"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

[Sakura1017]

Yep!

If it doesn't let you in a 7, something else is up, so post again if it doesn't work.

Thanks, i'm hoping it lets me book at 7 am, otherwise I definitely did something wrong when linking my account.

Also interested in an estimate of Pirates and Haunted Mansion lines before and during the party. I saw a chart somewhere (maybe easyWDW?) that said wait times for most rides except those with overlays were shorter during the party, but those with overlays still average about a twenty minute wait up until after the fireworks. I plan on checking several apps once the parties start to compare, but would appreciate hearing about others' experiences with wait times on rides that have overlays.

My beautiful son and our only child turned 16 years old yesterday!

Tonight we let him test drive my new car. Thrilling! Due to his condition we have decided he will not be getting his licence along with his peers. Instead he'll have to wait another year maybe two.

Aw, happy birthday little fox! Totally jealous of that LEGO set and if it makes you feel any better, my DD was 18 or 19 before she got her license.

Happy birthday to your son! I didn't get my license until my daughter was born and I was 30 years old. I was in Toronto and didn't need it. But by then we had moved to a rural area of Peterborough and I needed it.

However, my daughter has disabilities and we are putting off her license for a bit as well.

I just brought a ticket for the party yesterday, and my fast pass selection is today, but it keeps saying on my profile that I need to purchase tickets. I already linked the ticket to my account already. Is it giving me the error that I need a ticket because it's technically not 7 am EST? I thought we can technically still book rides since the event starts at 4pm?

I had the same issue. It worked correctly right at 7 AM EST however.

Thanks I got it to work as well. Sadly I'm only able to book 2 fast passes lol since it seems they cut off is 6 pm. Plus I'm eating at Ohana's earlier before that.

Does anyone know that if you do Haunted Mansion after 4 pm on halloween night, will they already have the halloween theme? Or do you have to officially wait after 6 pm?

 

[trishadono]

Anyone ever do 2 parties in one trip? We had considered adding a dessert party to our MNSSHP night but it’s only about $50 more to just do a second party

Dd and I did a Sunday had so much fun added the Tuesday after.

That was last year 9/16 and 18.

We loved it! Yet still was exhausted by 11 both nights lol. It was hot!

I'm glad it worked.

It depends on the time you book your FP. I was able to book 3 FP for the party.
3:30-4:30
4:30-5:30
5:30-6

After 7, actually, once the party officially starts.

For those asking, the wait for HM or POC between 4 and 6 *may* shorter than during the party, but just remember that 4-7 can be a madhouse all over the park as you have day guests still there and party goers entering. I've seen wait times for all rides inflated during that window due to the overlap. (We tried to ride Jingle Cruise before MVMCP one night and the wait was an HOUR!) But if you don't care about the overlays, I'd still suggest riding prior to the official party start time and using your party time on other exclusive events.

Ok, I consider myself somewhat up to speed on MNSSHP things but I’m stumped and feeling dumb. What is the Halloween theme at HM? Are we talking about the smoke and any magic shots out front?? I am probably botching something in my memory. Txs!

 

[joviroxx]

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered... Historically, at what time have they allowed check in for the dessert party? Trying to make a draft schedule and hoping we can check in earlier than the 8:45 to avoid the lines later.

You're back!!! So far there are only rumors about Bo Peep replacing Lotso and someone mentioned Dr. Facilier. Nothing has been confirmed for any characters, meet times or new costumes. Only a matter of time. Hey @yulilin3 has been on a roll, posting more info than bloggers and Disney! Gotta go back a few pages to see them!

Last year, first party, Pirates: I think the total wait was about 10 minutes. The overlay was three live pirates. Some people missed the first one but others stopped to gawk and that slowed things down. Second one kept saying the same thing over and over but was hard to hear over general noise. Third one tried to interact with people in boat but our boat ignored him. So do it during the party if you want something different but don’t feel like you’re missing much if you skip it.

CMs have the special HM makeup on and there is usually a PhotoPass photo. Last year there were multiple PhotoPass photos in different spots. The ghost with the carriage and lantern were both outside of the HM. The hitchhiking ghosts and hat box photos were both between the Liberty Square Riverboat and the HM.

I apologize if anyone misunderstood my post to mean that I was recommending line jumping during a party or any other time. However, a family of 4 queuing for a character, then dad taking child 1 for a snack or to the restroom and rejoining mom and child 2 in line is not what I would consider line jumping. Mom and child 2 have been holding the family’s spot the entire time. I would absolutely expect someone trying to sneak into a line to be escorted out of the park, but that’s not at all what I was talking about.

I totally get what you are saying. My point is that the people in line behind, say an estimated hour or so behind you' will not like to see this. From their point of view, it is easily construed as line hopping. Imagine being in the back of the Jack & Sally line with a posted wait of 2 hours (conservative) and you look up and gaze down that long long long que and you see a woman pulling her child into the line an hour up ahead. Don't you think those people have a reason to question what they are doing?

Most CM's will tell you that the policy is to que up together and to stay together. If you have to leave the que, then you return to the back of it. Advising people of anything other than that policy is problematic.

No one likes when others break the rules. Parents are not special (there are a ton of them). Smoker's must leave the park to smoke, All bags must be checked, You can't use extending selfie sticks, don't throw garbage on the ground, don't push shove or strike others, and don't leave the que or jump in front of others in line. Those are the rules (just some of them), no one is so special that they can break them whenever they feel like it. Even parents. Be the example that your child needs. Follow the rules.

I have done two in the past but I am doing three this year.
I decided to goto the first party since I will be there for an AP event. In October, we are traveling with another couple; it will be their first Halloween party so my wife and I will probably just cater to what they want to do. Then a couple days after we (wife and I) and going back to another party, just us, to enjoy it as we wish.

If the timing is right for you, and you enjoy either MK or just the special event in general AND you can afford it, I would recommend two parties for sure.

Posted a while ago about my Hook costume; do you guys think I'll be okay with a hook on my hand? I don't know how particular they are about costumes. The hook I have is literally a fancy dress one, no coat hangers or anything customised.

This was from 2017. No one gave us a hard time about it!

All - this thread is not for debating Disney rules. Period. The DIS is also not a place for personal arguments or personal judgements on behavior. Plenty of other corners of the Internet for that.

Time to move on.

So with the first party happening TOMORROW (yay!), my question for everyone going later is.... Will you watch the new fireworks videos from the vloggers or wait to be surprised by the new show when you get there?
I'm torn..... I like surprises, but then I also click on anything to do with the MNSSHP so fast and think about it later.

Nope - won’t watch any of it. Radio silence (for the most part).

Similarly, I have tried my hardest to avoid all SWGE discussion, chatter, and pics. I’d rather have a clean slate than preconceived notions.

Although I may peak at the chatter tomorrow to see if perimeter fireworks are involved so I can prepare myself to be disappointed if needed.
