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

[Cluelyss]

We are doing the party on Oct 1st. Have they announced whether DVC members would be able to enter at 2 PM like last year? Planning out our park tickets for our niece that is coming with us on this trip.

Not yet. I don’t expect we’ll hear that until closer to the start of the parties.

Hopefully they will keep jack n sally at the theater so we can get in line early like last year. I am also hoping that they will hand out the party bands in this line as well same as last year.

Haven't been in two years so the closing time for the park was 7:00 when the party started. So with it closing at 6:00 are the rides still going during that hour between 6 and 7?

Yes, you'll need a party wristband to enter the queue.

Are the line ups for the magic shots long?

Not too long. Sometimes no lines at all. But sometimes towards the end of the evening as many people are leaving there may be a five minute wait, depending on the shot.

Oh, I didn't know they did that. That's great! How long did you end up waiting to meet them?

For many years we have been able to do that, make FP on our party tickets.

4:30-5:30
5:30-6pm
I have not read of any new changes.

Traditionally BBB has been children only, (officially Guests ages 3 to 12). Adults who want a similar experience can book a "Character Couture" make over. The packages are similar to BBB, with either makeup (eyes and lips, no face or contouring) and hair, or makeup, hair, and nails. Each package includes a tiara, but there are no suggested characters. They do not sell dresses/outfits or other accessories for adults. I did the Magical Makeover (makeup and hair) with the Emily, the Beating Heart Bride, from the Haunted Mansion as the inspiration. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...couture-packages-at-walt-disney-world-salons/

the headless horseman shot esp can be long at the end of the night as people are leaving

Thanks - could you share any pics from your makeover? It sounds really cool.

 

[Sjm9911]

They do have a show for that at the fort. Its limited but is the movie and closeups with thr headless horseman. If you have time to do that, additionally he shows up at the chip and dale show for free at the fort.

Only if it's available during your stay, these were the dates in 2018.

The “Return to Sleepy Hollow” begins on September 28 at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground: September 28-30, October 3-7, October 10-14, 17-21, 24-31 at 8 and 10 p.m.

additionally he shows up at the chip and dale show for free at the fort.

Here's the link for Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long for those interested:

EDIT: I think meeting the Headless Horseman at the above mentioned event is on select days Oct 30 & 31? I thought I read you could go to the Tri-Circle-D Ranch stables to see him prior to his appearance at Boo To You Parade.

Much much longer!

Mini-report, MNSSHP & Magical Makeover (Character Couture) because sherlockmiles asked for it.

I was asked to share more about my Magical Makeover experience, so here’s my report from last year’s MNSSHP. Before we begin you should know that Halloween is *very* important to me, and in fact I was celebrating a special occasion:


Our day started with a ‘afternoon tea’ at the Grand Floridian Garden View tearoom. I put afternoon in quotes because our reservation was at noon. The tea was amazing, and at the end we had a special cake brought out from the back. This was a huge event for us, as the baker, a special chef, and it felt like half the staff came out to make sure everything was right. It was. The cake will remain one of most treasured memories, and the cake topper (matching chocolate skulls) are enshrined in a glass cloche bell jar on my book shelf (just like the Beast’s Rose in Beauty and the Beast).


I’d checked into the Ivy Trellis salon on our way to tea, and was reminded that I needed to come back 15 minutes before my appointment. Thus I was back in the salon at 1:30 (15 minutes before my appointment). And they told to wait. And wait some more. The salon is very small with about 3 chairs out front. There weren’t any look books or photos to review. It’s basically you staring into space. You are asked not to leave the salon. Sigh. Finally we started!

First up was hair. They do not wash your hair or condition. They do use a lot of hair spray so if you’re sensitive to smells be warned. Also, every package comes with a tiara which didn’t apply in my case, so I was handed the tiara in plastic wrap. There are bows and ribbons available, but I wasn’t offered any. (The 8 year old next to me was. I try not to be bitter about that. )

I showed the designer vintage Haunted Mansion Beating Heart Bride (Emily, *not* Constance) photos and explained that I wanted a half up, half down, with my veil in place. We chatted for a few minutes with him explaining his ideas. He suggested we pin up half my hair and then curl the remainder. I was wary of that taking too long, but he assured me not to worry about it.

You are given 90 minutes for the makeover. I’ve since been told that my stylist was bad about going over. Knowing my hair, I expected to go over and asked once in person and twice on the phone to get more time. Based on when the person who came after me arrived I don’t think I got it. I feel a bit guilty about that.

Hair took until 3:45, at which point I was starting to get anxious. First because we had a fast pass and dinner coming up. Second because it was pouring rain outside.

I had read online so I was prepared for the makeup not to include any “face” work. That means (in theory) no blush or contouring. I ended up getting that. They use regular make up kits, not the throw away one-per-person kits you see at pirates league. I brought my own lipstick because I wanted long wearing, and that wasn’t a problem.

I’m going to stop here to confess I have a problem with glitter. Well, not really a problem but an addiction. I asked for all the glitter. And boy, did I get it. After eye shadow, eye liner, fake eye lashes, lip liner, and lip stick we applied glitter. Everywhere. Glitter dust for my hair, my face, it was awesome.

It was also 4:30. My 90 minute appointment took 2.5 hours not including a 30 minute wait at the beginning. I was very glad my partner brought a snack for me.

My biggest surprise came at the end, when I learned there is no photo option. At BBB they have sets and photopass. Here they have nothing. I asked my stylist to take some photos of me just outside the doors but that was about it.



Pictures took a bit and then waiting for the monorail, so we ended up at MNSSHP about an hour later than planned. While the rain had stopped the humidity steamed off the side walk. I blame that for the way my curls immediately straightened despite what felt like an entire can of hair spray and card of pins. Here’s us on main street, the very first thing we did after coming in from the GF.




And much later in the night


The makeup held, and my veil and up-do were fine for the whole evening. The curls were a waste of time and effort, but I suspected that would happen. Taking off the makeup was a bit of a trick, but that’s because I don’t usually wear any. You are expected to tip the hair stylist (and I did.) The makeover cost isn’t cheap - $105, but considering an up-do for long hair is $90, I was okay with that.

What questions can I answer?

And now with photos!

Ok , ive got a question. If im going to the mnnshp but not to the park that day, i get in early say 4 pm for the 6 pm party. Can i make fast passes even though im not going to a park that day, only the party? I know the window for fp will only be from 4 to 6.

Yes, as the PP notes, but you do need to be aware that some people who book FPs with a party ticket - in combination with other details of your trip / other park and booked FP days - can cause the MDE system to eventually flag you with an “insufficient ticket media” warning and your last days of booked FPs are subject to being cancelled unless corrected. Exactly why some get this warning and some don’t remains a mystery, despite a few theories and speculation that have floated around over the last two years since this started happening.

If you book FPs with you party ticket and have other days of FPs booked with that same MDE account, just keep an eye out.

 

[Sjm9911]

That wouldent be good. It still might work out as the last park day will be a whatever my daughter wants to do day, but its definitely something to think about.
