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

[garris3404]

We'll be there from Aug.12-22. So yes, we're really hoping for the 17th! I was also considering making an ADR for dinner that night, but when I checked Crystal Palace, I could not book past 2:30pm. I'm thinking maybe they hold dinner reservations until they release the dates?

That's what I think too. Check first post on this thread for more info.

Perhaps they could be sold out also

Pour a big bowl of food and have a big bowl of water and enjoy Disney. Before my daughter got her German Shepherd we had 2 cats, and we still travel to both Disney and UO. We were gone about 4 days for each trip.

I tried checking for one of the nights that Magic Kingdom closes at 6:00 and we think might be a party night. You could not book any restaurant for dinner at any time in the Magic Kingdom for that night.

Our cats always stay home by themselves even for a week. I usually get 2 or 3 boxes and line them with thick garbage bags and fill with litter. (Lots of food and water also) Never had an issue and my 2 are very spoiled.

You're in danger of sounding entitled.
Everyone there that day paid.
Everyone there that day had to deal with the rain and what followed.
Some can make lemonade and apparently some cannot.

Entitled? Really? Because I gave my opinion and it doesn’t agree with yours.

Same. We have two very spoiled cats and we’ve left them as long as a week by themselves. The litter boxes get really full but they’re cats. There’s a reason we don’t have a dog.

Fingers crossed for a Sept 6th party to celebrate our 28th anniversary!!

When I had 2 cats I left them a couple of times for 3 days when going on a weekend trip but I likely would not have left them any loner without having my friend go over.
After I only had one I never left him alone for longer than 2 days and now I have one again and again would never leave her alone longer than 2 days.
My experience with one has been they do get lonely. Luckily my friend has cats and knows the ins and outs of them and doesn't mind stopping in once a day to play and keep the bowls full and the litter clean.
I'm considering getting a second cat very soon

I also have a question about flights. Does Southwest have a lot of nonstop flights or are most of them 1 or more stops? We normally fly Frontier, but they won't have their flights up for a long time. They only have flights listed through August right now.

I'm also not sure if I should go ahead and book a hotel or not. We are trying a new hotel each trip so the ones we have already done are POP, POR, POFQ, and AKL.

I think Southwest's non stop flights just depend. You can look up your city and try it out. I know out of Austin they'd usually have one or two non-stops each day.

We have 5 (I know, we're crazy, lol), and we do have a couple "cat cams" we put out while we are on vacation so we can keep an eye on them. I supposed we could stretch to 4 days maybe, but after that, I think the litter would be a little nuts. Unfortunately we do not have any family close enough to stop in. But I will definitely consider an extra day or so.

We would go out of Des Moines, Minneapolis, or Chicago. Looks like Chicago is the only one with non stop flights. They’re more expensive than our previous frontier flights, too. I think we’ll just wait for frontier to release theirs.

If we had 5 it would be a different story lol. With two it’s much more manageable.

Dropping in to remind everyone this is a planning thread for MNSSHP.

It’s helpful for others to be able to read posts regarding crowd level during the Party, experiences during the Party, and if Disney provided Guest compensation/appeasement if Parties or events during the Party were canceled.

This thread will be running for 7 1/2 more months...hopefully without name-calling. Please follow the DIS posting Guidelines http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm while remaining on topic. Thanks!

Those are our exact dates. Hoping for an October 29th party.

I would not expect a party on October 29th since that's a Monday - typically Columbus Day is the only Monday party.

I am hoping to go to my first party on August 21st!!

Columbus day or labor day for a Monday party? I don't think they had a Columbus day one last year (if they do, it will totally throw off my theoretical planning this year!)

Back from my “big” trip yesterday. Finding it extremely hard to adjust and not be sad.

So I guess I’ll start obsessively planning my September trip! I haven’t been to a Halloween party in ages and am ready! I don’t have a problem

Also bummed because I wasted a day of ticket on my bf and didn’t upgrade his ticket to an AP (he couldn’t decide but now wishes he had *eye twitch*)

C u there!!! Let me know what u r wearing. I will have a black T-shirt with a silver Minnie bat on it with orange bow with purple dots. We have a print store in town that does screen prints for all the local school sport teams and they will also custom make anything for anyone.
