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

[CMNJ]

Has anyone ever watched HalloWishes from the Polynesian? Is it as great of a photo opportunity as like New Years Eve and 4th of July? I'm planning to go to one party while I'm there, but there is another party while I am there that has the fireworks after all of the other parks close. I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to make a trip to the Polynesian that night?

Yes watching the fireworks is great from the Polynesian (not as great as the pics I've seen from 4th of July but that is a larger fireworks display I think)

We ordered these treat bags from the ShopDisney app. Are they the same bags that you receive at the party?

Might want to check your local dollar tree-I got super cute Mickey trick or treat bags there for $1 for last year.

Yes, the view is just as amazing. Recent reports from the first few parties, however, were that the music was not being piped in on the beach. Not sure if it was a glitch, as others on the Poly resort board reported having music last year during the parties, or if this was to entice people to buy a party ticket??

The absolutely piped in the music last year. We watched Hallowishes from the Trader Sam's tiki terrace a few times when we stayed there last year. Alcoholic dole whip and Hallowishes....yes please
Sad to hear they aren't doing it this year-but since we are at BWV this year probably wouldn't try it anyway

That's an old bucket, too! They're killing me! Lol

I'm just glad there is a different refillable option to the haunted mansion ghost one-we got that one last year and my son loves popcorn-that's his snack at F&W

That's my snack every day at every park, which is why I started collecting the buckets. Maybe by the time I arrive there will be a new one. A girl can dream. Lol!

Quick question - We are planning to buy our tickets for the party while we are in Disney a couple of days before the party for a number of different reasons. The question I have is since the party is at the end of our trip and we will be there already, can I just purchase the tickets using my magic band? I know the tickets will go on the band, but can we use the band to purchase the tickets while at guest relations?

Quick question-do you know if is the refillable popcorn bucket just for the day or the trip? I saw different answers posted different places.

It used to be by the day. But now it's trip. I'm guessing they were unable to enforce the one "day" rule without changing bucket style daily

Note to self; bring bucket daily to the parks.

How would you manage watching the entertainment? I am thinking of watching the fireworks, get a spot for the 2nd parade, and see the final stage show at 11:59 p.m? The other option I am thinking of is seeing the first parade, the fireworks, and see the 11:59 p.m. stage show. I want to view the parade from Main Street if possible. Do both parades start from Frontierland? I just don't know what's the better option of getting other things done like getting treats, getting pictures, and riding a couple rides.

We will be too. Been packing all day since we leave tomorrow. We're driving from northwestern Illinois. I even convinced my in laws to dress up with us. I made m&m tshirts for us to wear. With 6 of us, we have all the colors.

Me and the GF are going as classic Mickey & Minnie. It's her first MNSSHP!

No, I bought the bag online as well. The bags given out at the party are much smaller and thinner. The party ones are nice, the one you bought is nicer.

It's always suggested to see the second parade as it will be less crowded. I do believe they both start from Frontierland but hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong!

Yes, for start. See Post 1.

You'll want to be finding a spot for the first parade around 7:30. Since the parade stars in Frontierland, you'll be done long before 9. Also, I'd recommend doing HM during party hours, they kick it up a notch

We purchased our tickets for the MVMCP last year at the hotel and put it on our bands, I assume it would be the same for MNSSHP.

I think it was meant to only be for the day, however lots of reports that they've been able to use for the length of stay. We returned a couple weeks ago...3 in our party got the refillable popcorn buckets and we all refilled them multiple times throughout our week stay with no questions from the popcorn stands.

The signs now say "Length of Stay"

 

[tizzant]

Does that length of stay count for special tubs like Zero, though?
