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

[ArielSRL]

I wanted 10pm from the start. I'm doing this as a surprise for my mom, so I made an 8pm ADR at Artist Point with the plan that I could "suggest" we got for a boat ride over the check out the stables and then surprise her with the event. She really likes horses so I think she'll go for it.

We also wanted the priority seating and our TA was able to secure it for us without any issue.

Thanks. I will keep my hope up for 8pm Oct 5th!

I don't mind the mile walk (thought I might at the end of a week at Disney), but is it totally dark or is there some lighting? The boat ride sounds nice.

Just an FYI...we love the boat from MK to anywhere! It is so nice!

Can anyone answer this???September 27th (Thursday) is not showing as a party night on the list and CM also confirmed not a party night but in Park Hours calendar it's showing closing at 6 p.m. and Cinderella Royal Table is only available to book for Breakfast and Lunch. Are they keeping this open just in case they want to add another party night?

probably a private event.

sleepy hollow - separate event. You can search for it on the wdw site for tickets and DIS for information/details/trip reports.

Thank you!!I just looked it up and it's saying that the Sleepy Hollow event will take place at Fort Wilderness...is there another one?

That's it!!!
Last year it only ran in October - so those of us in September missed out.

I'm confused why that would affect MK's hours.

It doesn't. Totally unrelated.

Don't quote me on this, but last year the Microsoft Ignite conference booked both parks at Universal for their after party. Sept. 27th is the day of this years party. There is no official statement yet but it would seem odd they would return to Universal two years in a row, and since I'm attending the conference I have my fingers crossed.

Just a suggestion....Should all the Sleepy Hollow discussions be moved to a separate thread so there is no confusion since it is a separate event?

Not in my opinion. This is the MAIN thread. @monique5 posted the "Return to Sleepy Hallow Event" as soon as it was available. And you can find it here: Post #2 if you want to create a separate thread go for it.

I have zero issues with this especially when it comes to kids. My son has ADHD & Autism and I will never let him stand for a couple of hours in line with other guests. It's a vacation for us his parents and him and everyone around us. otherwise it would be too stressful.

We refer to it as: “Tag Team"

Thank you!

You’ll likely get mixed opinions on this, but we’ve done it many times as have others around us and in this thread. It’s a pretty common practice at parties for characters with open queues. We do generally all line up together, though, so that everyone around us knows our party size. Then I’ll send DH and the kids away for a bit.

Gotcha. So maybe it's just a matter of letting everyone around us know what's going on. Thanks!

Frontier flights through 11/14 were just released for Discount Den members. Got our $39 flight

Thank you for the heads up! What are your dates? Ours are $111 each way through discount den booooo.

Ew that stinks. We are looking at October 21-28 and it looks like if dh and I share a bag it will still be close to $430. That’s way more than we normally spend and we wouldn’t even land until 10:45 at night in Orlando.

That’s a huge bummer compared to past frontier costs. $222 for nonstop isn’t terrible on our way be but we’ve had it so much cheaper before.

We have too! I guess we have gotten really lucky with getting vouchers though so we are used to that. The price isn’t bad until you add your seats and bags.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before .... but we attended the first Disney after Hours party in January and EVERYONE had posted that although the event starts at 7:00, we should be able to get in around 4:00 ( based on prior years). And, you guessed it, we weren't able to get in until a few minutes before 7:00 p.m.

So I guess I'm a little leary that if we book the Halloween party tickets, we won't get in MK until the posted time. We'd be doing the party instead of going to the park for the full day, so I'm hoping that the hours will be from 4:00 to close, rather than 7:00 to close. Thoughts?

An After Hours Party is different from MNSSHP or MVMCP so I don't know if the same rules apply.

In the past though I have not heard of a single instance where people were not allowed into the parks at 4:00 for MNSSHP or MVMCP.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yuck! We already had our flight home booked through SW so was just watching for the flight down. It’s a Tuesday (10/30) which helps with the cost. Tues/weds are always the cheapest days with Frontier.

Keep checking the SW flights. I was able to save $74 yesterday when our late Aug flight suddenly dropped. I check every time SW sends out an email and yesterday it worked! It will mean driving through the night to get to the airport but kinda adds a whole additional day to our trip as we'll now arrive at 8:35 in the morning.
