Anyone have any candy haul pictures from last year?? I'm trying to remember what they had at the 2014 party I attended!

 

[FoxC63]

Several were posted a few pages back and man oh man talk about a haul!!! Bring your own bag if this is a big deal for you.

For anyone that did the Premium dessert package last year at MNSSHP, are you able to come and go from Tomorrowland Terrace after the parade but before the fireworks? I was thinking that my husband may want to take our son to do some trick or treating really quick after the parade while I sit with the baby at the dessert party. We bought the package to limit the amount of waiting needed for the parade since we have our 18 month old going with us.

Also- does the entire area have good fireworks viewing or just some of the area?

Yes, you can come and go, but I'd leave someone behind to save your table. With the new set up, all tables have a view of the castle, though those closer to the railing are better. Seats are no longer assigned (at least not during the regular dessert party), so I'd advise checking in as soon as possible for the best selection.

Shot in the dark here, but would anyone going to the party this year be interested in trading one of their Clawhauser cards for last year's party card?

My daughter and I made it last year but won't be able to get there this year and Clawhauser is one of our favorites!

This is the one we have for trade:

We would LOVE to!! My DD was so bummed because she loves Minnie and doesn't even know zootopia so this years card isn't doing it for her! We will be arriving there 1 month from tomorrow!!

We are a group of 6 going to MNSSHP. We are all also going to the Dessert Party that night. Check-in for the dessert party is 4pm-7pm outside MK at the Will Call window. We have a BOG ADR at 4:05pm. We also have park hopper tickets that day so we can enter MK before 4pm.

My questions... Do all of us need to be present for the dessert party check-in? Or can one of us check-in while the rest of the group goes to the BOG ADR & then meet up for dinner? Do they allow early check-ins for the dessert party for those with park hoppers?

I'm trying to figure out the simplest logistics for checking-in for the dessert party without having to walk to the back of the park for our ADR only to have to go all the way to the front & back again. We do have a plan B to take the train after dinner to check-in, but if we can avoid having to do that, I'd like to know before we go. Thanks!!

Edited: I got the answer for MNSSHP credentials on the first page. Still looking for answers about the Dessert Party. Thank you!!

Last year after the parade viewing a CM escorted us all to the terrace for the dessert party portion. You checked in there, and were escorted to your assigned table. You could come and go as you pleased, so I don't think there'd be any problem with him taking your son trick or treating and coming back for the fireworks.

MNSSHP 2016: What are you the most excited about?

I can't wait for the parade and fireworks with it being our first Halloween party!!!

Last year I was able to check in for my mom and I. She didn't need to be there. I think I remember checking in before 4, but after this long my memory is not the best. Lol. This is how it was last year, so they could've changed it. I wouldn't worry too much about having to hike back and forth. You're going to have to go back to the front of the park anyway for the parade viewing, and the viewing spot is just a short walk to will call.

Thanks for your response! That helps me figure things out better!

So excited to be going to our first MNSSHP on Oct 6. We will try to arrive at 4:00, but may be closer to 5:00. What FP should attempt to get? Ive heard most rides are walk on during the party, except Mine Train, so that was my first option. Next options would be SM, SM or PP. Any veterans have suggestions? My kids are not interested in character meeting and will want to do rides along with fireworks, show and parade. Thanks!

Gotta check out Haunted Mansion! The CM's dress up and you can take pictures with them while waiting.
Pirates of Caribbean is also a must - who does Halloween without Pirates? Plus if you time it just right you'll see Capt. Jack Sparrow!

This of course would be at his Meet & Greet location if you pass it by.

WOW! Did anyone else read about the Zika Virus in FL? Disney will be handing out insect repellent

YES! We won't miss those during the party. I was under the impression you could only get FP for rides from 4-7 before the party actually begins. I was hoping to get a few rides whose lines are long during our regular MK day done before the party begins. Those are the ones I am trying to figure out which to get FP for.

If you are most concerned with which ones would have the longest lines I would go with SDMT, PP, and then either Space or Haunted Mansion - though I'd probably pick Space cause HM has a great cue during the party. The lines were extremely short last year (empty logs at Splash, etc). We didn't ride Pirates during the party so that's the only one I don't know for sure is a walk on - SDMT we waited like 10-15 min after the 2nd parade (so around 11:45 pm)

Just make sure your FP+ are like 3-4, 4-5. 5-6 or 3:30-4:30, 4:30-5:30, 5:30-6:30 Do NOT go past 6:30 like 5:35-6:35 people have been reporting that those have been cancelled by Disney via email.
