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

[smitch425]

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.

Anna and Elsa are in Epcot now. I would not expect them to be at MNSSHP

Definitely do MNSSHP with your husband and dress up!

I know some people didn't take to Duffy but my son did, do you think he'll be available for a M&G?

 

[FoxC63]

Will Duffy appear in the Boo-to-You Parade?

He wasn't at the party last year. He used to be available to meet in Epcot, but he isn't there anymore either.

Epcot is where DS became attached to him. When we went to TDR 2015 he couldn't wait to meet ShellieMay and see his friend Duffy. I pack on the lite side and my suit case was stuffed with these guys!

 

[FoxC63]

Does he even appear on the Christmas float anymore?

 

[FoxC63]

He's ready for Halloween at the Disney Store

I don't expect an appearance at all

How sad, hmmm I'll have to talk to DS about this before our trip. Any suggestions on how to lift his spirits when we do go? Any help would be greatly appreciated. DS has ADHD/Autism.

Does he have a Shellie May yet? If not, maybe you could buy him one. Maybe you could tell him he is visiting her?
ETA:just read your other post, so I assume he has her??

Yes he does have ShellieMay, I did look up Disney Florist to maybe get a treat bag with Vampire Duffy like the one I posted and they don't carry him but they do have Vampire Mickey & Minnie, would they switch? Is Disney Florist flexible or should I try to arrange this with WL concierge?

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?

I have been to the Halloween party 2 times in the past without kids (actually
This will be my first Halloween party WITH a kid). We always got there at 4 did a few rides, had dinner st Tony's and then lined up for the dwarves. We would be done with them quickly and then had the rest of the night to do all the rides and we would grab a spot last Minute for the fireworks and same for parade (parade viewing in frontier land is good and easy to get a last second spot) we always got every ride in we wanted some multiple times and enjoyed some party aspects

That's a costume, so you'd need to bring or buy the Duffy. I'm not sure if they would open the product & dress the bear before you arrived.

Duffy's appearances in WDW are now next to none, so rather than try to push a character that just isn't there anymore, you might be better off "coming clean" well in advance so that your DS won't expect anything more than... well, nothing.

I hear you Pixie Dust. But Duffy is tied to DS memories of his late Gpa. It was him to introduced DS to the bear. UGH!

It's really a shame Duffy never caught on in the US. I think he's adorable. Good luck with what's surely a tough situation.

I think they have them in the 12" as well. The outfit is for 17" Here's a sneak peek for Tsum Tsum Halloween Duffy, ShellieMay & Gelatoni 2016

When did you go last year?

Unfortunately didn't do the Halloween party last year but we did the Christmas Party instead. We had a similar plan but with a toddler we slowed down a bit and left a little earlier. We took meeting characters out of the equation then and still managed about a dozen rides dinner st Tony's and a spot for the parade in frontier land. We left during the fireworks and watched them as we walked out

This is a very different plan then, during the last week of MNSSHP the parks can get very busy. The first MCMCP was easy to move through during the day but it picked up quite a bit as the evening progressed.
