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

Is the will call/guest services window separate? Because a couple of years ago we arrived a day earlier than our package started and on the phone they made it sound so simple to go to Guest Services at MK and they'll get it straightened out -- well it was simple once we go to the window, but the line was very very long.

Never mind.

Nope, same long line, but if your ticket connects to your MDE account, then there is no real reason to have the hard ticket because it will be attached to your Magic Band.

Got our MNSSHP tickets a little while ago! So excited! I called my husband and he's super excited! Now I need our September Star Wars dessert party date to open up so I can book that. That is all that is remaining on ours except adding Memory Maker. But waiting on that a little bit longer. Then next up, Fastpasses and online check-in woohoo!

I thought this could be taken care of at your resort with concierge.

You are right. I think it can be done there too.

You'll need to buy the non-discounted tickets. Then, if there are still discounted tickets available when you arrive, you might be able to ask for a price adjustment.

I just did my daily check of the WDW website and the party tickets are live for purchase (christmas party too.)
Halloween night is a hefty price compared to earlier months btw. But I guess that makes sense.

Landry wasn't clear on their exact details, so I just added info in case they intended to split up.

They can split up. An AP member does not have to stay with anyone they purchased the tickets for.

My tickets only have a scan bar and no numbers -- and the scan bar isn't being read by the app either. Add to that, and as pictured above, the dates on MDE are all wonky and dont match my tickets at all. I'm hoping this is a glitch that fixes itself and doesn't become a "go to guest services @ MK" issue.

Ha! Tickets have been available to purchase since early this morning. The thread has been buzzing like crazy.

i've found ticket issues they usually redirect to the park or other locations where guest services are.

Never had that happen. Concierge are magicians they can make anything happen!

Here is another great write-up about the parties with some tips for which days to go, etc. If the URL gets blocked it is from the Disney Tourist Blog.

Kenny's site is great. He is the go to person for both MNSSHP and MVMCP with where to find the characters. Disney's own maps will not show which character is where. His Character Locator app is well worth the $7.99 it will cost you.

I was staying at the Contemporary - they told me to go to MK and my god that line was long and hot.

I have never heard of this, otherwise an AP can stay home and buy tickets for their friends. I was informed that the policy is that the AP can bring up to x amount of guests and must be able to furnish proof upon entrance.

Btw, in case there is a misunderstanding, I meant split up as in attending different parties, entering park different times/dates.

Just bought my tickets for October 19! I opted for the hard ticket as there are 2 people who are going with me that have never been and really wanted the tickets! So happy and doing the happy dance!!!

When bite the bullet in a few days and buy ours I'm going to purchase the hard tickets! I want them as a keepsake for our scrapbook!!

You must have had an apprentice. You situation sounds unusual. You might just want to call and confirm once the dust settles. May I ask why you chose not to have the plastic tickets shipped?

I obviously can't keep up with you all! But excited to be there in October officially now

AP'ers can usually bring up to 3 additional guests (per AP card). So as long as DMIL is entering with one of you, she should be fine.

For my edification, has Disney posted this limit anywhere? I'm able to purchase up to 10 discounted adult and 10 child party tickets online for a single party date and there's no requirement for me to assign any of them to myself or to other passholders. The only statement I see on the website that addresses limitations on the discount is this:


Price for Passholders

Item(s) are priced for Passholders only. For room reservations, you must show a valid adult Passholder ID at Resort check-in.


There's no explicit requirement to show a valid AP for park entry.

When are you going? Our trip is for 10/9-10/14. I will post full review with pics after the trip.

We're going September 29 - October 7, and booked Sleepy Hollow for 8pm on October 6. So excited! I'll try to report back here as well!

Only 2 options I saw was "print at home" or "will call window" but I was on ipad so its possible I missed the lower half of the screen that had more options. And I wasn't going to will call window. LOL.
