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

Did they really, how sad! That sounds like a cool keepsake!

They did. Nothing like that last year.

Do the dessert parties get booked pretty fast? Would we need to book it the day they become available?

The Plaza Garden party has a large capacity and you generally have a lot of time to book. Although I didn’t closely follow booking patterns on MNSSHP party nights last year so I don’t have a good feel for if/when they eventually may sell out. We did the Plaza Garden version around a Labor Day weekend MNSSHP last year and it was pretty darn empty.... like really empty. Nowhere near a sellout.

The Tomorrowland Terrace party has a much smaller capacity and is very prone to selling out. Even moreso if it really does have parade viewing this year. I’d be on that like a hawk if it’s your choice.

 

[Cluelyss]

Who was watching for CRT dinners to open? Saw on another page it's finally live!

 

[Haley R]

They do usually sell out, but not on release day.

I think I would want to wait until after hearing reports from people who do one of the dessert parties first, but that may be too late.

We would just be trying for the Garden View party. We are doing two different MNSSHP dates so I'm not too worried about getting a spot for the parade. We will do one night at Frontierland and another night on Main Street.

Likely yes. I plan to book then cancel if needed.

What's the cancellation policy? Is it still the 24 hours?

 

[GADisneyDad14]

The MK dessert party (parties) cancellation policy is five days in advance.

 

[Haley R]

The MK dessert party (parties) cancellation policy is five days in advance.

Oh okay. I will probably go ahead and book one when they become available then. I kind of figured it was like DAH where there was a no cancellation policy.

Yeah, it’s like a normal ADR just with a longer cancellation period. I hate to be a reservation hog myself, but at times I’ll book a few as I’m mapping out a potential trip and then tinker later when plans firm up.

I do it at times, too. I always try to cancel them at least a week before my trip so someone can snag them and usually I end up getting rid of them pretty far in advance. I also will post them on here to see if anyone wants first dibs on them.

Ticketing question...We are at WDW for 14 days but, obviously, we can only go into the big 4 for 10 days on reg tickets. We have a Halloween party scheduled in the middle on a non-park day and plan to go in after 4pm on that ticket. Will the magic bands know its for Halloween and not use up one of our regular days?

 

[FoxC63]

Oh I know I saw that they were wrong with their predictions on previous years that I attended, which is why I am curious to see how this year’s holds up.

I never put much stock in to crowd calendars/crowd predictors so I am not too worried about it either way

Smart cookie!

It should as long as you go through the event entrance. There will be a separate entrance to go through. It’s near the middle of all of the turn stiles. We made the mistake of not doing that for after hours and it used one of our park tickets instead. We got it fixed but I wouldn’t risk it again.

thanks for the info....doing that to be safe

 

[Ceilidhscot]

Can someone tell me what the crowd prediction is for the 11th October as I can’t get the touring plans website to load that page. Thanks

For those of you who are interested in the Dessert Party, they are now available to book!

 

[AlisaMom]

I've just managed to book Terrace Dessert Party for 8/24 on-line (and I've got a confirmation e-mail and number). Again, may be it's system glitch.

 

[Eponine178]

I just booked as well this morning. Online. Terrace Dessert Party for 10/11. It seems to be open!

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Finally.
Curious, Plaza Garden still has parade info under "Know before you go". I booked Terrace, to be safe, but may switch if parade is with Plaza Garden...
