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

[Roobear77]

I am so excited for this year's party. It will be our first time. We've been to MVMCP, and we loved it, so have high hopes for the Halloween party. We will be at Fort Wilderness from Sept 26 to Oct 6, with October 1st being my daughter's 6th birthday. We are planning to go to the party that night. What a great way to celebrate a birthday!

So excited for the parties this year! We did 2 parties durning our trip last year and it was awesome!!! Really recommend if you don't mind paying the extra. We got to do everything we wanted plus some.

This year we are just doing the one party as we have a shorter trip. Trying to figure out our costumes. We are going early September but not sure which party date. Probably a Sunday.

We did 2 parties last year, and are going to do it again this year. It was so much fun! Also hoping we catch the first MVMCP too as we've never been. But something about Halloween is just more exciting to me

I have a question: I heard about an app called character locator by Kenny the pirate web site. Has anyone bought it for 7.99? Is it worth it and does it really help with finding the characters on the MNSSHP??

Kenny's app is great for all character interactions! He gives suggestions of when to line up and suggestions on what to say and how you can interact. With the parties he also includes who comes out "early" before the party officially starts at 7pm. If characters are important to you, I would say it is worth it. I used it for both MNSSHP and MVMCP.

Woohoo for this thread!! We are going to our first MNSSHP this year!!

US TOO! I'm totally psyched...

 

[sherlockmiles]

Hoping for Sun 9/10 and Tues 9/12. One party for characters and one for parade & fireworks.

OMG - what an awesome idea!!!! Luv it..... will probably do that if there are 2 dates during our trip!!

 

[sherlockmiles]

Is this party worth it for a 5 year old and a 2 (almost 3) year old? I'm afraid my 2 year old might poop out at 9pm or so.

I assume my 2 year old gets in free?

Does anyone know if I can ask a CM friend to buy tickets for us? Would she have to be there with us the day of the party?

Thanks!

Personally I wouldn't think so.

How out of place would it be to wear my Ravenclaw robe, etc for a costume?

Curious as to why MNSSHP was better than MVMCP? A few posters have said this in the past and I wonder why!

This is a tough one...but for me the MNSSHP is hands down the better party. Better candy, better theming, better parade, better fireworks. I like both for different reasons (time of year, weather, etc), but if I had to choose one over the other, MNSSHP wins every time.

Worth it for all the time, not just parties. Merida and Gaston for example aren't on Disney's site

I couldn't agree more! The Halloween party is the part of our trip we look forward to most!

MNSSHP is one of my favorite things to do at WDW. Hoping to make my 4th party in 2017

 

[sheila14]

I am going ahead and getting his app and see how well it works fir when I am down there in October. I wonder if Disney will offer the same candy treats as last yr or will they mix it up. I live chocolate but would love something different please no more gummie savers or skittles

Hopefully they'll follow the 2015 timelines this year.

Me, too! Our ADR day is March 23rd, and while I'm 99% confident our party night will be 9/22, I'm stressing thinking about making backup ADRs, because I'd have to flip an Ohana dinner and the new Trattoria al Forno breakfast if the party date changes. Gah!

Don't worry about it. Many people dress up in non Disney related costumes

Sorry to be dumb - what is ADR?
