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

[dfurst05]

I have been to the MNNSHP back in 1996 and we had a great time. After seeing the prices for the tickets this year I was a little sticker shocked. It will be myself and my adult daughter and her daughter who will be 4 at the time. Do you really think it is worth 350.00? My daughter said she thinks we should skip it but then my Granddaughter would not be able to trick or treat. It is our first trip in a long time and I don't think we will be going back for at least a few years so I am flip flopping. Should we just bite the bullet and go for it?

Not sure where you are staying but if you are staying on property but I believe all Disney resorts have trick or treating on Halloween night for resort guests so if you don't want to pay for a party ticket that may be a way to enjoy Halloween with your granddaughter. Someone can correct me if I am wrong though.

I've read that too, I was just thinking of going back to mention it and you beat me to it.

It's the wrong year but then nothings confirmed for this year yet and gives an idea of what you can find.

Also:- non party things to do around the parks

Thank you! Sounds like something she would enjoy!

We're going Nov 1st and had also planned to get in the J&S line right at 4. If they come out at 5 and we're at the front of the line I wonder if we'll have the chance for two FastPasses before we're cut off since some FPs were cancelled last year after 6?

I didn't see anyone respond, there are going to be people using regular park tickets who will start the line if you're only using party tickets you'll want to get to MK no later than 3:15 and make a mad dash to J&S. The closer you are to the front the better hopefully you'll be done in time for your 4:30-5:30 FP.

You might want to add to it that many of the party specific characters are not available continuously. The do sets and take breaks from meeting guests. Most notably Pooh and Friends who if I recall correctly meet for 1/2 hr then take 1/2 hr break. We waited in their line for 20 min and then bailed because it was SO slow and we found out they were going to take an extended break. Also Elena is now in Princess Fairytale Hall and Aurora got the boot so it is possible this year she may be the one meeting by City Hall (guest services) on Main Street not Snow White. She was the character there in 2015 but when she moved to Princess Fairytale Hall last year Snow White replaced her for the Halloween Party.

Thank you for this, but from my understanding there is no specific time set for Characters to take a break, it all has to do with the heat index and I'm unsure how to word it on my pdf but will explain it in the post. Here's the link I read:

All restaurants can handle parties of 7.

Thank you siskaren for responding but I have read others say that their party was separated and seated at different tables. I don't want this to happen to my family.

Can anyone else respond who have large families what restaurants they used that this didn't happen to?

Sorry don't want to offend anyone.

I've personally dined with a party of 8 (at one table) at both Tony's and H&V. I've also seen tables for large groups at most every restaurant I've frequented in WDW. Most places have movable tables, so they can combine multiple smaller ones if needed. The only place I can think of where this would NOT be possible is SciFi.

 

[MrTriPod]

Thank you Clueyless this is the response I was looking for!

 

[FoxC63]

I understand the question but have you made ADR's yet? Your window to securing them has been open for quite some time perhaps we can help if we knew where you're dining.

This is how people should respond. Again Thank you Cluelyss.

I'm confused, do you have ADR's? I think siskaren was trying to help.

So pretty much, yeah they just didn't list all the available rides. Just some. That's fine with me!

 

[MrTriPod]

Yes, my daughter-in-law made ADR's but I wanted to know if we could sit together as a family without being separated they are not on the dining plan and we are. They are also staying at a different hotel. Our daughter-in-law made the reservations for me and the Mrs. If we add them can we sit together?

I think you should just call and see what they have to say here's the number: (407) 939-3463

The September Star Wars Dessert Party is LIVE!

Oops! here's the WDW link:
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/hollywood-studios/galactic-dessert-party/

Just saying, this is the second time Disney released something and both times I did not not receive an email notice. I signed up with several, did any one get a notification?

 

[FoxC63]

Now that September SW Dessert Party is listed on Disney's website I hope to see the Hallowishes Dessert Party as well!

I'm so on the fence on doing this or not - esp since most of the benefit for us will be just to get a good spot for the fireworks/show.

If there are 7 people in the party, and the ADR is for 7, the restaurant doesn't care if you're all staying in 7 different hotels, paying with 7 different dining plans, or 7 different cash transactions. A dining reservation for 7 will accommodate 7 people. The only caveat is that you will be charged an automatic 18% gratuity because your party is over 6 people, even if you break the party of 7 up into smaller checks.
