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

[Haley R]

That was one thing we were upset with going Halloween week last year. I’m a pin collector and most of the party pins weren’t available when we went on 10/25. DBF was in search of the candy corn Magicband, which he ended up finding, but originally we were told they were sold out. The Oogie boogie popcorn buckets were long gone and the shirt options were very limited. I bought many items through resale or personal shoppers.

Is that normal from year to year or did that just happen last year?

Good question. We’re used to going in September so I’m not sure.

I sure hope I'm able to get some merchandise. That was one of the things I was most excited about for the party!

Quick question - got tickets for MNSSHP and a 14 day ticket. Can I make fast pass reservations from 4.30 - 6pm and enter at 4.15pm with my MNSSHP?

Also, will there be much of a line for Winnie the Pooh (and Piglet) from 6pm or so? DD is obsessed with Piglet and would love photos with him if he was in his Halloween outfit.

Thanks

I am not sure about FP’s I believe you should be able to make fast passes before the party however I can comment on Pooh and the gang. You definitely want to line up early if possible their line dies get long. I met them last year, I got in line at 9:30 after meeting Queen and Tweedles and waited for 45 minutes including 2 breaks the characters did. If you don’t mind waiting in line then do it but with them being a popular character M&G, the line tends to stay long.

Did you start the line at 4pm? We're trying to decide if we want to do Moana's line or not, and what time we should get on line.

Yes, I started the line.

Thanks Sheila - thought that might be the case. DD is desperate to see Hocus Pocus so think it’ll be the one meet and greet then (with Piglet and co as early as we can once we’ve done the fastpasses). Much as I’d love to meet the 7 dwarves, I really don’t want to be standing in line most of the night as defo want to ride Haunted Mansion (that’s not up for negotiation lol!)

We went over the week of Halloween last year and were initially told both magicbands were sold out. Then we at MK another day and they were selling them during the regular park day . We also ended up finding both of them in the outlets on our way home.

This for us during MVMCP (last week of parties). Others had posted this as well about MNSSHP last year. Selling MVMCP exclusive items during day to all guests.

Very frustrating. I wouldn’t care if they had enough merchandise for all the parties but it’s frustrating when things are sold out when you pay a premium for a party.

I agree. Everything that is party exclusive should have a certain number of them available on each party. If they sale out then that's fair but allocate so many per party.

Agreed. I’m glad I’m making a trip in August and October this year. I might actually be able to buy some merchandise lol

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about an early Epcot morning after the party - I really appreciate it! We can't really switch much around, but we will have an afternoon break on Epcot day, so hopefully that will help us. I also won't push everyone to stay out until the end of the party Thanks again!

Well if you want them also I would get in line for dwarves at no later than 4:30 they come out as early as 6 pm. Then you can run over quickly and get in line for Pooh be all done by 7:30-8pm still plenty of party time left!!!

Since you are going later, follow this thread for helpful pointers. I am going to the second party and hope to post live and after the party

Is Haunted Mansion different during the party? I keep seeing people on here say they have to ride it.

I might be sending an email to guest relations. It probably won't do anything, but at least they will know that people are hoping to buy items at the end of October. I don't feel like it would be that hard to ration out merchandise.

Does anyone know when they typically open up the Happy Hallowishes dessert party? I'm considering going, but that would make 3 dessert parties on our trip and that's an awful lot. But I just love not having to stake out a spot for the fireworks.

YES! I could have sworn I saw the first one on the app after Halloween, I was under the weather during our trip so . Thank you for this!

They have ghosts ladies out front putting on skits I cannot think of their names but I am sure someone here can fill us in. Plus with it being Halloween it is like tradition to ride HM.

We will have other MK days so I might just have to look then if they don't set any out during the party.
