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

[FoxC63]

We're all hoping to hear the news next week!

I seem to have conflicting info on how much the tickets were last year. Is that because they cost different prices depending on the dates?

Yes and when you bought them as well. The price went up if you bought them at the gate and was also higher for more desirable dates

The prices have always been listed on the first page of the "Official MNSSHP" thread. Here's a link to 2016 scroll down to "How much do tickets cost?" also note additional discounts were given to the following;Annual Passholder Advance Pricing, Disney Vacation Club Advance Pricing, CM Discounted Parties and Military Ticket Prices:

This is almost as bad as waiting to find out who shot J.R. <sorry to those of you that are too young to even know what I'm talking about>

Would anyone know ..... could I call and buy ticket for the party with AP rate - I will be upgrading my ticket when I go in August to AP. So I will have the AP when I go back again for the party.

 

[FeralCatRogue]

Not all nights are AP rate but the site itself allows you that rate.

This is the party date I am hoping for as well!!

As for costumes, my wife and I plan to disneybound as Belle and "Prince Adam" (Beast).

I would add the 19th as an estimated party date.

Also for people who are hoping for an August party date - I certainly hope for you that you are able to attend a party, however I noticed on Disney World's website for the event the header reads "Enjoy Enchanting Fun in September and October at Magic Kingdom Park".

Link here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/magic-kingdom/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party/

Certainly that doesn't officially mean there won't be an August party, but I thought it worth pointing out.

We'll be there 9/15-9/22 and are planning on a 9/17 party as well.

Glad I did not have when I read this. That was one long summer.
Yes, it's getting to be that bad.

 

[ErinsMommy]

Glad I did not have when I read this. That was one

Wasn't sure what was worse - the wait or the result after the wait. haha

So true.

Well, costumes are decided. DH is going to be Tigger like he wanted, and I'm going to be Marie. Since he didn't want to be Beast to my Belle, I've decided on the theme of Disney Cats I was going to still do Belle or maybe Eeyore, but decided I wanted to stay semi-themed together. And I love Marie, and cats, so it works out! I'm going to get a little creative with mine as just white pants and white shirt just don't do it for me haha! I want it to be more fun and creative than that. So I'm having fun coming up with ideas and stuff to make!

On a side note, I've been growing my hair longer since I'd thought about Belle and needed a ponytail. But now I can get it cut back short like I normally have it, yet I'm conflicted as I've been growing it out What to do, What to do...

Since the MNSSHP dates have not been released I thought this might help you, it's Disney's SEPTEMBER 2017 Park Calendar the one they send to Travel Agents. On MNSSHP nights the Magic Kingdom closes at 7pm. Here's the link:

Thumbs up @Robo for making it available on the DIS!

EDIT: Remember this is NOT set in stone so plan accordingly and be prepared to make adjustments.

sweet! thanks for sharing.

While we're all patiently waiting for the dates I've been working on -

Who’s going to the first MNSSHP? - Part 1

I went back to the “Official 2016 MNSSHP” and found some interesting posts from fellow DISers who attended the first party on Sept. 2, 2016. The reports start on page 213 and I stopped at page 255. Note each post is #numbered. Here’s what party goers had to say:

@RAPstar #4397 – Posted a Map of Character Locations (This was greatly appreciated!)

@urkalynne #4493 - Jack & Sally met at 5pm. Got in line at 5:30 and done at 7pm.

@Disneylover99 #4500 - Guests were allowed in at 3:45

@brockash #4538 - It was rough getting into the park at 4pm. It wasn't very crowded during fireworks.


RIDES (Note: No one posted what time they arrived at these rides.)

@urkalynne #4540 - Waited 20min. for SDMT.

@Disneylover99 #4550 - PoC & HM were 5min. waits and SM was walk on. (SM 2017 Refurbishment?)

EDIT: Waaay too much space!

We are going Sept 1-4 and really hope we can go to MNSSHP this year. My niece will be so pumped for this trip!!! can't wait.

The first party was awesome last year! Hope to be at the first party again this year, if there is an August date.

#4555 - Overall we had an amazing time! We were there from 3:45pm til just after 1am and boy did the night fly by. We did not find it crowded but it was busy.....just a hustle and bustle of people moving about really. Candy lines were long for most of the evening, but the lines move quickly so you never feel like you're waiting. There were lots of prime viewing spots for Wishes. We got an excellent spot five minutes before the second parade.
#4668 - We saw the last Hocus Pocus show at midnight and then we slowly made our way down Main Street so that my husband could stop at every Photopass place he could find. They closed the stores at about 12:30am but Starbucks was still open. Some Photopass people were still taking pictures as we left at 1am.
#4675 - We also bought exclusive pins before 5pm at the Big Top Souvenirs. There was already a long line.
#4797 - The line at Storybook Circus (Big Top Souvenirs) was longish just before 5pm, but it moved pretty fast. We waited about 15 minutes. The lines were longer there at 7/8pm but shorter later in the evening from what we could see.
#4876 - They (Big Top Souvenirs) had a special line just for party goers. You couldn't buy the exclusive pins without your wristbands. It was very organized.

Except I really didn't care who shot him! I DO care about the MNSSHP dates!

#4749 - There were lines everywhere at 4ish. We weren't going to wait over an hour for a meet and greet. It took us about 25 minutes to get through security so by the time we got in at 4:20pm there were huge lines for the popular characters. We got to the dwarfs at 7:15pm since we were doing rides before and they said it was about a two hour wait. We went back at 10:40pm and waited about 30 minutes.
#4752 - We tried to get the SotMK cards when we first got in at 4:20pm and was told to come back at 7pm. We didn't go until 9ish and we all got our cards. (Note: It was later reported SotMK were given out at 4pm.)
#4753 - Cruella was in Storybook Circus by the train station. We waited about 10 minutes at 11:20pm and we were the last group to see her. She ended at about 11:30pm.
#4755 - We waited until late to do character meets and to shop and we got all the merchandise we wanted. The line to buy pins was so long by 7:20pm. We went back at 10:30pm and there was barely a line. Not even 5 minutes.

Tidbits:
@famy27 #4578 - The candy was plentiful, with long lines in the beginning and short lines as the night went on. Ride lines were fairly short for most of the night. We did SDMT with a 20 minute wait at the end of the night.

@kennythepirate #4851 – (Halloween Mickey @ Town Square Theater) He did talk at the first party. My daughter chatted with him. (I believe talking Mickey changes @ 7pm)

I was also looking for September 2016 Park Hours & Firework Updates to give you a timeline as to when this will occur for 2017 either I needed more coffee at 3am or sleep but I believe you should see one sometime in August.

October Park Hours & Fireworks were updated Sept. 4, 2016 Link:
http://www.kennythepirate.com/2016/09/04/october-walt-disney-world-park-hours-updated/

However, even those new updates can/will change weeks prior to your trip and/or during your trip. I highly recommend checking MDE daily.
