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

[SWofDisorder]

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post links, but I think this is ok. TP has estimated crowds for the Halloween parties from least to most busy. The August 25th party turned out to be VERY busy, but I think it was the first time they've done a party that early and it was a CM discount night (I think), so maybe TP didn't take those things into account. Anyway, Sunday, October 1st is ranked as number 21 (1 being the least busy, 32 being the most busy). Tuesday, October 3rd (that's the day I'm going!) is number 13.

Super, we can go on the 3rd also so the choice is easy. Thank you so much for your help. I will use the AP discount and plan on not getting to rope drop the next day.

Just so you know in the future, you can post links. Some websites are however blocked so they show up with stars like this **** through the main part of the address. If that happens, that means the link is censored, otherwise I think most people are totally okay with extra information!

I really wanted the mystery pin box and we will be there Sept 10th and Sept 15th, I hope they kept some back to sell....

at least both of my parties are in the top 10 of least crowded....

I would agree that the Tuesday will probably be less busy.

So they pulled the Mystery Pin Boxes last night because of sorting issues from the first party (people were buying many boxes and getting the same pins, they were not packed "randomly"). One manager said they were sent to the vendor to be re-sorted and when they return, we can show proof of party entry and buy them during the day. Since all of these are made in China, we are not quite sure what "return to vendor" means... If the manager was just telling us something, to make us go away, or if they really do expect the mystery pin boxes to return.

Did anyone else hear anything?

This is crazy! But I did see someone post about buying a bunch of boxes and getting the same 2 pins in all of them.

Disney really is a mess about the merch this year between this and the Hocus Pocus stuff!

What is the mystery pin box?

So the only thing that changed at last night's party was Moana?

So what is the list of early characters now?

Jack and Sally: is it 5:45?
Moana: 5:45
7 Dwarves: ?

My apologies if this has already been mentioned. I would LOVE to be able to get the Jack dessert, but I'm hearing that it's selling out quickly. Does anyone know if any of the special desserts (HM Treats included) might be available BEFORE 7pm? TIA!

I don't know about before 7:00, but we got one at Sleepy Hollow at 9:02pm and then saw the headless horseman while my daughter was eating it. (8/29)

Sorry if this was already discussed but didn't see it... was anyone at both the first 2 Halloween events and can comment on how different crowds were?

 

[1GoldenSun]

So there were no reports of desserts selling out last night? Did anyone say what time they were let in?

I have used this list in the past and I find it useful, *but* it's important to point out that it is based solely on *ride wait times*, since that is the only thing posted by Disney. It is not based on any information about the number of people attending, waits for characters or how early you have to get a spot for parade, shows and fireworks. FYI, last year, only Halloween sold out in advance.

really wanted to do dwarfs meet and greet but the line just looks so long - even if you get there for 5pm - they dont come out until 6.15pm.

might skip it and just do winnie the pooh instead - what is the line like for that?

Is it correct that they dont come out until 7pm?

Going to the party on Friday. If we wanted to make it towards the front of the line at MK for 4pm entry what time should we get to the TTC? 3pm?

Also is anyone else going on Friday that wants to go in on a one day MM?

 

[SPUNKYSHADOE]

Is anyone willing to go in on a one day memory maker for Friday.

I am but I have no clue how this works

 

[sharpemom]

Does anybody have a recommended touring plan during the party? What time should we get in line for Jack Skellington?

Yes, at 7. I'd line up no later than 6:30.

You'll want to get in line for J&S ASAP! I'd go there first thing and line up.

You have to link your MDE accounts. One of you purchases the MM, then everyone who is linked can use it. All the pics will show up on both accounts, but only the person who purchased will have the download option (or at least that's how it worked last time I did it). I have done this in the past with my sister, so no issues. The risk with a stranger is, you have access to each other's FP and ADR and something could accidentally get updated/deleted.
