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

Not at all. Happy to share what I can.

We LOVE you!

I am trying to make a plan for the characters we want to see. I read on some other posts that Jack Sparrow, The Queen of Hearts, and the Tweedles do not meed during the parades. Are there other characters which do not meed during parades? Or if the list is shorter which characters continue to meet during parades? Thank you.

Have you gone to a MNSSHP before? If not, I would say go for it! I do think it will be a little more crowded since the bloggers/vloggers will be out in full force, but as a solo person you could definitely move around pretty quick!

nope, done christmas, but just moved to Orlando a few months ago, so never been down here during halloween

Might as well give it a shot!

Every year we hear mixed reports from the first party. Things like overcrowded with bloggers, understaffed in certain areas, things running out, etc. Sometimes it’s like Disney totally forgets there’s a party scheduled and things just done go right.

But all of that being said, if I were around - I’d be there!

Refurbishments/Closures

Astro Orbiter is currently closed for refurbishment and may reopen on Sept. 20th.

I'm not sure why it's not listed here: https://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/rehab.htm
considering it's been down for a while now and the post was recently updated 8/12/2019.

Any idea if the magicband will be available before 7 or right then?

MNSSHP is a lot of fun and very different than a "normal" MK day! I like it because it's something different, there's a parade (which I miss at night), different fireworks (which are new this year), the Hocus Pocus show which is well done and CANDY for everyone! The CM's really seem to get into it too, especially at HM! The characters are ones you don't see anywhere else and even if you don't get in line for them, you might see them in passing. The gravediggers and HM hitchhiking ghosts in the parade are really cool to see!

If you don't get to go tomorrow, I would definitely make a plan to do at least one this season, since you're so close.

One of my kids (adult) keeps trying to get me to do HHN at Universal, but I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE, lol! I'm a chicken and I would hurt someone if they came at me with a chainsaw, fake or not! But I've heard it's a lot of fun, if you like scary things. I'm more a fan of the "fun" Halloween stuff so I love MNSSHP. It's another option for you, since you're down there.

Just read the report about the treats-I'm loving the look of the For Better or Worse Cake. It's been several years since our last party and I don't remember all of these special party only treats being offered. Are these things that sale out quickly? What about the sippers and popcorn buckets-would love to have the Oogie bucket!

 

[mamamelody2]

All this new info about treats/merch/magic shots, etc is getting me all hyped up for this thing!! Can't wait!

 

[trishadono]

Confession...I have not seen Hocus Pocus either.

I will now officially ban myself from this thread.

Lol cause you are still young!

My kids don’t like Hocus Pocus but I think it’s fun.

Nightmare Before Xmas. Well , I love the Halloween part! Like love love it. But a skeleton at Christmas ? Nope , I turn it off.

The beginning songs are fun but it’s mostly my Ds loved them so I do. His little face belting out the songs.

He’s now 22 so ? That’s all I got , memories.....

I don’t know if they sell out quickly but expect a long line for that one and a long wait for your food in Starbucks (Main Street Bakery).

I will report back as much as I can tonight.

 

[SPAM]

Have to wait for reports tonight to see where they are selling the Oogie Boogie bucket, I’ll be there Tuesday!

Took my kiddo to HHN last year -our first time- because we had a free ticket with annual pass. I didn’t think I’d like it much either but omg! So much fun! It was a her sweet 16 trip and she loves things like that. We ended up upgrading to multi night pass. She loved it so much she asked for no other presents ever except to be able to go, just her and I-again. Been booked for next month since December . For the record- that kid has zero interest in Mickeys party. And the oldest with whom I’m going to MNSSHP has zero interest in HHN. I of course will very happily do both!!

Today is the day! I can't wait for all of you brave souls attending the first party to report back. If you wanted to post some live updates while you're camped out for a parade, I don't think we'd mind.

Have fun!!!!

 

[osufeth24]

Decided am going tonight! Looking forward to some of the treats and parade! I'm actually not sure if I'll be sticking around for fireworks or not, we'll see. I just rememberd I have to get up at 430 tomorrow for work

My only goal tonight is to get the LE magicband

 

[MyTwoPrincesses]

Can’t wait for the reports about tonight!!!! We leave for Orlando tomorrow morning and will be at the second party on Tuesday.

We went to the first Halloween Party last year. It was kind of crowded but less than a typical summer day at the Magic Kingdom. There was plenty of candy to be had and all of the specialty food items and merch was in good supply. It was surprising how Halloween-y it felt in August!!

 

[yulilin3]

Boo To You!!!! everyone. I will do my best to absorb as much info as I can from tonight and convey it here. I'm going to media event for F&W and also for the party so will be enjoying the Cruella DeVil thing at Tony's along with the show, parade, fireworks. I'm also live streaming off and on all night. Can't post a link directly but the info is in my signature
I'll also be there next Friday

You are braver than I am!! Every time I see a video from HHN I just go "NOPE"!
Have fun! The houses look really cool and I have seen some of the movies they base them off of, but I'm not a horror fan in general. That Killer Klowns from Outer Space from last year seemed like it might be fun because it's such a kitschy movie, but then I'm dating myself again! Lol!

You mean poor unfortunate souls.

I tried to sleep in today, but nope. It’s going to be a late, late night for me.
