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

That is freaking adorable! I'm doing it! I love yours and our dates dont overlap but I think I'll do Snow White. I will make hubby Grumpy (it isn't a stretch) and can just throw together a red shirt and make a hat for him to wear with tan shorts.

Thanks! The Snow White looks super cute too!
 
Just today, the soon to be 17 teen has decided since her friend was going to the 24 party, why can’t we?

Oh my. This is from a kid that said years ago, and most recently, not interested, no way. Uh huh. So, see ya all that night.

Oh, and last time I jokingly complained to the CM handing out candy, I had to deal with my then 13 year old daughter, the CM got three bags, filled them high with candy and gave them to me, saying she was sorry for me. We had a good laugh and even more laughter when going through airport security on the way home. :rotfl:
 

I would HIGHLY recommend you take a change of clothes to the park. It is melt-your-face-off hot in August and you couldn’t pay me to wear poly to the parks! It will be nice to have an option to change if you find your dress is too hot.
AGREE! I'm going in my Incredibles onesie costume to the first party this Friday, and I 100% am bringing a change of clothes just in case I find it too warm. Since we're talking summer clothing to change into here, it's so lightweight and packs so small that it's really not an inconvenience to bring with in my park bag.
 
Anyone wanna try an tackle this complicated FP situation? lol...

Sorry for another one of "these" posts, but I have a complicated question about 60 day fast pass/MNSSHP...
Here's a quick rundown (2 separate resort reservations, 7 day ticket ((5 days used for Halloween trip, 2 used for Christmas)) , MNSSHP ticket)... its complicated! Here we go...

1. I have a 7 day ticket that can be used over the course of 60 days (for DVC members) so I'll use 5 days Oct 15-19 and the other 2 in December
2. Oct 13th, arriving at Polynesian (staying there 13-16 then switching to Animal Kingdom from 13-20 which is a different reservation number)
3. Not going to park on 13th, on the 14th only going for MNSSHP at 2pm, then will be in parks 15-19th (Mon-Fri)

As of today. I'm only 62 days out from my trip (according to My Disney Experience). So Tuesday morning will be 60 days from arrival, but 61 days from MNSSHP and 62 days from actual park ticket use.

Can I make Fast Pass reservations for all 5/6 days on the 60 day mark (kinda like you do with dining)? Or do I need to get up early every day for a week to make FP choices.

Can I make FP reservation on the day that I'm only using my MNSSHP? Also, since I'm DVC I can get in at 2:00.
 
Can someone tell me the chances of this......

1st I am devastated there is no priority seating for the parade. If I have garden plaza viewing, how soon will they let us into that seating. The parade starts at 915 and shouldn't be in that area til 930. Is that even a viable plan. The desserts are sort of meh and the fireworks viewing area is really where the value is. If i could get a view of the parade it becomes gold value. Also i downgraded from terrace viewing from plaza viewing. Without the parade it makes it not as valuable imo.

Thanks for your input. 1st time poster doing our 2nd visit to the parks on 9-13. Mnsshp on 9-16 and totally geeked!
 
I'm gonna pick up some overtime in the next couple weeks...... I NEED the countdown to Halloween, and the Halloween shirt. Maybe the jack hands to go with the Mickey and Stitch hands I already have......

My husband is working his weight in overtime till we leave on the 30th LOL! I sent him this video and told him everything I needed and he made sure he was getting OT. haha!
 
Love it all!
We're going with a premier ticket on 10/7. I wanted the earlier time but it was all sold out when I booked and I booked a pretty long time ago! I hope we can stay up late enough for the 10pm showing. Our MNSSHP is the next night, too and that morning is EMH at AK :(

Nice! Glad you were able to reserve a spot!
FYI to anyone else considering this event...call NOW and book it!! I called today and ALL of the 8:00pm times are GONE. They only have a small handful of spots even left at all. Since my DS11's birthday is coming up, Oct. 21, I was able to book Ultimate tickets for him, and I, and DS9. Killing two birds with one stone for me! LOL! And the boys are going to be STOKED. I'm excited to see how this Dessert Party goes since it's the first year this event is doing a dessert party. My kids have always wanted to try a dessert party but we can never seem to catch an opening. Very excited!!

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!)

Oh, my gosh. I LOVE IT!! My sons are going to love this. That meet and greet alone is worth it!! LOL

Small caveat that YMMV in case they decide to run the MNSSHP dessert differently than last year or a regular HEA dessert party... but... official check-in for the Plaza Garden party is 8:45pm, 1.5 hours before fireworks time. Reports are often that check-in will start a bit before that, but that can vary by the night.

You check in at the Tomorrowland Terrace area and they escort you to a seat for desserts... but baring recent changes you should be able to go ahead and go to the garden after you're seated if you choose.

I have watched Boo to You from the Plaza Garden - but it is not an ideal spot. You are behind a large sidewalk and several rows of people from the parade route. The garden is ever so slightly elevated - so it helps a bit. Viewing of head-high and up is OK, anything lower not so much. I've put DS on my shoulders from here (since no one behind me) and it's a great view from that height. But tough on the back! :-)

The night we did this, we watched the second parade "for real" on a curb and just did the first one from the garden since we were already there (and the desserts don't really appeal that much to us).

Anyway, sorry, long-winded. Hope it helps.

BTW, :welcome: to the DIS.

Given what you describe, Tuesday will open up your FP booking window for the entire length of your split-stay.

I did not make any FP's for my party night in fear they would yank away my last days FP's (I scored a SDD for 11am)!!

I’m too dense to understand this and now worried: am I not permitted any FP for a MNSSHP day (only)? I, too, got a SDD for our last park day and I would be crushed if I lost it.
