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

[DisneyToni]

Quick questions about costumes. I see in the official rules that mask are not allowed for guests 13+. In Googling, I see that guests have used masks for Incredible costumes at the Halloween party. Where the rules changed recently?

Is there any restrictions with face makeup for 13+? I am wondering about doing a Batman costume and creating a "mask" made of makeup on the face. Would that be okay?

Are you still going to attend the First party?

We are waffling. We have plane tickets, the hotel, and dining set up. But if the party sells out before August we'll cancel and go later in Sept. I did a sold out party in Sept 2014 and it was rough. 45 minute wait for Peter Pan, magic shots that looked terrible because of crowds behind us. Hoping to avoid doing that again.

So! Fingers-crossed that all the predictions are right and August 25 avoids the first night curse! I'm happy to report back with all sorts of details though.

We tend to like to watch parades in Frontierland instead of fighting for a spot on Main Street. Is this a good option for the Halloween party as well? This will be our first time! Does the Headless Horseman ride along the entire route? Will I miss anything by being in Frontierland? And can I then move over to Main Street for the fireworks? Not sure about the timing there!

Is it safe to assume the MNSSHP dessert party hasn't been announced yet?

It hasn't been announced. Hopefully, it will be on DPB or other bloggers will send email. If not, I've been checking daily & will update Post #1 with details. Disney website still says ---For more information, please check back in the near future.

Lots of info on Post #1 regarding WDW Costume Guidelines. You can use face paint or carry the mask and only put it on prior to photos.
Ooh! Batman!!! We'll be there on Sunday, Oct 29th and Tuesday, Oct 31! DH - Two-Face, DS - Joker and I'll be Harley Quinn, what are your dates?

You'll miss Creepa Crew - they are only on Main Street

It's a good view for Halloween party too. We watched from there last year too (October 30th), attended 2 parties. Not really, there are some things that occur only on Main St. -- see Post #1 2016 Thread (i.e. Dance Crew, etc.). There's plenty of time b/t 1st parade and fireworks.

We put on our Incredibles masks just for photos.

We are going Friday, August 25th. And ooh, you are making me re-think this again. DD has a Harley Quinn costume that we spent a lot of money putting together for Halloween last year, I should make her wear that.

I was toying with DD - Batman, youngest DD - Robin, middle DD - Harley Quinn and Me - Joker. Then I swung to having them all do superheroes including me, because DD might push back on doing Harley Quinn again, plus I think the pictures would look more in sync with all as superheroes. Never mind, this is a big surprise, so I have to do all the decision making and hope this goes over well with what I pick.

Good to know-I'm considering the pj masks for our costumes (t shirts and shorts with short capesbut if my husband and I couldn't wear the eye masks for pictures I thought it might look silly)

Be silly it's Halloween no body cares nor are they there to judge you! You do what makes you happy!

I watched the DPB live stream of HEA and loved it! And I am a die hard Wishes fan! I cried last month when I watched for the last time. But I also cried during HEA. I couldn't wait for in person when I'm not back until November! I'm far too impatient. But now I am even more excited about seeing it in person! It was very well done!

Disney fixed the dates on the Travel Agents Calendars. Originally they had 2/10/2016 or 3/17/2016 on the bottom left corner.
Aug. and Sept. now have 5/12/2017 but Oct is 5/12/2016 Has anyone noticed any park hour updates for Aug. or Sept.?

I'm wondering if they will rename Hallowishes since there won't be the Wishes anymore.

It's safe to say that one of the top reasons I go to three party is to see the Happy Hallowishes fireworks. I'm actually worried about it changing nite that Wishes had gone. Had anyone heard anything about changes to the fireworks?

According to posts from the Disney Parks Blog that are linked in this thread, it's still going to be HalloWishes at MNSSHP and Holiday Wishes at MVMCP:

Yeah, I imagine planning, making and testing 3 brand new fireworks shows pretty much all at once for one theme park is a bit much even for Disney.

Question about costumes, I'm assuming fake blood is a big no no as well? This is part of the reason we chose ghosts instead of zombies for our costume idea.

I'm glad hallowishes won't be changing this year since this will be our first party and we haven't seen it yet!

I have only watched Wishes once so I had no connection to it (I thought the voice singing was a bit too high) and thought the new one was amazing. They have updated to something that relevant for the new generation of kids. I do understand people being sad about missing characters. If they eventually do the same treatment to the party fireworks they will look amazing.

I am really disappointed there's no BTMRR and 7DMT. Had I known that I probably wouldn't have bought tickets.

What is Creepa Crew?
