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

[Cluelyss]

We decided last minute to bring our kids to party! Tossed everything in the car and drove 18 hours! We’re annual pass holders but have never been to the party!

Can’t wait to see everything tonight! Didn’t really have time to pull costumes together so just got everyone Jack Skellington tshirts and hats.

And woah... I think it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. I have 5 kids now lol

Awesome!!!!! Have a great time!!!!!

I'm having a "discussion" with my SIL about the early entry (4PM) to MNSSHP. He insists that people cannot get in that early every night and he wants to use one day of his park ticket to go to MK early in the day and stay until the party starts at 7PM. I've explained it over and over to him that party guests can enter as early as 4PM. Is this information printed anywhere that I can direct him to? Or are there any exceptions to the 4PM entry rule and he is correct? I told him I think he should save a day of his ticket to use later in the week because he will have a full 8 hours at the party from 4PM to 12AM.

He can view it from Kenny the Pirate: https://www.kennythepirate.com/2013/05/01/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party-dates-and-costs/

Or better yet on the DIS review: http://www.wdwinfo.com/walt-disney-...view-of-mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party/

Both state 4pm.

Has anyone seen any pictures of Donald and Daisy this year? DH and I are dressing as them for MNSSHP, and he had the idea to dress up as Donald and Daisy AND wearing whatever Halloween costumes they're wearing. Also, I hadn't seen any line reports for them. I'm guessing the line wouldn't be too long for them...nothing like Jack/Sally and Moana?

Can't speak to this year, but last year Donald was a pumpkin and Daisy was a princess. Last year we got in line for them probably 20 minutes before they came out and ended up being maybe the 20th group in line, and our overall wait time was close to an hour if I remember correctly. They spent a good amount of time with most groups goofing around with them, it was a great meet!

I didn't look, but I would be surprised if there were Halloween postcards. Disney World isn't big on postcards. I found that if I looked several years in a row, they would have the exact same postcards.

If there were Halloween postcards, I don't think they would be sold only during the party. I would think they would be like the Halloween merch which you can buy at any time.

This is MERE SPECULATION on my part, but I wanted to reply because nobody seems to be answering your question.

Thank you!

We arrive on Sunday 9/16 and don't have anything planned that day. We get in at like, 6am. Would it be ridiculous to get a party ticket that night, even though we already have one for 9/18?

We are doing both of those parties, so I wouldn't say it's ridiculous.

 

[K&T]

Not necessarily, Halloween, but the Wondergoround Gallery has a constantly rotating selection of postcards. They are usually lovely and suitable for framing. They change them a lot because the artists produce new work. There will be sets in a similar theme from a certain artist. Anyway, if you want postcards, that's the place to check. It's in Marketplace Co-Op at Disney Springs, but sometimes you may see some of their merchandise elsewhere.

Thanks for this info! We are going to Disney Springs before MK, so I will check at the Wondergoround Gallery.

They were wearing these costumes last Friday. We met them, Goofy and Minnie around 11:40 and waited around 5 minutes for Donald and Daisy and walked right up to Goofy and Minnie. We were back out in front of the castle before the 12:00 Hocus Pocus started.

 

[FoxC63]

I know that Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are roamers, but do they have a Photopass photographer following them? Or is it just a regular cast member who can take a picture with your own camera?

We met Br'er Rabbit & Bre'er Bear 2017, they were roaming, we did not ask for autographs and PhotoPass was not available.


EDIT: They had handlers who can take photos. Ours came our blurry so I took them, then my husband took the other.

Can you confirm Minnie and Donald & Daisy are two separate lines? Thank you!

Yep, it was two separate lines. While we were waiting for Donald and Daisy, they announced Minnie's line was closed and she walked up to the Disney Jr. Dance Party area and was sent back down to meet more guests. It worked out perfectly that we were able to meet her right away after Donald and Daisy.

 

[FoxC63]

It is every party. You get let it at 4pm for sure and sometimes as early as 3:45. Good luck trying to convince him. Although I must say party days are usually really nice to do MK because the park is a lot less busy since it closes so early.

So far it's only been at 4pm.

 

[FoxC63]

Is there any info on what merchandise is released at what time? I believe I read that some things are available at different times. Anyone have a list?

I’m seriously considering making 2 big changes:
1. Adding in a second night, so my niece can see the characters she wants; and
2. Swapping our ADR for the dessert party. I have health issues and will need a break, but the crowd volume is concerning me, as my husband is not good with crowds at all. We are already doing the HEA dessert party to deal with his crowd issues.

I really want a photo with my family and the Pooh characters. I’m not concerned about anyone else, but my niece desperately wants to meet Moana and Elvis Stitch, plus probably others. I’m not interested in merch, and I will watch the Hocus Pocus show but I don’t esp care if I don’t see it (I have never managed to get through the movie).

Even with all these, I feel like my evening is going to involve waiting in line for characters for my niece (the only kid in our group). I would rather go back another night, or pay for her and her mother to go a second night just for characters.

Edit: The Mouse is obviously reading my posts, because as I hit “submit” on this post, I received an email from Touring Plans’ reservation finder, with a non-MNSSHP dining reservation for BOG (we really want to meet the Beast). So I jumped on that, and now I’m attempting to move some other ADRs around so I can cancel dinner on our MNSSHP night and use the dessert party as our break instead. Hurrah!

 

[FoxC63]

Whew...finally caught up!

Asking again as couldn’t see a response - are the two Alex and Ani Halloween bangles party exclusives or can you buy them at other locations such as Disney Springs?

TIA

Bangles $39.99 each


You can find the Disney Halloween Party Bangles From Alex and Ani at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom on MNSSHP Nights while supplies last!

We are already in the park. Do we go to the park entrance at 4 to get our bands?

From the FAQs at the beginning of the thread, if you already have your party ticket then you don’t need to go to the park entrance:

• Oh, my! I'm already in the park. Do I have to exit and re-enter for MNSSHP? No, there are checkpoints within the park to check-in and receive wristbands for MNSSHP!

Locations
Tortuga Tavern (Adventureland)
Mickey's PhilharMagic (Fantasyland)
Buzz Lightyear (Tomorrowland)

My family is in line at 3:40 - about 10 deep waiting in our line for the 4pm open. I’d guess at least a couple hundred waiting. Looks like they are still selling tix, so not a sell out

 

[Best Aunt]

I was really hoping people from the first few parties would flood the board with their pics of characters, magic shots, prop shots, etc.....

Hey, I provided pictures of my fireworks shots with me ghosted out! And my magic shots with me cropped out.

The only character photos I did were Elvis Stitch, Gaston with Belle, Cinderella and Elena. My back was bothering me too much to stand in line.

I arrived after 6:00 so I missed the Bypass and any props which were there.

I would post my cupcake and pumpkin cheesecake but I took those pictures outside in the dark so you will find better ones online.

Did you get many Magic Shots or photo props taken. You need not post them if you don't want to, you can PM me. I just want to confirm locations for the Magic Shot thread. Thank you so much!
