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

Do you mean when you first check in it’s good to be up front?

Did you check in early for the parade or just show up?

I mean when you are being escorted by the cast member after the parade to the terrace. I edited my earlier post for clarity.

I checked in at the terrace a bit after 4pm. I arrived at the flagpole area about when I posted earlier- maybe 8:50.. can’t recall exactly. No checking in again for that, just the first time when I arrived.
 
I’m a little nervous Space Mtn. is at 30 minutes with the 1st parade going on. Could be skewed by SDMT being down but I thought it’d be a shorter wait.

It was 5 min after FW but the bridge was sea of humanity sure that changed quickly

Pooh meet n greet at an hour almost all night the one my GD wanted to do. Will try again after 2nd parade before last Hocus Pocus

Really a nice night. If it was a sell out, will say the dessert party made it more doable and calmer
 
I can’t wait to hear how the ride overlays are, specifically PotC and the tea cups. Haven’t been able to find any photos or videos on Instagram yet.

On an unrelated note, I love the Hocus Pocus cauldron mug. Is that party exclusive? And if so, will it likely be sold out by the October 23rd party?
 

How do you get access to the reserved area for the parade?

You have to have purchased the Hallowishes dessert party when it said it included parade viewing, a while back.

I will say that at 8:30 - 8:40, there was still a lot of first row/curb space in Frontierland available as you got closer to liberty square.
 
35 min mine train at only 6:45

I wonder if that will be higher on days with less bloggers

If that’s representative of other nights I may need to rethink when we ride that. So far we’re planning on jumping in line during the first parade.
At 6:45 there is still a lot of potential the the tail end of day guests are still in line waiting to ride. It's not unusual for the line to be 45 mins long at the end of the day with a 6pm closing. At 11:11pm it's showing a 25 min wait. Still one of MK's top rides.
 
In our experience, 15-20 minutes is the “normal” party wait for Space. Tonight being a sold out party, and with the new special effects, this seems quite reasonable!

Now I'm thinking about dropping my FP for BTMRR and replacing it with Space Mtn. I've heard reports on Twitter that the "enhancement" is just loud rock music and not really Halloween themed. Don't know if I want to burn 30 minutes of party time just for that. Racking my brain on how I would make it work with Splash and Peter Pan FPs because I literally cannot think of 3 rides that are more spread out than those 3.

I meant that it seemed low already when the party didn't even start yet

Oh okay that makes sense. I didn’t know they would escort us back after the parade. I have to figure out how to go check in and meet characters at the same time lol
