Character list uninspired, Elvis stitch is the only new if that list is correct.

Nothing like taking the villains out of Halloween.

Anyone figure out who got cut yet?

I thought it interesting Anastasia and Drizella is on the list, like last year they were just roaming. Cannot confirm they were at every party. I reached out to a lot of people trying to find out their location and those that responded didn't even see them during the party. Hmmm, just not sure about this one.

Grace period is not guaranteed on party nights. It's been that way for years, it's up to the ride CM.

Is the automatic grace period disabled at a certain time?

 

[FoxC63]

Awesome. Thanks. We plan to head straight her location when we get in at 4 pm. I am treating my wife to the spa hair & makeup package (character culture), and she has a Merida costume. So really hoping we can meet her.

@RJstanis is correct you should be able to meet her during regular park hours up to 6pm. She was not on my 2017 Character List for the party.

You and yours will have a great time with her!

I know I posted this info before with a link. I'm currently in Disneyland and trying to catch up. On the Fastpass thread I believe by @mesaboy2 , he recommends that you do not rely on it. CM's will access the lines. They're trying to get the day guests out of the park which is what we all should want. It's up to the Ride CM to make that call. I don't know what time that all starts but do yourself a favor, don't rely on it especially on a party night.

 

[FoxC63]

Just wanted to confirm to you all,

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is OPEN during party hours!!!

Thanks @ejdmomma

NOOOOOO!!!!! Buddy, I'm so sorry. What a drag. Hope you were able to get it taken care of.

Yeah got it taken cared of. Just lost one as the CM wouldn't allow more than two so kept 7DMT and Big Thunder. I should have went with Peter Pan know that Big Thunder will be open.

Glad that it was taken care of. Yep, to me it was weird about BTMRR. So happy to see it's on the list!

That’s interesting. I got a FP for it as insurance if it was in fact closed during the party. I still think I’ll keep it and if time permits I can always ride it twice. It’s been years but I remember riding it at night and it was awesome!

What are the historical wait times for BTMRR during the party?

 

[FoxC63]

I don't keep track of time for rides as they vary too much. I can say at night after the second parade or 11pm it's a walk on. I've attended only late October parties and one has always been on Halloween night and I've walked on with out issue every year.

Can you switch BTMRR for Peter Pan?

 

[PolyRob]

So pumped about Elvis Stitch! I can't wait to see what time he starts meeting so I can plan my night .

Minimal. Maybe 5-10 minutes tops? We love BTMRR at night too and it’s one of the few rides we make time for on party nights.

 

[RJstanis]

Rats, no Haunted Mansion FP to switch it back out with lol. Looks like latest one is 305p. Even if I got the grace period that would be hard to make between 405-420.

Guess I'll just keep my plans as is and try to jump in between first parade and fireworks while eatchwatin Frontierland. If I positioned myself near the beginning of the parade on the side of, and by the river bypass path, do you think I'd be able to walk that path to Haunted Mansion while the parade is passing by. Hence getting to HM before the parade ends at the Frontierland/Liberty Square turn and beating that rush of peeps?

 

[RJstanis]

Thank you for the info and including the link! You rock!!!

No problem, I hope you're enjoying your time at DL! I'm jealous

Previously I wasn't interested in character meets, but now I think I need to make Elvis Stitch a priority!
I am a huge Elvis fan, and have a few different Elvis Stitch souvenirs. Pretty happy about this new character

 

[RJstanis]

Oh yay, turns out there was FP available for HM to switch from BTMR at 330p! It just wouldn't show unless I risked giving up my BTMR FP at 330p for the HM 305p slot. Then I went back to modify again and there was a 330 slot for 4 after that, woohoo! Now if we want to reride with the extras we can during the party, but if not we at least rode it obligatorily once lol! Now I can ride BTMR standby when we go over to ride Splash as well woohoo!

 

[anneboleyn]

I cannot believe the day after tomorrow is the first party! And I can’t wait to hear back from those attending

Also super excited about Stitch Elvis, and hoping the Splash Mt characters are an actual m&g and not just roaming around!

Dang Disney... I have pretty much always been in the "I won't pay for a MB" camp... but they are making it harder and harder to stick to that philosophy!
