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

[CMNJ]

Sorry, what is the meet-up that has been mentioned that has the different bag/cups/posters etc??

There was a special Disney parks blog event last night that @yulilin3 got tickets through.

I heard the villain pins are sold at the Emporium and Big Top Souvenirs? I would assume it's better to go to Big Top because it won't be as busy?

It's too bad they don't let each party-goer make one meet & greet fastpass at the time they purchase their party ticket. But that would mean the'd have to commit to who the characters would be way in advance, plus I'm sure there are other problems I'm not thinking of. But it would be nice to be able to meet even just one character without much of a queue.

That line looked pretty busy to me!

I don't know about the Emporium, but Big Top was busy earlier (around 4:30pm) but later in the evening (9pm) there were no lines.

I'll probably check them both out when I arrive to see which one is less busy.

Good to know, thanks!

Question about the bypass - when we enter the park at 4:00 PM with our party tickets, do we have to go down the bypass, or can we walk down Main Street? I'm asking because I'll have 2 kids with me, their first time to MK, so I'd love to walk down Main Street for that first experience of seeing it and the castle, then circle back to the bypass to get trick-or-treat bags.

Also, I'm curious about all that chocolate candy - doesn't it melt by the end of the night in that Florida heat and humidity? I'm going to encourage the kids to trick-or-treat later in the evening, for that reason, and also so they don't have to carry it around all night. The candy won't run out, will it?

If we attend the Dessert Party with Plaza viewing, would we be allowed to stay in the viewing plaza for the Hocus Pocus show and late parade?


Being able to do this would totally justify the price of the party, but I don't want to assume anything.

I'm sure you could stay there for HP, but the area is no longer "reserved" after the fireworks. You would not have any sort of parade view from there, though.

Yes, you should be able to walk down main street if you want. In general, chocolate melts around 95 degrees. TOT doesn't start until 7p. By then, the sun will be low/down and it should be no higher than low 80s, hopefully cooler. But yes, TOT later in the evening works better for this. When we went a few years ago, we had no problems with melted candy.

Thanks! I read on another site that they were giving parade viewing passes as part of the party based on a conversation with Disney, but I don't really trust it until I see if anyone has actually received it.

You can walk down Main Street if you like. You don't have to go down the bypass at all if you don't want to... at 7:00 when the party starts all the trick or treat stations have bags they can give you (you just don't get the little "starter pack" of candy). We went in at 4:00, did our FP+, had dinner, then circled back to get our bags at the front of the park.

And no, the chocolate doesn't melt. Ours was fine. But the lines are much shorter at the end of the night, so if your kids can wait, I would encourage that anyway. The candy will absolutely not run out - they have loads of it!

Parade viewing was included in the dessert party package in prior years, but not this year. Even then, the viewing area was for the first parade only and was by the flagpole.

 

[DisneyChris2016]

I know there are locations inside the park where you can check in and get your wristband- are you also able to get your trick or treat bag and the small bag filled with a few pieces of candy there as well?

We were told the only location to get the small bags of candy was at the front bypass behind Main Street. You can get bags at any of the TOT stations if you don't care about the initial candy... it doesn't seem like much compared to how much candy you end up with if you are trick or treating throughout the night anyway.

 

[Cluelyss]

on a side note, is 3 weeks in advance too early to send a parcel to a Disney hotel?

I always aim to have the package arrive no more than a week before I do.

I'm sorry I know this was posted at some point, but where exactly does the bypass take you?

I went to a party last year and got my picture with Jack Skellington and Sally. By the time I got to the 7 Dwarfs, rain and lightning were in the area so they had to shut down the M&G. The 7 Dwarfs M&G is probably my number one priority this year. Does anyone know what time they start meeting, and what time would you get in line? Thanks. I'll be at the party on 9/1.

To the hub area at the end of Main Street-you come out between the plaza restaurant and tomorrowland terrace

Last year they started meeting around 6:15
We got in line between 5:30 and 5:45 and waited about an hour to see them in mid October

Walmart usually has some cute Halloween tshirts too. I haven't looked yet this year, but they are usually about $5-8 dollars.
