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

[disneysophie]

I bought my ticket for a specific date in the beginning of October. Why can't I make fast pass reservations for that day? Do I have to wait until the 30 day mark or is no fastpass reservation available for the parties?

If you have an onsite hotel reservation, you can book FP 60 days out. Otherwise, it's 30 days out as usual.

60 days isn't here yet for October, but when you're ready to book (whether at 60 or 30 days), book all your non-party day FPs first, then go back and do your party FPs. There are posts here and on other Disney boards that people have no been about to book party FPs until they have allocated all of their regular ticket days first.

Fastpasses are not available during the party. However, you can book them between 4 and 6:30 that day if you are not planning to book FPs in another park that morning.

I am so excited!! Reading this thread, talking to coworkers and watching YouTube....this party sounds awesome!!!
I am in my mid 50s and have only been to Disney 3x....my last visit was this past May....and now I get to go a 2nd time in 1 year!!
I am running my 1st 5K at Disney!! we had planned on driving the 8+ hours on Nov 1st........then we realized there was a MNSSHP that night...so, we booked early morning flights (fingers crossed no delays!!).

I do have a question ...and if I've missed this somewhere on the thread, I apologize for the repeat. I know I have tons of time but, I enjoy the months of planning too!!

What time do the character meet & greets typically stop? will they continue til midnight? if so, how were the lines say after 11:00? TIA

Hi, I'm in my mid-50's too, and I can't wait! Hope you have a wonderful time at the party!

Finished DD's costume this week. Found the idea on line and fell in love with it. Still waiting on a skull pin I ordered for the shoulder and I ordered a wig I think will match a bit better. It's longer and I plan on trying to style it in an updo and adding lights. Can everyone tell who she's supposed to be?

I will be 47 when I go and I will enjoy every minute. When your children don't want to travel with their "mommie", us mommies deserve a great vacation alone!!! This will be my 4th solo and can't wait to meet characters, ride the rides and eat!!!

Definitely looks like a Lady Hades to me. Awesome job!

I managed to book Cinderellas royal table for our trip but the reservation is 7pm the night of our Halloween party tickets. We figure anything that happens at 7 we can see again later. Any thoughts on if we should cancel or attend?

Quick question. We are going to the first Halloween Party on August 25th. So we will be able to report back on any changes from previous years. This is the first time we have gone to the MNSSHP. One question we have is what time does the party exclusive merchandise go on sale? Do we have to wait until 7pm or does it go on sale prior to 7pm? Just trying to develop a touring plan strategy and was wondering what we can get done prior to 7pm other than a couple of meet and greets.

I would guess "Meg" based on the cut of the dress and shoes...? She's adorable, regardless!

To get the most from CRT, it takes quite awhile for the Princesses to make their way around, at least 90 minutes to get the most of the experience. (Also, check in and photos take time, too). I can't see missing 2/5's of the party to do that.

I would schedule that for another day or night, or another trip.

What a beautiful dress!!! Love the shoes too!!! You'll make an awesome female Hades

Close, female hades.

Even better!

My kids were little when "Hercules" came out and we got to meet Meg and Hercules and Hades at the parks.

I hope she has a great time in her cool costume.
