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

[pjtoadie]

No reports of earlier entry? Last year I got in at 3:40pm with the MNSSHP ticket only.

Kenny The Pirate reported that the gates opened at 3:52 for those with a party ticket.

Can you please tell me what time you lined up for Tweedles & Queen of Hearts and was it one line to meet them? Thanks you!

It was just after 9pm. Yes, one line.

Probably about 50 minutes. But they took a 20 minute break at one point, so it would have been 30 minutes.

Lines forming for the party at 3:34pm. We were already inside as we used our AP's to get in.



They opened the by pass gate right before 4pm to start allowing party people in.
Bypass gate opened at 3:52pm.

For people who attended last night's in hindsight is there anything that you would have done differently? I know for a lot of you this wasn't your first party, so you probably had a good idea of what to expect, but like people have said, every year is different.

Just looking for general advice since this is my first and probably only party ever. It sounds like maybe it's better to wait until later in the evening to trick-or-treat, and it definitely sounds like we should get out special treats early. Anything else to keep in mind?

Also, how late was the Emporium open? Were they letting people in to shop fairly late, like 12:30-ish?

Thanks for all your reports!

 

[M<3'sMickey]

So you went to the Emporium at midnight?

It was actually right around 12:30. Kinda had to run and find a door that was open so I could get in! I would have thought they would have stayed open a few minutes later considering the hocus pocus show was delayed and it was an opportunity to make $$$$.

I wonder if there's still a good amount of villain pins left? We're going on Friday and my one DD really wants Ursula. With 5,400 available I should be ok hopefully....

I don't know what pins the cast member was talking about in the Emporium, but at 12:30 he said, "we're all sold out of the allotment for tonight." So if you're looking for a villain pin, IF that was the one he was talking about, I'd buy it early.

Did anyone see any photos of Ariel with Eric? That's the one character M&G I didn't see any reports on all night?

Yes, Ariel and Eric were out by the ride.

Wow, that's just crazy!!! Regarding last night, hope you do a full report! peeps?

No peeps. No Werthers candy either. At least none that I saw.

Still looking for when people were let in yesterday and I'm assuming FP+ worked fine for everyone since I have not seen anything about that.

We got in a little before 4. FP+ worked fine, but I also don't have FP+ for any other days since this MNSSHP was one and done for us this trip.

Thanks for all the great updates from last night. Does anyone know what the wait for jack sparrow was? And did the lines for jack and dally get shorter at the end of the night? Just wondering if we should go directly there at 4 or if we should wait until during a parade or late late late...we are attending one of the predicted "lowest attendance" parties but I know the character lines are always long.

KTP reported that the line for Jack Sparrow was all the way to the Tiki Room.

I would still go there at 4pm. They can cut the line before the end meet time if its too busy. I don't know that the queue gets that short even on a quiet party.

Yeah good idea to buy a pin early...thanks for the info!

 

[FoxC63]

I got one at around 10:45

Do you remember how much you paid for the Mickey Waffle and what time you purchased your ornament at the Emporium? Thank you!

 

[M<3'sMickey]

It came to $5.96 even though the sign said $6.49 for it. Idk lol. It was really really good.

I purchased the ornament at 12:35ish.

 

[FoxC63]

Anyone have any information on wristband distribution inside the park? We might be in on our hooper before 4:00 pm. Were the stations still near PoC in Adventureland and Stitch in Tomorrowland? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.

Not my picture I saw it on twitter last night

Was it confirmed no Tink or snow white last night?

I mentioned last night that I looked quickly at MDE and the characters who were out for the party were listed along with meeting times (when they were scheduled to meet not wait times). Tink was on there and said 9am-9:30 pm if I recall correctly. I noticed it because I had heard she wasn't listed as meeting. I do not recall seeing Snow White's name listed but I am not 100% positive. I also did not notice the stepsisters listed or see any reports about meeting them despite reading yesterday am they supposedly would be there.

I'll have to subscribe I think, but my plan is to check in, get right in line for jack and dally, possibly have DH grab us party snacks and after the M&G with them, go straight to jack sparrow. Then get all the trick or treating / rides / shopping etc, catch the fireworks, last parade and last hocus pocus.

Does this sound like a feasible plan? They are the only 2 characters my kids have any interest in, after that they will be focused on trick or treating, and we have 2 other park days for rides. I know the show is a priority for me and obviously the parade and fireworks. Just trying to get a basic plan without overdwhelming my son who has SPD and anxiety and DH who is recovering from surgery.

also super bummed I won't be able to get the Oogie boogie popcorn bucket

Do you know if they started giving out wristbands for the party inside around the same time? I'll already be in the park for my party and I'm wondering if people at the gates will be able to get them earlier.

 

[Disneylover99]

Anybody else who went to the party last night not having magic shots showing up in MDE? Our poison apple shots are not there.

 

[FoxC63]

Kenny The Pirate reported that the gates opened at 3:52 for those with a party ticket.

And some reported 3:40 and 4pm - I think we need more confirmation. 3:52 is a weird time.

They might take 24 hrs. Thanks for mentioning this, Disney does not have this posted on their facebook page! This is a shot I would like to have too. Where was this located?

 

[Stuarotra]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Beast was at BOG during the party for dinner

Maybe their watches or phones are all different lol.
