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

[AndreaA]

We will attending this event in a couple of weeks. It will be our first time. Since there will be limited tickets for this event, will there still be fast passes available? Is the whole Magic Kingdom opened or just certain parts? These questions may have been asked before so I apologize in advance. The thread has over 390 pages! lol. Thank you.

If I recall correctly, there are no fast passes at any of the parties. BUT most people are there for the characters so ride waits are not bad at all. I've been to two parties and had no trouble getting on rides, especially as the night went on.

Oogie Boogie bucket. I saw this on instagram today, sorry not the best pic.

Wow! This is so exciting. I thought he wasn't going to be available until October. Was that a bad rumor or do you think they brought out this popcorn bucket as a first post-Irma party surprise?

Does anyone know if the Kiss Goodnight happens on party nights?

Then why do they give you the option to print them at home? What a waste LOL. I'm bringing my paper tickets just in case.

While you're in line waiting to enter, CMs are walking around with scanners to exchange the paper tickets for plastic. I would do that just in case.

Going to my first ever MNSSHP next week, does anyone have a more detailed map of where to find characters? A lot of what I've seen just lists them by what land they're in, but sometimes it's easy to miss things tucked away in weird spots and I'd hate to walk right passed a character I'd want to meet.

I really want to meet Cruella especially since I'll be attending with my service dog and it's sure to be a fun interaction.

I don't have a detailed map but I do have their exact locations on a printable pdf, it also states who signs and if photopass is avail.

Ah thank you so much! This is very helpful.

Hmmm, yes people have reported FP's on their Party Tickets have worked just fine. Remember you can add them between 4-6pm.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the great information! We are headed to our first party on October 5th, and I'm still having some trouble deciding on a plan. My teen DS and his friend will be there, but touring separately, so this is just for me and DH. My big issue is that we can't be there when they open at 4. DH and I are doing the Tokyo sake pairing from 4-6 at Epcot. I am thinking we will walk back to the Beach Club after and grab a Minnie van to get to MK (this seems like it will be fastest?). I have accepted that I won't be meeting Jack & Sally, so characters not really a priority. I want to get some magic shots, ride HM and BTMR (have always wanted to do this at night and somehow it's never worked out!), do one or two ToT lines just to experience it, watch the parade, fireworks and Hocus Pocus show. I was originally thinking that I would do fireworks, second parade and midnight Hocus Pocus, but it seems like that last hour is the best time for magic shots and rides? Would it make more sense to do an earlier Hocus Pocus, first parade and fireworks? I am fine watching either parade from Frontierland, but like to have a first-row view. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!!

I would do the first parade and last Hocus Pocus which starts at midnight. That essentially gives you bonus party time since the party ends at midnight. You are right in that the last hour is too good to waste waiting for the parade. You'll be able to walk right up to the last Hocus Pocus show, unless you really wanted to be in the front row.

looks like we will be adding another party to our plans! we will be going to the party on the 22nd and 24th. I will buy tickets for the 24th once we get to Disney so I can get an AP discount. what shall i be...Hmmmm?

 

[Pat Gaik]

Can one use resort delivery of merchandise purchased at MNSSHP? And if so, would the popcorn bucket qualify for that as well?

We're possibly going to both of those too. So excited!

Wow, really great question. I'll follow along, hopefully someone knows.

And if not, they do have lockers to rent.

 

[FoxC63]

They have different colored bands and switch them.

Totally off topic but do you remember how much the Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket was $13.50 sound about right? Thank you!

As WDW won't mail the party tickets outside the US (I'm in Canada) printing out the tickets is the only option for international guests & has never been a problem for me at prior parties. The CM scans my paper printout at the turnstile and then another puts on my wristband. I never receive any other ticket & never go to Guest Services to get anything else.

It depends i HAVE had them send something back if it was before 5pm but they did say it would add a day onto the send time.

Was that for a store purchase or purchase made at the cart? I bought the Haunted Mansion figurine at the cart located by HM and they sent it to my resort, but a popcorn bucket that might be different.

In store purchase, but in the past with a reciept i've had them shove in other stuff i bought from different stores in disney springs. So it MAY be possible.

Does anyone know if they brought back the MNSSHP mystery pin boxes yet? The ones that were available the first party and then pulled due some issues with them.
How about any Hocus Pocus merchandise? Are all these party exclusive items still unavailable for purchase?
