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

[Wanna be Ariel]

Wonder what they will price Nov 1st at?

I wish we could buy tickets now! I'm so excited!! This will be my family's first party and we are hardcore Halloween lovers. I can't wait to starting hearing from all of you lucky ducks with early party dates. I think we'll attending on Oct 19.

You'll love it! Christmas is so over saturated and Halloween isn't but when you do find people or places into it can get a little too intense. MNSSHP is great for everyone

I get it that people are excited about MNSSHP for August..... but am I the only one that thinks celebrating Halloween in August is just crazy!
Anything before mid Sept is just way too early for me! just my opinion!

I totally get that but this will be my first time at WDW for the Halloween season and I'm so excited to experience it that I don't care when it is! Sure, I'm going to go back home to normal non-Halloween decorations for another month after my trip but it will be worth the weirdness!

So just clarifying in my head... If you have a party ticket, do you have to wait until 7pm to enter or can you do it at 4?

I have a costume question for all of you experienced MNSSHP folks!

The costume I have in mind will include a knee (ish) length skirt that might be wool, a button up dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, a vest, and a newsboy cap. I'll be attending the party on 9/1 and this is my first MNSSHP and my first time in Orlando in early September. My question is- will I be too hot in all of that?? I'm trying to find a lighter weight fabric for the skirt and as light as possible for the vest and shirt but I've heard it's still pretty hot and humid at that time even in the evenings.

4:00 pm, all non-party ticket holders have to leave by 7:00

i personally wouldn't wear wool. not a breathable fabric at all. i think you can be ok going with a short sleeve cotton shirt and cotton vest. they also make these shirts that have faux vests as part of it so its not 2 layers.

Thoughts on attending either Sunday Oct 29th or Wednesday Nov 1st?? Which do you think would have lower crowds, if either?

 

[ErinsMommy]

IMO 'after' Halloween is not as fun as 'before' - no matter how far 'before' it is.

Created an account just to come here and talk about how excited I am! The wife and I will be attending our first MNSSHP during our trip in October. We're seasoned park goers, but this will be the first hard-ticket event we've attended. Can't wait to see the costumes everyone puts together!

I saw the tweet appear on my phone as "Here are the dates for this year's Mickey's..." and I practically screamed.
I'll be at the 24th and 26th parties. I have the Headless Horseman event on 29th. I just need Club Villain to return to tick off all the events I wanted to attend this trip. So excited.

No way would I wear wool. Early September will still be in the 90s and extremely humid. Combine that with the typical passing showers, and...ew.

I would think that Nov1st would be lower. I remember a few years back we went on 11/1 and it was amazing. We left with sooooo much candy it was crazy. And the crowds were really light.

So now that the dates have officially been announces, when is everyone's party date?!? Our is October 24th. Can't WAIT!!!!!

October 27th!!! So excited!

 

[CAHarwell]

Hi there! Excited to see the announcement finally! Looking for opinions on which date to choose. Flight lands at 3:15 on 10/6. We could go that night or 10/9. Leaving 10/10. I wasn't sure if EMH at MK on 10/6 (not sure if this is accurate) would have any impact on the party. Or if 10/9 being a holiday would have any impact on the party that day.

We always try to go on our last night! That way we can party the night away and then sleep in a bit the next morning before we check out.

Very happy to see I was wrong about August dates!! Now the page reads "Halloween Fun Awaits at an After-Dark Event in Magic Kingdom Park!"

SOOOOO Fun!!

My mom and step dad are taking my wife and I and my three young siblings (15, 14, and 11) in September and as a thank you for the trip my wife and I are buying the tickets to MNSSHP for the whole family. We will be going 9/17.

Is there any way to get a party map or other promotional material before a party? I want to give them to my siblings as a fun way to tell them about the party as us going is to be a surprise for them.

I'm open to other ideas as well as to how to break the news - so if you are creative I'd love to hear what you think.

YEAH - 9/10 & 9/12!!! Here we come.......

Maybe you can print the announcement of data page and highlight the date you'll be attending and make a "You're invited" card.
