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

[AngelDisney]

When you're ready to purchase the tickets through your MDE account, you will get a confirmation number. That number should automatically appear in your MDE.
If you purchase them without going through your MDE account you will then have to add the confirmation number.

EDIT: If you choose NOT to use your MB at the party is up to you, but using the party ticket alone will effect getting Magic Shots.

I have a question about the Halloween magic shots. We have the party tickets on a separate MDE in order to double dip on the FP+. We have memory maker on our primary MDE with hotel reservation and regular park tickets. If we attend the party using the hard tickets, can we scan our MB with no party tickets to use our memory maker for the magic shots? TIA for your kind assistance!

Are you flying or driving? If flying, I wouldn't do it...too easy to get a delay either in the flight or Mears transport and that 8pm arrival becomes 10pm and after a long travel day, no one's up to one more thing...

We are flying. Our plane gets in at 5:20. We are staying at the Poly. I was just thinking that it would be 8:00 pm by the time we could get there. We won't have a long travel day as our flight takes off at 3:15. It's only a 2 hour flight. There are always risks for delayed flights and a delay with DME. I'm just gathering information to see if it's something we may want to do. You have given me something to consider. Thank you for your opinion.

Very high risks for late afternoon flight delays in the fall - so many thunderstorm delays still around then...and even just weather and traffic delays from earlier in the day piling up...

Yes, you are right. I will have to think about that. Sometimes it's just not worth the stress. Thanks again!!

@AngelDisney I'm replying here to keep your post as unanswered because I can't help you with this. I think @Cluelyss would be perfect to for the job as she has written a very detailed and comprehensive thread about FP and all it entails.

My husband and I are checking in at the Poly on August 25th. We were considering going to the party that evening. It looks like we wouldn't be able to get there until about 8:00 pm. That's still 4 hours of park time.Is it even worth it? We don't need to meet any characters or trick or treat. We were mostly interested in seeing all the costumes and fireworks and parade. What would you do?? It will just be the 2 of us. No kids or grandkids.

When I read this I started daydreaming! An easy stress free MNSSHP - Yes, please! Then I read this ...

POP! And I have to agree. Very valid points when traveling. Just one more item on my bucket list!

We'll be staying at BRV Oct 26-Nov.1 and plan on attending the Sleepy Hollow Event as well. My questions were based on transportation to Ft. Wilderness as we have never been there. For anyone else looking for the same here's the scoop!

What is the best method of transportation to Trails End from BRV?

How do I get to Tri-Circle D Ranch from Trails End?

Once the event is over how do I get back to BRV from Tri-Circle D Ranch?

"If you are going to Trails End in the evening then you can take the MK bus. It goes to the Settlement area of Fort Wilderness for Hoop Dee Doo guests. But ask the bus driver before getting on the bus to make sure he is going there. The Settlement area is where the restaurants are. I would ask the bus driver how to get back to the WL.

There is also a boat that goes from WL to Fort Wilderness. It runs until 11pm.

I think the Tri-Circle D ranch is the one right next to Trails End, but I'm not sure."

Thanks @Wood Nymph I hope this helps others

Hahaha!! Thanks!! It was wonderful. I've been dreaming of my next one in August.

Yep, I agree. Every time we flew in early evening / late afternoon we had weather delays. I know when we go in august, we can always count on few big thunderstorms, especially around 4 - 5 PM

I never knew this let alone heard about the weather being so difficult in August. Who knew!

I'm actually considering switching to a morning flight just so we can attend this party. Isn't that silly??? I start acting like a kid again when I plan a Disney trip.......

 

[Stuarotra]

Thanks for your wisdom to all who gave me advice on the late travel plans and trying to make it to the party. I changed my flight so we have an early morning flight that day. We may have to wait for our room to be ready but at least we can go to the party!!! I'm so excited!!

You are in good company, I think you can't help but feel like that planning your Disney trip

So tell me are there costumes now that you'll be flying in earlier

Hahahaha!! Yes!! More like Disney bounding "costumes". My husband is super excited.... He loves this stuff!!! He is a big kid!!! I am too...... can't wait until our grandkids are old enough to do this with us....

Sweeet! After I posted that question I was thinking, Oh no, I don't want to cause you any stress! This sounds perfect!

Oh no, not at all. That's why I asked the question. I needed different views and opinions. It got me to thinking and I asked my husband how badly he wanted to go to the party. I asked him if he wanted to go badly enough to get up extra early and take an early flight so we can make it on time. Obviously his answer was "let's do it"!! The advice helped so much. Thanks to everyone!!! That's why I love these boards so much....

Hi all! Excited to be back on a MNSSHP thread for our upcoming October trip. I'm a little behind the 8 ball on planning this time around since it was a last minute (surprise) agreement of the hubs a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, we've done the party several times and LOVE it. The last time (I can't believe it's been this long!) was in September of 2014. We did two parties that trip, and one was focused around the Villains Sinister Soiree Party (in the castle). It was one of our all time favorite Disney experiences EVER!!!!!!! I've been hunting around, and it looks like they no longer offer it. Are they offering anything similar this year? I've hunted around a bit, but I haven't found much.

Thanks so much!
