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

[MeghanTy]

O.M.G. That is awwwwfull. Hope you are feeling better.

As for why I am not waiting to buy tickets, I don't have the luxury of picking a party night. There is only one night I can go. So it's that or nothing.

I am feeling much better! Today it feels like nothing ever happened. I think it was buying the tickets to MNSSHP that cured me. ;-)

My husband always says "This is why we live where the air hurts our faces." (Minnesota)

My mother is from Pennsylvania and swears she had never encountered such pests (snakes, gators and scorpions) until moving down South. lol

Yes.
You do have to link the two MDEs first in order to assign and reassign the tickets. When I bought my tickets, I had already assigned them to my second MDE. I linked the two MDEs as family and friends. Then I reassigned the tickets back to my first MDE.

Thank you so much! I was able to link both accounts this morning (I wasn't able to figure it out yesterday), and while the tickets still don't show anywhere but in my email, I'm more confident now that this is an easy fix that won't involve any other nonsense.

GO Minnesota!!

I visited Texas for a week in high school one summer. The first morning I was there I found a scorpion crawling around in my bag. I was shocked, and I showed the family I was staying with, and they picked up the piece of clothing the scorpion was on, walked to the bathroom, and flushed it down the toilet. They weren't even fazed!!

Glad you are doing okay.

That is how I am with gators and snakes. I just kind of shrug and walk around. So I can understand the family's lack of alarm. But this was my very first run in with a scorpion and hopefully my last!

I was reading through the budget board and I saw you can get 5 $100 Disney gift cards from BJs for $474.95. Free shipping no membership required. Just thought I'd pass the info on!

If Kroger is in your area and you have Chase Freedom try this one:

Disney gift card=$500
Chase Freedom 5% cash back for grocery stores this month=$25
2,000 fuel points this weekend-if you use 35 gallons each fill up x2=$70 savings

Potential benefits for buying a $500 Disney card=$95 back in cash and fuel savings

You can also use the Costco CC for 3% back on the fuel purchase. I've tried to buy a Kroger gift card for the fuel to get another 5% back on the fuel cost but have not been successful at using Kroger gift cards at their gas pumps.

How do you even get used to gators and snakes?? A roach, spider and gecko has me climbing chairs screaming for DH to come save me.

You are much tougher than I am, that's for sure. The snakes we have here aren't even poisonous and I am so afraid!!

Hopefully they won't have any snakes or scorpions at WDW. Otherwise it will become Mickey's SO VERY SCARY Halloween Party!!

They have snakes at WDW for sure. When we were at POFQ there was a bunch of CMs huddled in a small area and we walked by and asked what was going on - apparently they were trying to 'trap' a snake. I left quickly.

It will TRULY earn the name "Mickey's SO VERY SCARY Halloween Party!" lmao that is for SURE.

I guess we will have to cancel our whole vacation then.

I agree with your post about roaches/spiders/etc. I won't even get into the stories about roaches from when I used to work in property management.....

Got our party tickets for 9/26 with DVC discount. Did the print at home option and date looks good. Not showing on MDE though. Tried to manually input but says they are already linked and assigned. Hmm.

Super excited though! This is our first party and decided to give it a go since its the last year the little will be free. We are not huge halloween fans but enjoy it. My daughters favorite movie right now is snow white so debating the line for the dwarfs. Any advice for them?

Oh wow! I just saw your ticket I can't believe I missed it. I think this thread was moving so quickly. I've never seen or heard anything like this before.

Yeah that's what I have, checked today and still the same but as everyone has said the email confirmation was correct, and hopefully won't be long before it's all sorted.

Now that I finally was able to buy my tickets I don't know what to do with myself. This was one of the last pieces of the puzzle we were waiting to fall into place - most of all our other planning is already done. I guess the only thing left is FastPass+ research and trying to decide which ones our family wants for each park.

Idk if I'm ready to go down that rabbit hole.....

I'm in the same boat (unless Club Villian comes along) although I know roughly when I want my FP it'll be whether I get what I want.

I must be in the minority here... but I am not buying our tickets until we are there or a few days before.... My reasoning is we have 3 possible party dates, none of which are likely to sell out... Sept 7, 10 or 12. I want to see the forecast! I would hate to pick a date now, have horrible weather that day and great weather the other party days that I COULD have picked if I had just waited til closer to time. Is there a reason no one else seems to be doing this?

I wanted to do two parties, I only have two parties to do those dates on. Every other day is working around other shows, ADR's and avoiding Universals HHN when I go there. If it rains/gets cancelled I won't be able to do anything about it. (I have one day that if a cancellation did happen I could cancel other plans and have the party instead if it was not sold out day). It's also another thing done off my trip list.

Just got our tickets for Oct. 12th. This will be our 3rd MNSSHP, and we can not hardly wait!!! Now to decide what to wear . Anybody already have their costumes picked out?

Can someone summarize purchase options. I would like to receive hard tickets. It sounds like if you buy them through MDE you only get the code and paper tickets? I bought two years ago through MDE and still received hard tickets. I do have a TA so I can purchase that way in order to get hard tickets if that's the only way. Thanks!

Yesterday I only saw 2 options: print at home or will call window. Others reported being able to have them mailed. I would go with the mail option because the print at home was an issue, the app shows 2016 and has the wrong date entirely, and the MDE on the website doesn't show them at all. When I called to ask what was going on they said "IT is working on it, systems are updating".

Bought mine online yesterday and had the option to receive a hard ticket via USPS, no extra cost.

Case in point how screwy IT remains. *le sigh*

@ErinsMommy - I think maybe it has to do with what way you purchased your tickets. Didn't you say you bought them on an iPad? Did you use the app on iPad or through the browser?

I ordered mine on a laptop through the Chrome browser and the default options were either print at home or will call. I had to click "see more ticket options" or something to that effect and then the option to have them shipped was available at no additional cost.

Disney is going to try to get customers to choose delivery methods in the following order:

A. Print at home
B. Will Call
C. Mail

Because this is the most cost effective way for them to deliver tickets as a business. Email doesn't cost them hardly anything. Will call they still have to create tickets but they don't have to pay the cost to mail them. Mail they have to create tickets and then also pay to send them in the mail.

So that is why they probably try and hide the option as much as possible - but it is there! You just have to know where to look.

I was able to have them mailed. It's a $15 charge for domestic, $25 for international. Domestic will be mailed after 5/15, and I believe international was 5/25.

(I used Firefox for Mac when I purchased, all options were there in plain sight.)
