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

[FoxC63]

I think because of the inclement weather during this party it will be difficult to gauge what the parties should be based on.

We rode SDMT with a 20 minute standby time.

Did you purchase anything? or see any characters?

 

[FoxC63]

Well, good talk! Hope you all who attended the party had a great time! Get some rest and enjoy your day tomorrow!

They started letting people in at about 3:45. There was a big line already of Halloween party guests.

When did you start lining up for that line to enter MNSSHP. If they let you folks in around 3:45 would it be ok to be there by 3:00-3:15 to wait in line?

We're coming over from the UK in October for F&W and we're doing the Halloween party twice! Any recommendations on how to best do the parties if we're going twice? We went last year so are reasonably familiar with it.

That would probably be okay. We got through bag check at 3:45 and we were going to go through the regular line cause we have AP's and that line was short, so we figured we could get our wristbands later. Then we heard a shout of hooray and noticed they started to let the Halloween party people through in their roped off area. Lines were probably 20 people deep at that point, but we noticed there were just a few people in line at the far right, so we cut over and got in within a few minutes. Then we waited in line for a few minutes after that to get our wristbands on. From bag check to getting our wristband probably took about 5 or 6 minutes, but that's cause we pay attention to the lines and move quickly as we spot new lines being created for wristbands.

its hard to get through all the comments.

Jack and sally came out early like previous year's right?

We plan on getting in line right at 4 at our party.

Here is our candy haul for our family of four minus several snickers bars I ate through the night. It doesn't look like a lot, but it filled three quarters of this big trick or treat bag and it was too heavy for me to carry. We missed a few candy stops along the way, but I think we did a few candy stops twice because we back tracked all over the park.

 

[Disneylover99]

Its the same mix of candy at each candy station...huge variety. Past years the have had all the premium chocolates (Snickers, Milky Way, MMS, Reese Cups), along with fruit candies, lollipops, twizzlers. They just throw it in there. There are two stations that are only weathers candies, and maybe craisins. I think its the same this year according to the Map.

I did not see any Wurther's candies. That must have been the stop I missed.

 

[Disneylover99]

This has been my experience as well but yet people have stated they received "handful at a time" - post picture of them doing this.

We never asked for any scoops of candy, but we saw others ask, and the cast members were very accommodating.

How were the rides?

We rode pirates and haunted mansion with a five minute wait and Space mountain, which was a complete walk on. We could have rode over and over. There was no wait for Splash whenever we walked by. It was a great night to do rides.

I was hoping for this. We have a 1:15 ADR at Chef Mickey's and then plan to head over to get in line at MK.

Last year the Wurthers were at a stop over around Gaston's/Little Mermaid area - if anyone finds them this year definitely post it cause those Carmel apple Wurthers ARE SO GOOD!

Is there no treat trail along the pathway between Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland this year?

ETA: Just read that there's no treat trail.

for those attending on these dates:
Sept.8, 11 and 13 depending on how dark they might perform the Hocus Pocus show at 8pm. This will not be on the schedule but they might do it as a surprise

 

[Disneylover99]

Overall we had an amazing time! We were there from 3:45pm til just after 1am and boy did the night fly by.
We did not find it crowded but it was busy.....just a hustle and bustle of people moving about really. Candy lines were long for most of the evening, but the lines move quickly so you never feel like you're waiting. There were lots of prime viewing spots for Wishes. We got an excellent spot five minutes before the second parade.

We have been to a sold out MNSSHP in the past. Candy lines, character lines, ride lines (mostly non existent) felt the same. The noticeable difference was the fewer people at Wishes and the parade.

So glad everyone seems to have had a great first night of MNSSHP!!! We are going in October (our party night is 10/10) and I had a couple questions.

1. We will be in MK already that day with normal park admission, I think I read earlier in the post that we needed to visit one of a few stations throughout the park to get a party wristband. Just confirming if this is correct?

2. More of an opinion or advice question here. What characters should be our top priority? We are unfortunately skipping Jack and Sally because of the time commitment it seems to take in line and are seeking out characters based on rarity and who sign autographs. Our plan is to do characters early and see CtM, Wishes, Hocus Pocus, and the second parade in succession to finish off the night (probably no trick or treating for us). Based on those criteria, who would you all recommend?

Thanks in advance!!!

Anyone meet with the Seven Dwarfs and Jack & Sally last night? If so, what was the time commitment like this year?

 

[dkhillerud]

How long was the line for the Queen of Hearts/Tweedles? I am going as the Queen of hearts, daughter as Alice, other daughter as the hatter, and Son and Husband as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. Was so excited to see they were added!

That was the best trail!

You have to remember this party was different because of the weather. You should ask party goers this based around the same night your party is on. I have no doubt it will be a different outcome.
