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

The last time we did the MNSSHP was 4 years ago. We had fun, but I was surprised at how terrible the candy was, (think tootsie rolls). Also, the lines for the candy were crazy long. Have things improved since then and would you do it again? We will be there the last week in September and I am trying to decide if we should give it another go.
 

Just got off the phone with a CM (was booking a cabana) who asked if I was attending MNSSHP and I said yes and that we were buying tickets this week! She mentioned to make sure to add memory maker as they were adding new photo opportunities for this year. Not sure if this is news but thought I would share :)

Silly Question - if you have a memory maker for your entire trip, do you need to purchase a separate one for the party???

I love Tootsie Rolls. They were one of my favorites (along with candy bars) growing up. What I cannot stand is...Candy Corn.
 
Thanks so much @monique5 for updating Post #1 with all the current info!

It's my first MNSSHP and I'm surprised to see that Big Thunder Mountain is not included in the list. Is it normally closed during parties? Still lots of other stuff to do, it's just one that surprised me.

I attempted to order tickets online but am getting a lot of weird errors so am going to wait a bit. When I tried to purchase using Google Chrome I got the 'Stitch' page and the transaction did not complete to my credit card. When I attempted using Internet Explorer the screen looks like this so I stopped.

It might be just find to continue as I can still see my information below but there is too much weird stuff there for me to feel comfortable entering my credit card information!
 
I wondered about BTMRR last week when I saw they updated the rides open on the MNSSHP page. I was hoping it was like last year when they "forgot" to list SDMT.

Now if they would just release dessert party info so I can decide on that..

I would be so sad if BTMRR is not open as its my favorite ride! I am thinking of NOT doing a MK day and only doing the party, but I will have to rethink that if BTMRR is not going to be open.

This is what I'm waiting for too! I'm curious if it will be dessert party only, like last year, or if they will go back to combo dessert party/reserved parade viewing like previous years. I missed having the reserved parade spot last year.

That is what I am hoping for, parade added back in. I may still do it, regardless, but to have the parade viewing included again would be fantastic.

I think I went the same year as you did. I had gone to Disneyland Party and then Disney World a couple weeks later and couldn't believe the selection difference. At Disneyland we got M&Ms, Snickers, and all the good stuff. At Disney World we got a bunch of Wal Mart cheap candy. I am hoping the same thing as you.

Candy was fantastic last year!

It is on the refurb list? It is absolutely normally open during parties and they just did a refurb in 2016 (I think?) so hoping it’s an accidental omission like SDMT last year.
 
Friday’s are busier they say as more locals go but I’ve also heard that people going to sold out parties are even okay if they go in with a good plan. I believe a good plan is the key.
Thanks, I may tweek my plans a bit. I will be there for ten days, purchased an eight day Hopper, specifically to ensure that I do the other non park touring that I intend to, but don't always follow through with when I have park access everyday. I arrive on a Wednesday, taking that day off, thinking of doing the KTTK tour on my first Thursday and the party on Sunday (Non park ticket day) the 14th. 176 days to go!

That is a perfect way to describe the candy that year. There was definitely not any snickers, Twix, starbursts, all the good stuff. For what you pay for that party, you should not be getting the cheap candy.
 
I got my tickets for August 28th. It is our last day in the World so I hope we aren't tempting fate :oops:
 
Question...now that you can get tickets online....I called when they opened the phones up to purchase and a CM informed me that I could order tickets at AP price for some of my guest who are not AP holders. I think it would cover my whole party actually myself, hubby, MIL and 1 child. Has anyone else done this or heard this?
