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

[ammag]

Hi all..I am not part of your group yet but might be.
Last year we took kids to the oarty on Halloween. Crowded but amazing time, we were there 9 days so concentrated on the party things.
We are going on an adult trip for my birthday 10/2-4 (those are the park days) first real trip for us in 12 years!

going to the party might be my only way to be in the park at night. If it were your only chance to experience the park at night (no kids! Seems more special to me) would you go or do you think the Halloween experience is so different from the regular park at night it's not really the same?

Would we have enough time 4-7, then during the party to go on many rides? We would be fine missing almost all of the party activities....riding rides instead of watching the parade and fireworks. Would this be a good idea? I guess we are using the party to be there at night and to save a little money

We love Halloween, but this is a short trip and we are just not concentrating on it, esp without the kids. Not doing a costume, etc.

If we don't go to the party I THINK we are giving uo MK at night, not sure if I am just stuck in this idea or what, I feel like we want to do it for more romance and to be up late with no little kids tell me if the oarty would be a bad idea?

If you don't care about party activities, you can definitely get in A LOT of rides with little or no wait, especially during the parades & fireworks. You can always get some candy & catch the second parade without missing too much ride time.

Is there a list of the rides not going during the party? It's going to be hard for me to avoid getting ful on into this with costumes etc. but we are not checking luggage so keeping it small

 

[TrickRTreat]

to the party!
I'd love to see Disneyland all decked out for Halloween. °O°
Are you planning on wearing costumes?

Not sure yet...if I do it's just going to be simple. Last year I wore a skeleton onesie pajama lol.
Might just be a halloween shirt and skeleton leggings..something like that.

I wish they would add an Oogie Boogie meet and greet...I would love to get a picture with him.

I would like to know this too? I heard Pirates of the Carribean and Jungle cruise was not open, Is this true?

I don't think anything has been confirmed for this year yet, but last year Pirates was running, Jungle Cruise was not.

In the past Carousel of Progress, the Riverboat, Tom Sawyer Island, Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise, and Hall of Presidents have been closed. Of course that could change this year.

Minor changes coming!
Jack and Sally will be in the Liberty Square Gazebo, Dwarves are moving to a covered area in Storybook Circus, The Candy Unit in Boo-to-You Parade will be all Wreck-It Ralph themed including a new ground unit and Goofy will be joining the opening ground unit with someone else driving the candy machine.

Do you have a link to that thread? Where are they going to put the line for J&S?! That seems like the worst location possible. Lol

That's what I was thinking too! I thought last year's location was really good. And it was nice to be under the overhang and not have the full sun on you if you were waiting in line around 5pm.

Thank you!!! If we do this I will make sure to do those rides before 7. It's nice to see familiar faces from last year by the way!

Hi ammag - First gotta say what a great picture!
Well, let's dig into it. You stated you've already done the MNSSHP with your kids so you already know what you're getting yourself into with crowds, rides and Halloween decor at MK.

Do I think MK it's worth going to during MNSSHP? Yes and especially with just my husband. It's a great place to celebrate not only your birthday but also the man you love and vise versa. It's a fantastic time for the two of you to reconnect, be adventurous (while flirting of course) and feel young again, that's the magic of this place. It can be very romantic especially late at night walking through an empty park holding hands soaking up the ambience while wrapped in warmth. Yeah, I'm there.

You'll have plenty of time for rides between 4pm to midnight. Plan accordingly and be sure to eat before you arrive or schedule dinner after FP+ times are no longer valid.

Honestly, it's a great idea and I wouldn't hesitate to be there with my husband of 29 years.
Cheers °O°

With this new location how would people exit after there photo was taken? I can see where they would enter, would this become like claustrophobic as there are more people interested in seeing them?

Love this idea now if it would only come to fruition! I'd go!

What's a party without Pirates of the Caribbean?

 

[FoxC63]

Skeleton leggings - what fun! Light weight, comfortable and fun perfect way to go! Hope you & yours have an amazing time!

There was a portion of one year when pirates was not open because it was under refurb

WoW! I did not know Jungle Cruise wasn't open last year. That ride was always packed during MNSSHP in the past. It's a cult favorite why on earth would they shut this down? I hope it's available this year.

Glad I missed that party it's one of our favorite rides! BTMR has been closed every time we've been to WDW!

Hi everyone! I'm SO sorry, but I've been off the boards for awhile and I cant seem to locate the search thread option. I came on the desktop and still cant locate it. Please accept my apologies, as I'm sure this has been asked somewhere in the 175 pages. We will be attending the Tuesday 9/13 party with our almost 3 year old. We have some fast passes for the first hour from 4-5 then we are eating dinner at LTT. We are hoping to get on line for Anna and Elsa after dinner. Would that be a decent plan? probably around 6:15-6:30? Any idea on the wait times then?

Our only must do things are Anna and Elsa, first Parade. The rest is just some dance party and some candy stops. Thank you for any advice.
