"Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

[FoxC63]

I am worried because last years 9/25 date was the CM, military and media (I think) discounted party. Please correct me if im wrong. But my thinking was if the dates were similar then that could fall on the 9/24 party this year. And then it would likely be very crowded and possibly sell out. I believe I read where the 9/25 party sold out last year. Just my thinking and I really hope I am wrong!

Your information is correct however 9/25 sold out on 9/25. Another reason it sold out could have been the rain on prior parties and guests were given 9/25 as a possible ticket replacement.

EDIT: It also rained lightly on that day too.

The party has more to offer than any given day at MK. What are your dates? Sorry if you posted prior but there are more people here now and it's getting confusing.

My dates are 10/9-10/13 and we have a 5 day park hopper pass with deluxe dining plan staying the AKL club level. So paying the extra $100 is not a concern since I have the park hopper ticket. Thanks for helping.

Most people break the park in half; one day they do Fantasyland/Tomarrowland/Liberty the second day they do Adventureland/Frontierland this strategy helps to alleviate running back & forth just for the rides. If you were to break this down on your party night along with your M&G's you should get a lot of things done.

I love this idea! I hadn't thought of doing this for our two parties but it's definitely in the plans now! Thanks!!

This photo was taken at 5pm on 9/25/2016 for Jack & Sally.

The ground was wet so the Headless Horseman did not come out for the First Boo parade but did during the second.

Oh I'll def be there in my poncho if it's raining!!! Lol

I see several guests wearing Disney Ponchos perhaps they were bought on site, are these the ones Disney will replace for free if it tears or is there another Disney poncho that they do this for?

Just asking. We don't do ponchos we opt for the North Face Resolve jacket & pants. I read on last years thread that the rain was crazy wicked at times.

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by this considering MNSSHP is a separate ticket and has nothing to do with PH.

They replaced them for our family on four different occasions last August. It's a nice perk if they still offer it.

Earlier poster mentioned it would not be worth it to MK the day of the party because it would be an extra $100. But I have a park hopper ticket that is already paid for so I would not be wasting $100. Does it make better sense now? I may be mixing it all up. I am new to this. This is my first extended trip to Disney staying in a Disney resort with a meal plan, etc. No I could easily be confused. All other previous trips to Disney wear weekend trips staying offsite, no dining plan on a tight budget. This is the first "luxury" Disney trip for us and this site has opened up many other possibilities for us. I am so confused. I just basically need to know if it is worth it to do MK on the same day as a party day? I see many people are opting not to go to the park until after 4pm. I also see that Pop and Poly are popular places to stay, why? Thanks again for all of the help.

No you're not confused, I think they were talking about purchasing a Magic Your Way park Ticket plus buying a MNSSHP ticket.

Is worth it to do MK on the same day as a party day?
YES, it is totally worth it. You can get a lot done like visit characters, shows and rides. Not all characters wear Halloween costumes during the party, so those are great to see during the day. Certain rides are crazy busy and have long waits early during the party but your mornings are best to enjoy them and some shows aren't available during the party so watching them during the day is another plus.

I also see that Pop and Poly are popular places to stay, why? Pop Century is a Value Resort and Polynesian Village Resort is a Deluxe which also has Villas & Bungalows. Both were part of the Free Dining Promotion.

Is it these ones with Mickey printed on them? Oh and where did you get yours? THANK YOU!

Yes, they sell them at all of the gift shops on property. If you don't see them just ask, they keep a box behind the register for when it starts raining.

How many of you are going to multiple parties?

I was surprised to find that 5 parties are being held during my trip dates 8/25 - 9/9.

I am planning on the 9/7 party for sure. I am thinking of going on our arrival day as well, 8/25.

Hello fellow Texans fan

I cash out for walmart or sam's club and buy the discounted 3 packs at sam's club.

Y'all are so smart do I need a membership for sam's, or is a GC enough to get in? Thanks!

No line, but looks like people were waiting for the new Muppets show to start. It plays out in the windows on the second story of those buildings. It's cute.

Sams is like BJs and Costco - you need a membership to buy anything

We like doing Magic Kingdom on party days because the crowds seem to be lighter than during non-party days in the fall. I would just suggest depending on the ages/energy level of the people in your group you may want a break in the afternoon before the party because of the later hours. How we spend the day of the party depends on the length of our trip and how many MK days we plan overall, so we've had times where we just stay at MK all day and days when we've done a different park in the morning and then the party in the afternoon.

It looks to me like it's the line to meet Jack and Sally by the gazebo in Liberty Square...that is where they met guests last year

Hi all, this thread has been extremely valuable so far. DGF and I are planning on going to the 10/20 party on the day we arrive. It'll be our first party so we are both looking forward to it!
