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

They are on main street. They come out to help pass the time as it takes 20 minutes for the parade to get there......frontier land i heard they do a costume parade

The Brer characters were out in the street dancing in Frontierland before the second parade on Tuesday.

@foodiddiedoo - Given that the DVC members are your friends and that you are staying with them, I am assuming they are already OK with coming back to the gate to meet you. I feel like since you are ONE person trying to get in and if you and your DVC friends ask nicely, you have a pretty good chance of getting let in.

But, let’s consider the logistics/practicality. There really is a small window between 2:00 and 3:45ish. If your friends are going to hang in the front of the park and you think you’ll get there around 2:30, then I can see the practicality. But, if they get in at 2:00 and want to go ride until you arrive, and you don’t get there until 3:00, then you might as well wait to get in at 3:45. It doesn’t seem that the hassle/inconvenience to your friends would really pay off.

And that would only work if the DVC member, who wanted to enter the Magic Kingdom before the friend got there, had an Annual Pass or other theme park admission to use to get in the park the first time.

They all have annual passes and will be in Magic Kingdom for their park for that day. I was just hoping my ticket would show I'm on a DVC reservation, otherwise I'd ask someone to come out and get me, just don't want to interrupt their fun.

If we’re watching the parade from the flagpole (parade viewing with the dessert party), approximately what time is the Headless Horseman?

I have a photo timestamped at 9:14 PM of the Headless Horseman. We were sitting right across from the flagpole (in front of Main Street Confectionary).

edit: I also have a photo timestamped at 9:25 PM of the Zootopia dance party (before the parade starts). They start the Zootopia dance party on the Main Street "straightaway" and then move it closer to the flagpole. So, don't be afraid that you'll miss it if you're at the flagpole. They'll move the party that way as the parade gets closer.

I found a spot where I enjoyed watching the fireworks during the first party, and have mentioned it here to help people going to later parties.

I shall Obliviate all of you in November so that nobody is in My Spot if I go next year.

Cripes, I realized later that this didn't sound good. Not everybody knows that Obliviate is a Harry Potter spell to wipe people's memories. Kind of like the flashy thing in Men In Black.

I know I'm not as funny as I think I am.

The DVC early entry is not about being on the DVC member's room reservation. For example, if you are on their reservation but didn't want to go to the party, they could take in people who do want to go to the party, even if those people are not on their reservation.

I was all over obliviate.

What you need is to have a DVC member with a DVC blue membership card escort you in the park. What your ticket says is not relevant. DVC members who bought a DVC contract prior to 2015 (approximately), or members who bought DVC point contracts of at least 25 points (now 75 points) direct from Disney (not bought resale) as of last January are entitled to a blue DVC card that gives that owner some extra perks, like cheaper AP’s, special events like moonlight magic events, and in the case of the MNSSHP, admission to the Party as early as 2 using the Party ticket. I hope that explains it.

@OhioStateBuckeye Thanks you have been a life saver! I guess the biggest question I have that I havent found is if we enter at 2 with the DVC membership will they give us our band then or will we have to pick up later and when do all the magic shots start? Again thanks so much for all your help!

Maybe someone has experience with this but I'd think you could get your band. When you go to the tapstyles I would like for a MNSSHP entrance sign and make sure to go in that entrance. If you don't see anyone handing bands out ask.

I have watched from here too. It was very nice and not crowded at all....

Do you have any photos you can post of the fireworks? Thank you!

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Not the original poster you asked @FoxC63 but is this the location you were wondering about?

I was at the 1st party on 8/17 (1st parade) and this was my experience as well. Anyone in costume was encouraged to join them. Lots of fun!

Thanks - you made me feel better!

Silly question- is there a good guesstimate of a wait time for TOT lines? I know that even though lines look long, they move quickly but I'm currently thinking of spending from about 7:20-8:15 PM of our party night TOTing around Fantasyland and Liberty Square. With 5 candy stops between them, is that too little time to devote to TOTing or could we do more than 5 in that time? Just trying to gauge. Thanks!!
