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

[FoxC63]

Yes, I know Halloween won't be going on during our days.

ADRs on Friday and hopefully online Halloween party tickets for sale on Tuesday. That and we scored $56 flights on Frontier. All coming together! We just got back from a west coast trip and while DL was great it made us even more excited for WDW in October!

 

[Aladora]

Been to WDW many times and we'll be going to DL in August. Looking forward to it without prejudice or comparison. In it for the magic!!!

When in August are you going? HM is closed for a couple of weeks so they can do the changeover to HMH (which btw is amazing and different every year!) Space is also closed to change to Ghostly Galaxy but that typically only take a couple of days.

Sounds like you should be fine, HM and Space generally close nearer the end of August.

I remember that, we were excited to try and get one as DD's room is princess themed and she wanted it for her dresser. But, yep sold out. It is ridiculous that Disney refuses to limit it better after all who's eating 10 buckets of popcorn? Luckily my Dsis found one on a different trip and picked it up. Yep, she was obnoxious as a little sister but she redeemed herself. LOL

Were those ducks that went flying across the hub towards the end of the fireworks?

Haha, yup!

 

[dachsie]

Haha, yup!

Too funny. The first time I saw it I thought they had bats in the show. Then I replayed it and realized they were ducks

Ok. So Me and DS19 and DD17 will be going to Orlando Wednesday, October 17th (get in late) to Monday October 22nd. They both have a few days off school for Teachers Meetings. I have free airfare from SW (booked on points) and right now we are booked at Sheraton Vistana Resort on points also. May switch to the Dolphin but they don't have any room available on the 17th. Plan was to go to Seaworld (DD and I have passes from spring break so only need to get DS a ticket) and the Halloween Party as we have never been. Looks like there are 2-3 dates during that time that the party is taking place. I would rather not buy tickets way in advance and kind of wait and see what the weather forecast is right beforehand. Do those dates every sell out or am I pretty safe in doing that?

Your are very safe to do that. Around the end of August keep occasionally checking the tickets page to see it any dates have sold out (or check back here).

My strat if I have a couple days to choose from:

About a month before just start checking the tickets page each morning. It'll take you two minutes. If any of your dates sell out, then it's time to choose one. If not you're good to wait.

Just remember, you can save a few bucks buying in advance. Which just means don't buy the day of.

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?

What is it really called? Nothing pops for me on WDW Disney website as "sleepy" other than the snack shop at WDW.

Return to Sleepy Hollow. You have to call 407-WDW-Tour to get tickets

Thanks. I think I will wait and just keep checking. For the short time we are there - there are 3 parties.

I am soooo excited! I saw the military discount dates and prices and decided to see if any dates would work and then crunched some numbers. I will be taking my 2 boys for a quick weekend trip mid Sept., staying at Shades of Green and going the the Halloween party for the 1st time. I am hoping to keep it a surprise but planning costumes might be an issue. Any suggestions for a group set of costumes that are not too elaborate?
(It seems odd that I am trying to plan Halloween costumes in April)

If you want to keep simple and easy, costume t-shirts always work and you could just add accessories. It's also going to be hot so they're also practical as well. Might not win a costume contest but you'll be festive

It's gonna be my first time at the Party and I'm so excited!!!!!!!

I still cannot find online tickets, they said it will be available close to the event, but how close?
I'm afraid it sells out before I get chance to buy... when they used to make online tickets availabe?

Somebody said here that online tickets will be available on April 17th... if not you can always call using skype? I’m from Chile and I usually call Disney by skype, the call never costs more than a few cents

How do you plan to purchase tickets to the Halloween party using the military discount? I understand that they are available only at WDW.

Does anyone know when tickets start to sell out? We are waiting until free dining gets announced to finalize our dates. We will either be going end of September or beginning of October.

I called the Shades of Green ticket office today and you can order them over the phone. They will email you the forms to verify eligibility and ship tickets via FedEx 3-10 days for $10 shipping fee. I think you can also pick up at the ticket office but I didn't ask because I'm willing to pay the $10 to have tickets in hand to link to MDE and book FP+.
