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

Did you get an email from Disney with the shipping info? Did you pay for the express shipping?

Yes, I got an email and I paid for express.

Just bought two tickets for Tuesday, October 10! So excited...first time at the party for me!!! Should my tickets appear in MyDisneyExperience? I don't see them.

This is our date as well! Maybe we will run into each other!

We saw the Dwarfs when they had Snow White years ago and I can't remember if we received a signed card. I know they took her out though not sure when, but is this just a shoot and go? They don't offer signed cards?

No cards from the dwarfs.

And we DID get a card from the Pooh gang last year.

Oooh cool. For Tamatoa maybe a bluey/purple t-shirt and shorts and stick/sew gold pieces on shoulders and back and shorts and possibly a head band with feelers on?

I love Tamatoa! Ive been thinking about a disney bound using a shiny gold backpack with stuff glued on, eyestalk headband and purple blue tie dye top.

Sounds doable. My wife is the crafty one so maybe with her help I can work this out. Thank you both for the suggestions. Shiny backpack would be cool and also helpful for extra candy storage!
So far only shirt I've found is this one.

I wouldn't say avoid it at all costs, but I would say that there is a strong likelihood the party on the 24th will sell out. That said, MNSSHP is still a hard ticket event and there are still going to be less people in the park than your average day at MK. However, as @ErinsMommy said a sold out party will have more people at the parades, longer lines, and less spots at fireworks/shows. If you plan around those things being busier you can make a sold out party work.

I haven't ever been to a party myself so what I am telling you is based off of what I have read about other people's experiences. A lot of people say that at sold out parties, the main areas of the party can feel very congested, but other areas of MK feel just completely empty. It sounds like a lot of the area around the party activities are full of people and the rest of MK is quiet.

This. I've done sold out parties and non sold out parties. While the wait times for rides were short at both, the special events (characters, parades, fireworks) are crowded at both, as those are the main draws. The difference is that a sold out party will be PACKED on main street / the hub, while a non sold out party has marginal breathing room. Though with a good plan, you'll be fine whatever party you choose to do. There are still a limited number of tickets sold, and less people than on a regular park day. Have fun!!

I'm sure this has already been asked, but this thread is already so long! How early do you think the 11/1 Halloween party will sell out? I'm still undecided about heading down before my family, but the party is the main reason I want to so I'd hate to miss it!

Even Halloween itself has never sold out earlier than August (and I think early October is more typical) - you'll be fine to wait a few months.

My hard tickets are shipped and I will be receiving them tomorrow. So excited! Now I have to remember to bring them with me onto the trip.

How do you know that your tickets have shipped? Did they send you an email? Just curious because I had my tickets shipped and haven't a clue when I will be getting them?

Yes, they emailed me with a tracking number and approximate delivery date. It says May 12 but I am expecting Monday.

Is the hub grass open during the fireworks or is it only for the dessert party or something?

 

[DisneyToni]

now you get to plan costumes and post photos!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I guess we can be added to the 1st post. This trip is going to be a surprise for my kids, so now I have to plan costumes without their input. After some Google searchings, I think going as Crayola crayons would work for our group.

But I might continue exploring some options.

It is open during HalloWishes and you can usually even sit on the grass and still have a great view. Many people assume it is for special viewing during the parties like on regular nights, but it is not.

We are actually going the day before on our arrival day. For party day we plan on hanging out at the resort. Late morning breakfast at Kona and just swim and relax and adjust to time change.

I just asked my toddler what costume she wants to wear and she kept saying snow white so guess we will bring two costumes lol. On the plus side I have a dark purple and black dress so can be the evil queen. Figure husband can just wear khaki shorts and a green shirt a be the huntsman. Easy enough lol.

OMG! This sounds perfect! Oh, please post pictures!

I need to read through this thread (silly work, ruining my DiS time!) but just wanted to pop in! I'm so excited - I'm surprising my mother with MNSSHP tickets for the October 15 date on Mother's Day!

Has anybody called and gotten any good info on the MDE errors with wrong year showing on some of the party dates (looks like September ones are the problem)? Mine is still showing wrong date and year on app and not showing at all on computer. I haven't bothered calling since my confirmation email is correct, I'm just curious if anyone has any news.

I called but was just told that they realize that there are issues and they should be taken care of in a few days.

Thanks for the info. As long as it's acknowledged, then I'm sure they will get around to fixing it eventually.

Apologize if this has been posted already, may have missed it. Crowd projections for 2017

The characters that draw extremely long lines at parties (J&S, Dwarfs, Pooh & friends) don't sign, because that would make their lines take even longer. J&S and Pooh & friends give you a pre-signed card.

Really? Glad I saw this!

Interestingly enough I still have the wrong year. But now one of my park hopper tickets on mde changed to be in some random other name instead of my own which it had previously been in until today.
