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

[Bex258]

No I do not drink but I have 49 days until I am down there for my vacation. I had a blast last year and now that I have followed this thread, I have learned so much valuable information that will make a difference in what I do for my 2 parties coming up. My only problem is trying to figure out how to get in line for Jack and Sally since I will be in the park on Thursday before the party starts. I am hoping there will be a very nice person in front or behind me that WILL save my spot so I can run and get my party band and then get back in line.

People don't really line up much earlier than 4 for Jack and Sally. If you were at one of the in park locations to pick up your wrist band 10 minutes before 4 I think you would be fine.

But yeah, make friends with the people near you in line. I have no problem saving spots if someone needs to go to the bathroom or get a snack or drink.

I'm in the park before the party on my visit. I plan to be ready to grab a wristband and head to Jack and Sally as close to 4pm as possible. I plan a bathroom break and a snack purchase just before my wristband too.

Yes guests can enter at 4pm if they want to.

Not necessarily, last year guest were allowed in at 3:45. I think @monique5 is wondering if they are going to be let in at 4pm

Are you there?

Are you going by yourself?

Yes, my oldest has clinicals for her NP program and the youngest doesn't trust anyone to watch her 2 dogs even though she works at a vet hospital!!! I have been going to Disney for the past few years and recently got addicted to now only going at Halloween time. To just have some mommie time away from everything is a great vacation for me. Between my first job 3/12's, my second job being a clinical professor for an ADN nursing program, and my third job being a clinical/academic instructor for an LPN program near where I live. SO this will be a WELL deserved vacation!!

Guests will work with you. You will not have an issue.

No I read your post wrong. My bad. I'm going next Friday

I hope so. I plan on meeting pooh and gang on Tuesday and on Thursday I want Jack and Sally. Saying my prayers!!

Yeah, this one is great. In addition to what I mentioned before, The blanket is super soft, two nice pillowcases and a really nice "floor basket" container thing. Treats include candy corn, gummy worms, pretzels big bag, big box of taffy, funfetti. And the door banner is also really cool.

I'm really impressed with it. I'm going to email my "thumbs up" and gently suggest they revisit the cihristmas/holiday one....

I've been considering doing the in-room celebration. How do you do it for multiple kids? Or do you just say Mickey left a gift for all of us to share? Also, how do you get the stuff home? Does it take up a lot of room? Or do you mail it home?

Kenny the Pirate arrived at MK 20 minutes ago. I'm hoping he tweets about the whole 4pm entry thing.

I decided to keep the Hallowishes dessert party with Plaza Garden viewing. Now I'm debating whether or not to tell my sister. She's not a crazy dessert person, but I think she'll like it (especially since I'm paying). When I booked I didn't put another name for the guest, so she won't see it on her MDE (she has a separate account but they are linked). So do I:
1) Tell her now
2) Tell her the day of, so she isn't too full for the desserts
3) Tell her as we walk up to Tomorrowland Terrace?

I'm horrible at keeping secrets/surprises though...

Thank you

You're welcome! It's looking like guests will be allowed in at 4pm so that's a sigh of relief!

I have park tickets along with party tickets on the same day so I plan on getting in early and scooping things out. I am staying at WL and only need to change into my black shorts and Halloween t-shirt so it will not take me long to head back to MK.
