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

[FeralCatRogue]

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!

They dont allow you to book fastpass/dining after 6pm on a party night now. Last year they stopped this at 6:30 seems they are stopping earlier this year.

I saw there is a guest thread, but is there a costume planning thread (for ideas or help).

You're at the perfect place! This thread is ALL things relevant to Halloween!!! So what's your plan?

There are 4 of us in the family and since we are the Jones family we are all going as Indiana Jones. Most of the costumes are long sleeved or have leather jackets and pants, in October in Orlando that seems like a death sentence. I was actually thinking of dressing up as Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark, I'm worried nobody will know who that is.

My husband dressed as Archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones but did not wear the leather jacket - no way hosay! Karen Allen's portrayal of Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark was awesome! I really don't think people are not going to know who you are. Don't the sleeves have tabs on them for you to roll up? I'm thinking seersucker or linen would be great fabric choices.

Thank you so much

For Indy, all you should need is a similar shirt, a fedora, and a whip! (Can you bring a prop whip, I wonder?)

If you are Marion and you are with a few Indys, people will definitely know who you are. Those sound like great costumes, and ones I haven't seen at MNSSHP!

Awesome thank you and I don't know about the whip? Might be something to avoid just in case.

Nope that's part of Indy's hand! My husband wore one a few years back and last year someone posted a picture of their Indy full blown costume and had no issues. This is doable.

Y'all I'm using this three day weekend to bust out my costume and it's actually turning out! Nothing like prepping for Halloween over Memorial Day....

I've just had a couple of days off and a bunch of cancelled plans. I decided to crack on with the costume making, nothing to show just yet but I am making a start on the pouches on the belt that Judy wears.

I did spend a couple of days working on my trip planner, finding and printing out pictures but after trying glue and a mixed media paste type thing to keep them stuck down it bled the ink onto the paper and didn't stick down. Now its just a mess wouldn't been so bad had I not spent so much time on it. (I'll post a pic when I get on my laptop later).

On the September thread Daniela Pose mentioned that booking for the Tiana's ice cream social thing is open. Looks kind of fun but not sure I can do another add on or fit it into my MK/MNSSHP days.

How is your costume going?

Thought I would ask but since I have never been to a MNSSHP would going twice seem a but extreme? I see all the activities listed and looks like it would be better spread out over two nights then one. Any advice welcomed!

 

[FoxC63]

Several of us do two parties per year, there's so much to do and so little time to get it all done! I think others have it down to a science where one party they focus on meet & greets and Magic Shots the last party they focus on rides and party specific events; parade, shows and fireworks.

I would absolutely love to do the parties twice but I have so much stuff to see with SWGS, HEA, OUAT, and maybe a dessert party as it is. I don't even think I can fit in ROL this coming trip. If you can afford it and have time for it, then go for it!

 

[captaindavidhook]

Yay!!! I just booked and I am finally going to be in Disney during Halloween time!!! Hopefully I can maybe meet up with a few of you!!! Third solo trip for me...

I wear a long sleeved dress as mine and have only had issues hte year it was over 100. I've also worn a costume that involved a cloak gloves and scarf in the same type of weather. A trick is to look for lighter material for the long sleeves/pants. But for the most part when its late at night it usually is chillier and not as bad.

When are you going?

I will be going from the Sept 24th to October 1st.

If you don't mind me asking, What are Magic Shots? Although there is "almost" no alcohol at MK, except for beer and wine at some of the restaurants, it sounds like a drinking term. Yeah, we're doing Magic Shots at MK!
