"Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

[anneboleyn]

Prior to attending MNSSHP, one of the weirdest/unusual things I've ever seen on Halloween night was a woman driving her SUV while her preteen son was trick or treating. This was in my neighbor hood.

Oh that is really common where I am from! I grew up in farm country and the neighbors were about a mile away so we always had to have be driven there We didn’t actually go trick or treating in town until I was about 9!

Each treat place has a finite number of boxes of candy for the parties. Once the supply is gone they have to borrow from other areas, which is hard because other areas don't know how much they will go through. They are dropped off a few palates of candy backstage and it's there for the season with another delivery later on.

In the first few parties the candy is given out sparingly and it they try to establish how many boxes they go through a night.

CM are told to give out 3-4 pieces of candy per guest. Some CM give more if you are nice and some give quests with really cool costumes a good amount of candy.

There is no limit to the amount of times you can go through a treat location so go multiple times if you want more.

I can see that. We live in a subdivision. Parents dress up and walk with their kids but only the kids go up to the door. When it's uber cold we set up hot cocoa & coffee stations, most bring out their fire pits and sit in lawn chairs in front of the sidewalks to pass out candy.

Not sure why the parents don't come to the door. Personally I wouldn't mind it. If your dressed up ring my bell but you must say the magic words "Trick or Treat!".

Are you a CM?

Are you a CM?

I was. I was in charge of a very busy treat trail for 3 years.

Never mind! Two dance parties it is!

Oh man, I agree! I waltz right up to the door with my daughter when we go trick or treating...but it is really only because I like to look inside people’s houses and it is slightly more acceptable and a little less creepy when you are escorting your kid to get candy lol

*I mean this in a non-creeper way lol. I just like to see how people decorate because I am not good at decorating.

I have always gotten handfuls but we usually hit it at the very end

Yeah, it can vary CM to CM, but we typically make out pretty well toward the end of the party, with some giving two handfuls at a time.

So if I'm understanding the allergy thing right... I'll get an allergy-friendly bag (which I think last year was teal - maybe it's always that?)...is there one location where you get the bags or do you just get them at the first station you go to? And then the CM will give me a token that I can take to one of two centers to exchange once I'm done doing the ToT thing? And at the centers there will be a chart where I select (based on availability obviously) something for each token I have?

Buddy, we need to Trick or Treat with you!

Guests with food allergies can get a special teal bag that will designate them as having an allergy (teal is the color that represents food allergy awareness). These bags can be picked up at the Main Entrance, Liberty Square Ticket Office, Town Square Theater or any of the trick or treat locations.

Does anybody think there will be any new character meet and greets this year? I wouldn't be surprised if someone from The Incredibles (like Edna Mode) joined the party.

Buddy, we need to Trick or Treat with you!

Haha! We'll be there Sept. 23 if you want to join us! CM's may be a bit generous with candy because my DD is young and so excited to ToT at the party, maybe it helps boost their Halloween spirit. That and we stay until the bitter end to ToT and ride rides!

I'm kinda thinking they might change a few character locations. I'm still on the fence where the new dance party will be held, where exactly in Storybook Circus? I posted a few options but no one responded. The crowd level might be intense.

I would love to see Edna Mode!

 

[FoxC63]

Which WDW resort?

Wilderness lodge?

Yes, provided it's still going to happen. This is the point I made a while ago, Disney currently has the new dance party featured on their website but not the Scream. Again I'm wondering if they'll have both or just the new one.

The Scream dance party is still on there.

Attend the Scream-o-Ween Dance Party
Dare to scare on Halloween in 2018 as you kick up your feet with Mike, Sulley and other favorite friends from Monstropolis.

I wouldn't hope for more than one. Most years characters get dropped and not added.

New additions in recent years were Moana and the return of the Tweedles.

I could see Edna, but I'd prefer a villain.

 

[FoxC63]

Wilderness lodge?

You Win!

 

[FoxC63]

Never mind I see it! Crazy that they put it down there and not grouped with the other dance party!

I must be overthinking too much to! Thank you for pointing that out to me!
