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

[FoxC63]

For those attending tonight Have a great party!

 

[FoxC63]

Does anyone know when you can purchase the HM popcorn buckets? We are DVC so plan on getting there around 3 and I know we can purchase merchandise before the party starts but didn't know about the popcorn buckets.

I had to laugh when GADisneyDad14 posted about not knowing where the Golden Oak Oupost is, because I too had to look on the map. I cant remember ever going there in all my visits.

Ezra sipper: Pecos Bills ( Not Sure ), Columbia Harbor House (closes 8pm & sells them at 7pm)

Phineas PC bucket: PC cart in Frontierland (right across from Pecos Bill - Not sure), Liberty Square PC Cart (6:30)

Gus which has donuts: Golden Oak Outpost (6:55).

Pumpkin Mickey PC Bucket: Available at several popcorn carts near the hub and Tomorrowland near space mountain. Not sure what time they sell them.

Hopefully tonight's party goers can fill in the blanks!

I'll keep that in mind. We just listed it on everything because I had a terrible reaction at one of the restaurants in EPCOT (which was handled very poorly) earlier in the trip, and we didn't realize everything was prepackaged.

The allergy plate was so so so so bad. Inedible. That has really turned me off of booking a dessert party of any type again. I wish I had taken a photo of it. Compared to a few years ago it was night and day different...in a bad way.

WOW, so sorry to hear this! My mom has a dietary restriction that is not an actual allergy so I always mark other on ADRs. I got a call about a week before my Fantasmic! dessert package and a CM asked me specifics on what the issue was and what could/couldn't be consumed. Upon check-in, they had a special box for her in a separate refrigerator with her name on it. It was definitely not a pre-packaged meal. It was custom and items she could not ingest were removed and swapped with other desserts. I wonder if they changed the process?

I would say probably not just given the monorail has the potential to be pretty full when it gets to CR.

Just a one moment in time example, but last year at a mid/late Sept party we left just after midnight heading back to GF. Express monorail was closed (either intentionally or due to closure, I’m not sure), so all monorail traffic was routed to the Resort line. Line was long. GF/Poly boat line was really long too. I flipped a coin and chose monorail, which was a bad idea. While the boat line was super long (longest I have ever seen), several came in a row (including a big one) which churned through the people in line relatively quickly. I sat and watched crammed in the Resort monorail line kicking myself for my decision.

So, for Poly I’d either GF/Poly/MK boat, or the Ferry Boat to the TTC and just walk.

That GF walking path cannot come soon enough! I am at CR for MNSSHP and Poly for MVMCP. Hoping I can walk back to GF from DAH in April!

As a DVC member were did you get your wristband at 3:00pm? Was it in front of the Magic Kingdom or at your resort ? Thanks.

There was a blue sign that said DVC members by a tapstyle last year. It was roped off and said "event entrance" on the top. I assume at 4pm the rope and sign came down and other MNSSHP attendees entered there.

Apologies if this has already been covered - for those that have attended a party, did you ride PoC around the start of the party (7ish)? If so, how was the line? Or, what time did you ride it with little wait time? Trying to put together an itinerary...

Yep, the DVC entrance was like that this year too

We also attended our first MNSSHP on our Disney moon . Take a look at the first few posts and pick no more than 8-10 experiences that you feel you must do (not including ToT but try to do that a bit later) and make a plan based on reports you see here. Lines are usually shorter during parades. Congrats and have fun!!

Character lines are different than parades too.

Character breaks are timed and flowed partially by how large the parties in line are. People are given estimates about the time based on length of the line. If everyone is not in line with their family, character attendants can not optimally time character breaks or tell other families an estimated wait time. That’s having a negative impact on other people. Also young children going to the bathroom in a one hour line is looked at differently than 3 school aged kids going to space mountain and coming back.

If you take up four spots on the parade route, the parade still starts when it starts.

This is nonsense.

Character breaks are timed by....time. They go when they go and it has nothing to do with how many people or how many groups are or are not in line.

Every character line I wait in at parties is full of people ducking in and out, getting snacks or drinks, going to the restroom, people on the phone saying, "I'm getting near the front" etc. There is no valid reason why a whole group has to stand in the line the whole time - and the character attendants agree with me.

In front of Magic Kingdom! The righthand side of the turnstiles had a lane reserved for DVC party entry. A coordinator was checking for DVC Member card and ID before proceeding to the ticket scanners.

We haven’t been to a party in an few years and I’m buying tickets to the Sept. 15 party today. We are only going to the party, no park tickets so no magic bands. Last time we had to wait in line at guest services because we bought tickets online and didn’t have anything sent to us. If we buy tickets and have them shipped, do we still have to wait in line at guest services at the park, or can we take them directly to the turnstile? I’m trying to figure out the easiest and quickest way to get into the park because last time the wait at guest services line was LONG! I’m getting so excited!

I bought tickets today for an October party and received an email with the ticket barcode. The email says to proceed to the park entrance and show the email, credit card used for purchase, and valid ID for entry.

That’s what we did last time and had to wait in line at guest services with the email and our drivers license. I’m really hoping to avoid that if possible.

Thank you

Congratulations!
Start with the first page of this thread, and feel free to ask any questions those posts don’t answer!!
The most important thing you need to remember is have a plan!! You won’t be able to do it all in one night, so decide what are you most do’s and go from there!

 

[Cluelyss]

If anyone going tonight happens to check Moana’s line after the parades/fireworks I would be SUPER grateful

I headed directly to her line immediately following the fireworks last year, and waited less than a half hour. Many reported the same results in 2018 so it’s definitely a good plan!

Unfortunately we don’t. Thanks for the idea though!
