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

[jhoannam]

That was nice! It amazes me how people have such wildly different experiences with "recovery" efforts from Guest Relations, though. At one party, people stopping in at GR are more or less told "Sorry about your luck," and at another party, people are simply stopped while walking and handed tickets to another party. Maybe Tuesday's party hasn't sold well, so they're able to be more generous?

I wonder if that's the main reason.

We are planning to go October 13th but haven't purchased our tickets yet. I was going to wait but am now wondering if I should go ahead and buy them. I wanted to check the weather first but with fall breaks starting it worries me they will sell out. I have my nieces going with me to the party for the first time and I have them all excited about it. What to do? What to do?

Well it's 3 weeks away. If you plan to go any way & they are expecting to go, purchase the tickets. If it rains, what would they be understanding? Or still want to go?

We were at the party last night where it rained. Went by guest services this morning and were given tickets for Oct. 2 party. We were lucky people on the bus back to the hotel told us they were giving out alternate rain dates.

We had a great time early on. DH's Tick Tock costume, dds porcupine and my Cheshire cat were big hits. At one of the candy stations the cast members have us 4 huge handfuls of candy because they said our costumes deserved extra. Lol. I don't think I am wearing mine again Oct. 2. I will go with something easier I think. That could just be exhaustion talking though.

That was so sweet of you. It made my daughter so happy to hear your post. She does most of the editing. Yes we are. This time we are using two songs because we have so much footage. Her friends had a blast recording their parts.
Thanks again!

I just checked out all of your previous videos! What a fantastic Disney family you are! Thank you for sharing your fun videos. I look forward to seeing the latest version of you all in your Dwarves costumes!! What sweet Disney memories you have made and continue to make!

Our family of four will attend the party on Sunday 9/18. I'm going as Bob Iger (trying to get a laugh out of the cast members....maybe), I assume the powers that be will not have a problem with these name tags.

We saw y'all multiple times, those costumes were awesome!

We got lucky too, went to guest services at MK this morning and got extra tickets for Tues Party. At first they were apprehensive and went to talk to someone but got them. We're excited because we missed alot of the night activities because of the weather so gives us a chance to see it before we leave Wed. CM have been phenomenal overall on our trip

Just got home last night. We were at the party on tuesday that got rained out. We got a few things done but not alot. We did manage to see the fireworks but didnt stick around to see if the second parade would start or not. Everyone in our party was tired, wet and a bit annoyed. This is our second time going to the halloween party (went in 2012 I think) and that party got a ton of rain too. We have decided from now on, if we ever decide to do a paid even party, we will buy tickets day of. Just not worth it with the risk of rain. Maybe we are just unlucky but I am a little jaded now.




We didnt get any notification from any CM they were doing any comp tickets or refunds or anything that night. We started hearing rumblings from people a couple days after the party. My mom ended up going to guest services and they told them about the automatic expiring tickets. After explaining we live over 20 hours away she finally got them to give her a code that can be redeemed at guest services when she returned and was told the code would never expire. I ended up going to guest services a day later and was able to get a code for myself. I believe the code is for a 1 day park hopper and can only be used by the individuals that were at the party. Does anyone know if these tickets can be upgraded? the women at guest services said she didnt think so but didnt seem to sure. I plan to keep the code and just use it in the future if we ever do a cruise or a universal trip. Give us a good reason to hit disney for a day. But would be nice if I knew for sure if the tickets could be upgraded before we show up.

Oh also. My brother did not get the code as they didnt want to complain. Their event tickets are not showing up in MDE. Originally the guest service lady said nothing would show in MDE and to just show up and the tickets would be there for a year. I wasn't fond of that idea and didnt think we would be back within a year. Thats when I pushed the issue for non expiring code

The tickets can not be upgraded. They will have complementary printed on them once you get them and therefore have a $0 value to Disney's system and do not count towards day 1 of any additional tickets.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this post. We all lead hectic, busy lives but make it a point to leave it all behind in Disney. We are so blessed that our "adult" children want to spend their time with us and we all love being kids in Disney. We are editing our newest video now and it should be done within a month. Again thank you so much for watching our videos - we love making them - and we are glad when people enjoy them.

