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

[Haley R]

I just booked my tickets for Sept.

I guess Disney is doing it differently this year because they aren't listing the pricing calendar or letting you book online- you've gotta call them direct now. Does anyone know why this is?

I don’t know why it’s happening but the online booking should open April 17 I believe.

Oh ok. Good to know. Thanks

Rumour has it tickets will be available online Apr 17th.

It’s been discussed that possibly they brought the offer out earlier than normal to take focus off the new Parking charges and possibly the onlinewas not ready at the time.

Gotta love those new parking charges. It was only a matter of time though. Thanks

Which way does the Boo To You parade route go ?

Does it start at Main Street or by Splash Mountain?

It starts by splash

I'm still going back and forth on whether we should go. The only night we can do it is the first party. Is it particularly difficult to get parade/fireworks viewing that night. I was thinking bloggers probably have more interest in getting video/photos of things like that on the first night.

Booked Return to Sleepy Hollow this morning for 8pm on Friday Oct 5th! Also booked our other ADRs for the trip but nothing at MK. We'll do QS at Pop before the party and then grab snacks or another quick QS during if we need to.

Wondering the same thing! We're also thinking of heading to the first party. Does anyone have any experience?

I would go if this is the only night I could attend. Just go in with a plan and you should be fine. We've never gone on the first night but have attended a sold-out party. Didn't notice much difference between sold-out and non sold-out parties. Have fun if you decide to go!

Quick question about Donald: is he still in his normal park clothes during the party? Last time I attended the party he had the cutest pumpkin outfit on, but I read he’s now meeting in his ‘great Donaldo’ clothes during the party as well.

 

[DIS_MIKE]

I have a question about the costume guidelines. It says that capes cannot be worn below the waist but I've seen people wear cloaks and similar items so is this a lax policy? I always see people dressed up as the Sanderson sisters and they're all wearing long capes or cloaks.

At last year's party, he was meeting with Daisy by Casey Jr (splash pad area), and he had his pumpkin outfit then...I *think* he had the Donaldo costume during Boo To You parades.......
ETA: HOLY Mackerel that's um way larger of a picture than I intended. sorry

Anyone with Frontier flight experience? Specifically, right now flights are open out through late fall, but only every other day, or every two days. I'm wondering if that is just all we will see? I notice summer has flights daily. Frontier $$ is great, but I can't make the dates work due to the every other and every two day flights right now...

Just wondering if i should book the 3x price at SW and hope for a drop, or wait for possibly more Frontier flights to open.

We plan on flying frontier and they have every day in october available for us and it’s out of a small airport. Typically they don’t add dates to their calendar. We usually just try to make whatever dates they have work. I guess you just have to decide if you want to spend the $ or be flexible, if possible. We looked at southwest and said no way because the only non stop flights were out of an airport 3 1/2 hours from us.

Thanks for you reply. I can’t make the dates that Frontier has work, no matter how I try to move days, unfortunately; it’s too much time out of school. Too bad!

Wondering if you think the party is worth it for just atmosphere, parades (and an occasional ride) if kids (and parents) don't have interest in characters? We loved the Christmas party for just the atmosphere and parades but not sure if the same will translate to the Halloween party? Thoughts? This would be for end of August 2019 (assuming they have parties when we are there). Trying to decide if the party is another thing to put on the pro list when deciding when to go.

This answer to this question is subjective. If you enjoy Halloween in general, and you enjoyed the Christmas party for those same reasons, odds are you'll enjoy the Halloween Party as well and find value in it. I've done both, and enjoy the Halloween party and it's atmosphere more. Also, the Halloween parade is my all time favorite so I would easily go just for that.

This year we are doing Universal but made time for our 4th Halloween Party as our only Disney activity, and plan on just enjoying rides, Halloween activities, and maybe a character if boys feel up to it, if that's any indication.

I'm seeing some posts that tickets may be available online 4/17/18. Umm, my AP expires on April 19th - would I be able to buy tickets for the party and get my AP discount? I'm planning on getting an AP again, but I'll wait until I get to WDW in August.
