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

Because the system doesn't understand intent. It just sees, for example, 6 days of FP+ booked on a 5 day ticket. Therefore what it will do is remove the last day because it's a 6th day on a 5 day ticket.

I get it but the poster I quoted made it sound like the party day FP+ would be deleted and that's not the case unless your party day is your last day.

The info you gave makes it sound like the party ticket day of FP+ will be deleted but that is apparently not the case. People are saying that their last day of FP+ is being deleted and its not their party day.

Well what I meant was 3 FPs will be deleted. I guess it depends on how the system reads it.

I think it's good the way the system seems to read it now, because if it knew how to delete only the fastpasses for your party tickets more people would book them taking the risk they might be deleted.

Meanwhile that takes away advance fastpasses from people who are actually entitled to them.

People won't chance their park ticket fastpasses getting deleted instead.

True.

I go as a party guest some nights, and park guest only on most days.

I think Disney is doing a good job trying to be fair to both guests.

IDK I'm risking it lol.

I didn't personally read it that way, but I also wanted to be sure others understood that if they have those hard to get FP on their last day to cancel any party ones if they are worried.

I'd love to get a perspective of how many people have been affected by the MNSSHP FP+ booking issue.
Can I get a head count or something

I had zero issues booking FP+ with party tickets only. My window opened today. There was actually nothing available after 5:30 earlier today when I checked. It would let you book a 3:00 start. So we'll see. It's hard to get more than 2 because of overlap.

It's not a BOOKING FP+ issue. Most people have been able to book the FP+ with no problem. The problem occurs when the system finally catches up and sees you have more days of FP+ booked then you have tickets. That's when it starts to cancel whatever your last day is.

What Disney needs to do is stop it at the booking time. The system shouldn't let you do it in the first place. Once again, they are behind the eight ball on this one and reacting to something instead of just fixing it.

OK. I want to know who has had their last day of FP+ deleted.....

@MissMaryQC did, and there have been others further back in the thread.

That was the point of my post I wanted to know who/how many were affected

It just seems that there is so much confusion with regular park ticket FP and party FP. I see both sides to each story but Disney needs to clarify what is allowed and not!!

 

[DisneyChris2016]

OK, another question... (not that I think anyone really knows the answer yet)

My party day is Aug.25. I have one other park day, Aug.27. If the system decides to cancel my FP+ for the 27th, would I still be able to use the FP+ I have booked for the party day? Or will the system recognize that I have entered the park with a party ticket and cancel those FP+ too, essentially causing me to lose ALL of my FP+? I have the e-mail saying I am entitled to them, so I don't feel like I'm trying to cheat the system. I just don't feel like spending hours in Guest Services trying to get it sorted if things go wrong once I'm there.

I haven't gotten an email warning like that yet, but I just realized that in my group of 11, of the 3 people with MDE accounts:

1) Myself; have a spare ticket assigned to me so technically I do have more ticket media available than I have FP days reserved
2) my CM friend; he has a Main Entrance Pass and so technically has more valid media available than he has FP days reserved
3) my brother, who only has a 6-day Park Hopper + MNSSHP ticket. Has 6 + 1 Party day worth of FP booked.

AFAIK neither of us have received an email warning, yet.

Decided to cancel my 3:30-4:30 party day FP to see if that helps? The others we have are 4:30-5:30 and 5:30-6:30.

Aren't they sending out emails now?

From what I've read one poster got an email warning them.

But my party tickets are the only tickets on my MDE. So I don't know why it would let me book at all if it wasn't supposed to be.

Any tips you have would be much appreciated! I haven't done face paint/make up before, so I'm new to this but I figure this is a good reason to try!

I use mehron AQ paradise makeup seamist green is probly close to maleificent as ya can get. You put a layer of it on let it dry then put another layer on using makeup sponges. I then use transculcent powder over it and graftobian setting spray. The spray you will definitely need its what makes it stay on thru sweat and heat. To take it off you can use MAC makeup off oil or liquid soap but it takes about an hour with soap. Takes me about 20 or so wasclothes to get it all off.

This video has someone doing it with cheaper makeup and all, I used it to get ideas:

So you were able to book FP with just your party tickets?

I think based on everything going on with FPs you will lose them.

I think you need a PARK ticket used for park entry to use FPs.

Although I am wondering if maybe your Aug 25 FPs could be moved to Aug 27. ??? But they have dates assigned to them, no?

I've been there on halloween 4 times now, your gonna wanna be on the bus line by 3:15 or so to get there for 4pm shoild have no issue entering they have tons of turnstyles its the bus wait that gets ya.

Thanks to everyone who addressed my question! I really appreciate it.

We actually will have a car. My husband's a little bit of a control freak with transportation and always wants to rent a car there. So we'll be driving.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if someone of us wind up taking the bus back...but that's a different thing.
