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

[VillainFavs]

If you don't get there until 4, I'd use the party entrance, because you'd need to stop somewhere later for your party wristbands, and the location to get them is not always convenient, whereas if you use the party line they give them to you right there.

But I've heard there can be a really long line to get in at that point. I was assuming there wouldn't be as many day guests going in at that hour and the lines would be smaller. Is that not the case?

Apologies if this has been answered upstream....186 pages is a lot to get thru I've noticed that dinner ressies on party days only go up until 6pm. Is there any pattern to when they release the dinner reservations that coincide with the party? We're hoping to get an early CRT for the night we are at the party but I figure once they release them they get snapped up quick. Thanks for any thoughts

My grandson says we should dress like Carl & Elizabeth (Ellie) Fredricksen from Disney's movie "UP"! My daughter-in-law was quick to mention we wouldn't have to change our appearance too much. I'll just take that with a grain of salt. They do make a lovely couple.

That would be AMAZING! I do love that movie!!

You're correct.

 

[Cluelyss]

What do you mean if the monorail is working? Does it break down often? Should we allow more time for travel in our plans?

Yes and yes!

Thank you! I'm just wondering which is the easier option. Party line at the entrance or regular ticket there and get my band inside the park somewhere.

I believe it was reported last year that Tortuga Tavern opened up a little earlier and another poster reported they had to wait in line at the same location. I believe they said there was no one there at 4pm. @ErinsMommy said it best "anything goes". It's a gamble.

YMMV, but we went to two parties last year and didn't have a long wait to get in for either. We got there around 4

I've not tried regular lines because they were far off from the lines near the buses. But the party lines don't let in til 4pm and I ahd no issues getting in and making a 4:20 CRT.

Hmm I'm not really sure the regular ticket line will be that much better. Yes, less guests, but also less CMs scanning people in. I entered MK on a MVMCP night around 4:30 last year and only two tapstiles on the left were being used for regular MK guests. The whole right was open for MVMCP.

Last year I entered around 5:30pm for MNSSHP and around 4pm for 2 different MVMCP and all times the line moved pretty quickly. When using the party entrance, you also get to walk the path that spits you out right by the Tomorrowland Terrace. For Halloween you can get your maps, some bags, and a pre-stocked treat bag with larger candy bars in addition to PhotoPass opportunities.

We'll be at the Sept 24th Sunday MNSSHP and Tuesday 26th party too. Will you be going to either of these?

Hi guys, i am doing a solo trip this week! Coming from Scotland and have booked the party on the 26th. I am so excited!

I am planning to have QS at Columbia Harbour House. You do want to check the party map for restaurant opening time. They having different opening times and most don't stay open for the entire party.

 

[Mrspeaks]

Not long at all - there are several locations throughout the park that have CMs giving out the wristbands. Havent' waited for more than a couple of minutes when we got our MVMCP bands

If you have already been in the park on a regular park ticket and have hard tickets for the party - not assigned on your band, do they scan them to see your party ticket?

Can either link to your magic band or bring your hard plastic party ticket which they can scan - -- and then you get party band

@Bopsie to the party!

We are doing a late lunch at Whispering Canyon for our "big" meal of the day. At the party we will just snack as needed! Or split a counter service.

Many eat a large meal before and will pick up a snack at QS later. You can eat your snack while standing in line for a meet & greet.

We are arriving in the morning on August 25th. We have party tickets for that evening. I have read that we can make fast pass selections until 6 or so. Will I be able to make those selections at 60 days just using my party ticket? We are staying at the Poly. We have 4 day park hoppers but I don't want to use it that first night, the party night. Thanks everyone. This thread is very helpful!!

Yes, as long as the party ticket is on the same MDE as your resort reservation you can make FPs 60 days out for 3:30-4:30, 4:30-5:30, 5:30-6:30.
