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

With BOG being Two Credits on the DDP I am assuming it will be easier to get going forward?

It may or may not be. The change eliminates the people who were making reservations just to get the Grey stuff, see the castle and meet the Beast. But there are many signature restaurants that are difficult to get reservations for.

Might be a silly question but asking anyway as this is our first time attending MNSSHP. During MVMCP there are locations to pick up complimentary snacks: cookies, hot chocolate, etc.

Is there anything like this available at the party or does the Trick or Treating candy basically replace the other offerings?

We'll be going to Typhoon Lagoon for the day and trying to determine if we should eat a full meal prior to the party or if there will be other snack foods available during the party to pick at, aside from candy. I understand there is food to purchase, just wondering what is included with the party?

Candy is it. There will be specialty snacks/cupcake/ice cream but you have to buy them.

We have done every combo of eating there is ... we finally are down to a filling meal late afternoon before going to the party. Then if we get hungry we pick up a snack/dessert item so we don't waste party time. We do not eat our candy during party.

Only Trick or Treating is complimentary.

The only free food items are the candy, other snacks you will have to purchase but there are snacks available throughout the park to purchase.

How have lines been in the past for the Jack Sparrow meet and greet? My son is a big fan of him. Only planning on meeting him and Jack & Sally.

Last time I went they also offered healthy snacks besides candy. We got carrots, apple chips, and craisins. It was nice to munch on those as we went.

Thanks! That's kinda the plan I was thinking of if snacks were not offered so we'll go with that. Normally we have the DDP when we travel but this is a quick 4 day, low budget trip so not buying the DDP. We will be sure to eat our main meal prior to entering the park at 4:00 and then snack as we feel like it.

Thanks for your help everyone!

I'm curious about why 8/28 is cheaper than the other August dates but I'm not complaining lol

I believe it’s because it’s a week day. If you see 08/24 is a Friday and it’s more expensive. We are also going on 08/28. Can’t wait!! My DD is already planning on her costume.

I don't have party tickets yet, but I booked my ADR at 5 pm so it's before the party starts.

You can pick up your wristband from 4pm and some events start before the official party time starts, Jack and Sally and last year the Moana meet both began early. I started queuing for Moana around 5pm and 4pm for Jack and Sally.

I started queueing from just after 4pm ready for when they came out and I was done by about 5:45pm. I think some people managed to get a reasonable queue time late into the party but I don't remember. If you do that first then you know you've got that meet done and you can enjoy the rest of your party.

How long did you wait for Moana? My girls love her, so she is our top priority!

 

[RysMomma]

I was just going to ask if everyone who ordered last week and asked for the tickets to be sent to you received them yet. However, as I was typing it, I got an email from UPS saying that something from WDW was shipped out and I'll receive it in two days. Guess that's them!

I believe I was in the queue for about an hour. So providing she is there this year I would aim to get there around 5pm. She wasn't there at 4pm when I first looked, the space was still being used for buggy parking. If you were first in queue though you would have been done quicker. I didn't see what time she arrived.

In my opinion it also eliminates some people on the regular dining plan to who are not willing to spend 2 credits on the meal.

Are they restricting these ADRs for people going to the party or can anyone book them?

Anyone can book them but you’ll need a party ticket to enter the restaurante if your reservation starts after 5:30pm.

It will depend on the restaurant. BOG is open until 6:10 for non-party reservations.

I think the timing will also depend of if the restaurant is even staying open during the party.

Ours came 2nd day air UPS.

Looking at our plans, we have CRT lunch at 11:45 and we really don't need 2 big meals on a party night plus my 4 year old told me she didn't like BOG so if anyone is going on Sept. 11th I'm going to release our 5:55 reservation at 11:00 pm est tonight so be ready to grab it.
