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

[bear_mom]

Us too! We are driving down (10-12 hours!) for a quick weekend trip just for the party on the 6th! We will only be there 6-9. Ugh

Us too, same dates and just going to the party. Will make try to make the best of our trip. Praying for no rain on party night though.

I'm hoping that the rain scares everyone away from the Oct 2nd party and we can finally be at a party that isn't sold out and packed with people.

My MBs are in GA. Getting closer! Yippee!

Just saw post from a moderator saying that there's no trick or treating at Disney Springs and resort activities are for registered resort guests only. FYI.

I managed to rearrange Kona Café for another evening and got a bit of an earlier meal at Liberty Tree Tavern at 3ish). At least that way I won't have to leave the park.

Will you please post the link to the thread & Post #?

That hasn't been what was reported in the past. Numerous posts about resort activities in the past & non-resort guests attending, but usually just resort guests know about these activities, people on the Dis, or those that follow certain bloggers that are on the Dis. However, this has been a year of changes at Disney. With that being said, except for pool hopping, I'm not familiar with Disney restricting guests to enjoying "free" activities/events at resorts. Lots of people go to the free stuff at the GF. Also, unless there are other changes this year, Halloween activities have typically been at Value, Moderate & Deluxe Resorts, so onsite guests wouldn't have a problem.

Now I know that in the past people have been able to go and enjoy resorts activities without staying there and I'm not really sure how they would enforce this, but just giving you a heads up

Never mind. Found it, not a MOD. And she later answered my questions, someone else had the same question...

Hi, it says "for guests of the resort" on the HUB. I have gone to many activities at Disney resorts without staying there and never had a problem, but like you said, they have been changing things. I actually ask before playing the pool games (I don't go in the pool) or the various activities and AKL and they always have said that it's for everyone.

Trick or treating at DS, then DTD, was taken away years ago, along with 4th of July and NYE fireworks

Yes, I didn't comment on Trick-or-Treating, since that hasn't been around for awhile.

Hey! Checked the main Forum, TP&A & saw that it was you! Was just about to reply to you! Many changes this year. Thanks for the info. I've added it to Post 2. I'd like to see how it's enforced.

In line for Jack & Sally now... line is getting close to the bridge now. Hoping for no more than an hour wait from where we are. Will report back.

 

[DisneyLove2015]

Here now and it doesn't seem overly packed... However the line for Jack and Sally was insane when we got out of the line from seeing them at 5:05 (yay for one of the first people to meet them!!)

FYI- they started letting people into the parks around 3:40-3:45

where you in the park already at 4?Where did you get your wristbands at? Right at 4? I'm trying to figure out our plans.

No we only have party tickets today. They let us in around 3:40-3:45. They had the bands ready to go at the entrance. While walking around I've seen a station in Fantasyland for wrist bands, too.

 

[burberryplaid]

It took us 45 minutes to get to J & S but we'll worth it...great interaction. We got in line at about 4:20...got into MK at exactly 4. I agree with DsneyLove2015 that it does not seem overly crowded. The only other character meet I really want to do is Pooh & Friends meet. I wouldn't mind Donald & Daisy either.

I can't find this info, probably since the show starts on 10/2 but is it safe to assume the new muppet show thing will NOT happen during the party and if we want to see it we should try before 7?

The last show is at 4:40pm. It will not run during the parties

So you were able to enter even before the unofficial entry time of 4? Wonder how early this will go?

 

[DisneyLove2015]

Not sure if this party is way under sold but as we were walking up Main Street at 8:15 to go to the dessert party parade viewing spot and there were a few spots near the hat shop that were available. The front rows were mostly gone but there was room for a second or third row in some spots. Not overly crowded.
