyday I'm at Disney. It felt more comfortable in the heat. It's 91 at home right now.

BTW - Last Year, October calendar was updated on 8/11/15, but only 1 day had changes,http://www.kennythepirate.com/2015/...ld-park-hours-and-crowd-calendars/#more-28476. --- This year Disney has different/additional offerings....

So what changes could October see?
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular & the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Disney's Hollywood Studios --- Dates addes past Sept 24
EMM @ both places --- Dates past Sept 27/Sept 28; Would the days of week change?
AK extended hours (November only extended by 1 hr, not 6pm instead of 5pm)

I'm very happy for you! Your costume is going to be awesome!

If you look at a post I wrote way back you'll see I'm only packing 1 black skirt and 5 tops! I only wear dresses or skirts because of the heat. It's so very comfortable.

Oh and what and no photo?!

Yes MK is the only park that gets decorated. Fort Wilderness goes all out. Resorts do special things. I wish I could elaborate, but I'm at MK on Halloween night, maybe some one else can jump in?
