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

[Maggie'sMom]

Did people start lining up for Moana shortly after 4:00? I'm wondering if we should head over there as soon as we arrive or if we can spend the first hour doing something else and get in line around 5:00? I'd just rather waste time in line before 7:00 than after. I hope they decide to bring Moana out earlier at future parties.

Saw Tarzan, Jane, and turk.

how long was the wait?

The poison apple shots were located all over the park. We did this pose at several locations throughout the night.

Thank you I updated the Magic Shots thread over [URL="https://www.disboards.com/threads/magic-shots-current-listings.3619546/#post-57930856"]here[/URL]!

I think 5pm would be good. I can't say for sure because I wasn't at the party, I thought I saw in a tweet that it was starting just after 5 but I don't have the info to hand. I think the next couple of parties will give us a good idea.

Sorry if this has been asked. I'm thinking about going Sep 24th which is also the last CM discounted party day. Are those cm discount party days more crowded? Last year was our first time attending. We went mid October and it was great, but this year thinking about going in sept to save a few bucks...

Last year it sold out.

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?

Also the apple and Iago magic shots were being done as soon as you enter the park in the backstage walkway, so you got in, got your wristband, make a right after Tony's and there were several photopass photographers doing shots there then you get your bag and first pack of candy

 

[FoxC63]

As far as I know, wristbands weren't given out anywhere til the front gate people were officially let in.

Photo was posted they give them out at 4pm.

You really have to decide what's important to you. Treats? Parade? Characters? Rides? Fireworks? Shows? It's really hard to find a balance.

My kids love standing in lines for characters. That's all they want to do. My husband just likes to trick or treat and hunt down magic shots. I love the parade and fireworks. So next year we're going to try to split up a bit more.

I regret not watching both parades cause I really love them. Food lines, trick or treat lines, ride lines are all shorter later in the evening. The problem is, if you wait too long, you do run out of time anyways.

You solve this problem by doing more than one party!!!!

Are they selling the poison apple step again this year?

 

[lindsayjs]

Okay, here's a question. We'll be at MK before the party but plan on taking a break to change into party clothes and freshen up. We'll likely get into the park around 5pm. Will we enter in the MNSSHP line or regular turnstiles and grab wristbands inside? Does it matter or can we just see whatever is shorter?

 

[Kindermouse]

And then your plans go awry anyways. We decided ahead of time we weren't going to line up for any characters. Then my kids saw Abu and the Tweedles and our best laid plans went right out the window.

We also planned not to meet any character since it eats so much time...but I have never met Abu before and that sounds so tempting. aaarrrrgggg the best laid plans.

 

[yulilin3]

Remember to look up for this shot. Our photographer did not point that out to us and my daughter is looking down

 

[Kindermouse]

We are doing a half day at Epcot before the party (assuming I go to the 10/3 party instead of the 10/5 party) can we ride the monorail over with our party ticket?

how long was the wait?

I don't think it was too long. I was just walking passed and noticed it to be like oh hey there's Tarzan. It wasn't anything like the lines for moana or the dwarfs.

Awesome. I'm thinking of doing (my first!) MNSSHP next year, and really Tarzan/jane is the only meet and greet I'm interested in. Good to hear its not insane like some of the others.

The thing about character meet and greets is that you can see a relatively short line and think, okay, this doesn't seem too bad, but then you don't really know how long characters and/or guests are going to engage with one another. I've seen guests quickly take photos and move on, while others keep interacting with characters and it feels like these interactions take forever.

THIS!

Anybody with ride wait time reports?

Also, can anyone confirm if the effects were working in the Peter Pan queue during the party or were they turned off?

Thanks!

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

If they don't show up, there should be a "contact us" option. When we went a couple years ago, we had someone else's photos in our file. It took a few days but the CMs were able to find our photos. We had to give an estimated time we were at the particular photo stop and describe who was in the shot.

Allergy friendly items. BTW my daughter asked for 1 of each and the CM filled up the bag.

Thanks for sharing - looks like everything here was dairy, gluten, nut, and soy free?

Thanks! Our poison apple shots are starting to show up now. We do have a few magic shots missing, but we'll wait and see a bit.
