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

I was thinking about costumes, What about Hats? like a princess crown or bunny ears?? Would that be a costume? Not sure what kind of shirt to wear with it.

I'm probably wearing fox ears and a fox tail. I'm a "fox". I'll either wear a black top/skirt or shorts, or possibly go with an Honest John look - a variation of green shorts/skirt with a lighter green top.

That's our arrival too. We are at AKL from 10th-18th. Looking at Tuesday for the party. I will be up with you on march 14th for ADRs

Hooked up MyDisneyExperience last night - they showed 191 days out.....so I guess 22nd will be our reservation day.....I was a week off .... but that's ok because I really want to know the party dates first. We'll do ROL on one of the non-party nights I know.

People there are in all types of outfits full on costumes, no costumes, disbounding. No matter what you choose youwon't be without others dressing to that daegree as well.

SO excited to see this!
We went last year and was so much fun!
Planning to go on Friday Oct 13th (spoooky...)

I have a Sally costume dress I will probably wear.
I think our only M&G priority this year will be Jack and Sally since we didn't meet them last year.

I have made ADRs for dining and will cancel if needed for the party.

Thanks AngelDisney

Just a quick question, what time were you planning on making ADR's for the party?

Hi FoxC63, not ADRs on the day of the party, but for the days around. If I anticipate the party one one day, but then it ends up being on the other day I'd have to switch the ADR away from the party day.

Hi Everyone! Newbie to MNSSHP. I've done MVMCP before though. My question is on timing. As it looks like we won't know dates before I have to make ADR on the 16th, I'm curious when I should project the party during my trip to be. We're at BCV September 12-17. OP said the usual days in September during the week are Tuesday and Thursday. However when I looked back on last year's dates, it looked like the time of the month I'm going would more likely be Tuesday and Friday. Should I plan for it to be the Friday (15th) or should I plan for it on the Thursday (14th). I would need to rearrange my current plans if it were on the Thursday. Maybe even make two dining reservations and cancel the one I don't need? Any insight would be great! Thanks!

Nights that show MK closing at 7 will be a good indication of what party nights will be.

Soooo, was shopping today for summer clothing (SALE!!!) and bought this top and shorts, totally doable for a nod to Honest John. (with my ears, tails and gloves!) Light green top, dark green shorts. My gloves are in my avatar. Of course I'll probably buy a bunch of stuff before October.

Hi guys! I am currently trying to decide between a week during Christmas season and MVMCP, or end of October and MNSSHP. Crowds are a big factor for us as we will only have 1 MK day this trip.

I have heard the old advice that party days will always have lower crowds in MK all day. Would that still hold true on Halloween day or is that an exception because of the holiday? We want to pull a MK day and party,I can deal with a more crowded party if we can enjoy reasonable daytime crowds while we're focused on rides. Assuming parties will be on 30th and 31st this year, would one day be better than the other? The 30th concerns me since it falls on a Monday. Thanks for any insight!

It's not a holiday that people have off from work or school, so I wouldn't expect it to have an effect on crowd levels.

Thanks Cluelyss. I believe the calendar for my first day will be available today. I'll check it out.

Thank you!! This is such a tough choice!

 

[FoxC63]

Thank you!! This is such a tough choice!

I highly recommend you keep on top of the Disney Calendar they have been known to add EMH which will impact your plans. They did this last year two weeks before our trip Oct 27 -Nov 1. I believe they added EMH on 10/31/16. I cannot say how much of an impact this had we canceled our trip. Can anyone comment/confirm?

According to Kenny the Pirate, the parties will be Tuesday and Friday that week.

How do they usually do Columbus Day week? A party Sun, Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri?

 

[HollyMD]

We had tickets for 2 parties last year and unfortunately, they were the 2 parties they didn't have due to the hurricane so we are hoping to make a VERY short trip this Oct on fall break just to do 2 parties. We have never been and were disappointed we missed out last year

Since the MNSSHP dates have not been released I thought this might help you, it's Disney's SEPTEMBER 2017 Park Calendar the one they send to Travel Agents. On MNSSHP nights the Magic Kingdom closes at 7pm. Here's the link:

Thumbs up @Robo for making it available on the DIS!

EDIT: Remember this is NOT set in stone so plan accordingly and be prepared to make adjustments.

When is your break and where are you from? If you want to PM me feel free, I've been trying to keep a record of Fall School Breaks for 2017. Thank You!