Thank you again - it was so sweet of you!

Me and my husband on the 25th, can't wait!!!

See you there!

I'm really hoping you and you family a great time at the party on Tuesday. Thank you for writing your report, the information is so helpful.

FYI - check the forecast

So we were at the party last night and caught the first parade in Frontierland, across from the Country Bears store. Shout out to these boards for the tips! Front row, sat down, waited about 15 for the Headless horseman. Parade was phenomenal and not long enough!! Loved the gravedigger guys with those shovels, making sparks on the pavement! We slowly followed the parade, went to Main St and got 3 PhotoPass shots with no wait. Slowly meandered down an empty Main St at 930...

We only trick or treated in Frontierland and Adventureland right at 7...got into Jungle Cruise standby at last minute, it was unplanned but soooo fun. My kids are into puns! It was perfect! Hit the Magic Carpet ride right before 7, no wait. My scaredy cat kids are suddenly adventurous!!

All the CMs we encountered were nice, happy and you can tell they love working here. Candy was generous, brand name and delicious. Everyone we sat with or came across was friendly. We also got lots of pressed pennies. Did no characters.

We had just arrived and checked into the Poly only 2 hrs prior to the party, so we were tired and on each other's nerves. Not to mention HOT. The ground was hot to sit on at 815pm. Spilled M-n-M's literally melted on the pavement and also somehow on my daughters leg. We sat on our shoes so as not to burn our bums. My shins were actually sweating, glistening like an upper lip. That was a new one for me, especially in shorts.

So we left around 945...lightening rolling in plus the sheer exhaustion of the day...danced our way out to the fun dance music. Grabbed another photo op outside. Headed home on the monorail and saw not only the Electrical Parade but the show Mother Nature was starting to put on. We completely avoided the rain. But it was quite a storm that night!

My take aways: Main St was empty after first parade passed. Awesome phot ops. Parade was awesome, love the music, could have watched it forever so I wish it was longer. Hotness. Like a hot stifling wet blanket wrapped around you. Castle beautiful. Gotta get my mom to do it one year. I'll bring ice packs next time.

For the special headless horseman picture, where do we exactly go on Main Street? Also is this only after 7 pm?

 

[Belleandtinker]

Where exactly in Storybook Circus to we find the Seven Dwarfs? Near the Barnstormer - I'm guessing Goofy will be there.

I saw you! We were heading out of MK around 5:30pm and walked by you - I remembered seeing your post here, and wondered if that was the party you were doing or if someone else had the same idea. Your costume looked great, hope you had a good time!

This is awesome!! Very well done! And the 100's in your pocket are a nice touch! lol. Where did you get the nametags?

Thanks, I found the authentic name tag (Shanghai) on EBay a couple of months ago and knew what my costume would be in an instant . A little name alteration and I was set. The BI nametag I had made via Etsy, apparently money can get you anything.

We had lunch at the Plaza Restaurant today and our server was a very nice gentleman from ..... wait for it, Shanghai! I didn't have the nerve to ask him if he knew Mr. Iger.

Can't wait for the party tomorrow night. I'm having a great trip so far. I can hear the Illuminations music from my room even. I was at Epcot today until mid-afternoon and then Disney Springs until the thunderstorm came.

I'm just hoping for better weather tomorrow night. We'll see I guess. I'll try to post a pic in my costume.

 

[nalia]

We will be attending the party on Oct. 13th. We have only traveled to wdw in February or early March. Can anyone tell me what to expect for weather? Super hot and humid?

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

I'm looking forward to the party tomorrow!!! I'm a bit nervous though because the forecast isn't looking cooperative. I know how much things can change in Florida though!
