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

[SquashBanana]

How long are the characters out for? Specifically Jack and Sally. Are they there all night?

While rides are generally open until closing time, they have been known to close character lines early if the wait time exceeds closing time. Most people recommend being in line no later than 11:30 for popular characters, possibly 11:15.

Name anything Hades and you will get all of my money. We have a reservation at the Plaza but I may cancel it to try the burger, looks delicious.

Also, I'll be at the 9/7 party. If anyone would like me to pick up anything. Product cost + cost of shipping.

Those nachos look simultaneously weird and delicious. And I wish the Malificent cone had something besides lime ice cream. Not really a lime fan.

You can see fireworks from some spots in Frontierland, although I’d personally recommend being in the Hub. There aren’t projections but there are fireworks on/around the castle and the show just blends really well together when in the Hub (in my humble opinion). I have usually found decent enough space in the Hub just walking up 10-15 mins before. It’ll be crowded, but it’s not busting at the seems HEA crowded.

Watching the parade from Frontierland.... depends on which parade you want to see. You have a lot more flexibility in terms of last minute spots with the second parade than the first.

Thanks The hub it is...I want to do the second, but don't know if DD will make it. We're not doing anything during the day except breakfast at 'Ohana, then heading to the park around 3:30ish, but you never know.

I was looking at the times and since we'll be at the hub anyway, maybe we'll do the 8:30 Hocus Pocus show, 9:15 parade, and then fireworks. Is there a good spot to view all 3?

Yes, a huge thank you to Disneylover99 for the maps and to all who posted food and merchandise pictures and info! AND a big thank you to all of those going tomorrow who are planning reporting back on the first party! I can now finalize my plans (totally squealing that BTMRR is open!)! We'll be at the second party so will be happy to share info, as well, after we've gone. SO excited!

Wow when I saw that I thought it was mint Ice Cream. Thank you for letting me know it was lime

Also, I don't see a spot marked for Cruella? Wasnt she at the train station where the new treat station is now?

Yes, that’s where she was last year.

Just got tickets for Sept 14 our last day down. It will be me the kids and my dad as DH refuses to pay so much for a ticket. It's my dad's birthday so that will be fun.

All. The. Foods.

Ahhhh!!!! I wonder how many of these specially treats will be at the dessert party? That may just convince me to keep it!!

 

[scrappinginontario]

I'm guessing mobile ordering will still be available during the party. If so, might be a way to pick up some of the specialty treats people are looking for while avoiding the long lines I've heard about.

The OP said (I'm paraphrasing here) that counter service and snack locations are "...very limited once the party begins."

Can anyone expand on those limitations? We'd like to have a late dinner at Pecos Bill. I know it will be open for party themed snacks, but will Pecos and other quick service restaurants still offer their regular menu items?

Thanks!

People are buying the regular Halloween magic bands on eBay for way too much.

I'm tempted to create a listing that says something like "once you purchase this item I will go over and order it from shop Disney and it will ship directly from them. The $20 markup is for the 1 minute of work that will take me" "If you think my markup is too much you can go over there and buy it yourself"

The doombuggy is selling pretty strongly for between $40 and $50....

Good questions!! I had guessed that since some QS locations are selling party specialty items that their full menu would be available too. Good to ask if that’s the case or if they only carry the specialty items.

I wanted to pick up a Dole Whip for my daughter so if it’s just party items we’ll be sure to do this before 6:00.

@Cluelyss, do you know if the locations you posted from 2017 were selling all of their normal menu items during the party hours?
