LOVE this! So cute!!! I might have to copy this idea for my trip!!!

please do! It wasn't hard, I just got some material that was mostly black and used fusible web and ironed it on and then went around it with black t shirt paint. After that was dry, I just free handed the spider web with glow in the dark paint.

I'd ask to be moved to the outdoor location to view the fireworks. It never hurts to ask.

I decided to ask. I spoke with a different cast member, as the one I spoke to yesterday was off today. The CM I spoke with today checked with someone when I asked if I could switch to the Plaza Garden dessert party and when she came back said that everyone with parade viewing was going to be in the grassy plaza area for the fireworks. I said that is a really big change and that yesterday I was told I'd be sitting at Tomorrowland Terrace. She put me on hold again and then came back and told me that I would watch them from the Plaza - the restaurant - and that yes, if I came in late that tables in front would likely be filled so I may have to move forward to see the higher fireworks as, yes, there was the overhang. I tried to briefly confirm/clarify she meant we'd be at the Tomorrowland Terrace, not the Plaza Garden (or Plaza restaurant) and she said "the Terrace."

I asked if it was possible to still change to the Plaza Garden View party. She said yes, and when I asked if i would be able to keep the reserved Boo to You parade area if i switched, she said no as that was an exception. I had to go pick up someone so I said I would try to call back later. I may or may not try calling again to try to switch.

This is not at all what I was suggesting. I'm sorry I should have been more clear. When you go to the dessert party and you don't like the table you are offered THEN ask if you can sit outside to watch the fireworks with the Plaza guests. Don't just ask the first CM you see, find the manager who's actually capable of giving you an informed decision. Even if the answer is no, you can still grab your desserts and find a place on your own. Firework locations are a non issue, it's the parade viewing and the desserts which makes this package work.

I can try that, too. I really just didn't want to do a lot of plan changing and maneuvering at the party given it's just me with the kids. I could be wrong, of course, but the fireworks view i do think will be a consideration for my younger one - she's small - so a place we won't have people directly in front of us, e.g., tables or plaza garden, works; or, showing up early to a spot that has some space in front of it somehow. Anyway, the less futzing with plans during the party, the better. Probably if I'd been to a MNSSHP before it'd feel like less to me, but I haven't so it's the unknown.

If Aladdin is the favorite movie did you know Aladdin in his Prince Ali outfit meets with Abu? And Jasmine with the Genie? Or did you meet them at the MVMCP?

We met Jasmine and Genie at the MVMCP, but completely missed out on Aladdin and Abu. That's on the list for sure

If we trick or treat and are flying with carry on only can we bring it he candy home or does that go against the rules? We never fly.

We bring our treats in our carry on all the time. I will note our last trip we had so many snack credits left that I brought home a lot of fudge in like 4 boxes and got pulled at security as apparently the boxes fudge looked suspicious on the xray. They tested my hands and then went through my carry on then they found out it was a bunch of fudge. Normally, I would have found this amusing and been glad they were being cautious but I was extremely sick and dizzy and standing there that long made me feel worse. I wish they would have chairs over there if you're waiting to be extra screened as I almost fell over. Next time we will send the treats in clear ziplocs in a bin outside of the carry on then put them in the carry on after security.

We brought our candy home last time (August 2016) with no issues. This time we are driving so it really won't be a concern!

Hocus Pocus​

A look down memory lane...
​

Hocus Pocus movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Katy Najimi was released on July 16, 1993 and Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular! first debuted at WDW in 2015. This year Disney will be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary!

2015
Disney released three women's "Costume T-shirts" that resembled the Sanderson Sisters’ outfits. Disney Design Group artist Richard Terpstra used high-resolution images of the actual dresses from the live-action film to design the T-shirts.


Richard also designed the “Sanderson Sisters Witch Museum” graphic that was on a short-sleeve tee, long-sleeve tee and hooded sweatshirt.


For those attending the MNSSHP in October these were available and sold out quickly.

2016
The Costume T-shirts were released again but with a looser fit.

And Disney offered costume T-shirt inspired by the character William “Billy” Butcherson (left) as well as graphic T-shirt and hooded sweatshirt with artwork created by Disney Design Group artist Cortney Williams. The artwork features dialogue and iconic elements from the film.


And two more his/her T-shirts for the party


along with an ornament and Exclusive AP Pin.

2017
What a year! In 2017 Disney offered these unique items but just prior to the first party or so it was all pulled, rumor has it, it was due to legal/copyright issues.


What I did find in late October were the "redesigned" Hocus Pocus merchandise.
T -shirt / Tank top / ornament


I'm super excited to see what Disney cooks up for us this year during MNSSHP.

We brought our candy home last time (August 2016) with no issues. This time we are driving so it really won't be a concern!

Will it really make it home though? lol. If I drove home I would either eat it all or throw it at people who annoy me on the road.

Being a nurse I would have said it would be quicker just to test it for occult blood anyone have a slide and developer on them????

I wouldn’t make it a mile especially on the turnpike where I live!!!

I always tell people I wish life was like Mario Kart and that I could shoot a turtle at some people

I just literally had an incident on the way home and that turtle shell could’ve come in handy

No real words of advice here, but for the FWIW file, me and DS showed up very late to the Tomorrowland Terrace dessert party sometime last year and were given one of the "inferior" tables nearly all the way to the right (if facing the castle).





Granted, this wasn't during MNSSHP and they may do things differently for MNSSHP versions of the party (but I wouldn't really think so?). But, I wasn't complaining about this view at all and we had a wonderful night despite being probably the last two people to show up.

I know not much help (and YMMV of course), just wanted to say I hope it all works out for you.

Are the rides/attractions open to party members during that 6:00-7:00 buffer hour. Or do they halt people from getting in line after 6:00, then reopen them at 7:00?

 

[tbird89]

Another question, do the meet the character lines during MNSSHP work the same as the rides where you can line up all the way until closing time. Say you walk up to the Seven Dwarfs line at 11:55 and there are still a good number of people in line, about a 30 minute wait, will they still allow you to get in line?

Lines only close to day guests at 6

No. Lines will get cut off depending on how many are in the line
