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

Make sure to bring the print out with you to the party - just in case. I'm sure you'll be fine without it HOWEVER...it's always best to be prepared.

Great advice, thanks! No one wants to see a grown woman have a meltdown in the happiest place on earth when she can't get into a Halloween party. That would be scary. LOL.

Pure sugar!!! Love this too

you can add the print at home to MDE by entering barcode.

My tickets show on my MDE account and I was able to book fastpasses with them. My understanding is that you still need to present a hard copy ticket at the gate to get a wristband. At least that's what my confirmation said.

If you don't have a MB. If have MB, and tickets linked in MDE then just scan MB & you'll receive wristband upon entry. When MB 1st started, there were problems with MNSSHP/MVMCP. And we won't go into details about tickets, phantom accounts & MB & entry problems. Due to this, PP recommend bringing paper tickets/Green Plastic RFID Card even though only need MB (if have it activated on MDE).

That's good to know thanks. I have the paper tickets listed as one of the documents to bring, and I will, but nice to know that magicbands should be enough.

If anyone listens to the Doug Loves Movies podcast, Sarah Silverman appeared on the most recent episode. She talked about how she just finished doing voice over work for a parade at Disney World - she's the voice of Venellope von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph. According to her, Disney is replacing Goofy on the float with Goofy riding a bicycle/gumball machine with Vanellope von Schweetz and re-theming it for Wreck-It Ralph. Silverman's voiceovers will be played instead of Goofy on that particular float.

Not sure if this is part of a bigger plan or project, or if it's limited to this one float. Just an interesting tidbit I thought I would pass along.

If you're interested in the podcast, it's on iTunes for free. Doug Loves Movies most recent episode, feat. Sarah Silverman, Wheeler Walker Jr., and Rob Benedict.

I listened to this today too! I had read about it when it was mentioned a few pages back but it was still fun to listen to her talk about it.

Good to know about the paper tickets.
We are set for Sept 18!
Now to work out what my kids are going to do for costumes.
The 5year old wants to be "a golden retriever". Would that be Pluto or Goofy?
The 15 year old wants to wear her dinosaur co-splay.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked/answered before - long thread! Heading to the Halloween party in a few weeks. Sort of a silly costume I guess but DS6 is dressing up as a monorail driver. I've been wanting to buy an old cast member name tag off e-bay to complete the "look." Any idea if Disney frowns upon that kind of thing? I wouldn't do it for an adult costume but have been thinking it might be OK on a child? The one I'm looking at is the old style from many years ago, not the current style name tag. Any thoughts, good or bad, are appreciated. Txs!

For everyone headed to the first party next Friday, I can't wait to see you all there! I'll be the crazy lady with short blonde hair in a Minnie Mouse tutu and yellow crocs!

Thanks everyone for the supportive messages! I was put off by the original reply - it wasn't sounding so "helpful". But we are off to the party soon, so sending good vibes to everyone on here and I can't wait to read some updates!

I apologize for doing a poor job on the wording. I was just trying to point out a feature of the forums that many people miss, and struggled to find a good way to encourage people to use it. I didn't mean to disparage anyone who either was unaware of the feature or who chooses not to use it.

So happy you are following this thread. I hope it has been and continues to be very helpful. We LOVE followers. Please come back and share your MNSSHP experiences with us. Also, participate in the trivia and poll (@OhioStateBuckeye) tomorrow. Costume?

I think it will be the perfect touch to the costume and would not worry about it all, like you said it's not a current name tag that an adult would be wearing. Get it before it's gone and hope you have a great time!

Update on me! Got my MNSSHP ticket and put it in a safe place. Kids don't know I'm going or they will be so sad they can't go to with me (work trip). Also, my battery operated lights came in today! I have to figure out how to attach them to my shirt to look like fireworks over my castle skirt. The Globy's came in a couple days ago. Those are hair barrettes with batteries and fiber optics come from them. Hoping they look like fireworks in my hair, you know, the really high fireworks over the castle. Darn work tomorrow when I just want to stay home on work on my costume. Adulting is hard sometimes.

2015 Sold Out Dates: 9/15 (Sold Out 9/15), 9/22 (Sold Out 9/22) 9/25 (Sold Out 9/23), 9/27(Sold Out 9/26), 10/9, 10/23 (Sold Out 10/20), 10/25 (Sold Out 10/22), 10/27 (Sold Out on 10/19/15), 10/29 (Sold Out 10/14/16), 10/31 (Sold Out on 8/2/15) and 11/1 (Sold Out on 10/5/15) --- 24 Parties in 2015

Minor typo: This says 24 parties. I count 25 parties total, 11 sold out. I'm not sure which is intended.

Quick analysis:

Although this may be more sell-outs than ever before, it's still less than half the parties. Four out of the six September parties sold out, but none more than two days in advance. There are more September parties this year, so it should be safe to wait until a week before.

The October parties sold out earlier. Ignoring the Halloween night party, which sold out in August, and the 10/9 party which doesn't have a sell-out date given, only two had less than a week to go before selling out. Starting with the 10/27 party, the sell-outs were all at least a week earlier. So if you're looking at a late October date, consider buying no later than early October.

Of course both weather and prices will affect the sell-out dates, as we're already seeing with Halloween eve. And past experience is no guarantee of future results, so don't blame me if your ideal party sells out five minutes before you try to buy.
