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

[Jillianna]

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.

Yes me too.

This is new. Previously any packages shipped to the resort incurred the $5 fee you mentioned. Now ANY delivery received by bell services (or that bell services delivers to your room) will incur a $6 fee. So all those who have groceries delivered from garden grocer, instacart, etc will now have to pay $6 per order or receive the order themselves and transport it to their room on their own. It also appears from what I read that even if the guest arrives with groceries and needs assistance getting them to their room they would also have to pay the new fee.

Last year people reported $5 fee on groceries as well, it's not new as seen [URL="https://www.disboards.com/threads/disney-charging-5-for-deliveries-to-resort.3661144/"]here[/URL]. Bottled water is a grocery item.

Thank you so much for posting these, and to jennab for referring me to these links!

I was able to pull up both Terrace and Garden View Parties yesterday, but today I’m getting error messages when I try to pull up the Garden View Party. Anyone else having difficulty?

 

[wendlle]

Just booked tickets to the 9/10 party.
I'm hoping beyond hope that they offer a Parade Package with dinner or ANYTHING basically. I really want a spot for the parade. My toddler who was 19 months at the time was crushed by people vying for a spot. Those Halloween crowds can be vicious when it comes to the parade.
I'd love to do costumes this year. Two Adults and two girls, one will be 3.5 and the other 10 months.
DD3.5 is doing BBB that day and will have a Cinderella inspired dress on so maybe something along those lines for all of us?

I have only been able to pull up the Tomorrowland terrace party since it opened. When I click on the plaza party, I get an error message, ‘we had to duck out’ etc. I called and was told there was no availability for the plaza garden on the day I wanted - 8/27 (I find that hard to believe, since I called as soon as the parties opened for booking). Anyway, I booked the terrrace, but wondering if everyone else is having this problem?

When I first used the Plaza Garden link, I was able to pull up those Plaza Garden parties, however, our booking window doesn’t open for another week so I couldn’t make our reservation. I tried to check the times of the parties again yesterday and also got the “we had to duck out” message.

I did some online research late yesterday and came across this article https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/happy-hallowishes-dessert-party-dates-announced-for-2019/. It states one notable change is “Terrace view is the only option” for the Halloween Dessert Party; Plaza Garden Viewing is no longer available.

I’m wondering if those who snagged a Plaza Garden View already will be among a select few to enjoy a very limited crowd?

Maybe this was the notable change some of the other bloggers were reporting but were just given incorrect information in the beginning? Not flagpole viewing, but removal of Plaza Garden View Party?

Just speculating, but it makes since link no longer working.

I just checked and you should be able to book the Plaza Garden viewing. I checked your date and can book up to the max 49 people so your party should be covered.

Yeah I think they changed the name so the site moved since originally it said Hallowishes still!

Yeah, I read the rumors that a new fireworks show was coming.

Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, when I click that link I still get the error message... maybe I’ll try calling again . I actually wouldn’t mind paying more for the Terrace if it was still Hallowishes, but I’m assuming that the new show will be heavy on projections like Happily Ever After, and I’d rather be in the plaza garden to see that.

Plaza Garden viewing is available for our party on Sept 2nd. Last year we just went to the garden area in front of Casey's and had great fireworks viewing....for free. I wonder if that area will be available again this year? I know some nights that spot is reserved for VIPs but it was clearly available for anyone on our party night last year. I don't even care about the desserts and don't really care for the Tomorrowland Terrace as a viewing area especially as mentioned by a pp, you cannot see the projections adequately from that vantage point. It IS nice to be able to sit through them, though!

What I really want is parade viewing. Still holding out hope for that. I know Tony's was a huge success last year for MVMCP (we did that one) and I would book that one again in a heartbeat if it were offered for MNSSHP this year.

That's what I'm hoping for too. I'm checking twice a day to see if it will become available.

What is the earliest you can make an ADR for if you only plan on using the party ticket for entrance? We weren't planning on using a general admission ticket on our party day, instead we chose to add a day onto our trip. Unfortunately, I booked our party of 5 for BOG lunch on the party date. Rookie mistake!! I had to get 5 single dining reservations 5 minutes apart the next day (even the WDW Dining representatives said there has got to be a better way! LOL). I'm hoping if we order ahead and time it just right, there won't be an issue.

I have a similar question... I want LTT on 9/29 for dinner before the party starts (I was hoping for around 5pm) but the only ADR I could get was at 3:50 pm. I cannot enter the park until 4pm with a MNSSHP ticket right? I was not planning to use a park ticket that day. Does LTT not take ADR's after 4pm on party days? Any chance they would let us in early enough to make that ADR????

The ONLY TS places that have dining on Party Nights are CRT, BOG and Tony's as far as I'm aware. You can also I think get food at Skipper Canteen.
You have to book using the "Halloween Party Dining" option.
You won't be allowed in early if you don't have a park ticket - unless you get VERY lucky but I doubt it.

Keep your 3:50 ADR that's a really great time to eat. I have never had an issue getting in earlier when we booked an ADR prior to 4pm. All they do is check your reservation status at the tapstile. You're good to go.

Ok - I am beginning to think that Sunday, 9/15 is going to be a bad day at MK. First they don't have EMM like they do for the prior Sundays and now I can't get a reservation for the dessert party at MNSSHP. I can get both for the 17th but I have to travel home that day. Does anyone know what is going on the 15th, why they would cancel all the extra events - hopefully my tickets for MNSSHP are still good
