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

[PAGA2003]

Ha! My DD15 is wearing a Foolish Mortal shirt I found on Etsy, she is not about the costumes this year. I am wearing a shirt with some of the Villains that says "squad goals".

Yep I picked it up on Etsy as well! I also got a Tightrope Walker Girl dress for my daughter from another seller (Nana's Sewing Closet) that looks fantastic! She's only two so she still wears what I say The squad goals shirt sounds cute!

Yeah we decided it was too hot for costumes, plus it's a quick weekend trip and we're only bringing backpacks so less to pack.

I think they may be doing this as the popcorn buckets, etc that were announced yesterday on the WDW site says they're not available until mid-September. With the first party starting Aug 17th it seems like they are in a way holding some things back.

They really can't win for losing as people going to the earlier parties are not happy that the Sept release stuff will not be available when they're there.

The only solution I can see (and personally the one that makes the most sense) would be that they have X number of each limited item available at each party. At 7:00 all the limited edition stuff gets put out at each party and the first people to get there are the ones able to purchase it. This would be the fairest way I can see for each party guest to have the opportunity to purchase limited edition items.

Might be somewhat of a logistical nightmare for Disney but seems to be the most fair way to do it. Thoughts?

(Classify this in the category of, 'If I ran Disney.....' )

I'd like to see something like they do with the SOTMK cards: everyone guaranteed 1

Or actually I want pre-party purchase. When you buy your MNSSHP Party Tickets, you have the option to prepurchase (ie pay for) certain/most party specific items. You would be able to make these purchases up to 48 hours before your party. Pick up during party. items would still be available for general purchase, but that quantity would be more limited. If you cancel tickets, purchases are cancelled.

I have been to other events where this is done and it always works out well.

Can you send this to guest relations? Lol

Seriously! This is a great idea!!

Not necessarily party related but....

** SPECIAL NOTICE **

It appears that Disney has cancelled the Aug 20-24 refurbishment of Be Our Guest as there is a lot of availability for breakfast, lunch and supper! If you want a BoG reservation during these dates you may wish to look. We just booked 2 on dates that were previously not available!!

Thank you so much! I've been trying for ever to get a ressie there for 8 people and just got it for my trip next week thanks to your post!!!

I'd be happy to if someone could PM me the most appropriate email (or snail mail) address. (There are more details and logistics behind what I'm thinking that I didn't write here (they are in my brain) but I would expound on them before submission for the Mouse.)

Has anyone actually been to the Return to Sleepy Hollow Night at Fort Wilderness Campground??

There is just such limited information...even Disney Tours doesn't have anymore info than has already been posted here. Wanted to know if anything above the $22 General Admission price is worth it?

@FoxC63 has a review from last year posted in the MNSSHP Strategy thread!

I have the premium booked for this year, but won't be attending until Oct. 29th, so that won't be much help....

I honestly just use the guest services email and I’ve always had good luck with getting a response. I would consider sending an email as well if you can post what you are going to send to them.

It was really neat! The VIP section gets you closer to the screen and first meets with the Headless Horseman.
We did the general one and it was fine.
They screen the movie in the barn where the Headless Horseman’s horses are kept. Very cool.
The meet and greet was neat too.
It’s a real horse and a real man (but behind a gate so little ones can’t get underfoot of horse!)

Wow. That is awesome.

This makes so much sense so in that case it will never happen lol. Seriously though it appeases both sides. It reserves the merchandise for people who want it at the later parties, and it ensures items are sold on the Disney side, thus preventing them from dumping off on outlets for quarters on the dollar. Both sides win IMO. Excellent idea!

no Halloween decorations up yet at Magic Kingdom?

I’ve heard it reported they normally go up overnight the night before the first party. If this is the case the park will be transformed this Thurs night in time for Friday’s party!
