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

[Dug720]

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

Boo To You Parade!

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

FREAK! Lime?? Come on...I love them but ice cream. Is it green???? You must be super psyched to have it available.

The sour the better! SO, so good! The picture available at Disney Parks Blogs is indeed green and with little chocolate horns!

I believe it's the same lime soft serve they are using for the Peter Pan float? Which is a plus because that soft serve is dairy-free and vegan.

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

They changed the batteries they were using in MBs a few years ago, the batteries now last five years.

Even still the battery is only needed for long-range scanners (ride photos, name on It's a Small World good-bye boards, etc.). The short-range scanners (Mickey-to-Mickey scanning for park admission and FPs) don't require battery power and will always work.

That was my plan one year and by the end of the night I totally forgot and left without picking one up!

Boo To You Parade!

At the very beginning the Headless Horseman comes riding out ahead of the parade

So we’re going on 10/4 and part of me wants to ask if someone can find a magic band for me, and part of me wants to just wait and see if I can get one.

10-15 minutes prior to the Boo To You parade the Horseman will make his ride. This is weather permitting - just because it’s dry enough for the parade doesn’t mean it’s dry enough for the Horseman.

Ugh I've gotten out of the loop of this thread for a couple weeks now and 40 pages have passed by.
I'm sure I've missed a lot. Only thing I want to know is did they announce any party specific treats in the last couple weeks?

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Oh and do we have a confirmed list of attractions closed during the party?
I saw a post about BTMRR being OPEN. Happy about that.
I'm just trying to see what attractions I'll want to do before park closing.

Read from page 290 on and you will see the maps and the treats

Awesome thanks!

None of them really scream at me.

Me neither. Maybe the pumpkin cheesecake.
Seemed like they have more last year. Maybe not.
I wish they had the Haunted Mansion potraits again. They all sounded amazing and the one I had was amazing.

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.

Hmm so $50 for two years? I personally think it's worth it, but DH most likely won't.

 

[Haley R]

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.

So the effects should still work after so long?

Oh wow really?! So basically I shouldn't worry about the effects working or not because that part of the band will last?

 

[Amy11401]

Yes, that’s where she was last year.

Oh no so do you think maybe Cruella won't be meeting? My son would be upset.

So this may be a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there is a way to predict how busy your MNSSHP day will be. This will be our first one -- first special party of any kind -- and we're going August 31. It's late August which suggests to me it could be less crowded, but it's also a Friday.

Thoughts? I'm not changing anything, so my dear spouse wonders why I care to worry about such things....
