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

[ErinsMommy]

We tried to get the SotMK cards when we first got in at 4:20pm and was told to come back at 7pm. We didn't go until 9ish and we all got our cards. (Note: It was later reported SotMK were given out at 4pm.)

What's a SotMK card?

Who’s going to the first MNSSHP? - Part 4 Final post

So many people were asking about the Desert Party and I couldn't believe having gone 255 pages deep there were no reviews - not a peep. So I did some digging and this is what I found:

Fellow Michigander and DISer @Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina wrote an awesome trip report about her experience at MNSSHP & Hallowishes Dessert Party and included fantastic photos. The thread is titled “Double, Double, Toil & Trouble: a Halloween-inspired trip of “two’s” an October 2016 TR”. Gina & her husband Steve attended MNSSHP & Hallowishes Dessert Party on Sunday, Oct 16, 2016, page 7 – 9 will get you to the party details but it’s such a great read I wouldn’t miss a page! Link:

Unfortunately they do not work for me at all.

I thought it was going to be offered Thursday THROUGH Sunday, not Thursday AND Sunday?!

I know, I was so disappointed when I found out the dates. But it's still early and Disney may add more if the current dates sell out, at this price point I believe it will sell out.

Joining in the waiting game here! This technically won't be a Disney vacation for us. We're spending 4 nights/5 days on the dark side at Cabana Bay in October. But, I absolutely had to insist we free up a night to attend our FAVORITE hard ticket event at Disney. Fairly positive there will be, but hoping for a 10/17 party date!

 

[dolewhipdreams]

I'll be there 8/31-9/5 so I'm hoping they do a Labor Day weekend party again because I already have a costume in mind and I'll be devastated if I don't get to wear it in the park.

I'm going as Ariel the Newsie! Not sure how it's going to turn out yet but in my head it's pretty awesome

Wow, what a great shout out! We actually attended two parties on that trip, so the second review will be coming up in the next few posts. Thanks for reading and the kind comments. There's nothing more fun than Halloween at the Magic Kingdom .

PS....which part of the state do you hail from?

Since 180 days out from 10/1 is 4/1 - did they have any projection of a Halloween party dates release? I wonder how many will book this without knowing party dates.

I didn't ask about party dates. But I think we've got a *pretty good* idea of October parties based on park hours, it's the late August / early September that's more up in the air IMO.

I went back to the “Official 2016 MNSSHP” and found some interesting posts from fellow DISers who attended the first party on Sept. 2, 2016. The reports start on page 213 and I stopped at page 255. Note each post is #numbered. Here’s what party goers had to say:

Thanks for the hard work on this. However, one tip: If you click on the post number of a post you want to refer to in another thread, you will get a pop up window which will give you the URL to copy, or below it the option of something called BB Code Link snippet, which looks like this:

And if you add this to a post, this will happen: "Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

If you want the text that is the link to appear differently, you change out the wording at the end of the code that I bolded in the quote above. And you can get it too like this for example: post #670

Ok, it seems that the Code window does not show any bold. So, it its the text between the first closing bracket after the number and the URL.

#4555 - Overall we had an amazing time! We were there from 3:45pm til just after 1am and boy did the night fly by. We did not find it crowded but it was busy.....just a hustle and bustle of people moving about really. Candy lines were long for most of the evening, but the lines move quickly so you never feel like you're waiting. There were lots of prime viewing spots for Wishes. We got an excellent spot five minutes before the second parade.
#4668 - We saw the last Hocus Pocus show at midnight and then we slowly made our way down Main Street so that my husband could stop at every Photopass place he could find. They closed the stores at about 12:30am but Starbucks was still open. Some Photopass people were still taking pictures as we left at 1am.
#4675 - We also bought exclusive pins before 5pm at the Big Top Souvenirs. There was already a long line.
#4797 - The line at Storybook Circus (Big Top Souvenirs) was longish just before 5pm, but it moved pretty fast. We waited about 15 minutes. The lines were longer there at 7/8pm but shorter later in the evening from what we could see.
#4876 - They (Big Top Souvenirs) had a special line just for party goers. You couldn't buy the exclusive pins without your wristbands. It was very organized.

Wow! I had a lot to say. I don't even remember half of that now. Good thing I didn't contradict myself.

This! Thanks for the input. I'll have to give it a try if I do something like this again. I swear I learn something new everyday here on the DIS and this is so positive. At times I feel like a newbie.

That's part of the fun!! I knew about the linking for a long time, but just recently learned the code quoting from another helpful poster! I always enjoy finding out new neat features of the forum software.

UGH! This is totally freaking me out now! Time for yoga and I don't know... caffeine free tea! I'll keep working on it as I have just one more thing to add. Which is my Thanks.

Who’s going to the first MNSSHP?

We will go if there is one on Sept 2. We've been 4 out of the last 5 years (missed 2015 completely due to work schedule). We even went on 10/31/2014.

We did do the dessert party last year but I didn't think it was worth the money.
