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

[snowwhitesmom]

We are flying from NC. IF that low pressure doesn't pick it up it will likely hit NC dead on. I did call Southwest they said watch your email for a travel advisory. IF we get that advisory we are going to go to WDW a day early. The travel advisory allows you to change your flight at no charge with SWA.

Thanks for the info - IF we get a travel advisory, I hope it gives us time to book another flight!

I tried to make some edits to the map to include the names of characters as well as magic shots. Hopefully this might help someone else. If i'm incredibly off on something, please let me know!

Oh can this be posted on the main page? and the strategy page? @FoxC63

This is awesome!

ok I wasn't worried about hurricanes until I read this thread. We are going Sept 29th- Oct 7th.

Also flying out of Reagan! Yeah, the forecast changes every single time I look, so zero confidence, however there are a few times I see the track and I get really hopeful that is going to be the real track of this thing (not to mention the things after this one)!

I figure, worst case I can fly in the day before and just stay at the hotel in the airport. Hopefully that doesn't have to happen, but I like having a backup plan!

That's our plan too--DH is already on notice that we may need to fly out Thurs night...afternoon...day. Whenever we need to!

I'm flying from New Hampshire on Thursday night. We're taking the last flight from my airport. I'll be watching this system very closely, and will change to Wednesday if necessary. The good news is for those in Florida...it doesn't look like it will impact WDW so anyone going to MNSSHP on Friday should be good

Florence isn't a threat to Florida (so far) but I am in NC. So that is a threat to our airport. UGHHH!!!! So I guess there are worse things than going to Disney a day early!

Isn't there another party tonite? Lets get back on track. Hope someone or several someones will post updates from the party!

We're going those exact same dates and I'm feeling shook.

We did. Checked bags in with RAC at about 10:00 am and didn't get the bags till we flew in home at 10:00 pm. Just went through the bags and all are fine.


We went to the party on 9/3 and it was not at all crowded. We didn't do any character meets so I can't comment on them but we found little to no waits on the photo ops we did and never waited more than 20 min for a ride, most less


Yes and a guy, who's name I should know but don't

Thank you! I was hoping that we wouldn't miss them.

We are over a week away from landfall (if there is a landfall). Way too soon to tell if anyone is in the clear, or in danger. I will say with storms at this latitude and still so far East, its very rare to have an east coast hit. I would wait 3 more days before making any changes that cost you financially, unless you really are looking for any excuse to extend a trip

In other news, we bought our tickets this morning, 10/16 party, here we come.

That is our plan - waiting until Monday to make a decision. It is just too early to know anything. (Though, heck yeah, an extra day or two of Disney time would be awesome!)

Hey Gorgeous!

His name is Butler Broome we meet him last year.

I would love to see him! Somehow I have managed to miss him in 14 years of MNSSHP.

At MK. Bought merchandise at 3 by showing my ticket. Tried to get a band from a couple of CMs. No dice without DVC, obviously.

Drizzling now.

FWIW, whenever there are storms that cause flight changes and airlines offer to let you change due to the weather, it is no charge to change. Not just Southwest.

It has been reported the party maps are hard to read at night due to low lighting but the above are accessible on your cell via the Itinerary Thread.

No, he's relatively new. I believe 2017.
