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

[Zakery]

This may have been asked but I am worried that if I show up after 4 but before 7 that entry will take off one of my days. I have 6 days in the park and also purchased the party ticket. Do I have to do or say anything to make sure I don't lose a day?

Thank you; you really make it all sound amazing!

I think just looking at all the costumes and the decorations will be a party unto itself. I've never seen more than a handful of aduls in costume at any given time before, and it sounds like a lot of people really put a lot of effort and creativity into their ensembles.

I like a parade, but I don't need to be front and center to enjoy it. Ditto for fireworks. And I enjoy seeing the characters but unless it's at a character meal and they come to us I don't care about "meeting" them.

We love the rides, and we love candy, and I think we're really going to enjoy the atmosphere and the environment.

I feel very reassured that we're going to have a great time without a plan! Thank you!

We never have a real plan for the party! We ride whatever we want, grab some candy and just enjoy the atmosphere. The only thing we plan is which parade we want to watch, and even that is really decided when we actually get there.

The characters aren't a priority for us.

How are the wait times for 7DMT on party nights?

In case you can't tell I'm super proud of this craft.

You SHOULD be proud! I thought it was a professionally made costume! I can't believe it was your first garment sewing project!

It looks like we may be changing our costumes.

We were going to go as "Ghoat Tourist from the 90s"

But we're so busy right now that we're thinking about doing "Pizza Planet Workers" instead.

How many parties sold out last year, just the 30th and 31st? I'm just wondering how cautious I have to be about a specific date that I'm trying to attend selling out.

I read that this year 7DMT will not be open during the party.

Does anyone know if you can still enter the party before 7pm? I was hoping to make dining reservations around 4:30 or 5pm but want to make sure I can get into the park without using one of my days.

Any opinions on how the new parade times will affect crowds? DW and I have reservations for the Hallowishes Dessert Party(still tempted to cancel due to loss of parade viewing) on Friday 9/20 with a 9:15 check-in time. Obviously we won't be able to watch the first parade, so now I am wondering how far in advance we will have to snag a spot for the second.

I have seen the parade many times on trips with DD but this is my wife's first Halloween party so a good spot for the parade is a must. I guess we could get her a spot for the first parade and then I could go and check us in for the dessert party. It is just the two of us so rides and character meets are not a priority at all so I may be over thinking things. The parade, the fireworks and the Hocus Pocus show are musts followed by getting Magic Shots and possibly HM and the Treehouse are all we really want to do other than crowd watch and a little trick or treating.

Enter through the tapstiles marked for the party and you should be fine. Ask while doing that if it eases your concern.

Almost certainly.

At first it wasn't on the list for open attractions but it's on there now.

If you get in line for a ride by 12:00am, will you get to ride it or do they just stop everything at midnight? We couldn't get earlier FPs for 7DMT, so I'm thinking about doing it last-minute.

Do the trick-or-treat stations stay open right up until 12:00? Do you think the candy lines will be fairly short after 11:00?

We are not big parade and fireworks people. We've been satisfied with catching 3rd row glimpses of the parades in the past and just viewing the fireworks from wherever we happen to be when they happen. Are this parade and these fireworks so special that we should make the effort to view them properly?

Thanks everyone!

We aren't parade people either, but we enjoy Boo To You. It's cute and it doesn't feel long. Watch it from Liberty Square or Frontierland, those will be the easiest places to get a spot. I'm betting the second parade will be even easier to get a spot for.

The Haunted Mansion is the only must-ride for my family during MNSSHP. I was wondering if anyone can give me a ballpark estimate as to what the wait time is usually like. I realize that it probably depends on the hour, the date, and other variables.
We're going on a Tuesday in October, and I'm hoping to hit The Haunted Mansion around 7:15 or 7:30, if that helps.

Yeah the second parade is easier. When we went two years ago we were able to get a spot right on Main Street near Town Square Theatre after the fireworks and we were near the castle so we had to walk a little bit.

You should be able to get right on HM at that time. By 7, day guests are gone and the gung ho party guests are lining up to visit characters.

Thanks for the help! We're all MNSSHP newbies, and we've only booked 1 party, so I'm trying to plan it out.

From what I've read, the first BTY parade begins at 8:30, and starts in Frontierland. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes for the parade to wrap up on Main Street?

What day are you going? Some of the times are loaded for the parades, etc. - the parade looks to be at 9:15 and 11:15.
