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

[Cluelyss]

I have been wondering about this too. I have a Saturday planned for it if it's offered.
Pixie dust!

I believe fall dates were announced in July of last year?

Thanks! I would keep waiting for good news!!

 

[Cluelyss]

So excited! Booked due to free dining, now find out about the MNsshp, which will be my birthday! I have to change my plan but don't want to miss my tickets for the party. Is this the best place to find out when they are on sale? Should I also sign up for the dessert party?
I want to be Belle in the blue dress, but Im thinking August is too hot in WDW for such a costume??

Disney will announce in advance whenever tickets will go on sale, but it will also be be posted here. This is NOT something you need to buy immediately for fear of selling out, though.

 

[Avalon_toon]

Watching this...I'm needing 8/25 tix too!

Me too! Looking at airfare, it looks like we will need to move our dates forward a bit, so 8/25 is the only date available to us now, can't wait!

 

[FoxC63]

Is there an official thread watching out for the Hallowishes Dessert Party? I did a very brief search and came up empty.

No there isn't, nor have I ever seen one for any year. As soon as the information becomes available it will be posted on the First Page of this thread on Post #1.

Yes, this is the Official thread where all things related to MNSSHP can be found and then some! The Prices will be posted on the First Page on Post #1 when it becomes available.

Hallowishes Desert Party - Hmmm, though I've never been I've read positive and negative reviews but if this is your first MNSSHP I would say skip it.

Last year @belleincanada posted pictures of her Village Belle costume for early September see post #5344

We will be at WDW 9/6-9/13. Hoping/planning to attend the 9/7 party, but plan to wait until a few days before then to decide on date due to weather forecast. I would hate to spend all that money on a rain out when another party a day or two later has great weather forecasted. We would have a total of 3 dates possible, but REALLY prefer the 7th. I know that those dates are unlikely to sell out. Does anyone else here wait until closer to time to decide on the date?

I never thought of the weather. This is actually a really good idea! it shouldn't be sold out for 9/24, should it??

 

[FoxC63]

Do they require you to show your annual pass when you enter if you bought discounted tickets?

No not at all. Everything including your MNSSHP tickets should scan on your MB.

Looking to get tickets for the 1st party. Can I pay with a giftcard? And is it better to buy them when they 1st come out or wait are there later discounts?

Yes you can purchase MNSSHP tickets with Disney Gift Cards but it will need to be done in a single transaction online. If you call then you can use multiple GC's. I always combine my GC"s into one via Disney Gift Card you can combine up to $1000.00. Here's the link:

Does anyone know if Club Villain will be returning towards the end of this year?

and @AngelDisney

@Cluelyss is correct. Disney released information for Club Villain in mid July last year. I'm hoping it will be available again this year as well. If and when it does, it will be posted on the First Page of this thread.

is it possible to buy 'memory maker' for just the party? the party is the time we will be in the actual parks this trip (Disney cruise beforehand, then after the party flying to LA for a few days in Disneyland). would love pics of us all together in costume!

There is a one-day Memory Maker for purchase at $59. Once you have taken a picture, your account will pop up with the option to purchase it.

Looking to book a Keys To The Kingdom Tour this trip and thought we would book it the same day we select MNSSHP and just plan to spend all day at the MK. The date we were thinking is Thursday, Oct 26. Just realized there is also a party on the 27th ... curious how much "busier" the Friday party will be vs Thurs. Attending will be DD (age 16) and myself (2nd mother/daughter trip).

Keys To The Kingdom Tour - Wow! How fun and a lot of walking about 5 hours! Not so sure I would want to book this the same day as MNSSHP as there will be plenty of walking at this event too. As for which day will be best or least crowded we really need to know the prices and discounts to further assist in decisions and here's why: Last year Sunday, Sept. 25th was "Sold Out" due to it being the last day of Cast Members receiving a discount as well as other factors I'm sure. It was reported by many who attended how crazy busy it was throughout MK not just on Main Street or the Hub, lines for rides, party specific merchandise, Magic Shots, ToTing, M&G locations and not just the Priority ones either. So again, we need to know the Prices & Discounts being offered.

Last year several parties had rain - severe storms from Hurricane Matthew many reported Disney's generosity, they were able to switch their party date for another, got a refund or received Park Hoppers without expiration dates. If this happens to you simply go to Guest Services at MK. Also here's a link to my favorite weather website, it includes 10 day and monthly forecast.

There is a wealth of information already posted on the First Page of this post and it includes One Day Memory Maker, but yes it is available to purchase but ONLY on the mobile app. Here's more information to help you:

I was looking into this from 2016 thread and am still trying to find the answer, if anyone met with Alice & her friends last year and could assist that would be great!

I did not wait to meet her, but her line was not very long during any of the times I passed her during the party, maybe 15 people or so.

My visit was an early September party.

Thank you for responding. I was trying to find out this information for a fellow DISer. Can you please tell me did you write a trip report? If so can you provide a link? Thank you so much!

I didn't see your original post. We met the Queen of Hearts with the Tweedles last year and the Queen by herself the year before. The wait in 2015 was longer than 2016 since she came out late in 2015. We did not meet Alice and the Mad Hatter as we had met them during the day already. There are 2 separate lines for the characters. If you are standing Looking at the teacups with tomorrowland behind you the line on the left is for Alice/Mad Hatter (where I've seen them meet during the day) and the right is for the Queen (and the Tweedles if hey join her again this year). We got in line early in the party (around 7 or shortly after) so not sure if the line does down later in the evening but the lines were forming before the characters ever arrived both years (nothing like the dwarves/jack skellington though). Our parties were in mid Oct both years.

Thanks for this as it will be most helpful when planning. Do you remember your dates. Thanks again.

No there isn't, nor have I ever seen one for any year. As soon as the information becomes available it will be posted on the First Page of this thread on Post #1.

Actually, we went the first year this was announced (2015) and had a 16 page thread on it. It wasnt a "watching out for" thread since this had never been done but once it was announced it was updated with the new info. Not sure if there was one last year.

That's a relief to hear as I really don't want to wait too long to purchase the tickets! I was wondering if they would let you switch dates if there was availability! thank you for your response and for the weather link as well. I'm going to save that one!!
