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

[wehrengrizz]

Does anyone know if veterans qualify for the Sept party dates discount (since veterans are able to stay at SoG in Sept)?

Holy cow, I'm shocked! I just called and the ticket office at SoG confirmed that Veterans CAN purchase WDW tickets and MNNSHP party tickets at the military rate...IF staying at SoG at that special promotional time! I realize that sounds confusing. During January and September, Vets can stay at SoG (Category III rate) not using anything other than a DD214, do not have to be 100% disabled, etc. or otherwise eligible to stay.

@grumpy28 lots of wordiness (which I'm sure is indicative of military anyway amIright?), but it was verified that anyone eligible to stay at Shades of Green in Sept. could get those tickets, both regular park passes and party tickets!!

Wow, awesome news for you! Unfortunately, we are staying at CBR with a bounceback free dining offer (not SoG even though we are eligible), so I guess we wouldn't qualify. Booooo. But happy for you!

oh shoot! well yes, it's definitely exciting (I haven't booked yet) but I won't be able to get the tickets for the party until I'm there, so that's a little worrisome too, in case they sell out. (I am an AP but I just checked the ticket prices for military...um, yeah half price?! I totally missed that last year, because I assumed I couldn't use it)
BUT, for you....free dining, esp. during Food & Wine...holy moly that's going to be a way better deal, especially with 5 of you You could always call and double check with SoG too...or add a night? (ha.)

Has anyone booked the Return to Sleepy Hollow event yet? I called and booked this morning and it still hasn't shown up in MDE and I haven't gotten a confirmation email. The CM on the phone mentioned that it might not show up in my account, but I figured I'd at least get an email.

It didn't show up for me last year, literally nothing for it. Did they give you a confirmation number? I kept that on my phone and they just had a name when they checked us in if I remember correctly.

Good to know. Thanks!

I just chatted with a CM to double check the time I'd reserved. (I was not ready to be up this morning when I was on the phone! haha) He also said that nothing shows up on the customer end, but suggested adding the information (including confirmation number) to My Itinerary using the notes feature.

Thanks @Pibbman. No Kroger's here in Canada.

Do you have Target? 5% off when you use their Red Card.

For anyone curious- I attempted to get a Disney giftcard at Home Depot and mine here in TN will not let you use a gc to purchase a gc

Not sure if it's the same everywhere but where I live we cannot use a gift card to purchase a gift card.

No. Sadly Target only lasted a matter of months in Canada. That's one store I really miss!

I am using grocery store points to purchase Disney GC's so basically getting them for free just by my normal shopping and banking. That works! So thankful that Disney GC's purchased in Canada can now be used in the US. They automatically convert to US dollars when being used in the US.

I did that too I just couldn't remember where I added it to tell you.

 

[ArielSparrow]

I see when it starts, but what time does the park close/party end? Thanks!

 

[scrappinginontario]

Closes at midnight

I like the way you think!

Oh goodness, how embarrassing. Yes, Disneybounding was what I meant. Essentially dressing in a style (colors, key elements) of a Disney character, without actually wearing a character outfit. There’s plenty of examples on Pinterest. Thank you for the catch on my error, everyone.

haha- regardless of which you meant to type, I'd never heard of either so thanks for the info!!!

 

[Rich M]

Any word on when the Online Tickets go onsale

 

[ArielSparrow]

Every March there is a challenge for people to Disneybound every day of the month, so it's a great time to see some examples. Browse the #DisneyBoundChallenge tag on Instagram (you don't need an account or to download the app - you can view on the website)

I was in Target the other day. I was buying a $50 gift card (not Disney) and over $50 worth of other merchandise. The cash register wouldn't let me use a $5 Target gift card that I had towards the purchase because of the the Nintendo gift card that I was purchasing even though I had more than enough regular merchandise that would have been covered by the little $5 Target gift card. It wasn't a huge deal because I'll be back to shop again, but it was a little annoying.

Is anyone doing a cruise after the Halloween party? We were going to do the Wine/Dine half marathon, but my knees are shot and it already sold out. We have never done a cruise before, but thought it would be fun to try the Halloween party for the first time and then go on a cruise.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Is there a discount for purchasing party tickets with Disney Chase Visa?

Nope but you do get the Disney reward dollars.

I'm actually thinking of doing this, going to the party on the 11th perhaps, and cruising the weekend of the 14th!
