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

[GillianP1301]

no Halloween decorations up yet at Magic Kingdom?

In the past when we were there the few days leading up to the party, the changeover was always a couple days before. I seem to recall overnight Tuesday decorations for a Friday party. So I would expect we should be seeing the decorations going up mid week.

I can't believe we are less than a week away from the first party!!

I’m still so confused about this Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket thing. Lol.
If I’m going Oct 11th should I be able to get one? Where in the park are they sold?
Also where in MK can I get one of the headless horseman straw clips? I need this!

Sort of a bummer that it sounds like some of this cool merch won't be available on August 31 (our date). But am I reading right that people wait 30 minutes or more in line just for the ability to purchase some of this stuff? If so .... well .... wow. I wouldn't be waiting in that kind of a line anyway.

At what time will the holiday overlays start on the rides? Will they only be available for the party or during the entire holiday season? If the party, will it start earlier than the party start time?

Glad we will be finally getting information about the party starting Saturday. I am lucky enough to be at Disney this Friday and Saturday but I will be at Disneyland though. I look forward to coming on here on Sunday and reading all the exciting reviews. I most looking forward to hearing about Space Mountain.

since it's the first time these rides will have an overlay we don't know for sure but I am assuming the effects will start at 7pm, only during party hours

Ok. Thank you. I wasn’t sure if they had done those before or not. I’ll keep checking before our Oct trip.

Help me decide which party to go to? Sept 3,7,9 or 11? The 11th looks like it would be the least crowded. Our first day is Sept 2, so the 3rd would be closest to the beginning, but that is Labor Day. The 7th is a Friday and the 9th is a Sunday. We have kids, but focus on characters and pictures, not candy (food allergies). So we would like to attend the least crowded night. BUT we are a family of 7, and as the trip progresses, people tend to get sick. Which puts us at the 3rd again.

you can pay $15 for them to be delivered to you via mail.

I’m behind so someone may have replied to this already but it didn’t cost us anything to have them delivered by mail.

Thanks, yes, you are correct I misspoke. Thanks for the correction.

I think I must have had a near-term party date in my cart, which gives different delivery options since the date is close - but unless you're right up on a date, you're right.

We will be there over those dates to, Well the last two. We decided to go on Sunday. There is a reason. The first time we ever went it RAINED and I'm not talking a little sprinkle. Everything but the fireworks had been canceled and handing out Candy. Half the rides were down becuase they were outside, and it was a wash, we had to get our money back. The second time it rained, but not the whole time so some things were postponed or like the Sanderson sister show it was just the intro and a song and done, Well better. The next time, last year, a hurricane came through and everything was canceled and we were moved to the next one. So with all of these in place we have allowed time to have one more shot at the party while we are there if something happens and it gets canceled or rained out again. A little rain is not bad, its FL we understand it rains. Thats why we are going on the 9th.

Hey everyone! I had to take some time off the boards and trying to get caught up now (Page 237 and counting haha) but I don't know if I'll be caught up by the time my FP window opens in a few days so I have a quick question. Suppose you have a FP from 3:30-4:30 booked on a party ticket and the ride goes down during that window. Does that mean I'd get an anytime FP that is good until 6:00? Or does it work differently with FPs booked on party tickets? Thanks! My goal is to be caught up by the first party cause I know after that the floodgates will open and I'll never catch up haha!!

We are there 8/31-9/12. We chose to go to the party on 9/3 because most kids have school the next day and we would rather have our park days when crowds are lowest which is the week and a half following Labor Day. It really made sense since we chose 9/4 as a rest day as well.

FP rules are the same regardless of what type of ticket they are booked on. If you would have been issued an anytime FP on a regular ticket then the same would happen if booked in a party ticket.

Hello my fellow DIS-ers.

I am in need of assistance from those of you attending this year's Halloween party.

Each year they release a special holiday card for the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game that is available only to party guests.

You get them at the Main St. Fire Hall.

If anyone can help, please PM me.

I will send you a SASE and all you have to do is stop by the Fire Hall, pick up a card (or cards if you have multiple people in your group...every guest can get one and I can always use traders) and drop it in the mail box right there on Main St.

No cost to you and only a minute or two of your time.

Many thanks

Michael

Getting excited!!! I was making my plans (ok, re-working them), and I honestly don't know how many meals I'm going be getting at my resort food court...but those refillable mugs are so precious I think I'm going to have to get one regardless! Just hoping they're out by 9/7 when I get there!!

How many do you want?

 

[disneybeautyfnp]

Ok, I have a question...If we are going during a week where more than 1 MNSSHP is being held and we are staying onsite, can we charge the purchase price of the tickets to our room using our magic bands?

Where did you find a picture of the refillable mugs?

I thought it was going to be the same as the general popcorn bucket with Minnie on broomstick and Chip and Dale as bats. One of the reports I read about the merch indicated that.
