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

[FoxC63]

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.

Okay, everyone let's keep the peace. Life is sweet, God is good and we are going to Disney!!!So lets focus on that!

WOOHOOOO!!! The FP we have been hunting for, enchanted tales early enough to make it to our CRT at 4!! It just popped up this morning when I was checking, it was only available for 1 of us but then it let me add it to the others in our group! This was the last piece of our MNSSHP puzzle!

Well I had some down time today (finally!) to do some planning for our party night. We're going to see the 9:15 Castle show, the 10:15 fireworks, then the 11:15 parade. I figured that way we'd be able to have fun roaming around for the first half of our MK evening

I did notice there was a 12am Castle show. Has anyone been to that one. I was thinking of doing that instead, figuring it'll be much less crowded. I'm 22 and my brother's 16, so staying up late is no problem for us

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!

They sent us a form to fill out, and it was a $15 fee for Fedex delivery.

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

September 9 - 17th.

We are going Sept. 18 and can't wait. I am nervous about the new costumes guidelines because we do go a little crazy with costumes. DH and Dd are wearing their costumes from last year. Dd is a porcupine, the head is a large "hat" and I might have to shorten her cape of quills because it falls just below her butt. Dh is Tick Tock croc with a large headpiece "hat" and a painter's suit painted green with an attached tail. Not sure what they will say about the suit. I am making myself the Cheshire Cat (Tim Burton style) and the eyes glow in the dark, and the teeth and stripes glow in blacklight. They are definitely over the top, but we had so much fun making them and they look so cool.

Typically this time of year the weather is hot and muggy. Rain is certainly an issue for travelers but will it rain on your dates is anyone's guess. This is my go to website it also has a full month predictions: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/Orlando+FL+USFL0372:1:US

I hope your trip is wonderful, just take a deep breath and focus on your plans and spending time with your loved ones

Oh and by the way I thought the castle show was new. Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire. Here's a link to help you decide if you want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOUFB8BAavQ

The one I wouldn't miss is Disney's Festival of Fantasy Parade - it has a FIRE BREATHING DRAGON!!! OMG!!! I can't wait!

Anyone making FP picks for the week of Halloween notice there isn't any FP's available for Rock n Roller Coaster? Starting October 27th (and I checked every day until November 2nd) there is 0 availability. Strange.

 

[FoxC63]

Yep, it's not strange - it sucks!

 

[Cluelyss]

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

There are tons of locals who offer their services (as a legitimate business) to go into the parks and purchase items for you. Generally there is a percentage mark up (10-20%), but well worth it when it's sold out everywhere online. A quick Google search should provide you with several options. If not, feel free to PM me and I can provide you with names I've used personally. Good luck!!

 

[FoxC63]

Very helpful Cluelyss - you rock!

I'm making progress. My Maleficent headpiece is done. I have sewn my friend's Cruella cape. (My sewing room looks like I gave a haircut to an uncooperative dog haha). I still need to sew my Maleficent cape and let down the hem on my daughter's Red Queen dress. It was her halloween costume 3 years ago but she's such a skinny kid that it still fits her in the chest, just not in length but when I first made it I made a wide hem.

I think there was some speculation about a refurbishment. Nothing confirmed yet, though. Could just be a glitch - shocking, I know!

The midnight show will be the least crowded. That's the one we will do.
