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

[monique5]

So excited! We just decided to do a weekend trip to go to one of the MNSSHP at the end of Sept!

I was curious to know whether anyone has had any luck calling Shades of Green to get the military discount party tickets? It says on the militarydisneytips website that they will ship for a fee, but I was wondering how much the fee is. I'd like to try doing it so we can get FP for those 3 hours. We won't have MK tickets besides the party tickets, so we'd definitely like to take advantage of getting whatever FP we can get from 4:00-7:00.

Thanks!

Posted lots of pages back, PP did purchase from them & reported back. SoG info in Post #1.

I looked through the first few post that contained all of the FAQ information. I didn't see my question addressed. Hoping someone might be able to help me. My family and I are heading the Disney on the 10th and we are wanting to attend one of the parties. I am not sure which one we want to attend yet, as I would like to be able to see what the weather might be like on the days we are there. That is one reason I don't want to make advanced ticket purchases. Additionally my MIL is coming and we have already paid so much for her to come on this trip with us and I know if I pre-purchase tickets I will have to pay for hers and she will not pay us back for it (happened with her flight, room, etc..). We are staying at POR; is it feasible for us to go to the lobby on the day of or day before the party and purchase the tickets that way?

Where can I buy the tickets? When should I buy tickets?

• Tickets can be ordered by calling 407-W-DISNEY or purchase online, https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets/events/. Once you purchase tickets, they will be linked to your My Disney Experience account.

There's a female version, I have it! Check the park shops app or a personal shopper. Have seen them on amazin too.

I checked on the Parks app and they don't have it. What is a Personal Shopper?

I almost certain they have them at Memento Mori. I haven't looked at the Disney store online.

EDIT: Not exact version but there are these online:

https://www.disneystore.com/dresses...d-mansion-dress-for-women/mp/1409565/1000217/

https://www.disneystore.com/kitchen...ted-mansion-hostess-apron/mp/1364514/1000352/ They could wear something cute under it maybe?

I saw these online, I checked the park app and the regular Disney store but they only have the male version. I'll check again the parks app and select the Memento Mori store. Should I call them?

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering what happens to the parties if there is a big rain. We are set for the party this Friday, and there is a big storm out there.
I just assume they cancel fireworks and the parade. Are there any party activities that can soldier on? Or do they cancel the whole thing?

It's likely you will be able to do this, but there's no guarantee that the party won't sell out. If this is really a financial issue & not so much a weather issue... my advice would be to let it go. If you are already in the hole with MIL's flight & room, an extra $80 is not going to be the tipping point. Stop thinking about how "she didn't pay," true as it may be, or else it will dampen the trip for everyone. If the party is something your family would really like to do, I would check weather forecasts & make sure to purchase tickets at least a few days in advance.

See Post #1. However, regarding the current storms, depends on severity. Disney does has a Hurricane Policy.

• Please note that the party will go on regardless of weather, so even if it's pouring down raining, it will take place.

The whole thing won't be cancelled. The fireworks, hocus pocus show, parade and some characters and trick or treat locations will close.

The headless horseman will not ride if the ground is wet at all, it's a danger to the horse and rider.

If there's a chance of rain your night try to see the first parade, I've seen the first happen but the second be rained out.

Some characters will move under cover and most likely they'll have shorter waits.

There are reports of lots of people going to guest services if the party is rained on the whole time and getting refunds or tickets to a future party, but that's not the official policy and i wouldn't count on it.

If you are attending the party for rides, this could be your dream come true since many people will leave it it's been pouring all day.

Hi question - I read the first post and I don't think I see the answer.
We have MNSSHP tickets for Oct 20th. We will use our regular park hopper tickets at MK during the day - 9-7pm, we have set up FPP under that ticket. But can I get FPP from 4-7 under the MNSSHP ticket as well? Not trying to cheat the system - we bought both tickets, but just wondering if that is possible?
Thanks a bunch.

It's basically rolling the dice whether they'll sell out or not.

This is what i would do if you have a couple parties to choose from.

Keep your eye on all the party dates. So basically, keep checking back on the disney ticket site to see if any sell out.

If none of your options sell out, pick which one you want the day before and buy tickets at the hotel.

If all your other dates are gone except one ahead of time, I'd buy that last chance right away, even if it's weeks in advance.

If you have three potential party dates, and you decide to wait for the last one, buy tickets before the dates of your other options have passed.

Does that make sense? Just be sure to leave yourself an option or you might miss out.

I'd get in the habit of checking your potential party dates ever day for a sell out, it'll just take a few minutes.

It is under Post #1 FP+Section. It is possible. There's a link (must be read in detail, not for the faint of heart) since it is actually FP+ related to special events and not true MNSSHP info.

We went 2 years ago and it rained horribly! It poured for the first hour or so and a few hours before where parts of the park were flooding. For that party they did offer refunds to guests who asked as it was very difficult to move between buildings for the first hour to hour and a half of the party. The first parade was cancelled. Fireworks were delayed but did go off. The second parade did go off. Of course horseman didnt ride because of the rain It was hard for the beginning we basically hid in the Pirates and rode it a few times. Once the storm passed it was pretty nice because so many people left with refunds.

Not to be ugly, but I did not ask for advice on how to deal with my MIL and that situation. I have had SEVERAL issues come up in the last few days that have really hit us hard financially; so, I am not going to let it go, I am going to see if there is an option that would allow for the situation to be avoided in its entirety. However, as I stated, that was not the only issue as weather is a concern as well. We will be there in two weeks and the tropics are heating up pretty well. I don't really believe there will be much issue with the parties selling out as I do know this time of September to be lower crowds in general. I am simply trying to find out if tickets could be purchased by going to see a cast member at the resort as I believe my dad did that last minute on our trip last year, but I am not 100% sure.

It's $10 to ship.

FASTPASS+ NEW THREAD

Cluelyss started a new thread specifically to answer ALL questions regarding FP+ since Disney updated this system awhile ago. It's very thorough, easy to read and I highly recommend everyone to go there. It also includes information on how to split your FP+ for TWO parks. Ear mark this thread to stay up to date!

[FoxC63]

I love the trivia. Can't get a single answer right, but I will stock up the questions and answers and impress the kids when we are at the park!
Keep it going!

I agree! Monique really knows her business and certainly how to keep this thread so positive! Folks we have a winner for an awesome host!

 

[FoxC63]

Good Morning All! Has anyone booked their fast passes for before the party (4-7)? I can start booking my fast passes on Thursday. We are attending the party on Oct 31. We are not using our park tickets that day, just party tickets. Have any of you done this? I want to make sure it wont count as a day on my regular tickets. The party tickets are linked to my account long with my regular park tickets as well. The party tickets don't have a code or anything next to them to plug in when booking fast passes, so I am a little confused. Thanks for your help!

If you don't want advice about your MIL, don't post snarky comments about your MIL. "We would prefer not to pay in advance" would have sufficed but you went for the snark. Don't be surprised when people respond to it.

The weather is hard to predict for any of the parties. What are your dates of travel?
