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

[cuteandfluffy626]

My tickets are STILL not showing up on MDE, and I bought them right when they released. I have an email confirmation and my card was charged. Anyone else still not showing up?

They are showing up on the App but not on the website yet. Disney IT knows of the issues and are fixing them, it will just take a couple days.

Mine are not showing up in MDE, yet either.

Random fact, but Disney sent out notification to TAs that they can receive commission on select party dates. It's been years since they offered it, but for those debating whether to purchase from their TA I'm sure they'd appreciate it since they can now get commission. It's unfortunate they notified them after the fact, but it will be nice for those still needing to purchase tickets.

Thank you for this! Though I have never used a TA I was quoting what others stated regardless this is very helpful should I use one in the future.

You have been VERY helpful on this thread and we're very lucky and grateful to your contribution PLEASE keep up the great work!

Apologize if this has been posted already, may have missed it. Crowd projections for 2017

Thank you for posting this! I also want to add this as a reminder:

This. I've done sold out parties and non sold out parties. While the wait times for rides were short at both, the special events (characters, parades, fireworks) are crowded at both, as those are the main draws. The difference is that a sold out party will be PACKED on main street / the hub, while a non sold out party has marginal breathing room. Though with a good plan, you'll be fine whatever party you choose to do. There are still a limited number of tickets sold, and less people than on a regular park day. Have fun!!

Really? Glad I saw this!

EXACTY!

If this helps anyone with the Return to Sleepy Hollow event with the Headless Horseman (because I can't find any info on the Disney website, and I swear I remember seeing it not long after it was announced), the only info I can find is from other Disney related blogs and such that it runs Thursday thru Sundays in October...I called as soon as I was able to make reservations and when the CM asked what date I wanted I asked which days were available the week we were going and she said every day, or something similar..Monday the 23rd was available and I was not expecting that....So I booked Monday 10/23, regular admission...couple days later I was reading somewhere it was just Thursday through Sunday, so I questioned if I got the date right...called back with confirmation number, and yes, she confirmed Monday the 23rd...just wanted to report in case this info can help anyone, maybe it's available every night that week???..don't know if we will keep this or not, will wait to see how the reviews are...wouldn't want to freak out the kids too much!

I don't understand why Disney didn't have this listed on their site at all.

I can finally see my tickets on the iPhone app (with the wrong date), but still not on my laptop in any browser. I tried reassigning the tickets (see my self-created issues with them being on the wrong MDE many pages back) but it will only let me reassign one of the tickets. Oh well. I'm not worrying about it. Both accounts are connected, so i shouldn't have a problem with FPs. I hope.

Regarding the MNSSHP Tickets "glitch" a while ago I posted this:

Have you noticed at the bottom of the TA calendars for Sept. & Oct. they have "Last Edit Date: 3/17/16"? I'm sure the person in charge forgot to update the date or perhaps it's a software glitch.

I thought it was odd.

Has anyone else seen that Splash Mountain (closed for refurbishment anyway), Big Thunder, and 7 Dwarfs aren't showing as being available on party dates?
Sent a tweet to Disney about it, which they seem to confirm.

Oh no! I hope big thunder isn't closed this year.

Whaaaaaat? This changes things a little, but it's all good. In fact it's probably better. We're doing 7DMT another day and were hoping for a bonus ride party night, I knew Splash would be down, and oh well on Big Thunder.

Does anyone see where the info came from? I only see the random tweeter asking WDW Today about it.

There is a list on this page:

If you click "Read More" under "Attractions Open During the Event" you will see the list - 7 dwarfs, Big Thunder, and Splash Mountain are not listed.

I'm in Canada and when I purchased tickets for two of the Halloween parties I just did the "print at home" option because it said there was a $25 charge for international shipping. I had an issue online with purchasing for the 3rd party so phoned in. The CM asked if I wanted the tickets mailed and I said no because I didn't want to pay the fee to ship. He said oh no, they would send them free of charge. Just thought I'd share.

Oh, I wonder if that was a mistake, good for you though. I could always ask them, don't know they would cancel out the postage cost to the UK though.

Super cute dress but a little bit more than what we want to spend if possible. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hmm I think everything on Etsy was more expensive I saw these (if the link doesn't work search mermaid and look for leggings, it kept trying to put me back to the UK site)

Not sure if the sizes would be right for her/something she would wear - maybe too hot. But those and then a purple top to a Disney bound or green shorts/trousers/skirt and a purple top. There's quite a few variations on google images.

Hmm I wonder if that would affect the crowds on rides/doing other things instead like a M&G. I knew Splash would be down but to have two other big ones missing off the list...Is there normally a few big rides down for the party?

 

[IrishNYC]

Thanks, @dfurst05 and @davale4 !

You know what though? I was planning to FP 7DMT and Big Thunder, so I guess I'll still be good for those, because we'll be done with both before the official party start.

Me too. I called today and she said that there were "technical enhancements" in progress and allow a few more days... Translated: "it will show up eventually"

Thanks for letting us know. We don't normally do rides at the Halloween party, but having rides shut down for no particular reason is not good. There are people who do the parties specifically for lower wait times. That will just add more crowds to other attractions.

I thought the same thing...but still felt a little bit of a let down. My DD loves 7DMT.

Looks like you paid for EXPRESS shipping.

The shipping options for ticket delivery are shown here:

I just got notification that my tickets are arriving via....drumroll.....UPS! Disney really hit it out of the ballpark of misinformation on this ticket release.

I know...I was hoping to get a few unscheduled rides after dark. It's DH and DD's favorite MK ride.
