Question for you all about the character lines: how much do people leave an adult or two in a character line and let the kids, say, trick or treat in the area until the adult is closer to the front?

My kids would love to meet Moana and Seven Dwarfs specifically, and we'll have enough adults to split up and have one wait if that's feasible. I know when we visited in March, that seemed pretty common at certain greets: I think every single person waiting for Ralph and Vanelope just left one adult in line and let the kids play in the Imagination activity area.

If that's not how things are done for these greets, then we can prepare the kids for the long haul. Personally, I think everyone's line-waiting experience is better when there aren't bored, whiny kids, but I'll certainly go with the accepted practice.

When we met Moana last year, I waited in the line for an hour outside while hubby took the kids on a few rides. Moana's line was right in the hot sun with no shade so there was no way the kids would have lasted. He stuck to close rides like Alladin's carpets and the treehouse. Once the line moved so that I was in the Tiki room, he brought them back and it was still another half hour. Just be sure you have everyone with you once you get inside because it's pretty hard to get through the line to find your party. We joke about how Mom had to melt in sun for an hour to meet her but it was totally worth it.
 
Yep me too. Spent on line since 11am and on the phone twice for over an hour. Could not get a booking for 9/15!!

I ended up booking for 9/17 but not happy about it and will keep looking to move it.

I am in the exact same situation. Want 9/15. Booked 9/17. I was going to call today, but it seems like that would be a waste of time right now. So I will wait and keep checking the website.

Great info. Appreciate the feedback. I guess I'm bringing a parasol for my afternoon bake that day :-)

If I'm able to get 9/15 at any time I'll be sure to post.

Are you going to 2 parties? 9/15 & 9/17?
We will be there.
Current costumes look like safari outfits for one and newsies outfits for the other, but not set in stone.
what are you guys wearing? will keep an eye out....

Yes, we are going to 2 parties. I'm really excited about doing 2 this year. There are so many different activities and I always feel like I am missing out on something. I'm not sure what we are wear yet.

I just talked with DSS again about September 15 dessert party. He was not able to book it either..... I asked him if he could contact IT to see if there is a glitch in the system. He said he would open work ticket and send to them. So we will see what happens. Keep checking. I will let u know if I get anything.

Excellent - looking forward to hearing what comes of it.

SO glad it wasn't just me....I was really getting anxious
 
I am starting to regret my trip that includes 9/15 - I thought I had the perfect day planned at MK - do EMM the spend the rest of the day at MK and do the dessert party at the Halloween party. But can’t get EMM (not offered on the 15th for some reason) and not I can’t get the dessert party - going for such a short period of time (Saturday 9/14 thru noon on Tuesday 9/17) - my traveling companions worked hard to get those days off so we are so of stuck - I guess we will make do.
 
Decorations Question: We are taking a new family with us 9/9 thru 9/14. We will not be attending the MNSSHP and know how to hop to other parks. However, I'm hoping our new family can at least see most of MK with the normal decor. So, how much is MK decorated for Halloween during our week? Any main street pictures? Not a crisis but curious.

Halloween decor is really only on Main Street. All the decor will be up during your week as the parties begin in mid August.

I might also do 9-15 but this would be a third party!!! I am already running out of packing space!!!
 
Fireworks dessert party update for September 15: I talked with DSS for the 3rd day in a row about no availablity for the 9/15 dessert party. The CM I talked with took my number and said she would talk with her lead about the situation and call me back with what she finds out. I will give the a few days and see what happens...........to be continue...........

Thank you for doing that and for updating the rest of us. I keep checking online just in case something changes. I've tried both the Terrace seating and the Plaza View options for 9/15.
 
I contacted Disney Signature Services to ask if parade viewing was included as part of this year’s dessert packages. The reply I received:

“We are so excited that you are planning on attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this year! It is one of my absolute favorite Walt Disney World events! At this time, there are no plans to include parade viewing with the Halloween Fireworks Dessert Party, however it definitely has lots of other benefits! I personally would recommend experiencing it at least once so that you can get a guaranteed great viewing location for our special Halloween fireworks show!

Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Thank you and have a magical day!”

I’m uncertain if this is the final word, but I did want to share my reply.
