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

[FoxC63]

to the party newbies! Glad you found this thread!

I created a Planning thread to help those attending the early parties in August & September. Most likely you'll be at WDW when the party map and other vital information are released so planning is key. There are also PDF's I created for Character's and Trick or Treating feel free to print a copy!

I must be in the minority here... but I am not buying our tickets until we are there or a few days before.... My reasoning is we have 3 possible party dates, none of which are likely to sell out... Sept 7, 10 or 12. I want to see the forecast! I would hate to pick a date now, have horrible weather that day and great weather the other party days that I COULD have picked if I had just waited til closer to time. Is there a reason no one else seems to be doing this?

We will be there for the 10th and 12th as well and I am tempted to wait like you are but I want the option of having the FP at 60 days since the party will be our only trip to mk this time.

Thanks KoN!

OK, let me see if I have this straight - I can get a CM discount by asking a CM to purchase tickets for me on a particular party date. The CM can purchase the tickets through an online hub that is only available to them. These tickets can only be available to a CM if they are not working on that date and want to attend the party.
Now, if I have the info straight - Can this be done over the phone at any time beforehand or should I wait until we arrive to ask around? Also, has anyone else done this? Would you mind sharing your experiences?

I am always learning...

Were you seriously considering asking a CM at WDW to do this for you? I would only consider this is if I personally knew a CM that could do it for me.

Does anyone know if Disney will post information on specific details about the MNSSHP, examples would be: candy, desserts, characters, collector card, special magic shots, etc?? I was not sure if they will blog about this or if we will need to wait until the parties start and read about it here.

Special Magic shots!?

As long as your confirmation number appears on your MDE account your perfectly fine. If you purchased your party tickets with a credit card or gift card bring it with you just in case.

Both MNSSHP and MVMCP are referred to "Hard Ticket" events, those who "Print at Home" receive a printed Voucher and those who use "Will Call" or "Ship to Home" will receive a plastic party ticket. For those who have the Voucher you can exchange them for a plastic party ticket.

Disney Will Call Ticket orders are available at the following locations with valid photo ID:
- any Guest Relations in Walt Disney World Resort including Disney Springs
- any Disney Theme Park or Water Park Ticket Booth
- any Disney Resort hotel Lobby Concierge

That's great!

Some of that info will start trickling out as we get closer, but the best and most specific details will come from those attending the first party.

I really have no idea how this works - saw the discount listed on the thread and asked for information... your snarky response wasn't necessary, but thanks DisDreaming4116!

You're planning on asking a stranger for their discount but consider that response "snarky".

My goodness, she asked a question as a newbie which she didn't know the answer to and it now still getting sarcastic comments made back at her even though she's admitted her mistake.
To some it may have seemed an obvious answer but it isn't to others especially if they haven't heard about the cm discounts before.
Geez, leave the woman alone - she now knows that you can't just ask a cm for their discount so end of.

Is there a "whose going when" thread?

There is a link to it in the first post.

Maybe you're right, maybe an honest question. You must be a nicer person than me. I read it and, still do, as someone knowingly asking to use someone's employee discount. To paraphrase Elsa, I'm going to let it go.

Hello, Several weeks ago when I was at my 180 day mark for ADRs I noticed that whenever I was searching a MK restaurant it would not let me chose a time after 6pm on party nights. I assumed all the table service restaurants would be closed during the party. I just noticed on the Disney site and in the first post here that three of the table service restaurants are going to be open during the party. So I went back to the Disney Dining page and searched (for BOG specifically) It STILL won't let me search past 6:00pm on party nights! Will they open up at a later date? Is it walk in only? Thank you in advance for your help!

I think it's just going off a personal experience that I had where looking back now, I probably sounded like I was asking for a cm favour so to speak in a similar manner.

I'd heard a few years ago (I now know the correct answer) that if you went into the ye old Christmas shop, cm's would sprinkle pixie dust on select guests throughout the day, each day and give them a free ornament. I was told that it was random but obviously the nicer you are to a cm, the more likely you'll be given a free decoration. It was only when i thought it didn't sound right that i actually found out that it is the first person who "opens" the shop each day (more than likely a child) will have their name written on a plaque to say they opened it and select a free decoration.

Some people reading my question probably thought I was super rude and expecting free things but it was an honest mistake and now I've learnt.

P.s I now blame you for getting that song into my head while I've been writing this haha

Your post never came across that way to me.
