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

The roaming have no photoPass they do stop for a photo but they want it done quickly.

Truth be told, I didn't want to post anything remotely like this about it. Oh, shame.

Well leave it to me to say what should have been left unsaid I guess.

In full disclosure... none of my family will be buying any popcorn buckets. If I walk in the house with that thing, DW would kill me!

So can you get a picture with a roaming character or just the characters that form lines?

From second hand knowledge, there are CM handlers that accompany them but no PhotoPass photographers. The CM would use your camera to take the picture.

You can get a picture with a roaming character. It will either be a selfie or you can have someone take your picture for you.

Well then... I'm getting two, DW is getting two, DS is getting two, and DD is getting two. And since we're probably doing two parties, I'll be coming home with 16! I'll be an e-bay seller in no time.

Note: I'M KIDDING.

LOL! Don't give anyone any ideas!

So what time did you meet them then? If lining up at 6:15 still puts you in their second set I may have to rethink this. My kids can't hang much more than an hour.

They took a 5 min break at 730, we were thru in a couple minutes then.

The roaming have no photoPass they do stop for a photo but they want it done quickly. Also, there have been no reports that I'm aware of that a roaming character is signing autographs this year.

The stepsisters were signing a little girl's autograph book at one point when I saw them.

ETA: Maybe I misspoke, sorry. The girl was pretty young and holding the autograph book out to them as I walked by. They were leaning down to her so I assumed they were signing for her. I didn't stop to watch anything beyond that.

Rode ppl mover and buzz light-year as walk ons before making my way to Main Street for the fireworks. Got a good spot right outside Casey's!

Edited again, it appears the Evil Step Sisters most likely will NOT sign autograph books.

Not surprised. Survey this thread. People are booking 3, 4 and 5 parties. Money is not a worry for them. Add in the frothing for anything marked, 'exclusive' - my god, I could sell tinfoil if I labeled it 'exclusive' and the folks shelling out big $$ for multiple dessert parties for a special place to stand during the parade. Why wouldn't Disney increase the crowds and the $$? From what I read here, most people would easily pay a few hundred $ for a picture with cast members dressed up as certain characters. They're already willing to wait hours of their party time. The impact will be absorbed - people will add a 6th, 7th & 8th party.

Originally we were going to do 3 parties but decided to do 2 instead. Fast forward to the announcement for the CL FP+ where you get 3 extra FP plus VIP viewing for fireworks etc. We decided to purchase the CL extras and just do 1 party. Yes we spent more money but by doing only one party and not doing the dessert parties we were going to do, it all evens out. Lucky for me my girls are happy meeting princesses and we tackle that by booking Akershus and CRT. We rode rides and watched 1 parade last year. I can't justify wasting 2/3 of the party standing in line to meet any character.

@Dentam is living her best life tonight.

Lovin' the live updates.

The benefit of being a solo traveler! Plus I remember how much I was eating up the live updates on previous party nights!

 

[Dentam]

FIRST POST! FIRST POST!!!! WOOT! We have confirmation!

EDIT: I have edited my original post!

Not sure if they normally will but it was not crowded in the area and no one else was trying to interact with them.

It's still a possibility and I'm good with that!

Here I am completely balking at two parties and there are those doing or considering three?! *faints* Makes a one party plan feel useless

Wait for Jack and Sally is 45 minutes right after fireworks. Haunted Mansion at 13 minutes walking on now. Trick or treat line is very short again outside CHH.

The only reason we were going to do 3 parties was so we could stay at MK into the night. But 1 is going to be more than enough.

Wow, they really do give out a lot of candy! Cadaver Dans are here now!

Where exactly did you see the Cadaver Dans? Thank you.

 

[FoxC63]

I'm soloing it for the party. I'll be hanging with friends at MK until about 4 when they have to head back to Jacksonville, but I'm planning to have fun!

Oh yeah ! We both are kissing our husbands good bye so we can hit the party. It's a girls night out!

 

[Dentam]

They were in Frontierland outside Country Bears and the Trading post. I'll post pics when I get back tonight!

Found a spot for the parade outside Liberty Tree Tavern right against the white ropes. 15 minutes prior to second parade. Grave diggers just went across the route dragging their shovels!
