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

[FoxC63]

I’ve seen a few people on here say they’re going to pick up their SOTMK card at the end of the night after the park is closed. I hadn’t given picking one up much thought but it does sound like a neat little free souvenir. Is there a risk of them running out each night before closing and if not, how late is too late to pick one up? We are planning on doing the midnight hocus-pocus show so can I still get one around 12:30 well after the park is closed?

I have been checking this post every day partially because I wanted to know if it was going to stay open, and partially because I cannot wait for this party! Now I am even more excited! Thanks for the update!

All. The. Foods.

Woot! I have a LIST but I will definitely be glued to YouTube on Saturday to see video of everything. I do like to hear food reviews. The nachos are intriguing me but want to hear about that and the burger at Cosmic Rays. We'll have a noontime lunch at Sanaa so we'll just pick up something tasty at the party and snack into the evening. I really need to know what popcorn buckets will be available and where!

I'm a little sad about all the shopping pre-party talk, though. I'm going on Oct 8th and now I'm thinking between people using personal shoppers and eBay price gougers there might not be anything left I'm particularly disappointed in eBay folks. Can we revolt and demand disney limit purchasing these limited edition items?

I just bought our tickets yesterday for the October 30th Party. I am so excited as this is our 1st MNSSHP!!!
As of now I have 2 ADR’s just not sure if I want to keep either after seeing so many QS locations open Crystal Palace @ 6:20 or The Plaza @ 5:05.

Now the magic band on eBay has 6/10 availability. Apparently people are buying them up fast. Can’t decide if I should be spending $50 on it

I just bought one. Going to party on the 9/3 but I have no confidence they’d be available.

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

Is anybody?

Is anybody?

I like margaritas

So I've only had MBs that came as a result from booking a resort stay. I've never purchased one. If I were to find one on our party night how would i activate it? And they are supposed to elicit different colors when using Fast Passes? Of course, my party night is a Monday and we leave on Wednesday so I don't know how much use I'd get out of it. Do the Christmas ones work the same? Now that I would definitely do because we have a trip for this year and also for December 2019......

I’m so excited that BTMRR will be open during the party!!!

So, if I’m reading the map correctly, Splash will be open AND it will be a treat trail?

 

[Dug720]

Is anybody?

Key Lime Pie (gluten-free) is my jam!!

I’ve read that it can take a day or two for the effects to work. The effects on the bands work in different spots. Some work at the entry points, some work for certain rides, and some work all over a certain park. I’d have to go back and look at the previous Halloween bands to see exactly where they work.

 

[Haley R]

I don’t like doing it but I caved in and bought one. I figure it would have cost me around $35 and after they pay shipping they’re only making around $10 so it’s not too bad. Looks like they’re picking them up at the first party, so now I just won’t have to worry about it. I can move on to worrying about things like the cauldron popcorn bucket.....

I was thinking the same thing about shipping. I figured after spending $33 plus tax and shipping it might be close to $50. I haven’t bought one yet. I have to get Dh on board. I’ve been waiting all year for this mb.

Yeah I’m going 10/23 lol. Dh is not convinced it’s worth the $50 though. He’s like you want to spend that much on a magic band? Just wait....he’ll get there lol

 

[Jonathan Muncy]

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?

Our plans sound similar just mine are a week ahead. Please keep me posted.

 

[Haley R]

Dh wants to know how long the battery lasts in a magic band. Anyone know? Can you replace the batter if it dies?

 

[LucyBC80]

Is anybody?

*raises both hands*
yep, I'm looking forward to that almost as much as for the warm caramel pretzel!

Oops!!! I even read that previously. Thanks again for being on top of this thread!!

You cannot replace the battery. Supposed to last up to two years. What you can do is change out the center puck to continue to use a favorite band but you will lose any effects.

They vary. You cannot replace them, and it’s about 18-24months. They will still scan for entry/fast pass etc. but not work for 7dmt video and photo and other long range things with a dead/weak battery.

Hello! I have a question - where and when can you see The Headless Horseman at MNSSHP?
