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

[siskaren]

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!

They're PhotoPass pictures that have things added to them after they're taken - usually an animated character like Stitch or Tinkerbell, but for MNSSHP they also have one with the hitchhiking ghosts, among others. Post #1 has a list of what ones were available last year.

To reserve your table during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, please call (407) 939-3463 or (407) WDW-DINE.
Please note: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets are required to book a dinner reservation.

Thank you. I bought my party tickets and they show on my account. I called the DINE number. The CM couldn't find availability for any of the three restaurants open on party nights for any party night. She tried a few. Nuthin. She was confused and suggested I ask the concierge service for help because we are staying club level. She didn't think it was an "all the adrs are taken" situation. I'm going to email tomorrow and see what I learn.

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

Sorry I am going Oct 14

Still no sign of the Dessert Party during MNSSHP. I only have experience from last year when it was bookable the same day that the MNSSHP tickets went on sale, does anybody have any experience from previous years? Just wondering if this is the norm or if the delay could mean some changes are coming.

I remember the MVMCP Holiday Wishes Dessert Party became bookable on June 15th last year, more than a whole month after the party tickets were already on sale. Maybe Halloween is following that this year? The website still shows it is happening.



I just want it booked already! The "near future" doesn't seem soon enough!!

Where is the parade viewing?
Is it benches or a roped off area?
Can you sit in the grassy area to watch the fireworks or is it under tomorrowland terrace?

 

[dolewhipdreams]

How is your costume going?

It's going really well! The skirt turned out great but I'm having to do some editing on the look as a whole since we're going to the 9/1 party and I imagine it will be HOT. The last pieces I need are the top, some argyle socks and maybe some suspenders (though I'm concerned about the logistics of wearing suspenders with a skirt haha)

The viewing for the parade is at the traditional "reserved parade area" (old FP+, Tony package, etc) by the flagpole on Main Street. This is just a roped off area where you stand, and there is a spot for wheelchairs and ECVs.

Last year, the fireworks were from the Tomorrowland Terrace where you sat at tables with the desserts. The grassy area was not reserved for dessert party guests so anyone could have been there.

This is JUST SPECULATION, but I wonder if Disney is thinking about making a Plaza Garden viewing area dessert party in addition to the Tomorrowland Terrace one like normal fireworks and that's why it's taking longer to release?!

 

[rstamm]

Thanks
I love the grassy area view

Same, it's a great spot!

This is one of the magic shots you can get at the party a cauldron with the magic apple.

I LOVE this picture! Disney should use it in their ad!!!

Forgive the total noob question, but can someone point me towards a set of guidelines for what is an acceptable costume for an adult? And I don't mean in terms of no gore, no blood, must not be a "sexy" police officer or the like. I'm a costumer, and I value meticulous construction and "accuracy". I'd love to do a short-haired Rapunzel costume (with wig, in my case) or a Jedi Knight, but I'd be afraid of getting turned away for violating the rules regarding Disney IP. I have a fun back-up idea that involves a light-up skirt, and I can't find anything specifically forbidding lights but I also can't find anything allowing lights on clothing.

I'm aware of those rules, but I'm not finding them clear enough. Has anyone on the boards ever done a near recreation of a princess costume with a wig and everything? I'm just afraid that I would somehow be considered a "detraction from the experience of other Guests" and refused entry.

That is fine as long as you don't pose for photos or sign autographs.

• All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.

In addition to this since you mentioned Rapunzel:

Yes there have been several who cosplay Disney characters to the degree they often are mistaken as the actual characters. Your interpretation are wide open here so have fun creating and crafting! What you understand regarding the "detraction from the experience of other Guests" is correct; daisy dukes to horrifying - those will be refused entry.

EDIT: Lightup clothing IS acceptable.. Does anyone remember the light-up Castle skirt worn last year? Really cute I she purchased it at Amazon.
