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

[FoxC63]

@Cluelyss Sooo sad! Just march into that school and declare your dates National Vacation Week declared by Princess by Royal Decree Her Majesty Queen Cluelyss! I'll back you up! I'll start a petition.
Say it ain't so

Okay, so we have four day park hopper passes. If we don't use one on this trip because we opt to do MNSSHP, can we use the extra pass on another trip? And, can we take the 4dphp and upgrade it to an AP?

I would call Disney. Some of what I've been reading here looks outdated.

I agree with this - you may be able to just call Disney and ask them to make it a 3 day PH.

@Cluelyss I'll be more than happy to mail you mine and DH Headless Horseman pin for your kids. Is there anything I can do? I'm really super upset, I was so looking forward to seeing you all, this will be two years in a row.

Thank you so much for the sweet offer, but we still got tickets, just not the premium ones (who's being selfish now, lol!)

Hoping we can stay at the same resort (BC - we are booked under a magical deal so hoping there is still availability under our new dates....at an Epcot resort....during F&W....happy to move to an MK resort if needed!).

Hubby and I will be celebrating year #11 this fall. We were there for our 10th last year, so thinking this should become an annual tradition!

So very sad we will be missing you this year. I wonder if I can just send hubby and the kids back to Ohio and I'll stick around till you get there!!!

Absolutely this. And you can upgrade to an AP onsite as well.

A lot of you here have exponentially more experience than I do so am looking for a recommendation for a good place to have a late lunch/early dinner the night of our party.

Our party date again is Sunday, Sept 17th. We plan to go to Disney Springs for a little bit in the afternoon. My question has a couple parts:

-What time do we need to be to the Magic Kingdom by to get in in time for the party? 3:30?
-Where do you suggest we go for dinner (somewhere not inside a park - anywhere else is fair game)?
-What time should we make the reservation for?

I have been looking at reservations available on MDE but nothing that stands out so that is why I need your help. There are 7 of us in our party.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!

Our school calendar is out, and we have 3 days for fall break this year. And with spring break being the week before Easter, a trip that week won't work for us this time (even though we loved our spring break trip).

So...back for MNSSHP #3.

For the previous post, we got 2:00 Kona. That is what we have gone with in the past for parties. Around 2:00 at any monorail resort restaurant of your choosing. 3:30 is a good arrival time at the MK gates. For dinner: snacks and candy

I think I read on here that splash mountain is not running during the party. Is this correct? If so, I need to make some touring changes since splash is going to be down for refurbishment on the day I was suppose to go there......

We always eat at our resort before the party. It just makes things simple. However, if you want to eat closer to the parks, I would recommend either The Wave or Contempt at the Contemporary. You can take the monorail or even walk to MK after you eat. A reservation of 2:15 would give you plenty of time to eat and get to the park without rushing. have fun!

Splash is open during parties.

While Splash is open during parties, the ride is likely to go down for refurbishment on August 28th - meaning the only party that it would be open for this year is August 25th.

Do you need to purchase party tickets before you make ADR's for the dessert party?

 

[Daisybell911]

I just read that it will be closed because it's being refurbished from 8/28-late November.

 

[Cluelyss]

Nope, it's made like any other ADR.

@dfurst05 It would make sense to eat while at Disney Springs better food and the choices are abundant. My favorite is Earl of Sandwich and I'm not a sandwich lovin' person. But if your preference is for a nice sit down meal somewhere closer to MK @DWillowBay is spot on by recommending California Grill. It is signature dining so a bit pricey and will take up 2 table-service credits but for the quality it's well worth it. And The Wave which is a single credit.
Make reservation around 2:30 pm - 2:45 pm. You'll have two options upon arriving at MK by monorail or walking, since new security procedures on the monorail are in effect you should have some leeway arriving at MK by 3:30.

EDIT: Corrected The Wave~~~~~
