"Official" 2023 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Get Spooky!

[ezma]

Is there usually more people on a Friday night ( 10/20) than Tuesday (10/17)?

I would say Friday would have more people. Just because its the start of the weekend. At least thats what Iam hoping for . We are going Thursday October 19 .

Historically all parties sell out so there are the same number of people at each party. 100% of the MNSSHP sold out in 2022.

If 2023 parties don’t sell out nights will differ but sellouts are anticipated.

Do people still wear costumes to the Halloween parties? I’ll always remember stepping onto the bus to MK the last time we attended MNNSHP. We were the only people in costume and wow the looks we got. It was so awkward. Lol.

Not sure we want to go all out with costumes this time around.

People definitely still dress up. I don't know if I'll ever wear my full ball gown and four foot fairy wings again, but I'll never give up my costumes. They're half the fun!

Is dining opening up tomorrow? What time? Are they just talking about the first party day in Aug? Aug 11 dining is open and I can’t find the link to the MNSSHP dining. I see Tony’s at 6:35 pm for Aug 11 (hopefully 61+10 for resort guests)

I went to a Halloween party this past October and my sister and I were the only people on our packed MK bus without costumes. We felt like major party poopers lol.

They were looks of jealousy because you obviously had your crew well prepped for the party

People still wear costumes. And people don’t. I’m probably in the minority around here but I don’t. The FL heat kills me being from CA so the best I do is a Disney Halloween t-shirt.

That’s the ticket. I feel better now.

Our costumes were like the start of a bad joke… “Snow White, Pac Man and Mario walk onto a bus…”

My MNSSHP bus story: One year my costume was a Tour Guide and on the bus to MK, people were asking me touring questions about the park. Funny thing was that I had purposely went as a red DisneyLAND tour guide so that people wouldn't mistake me for the real deal.

Too funny. I guess if you had a Disney name tag that’s all they needed to see.

Your costume sounds beautiful.

Tickets purchased for a re-do of a cancelled 2016 trip. DD’s and I were supposed to do a weekend trip, but hurricane Mathew had other plans. It wasn’t until this year that it worked out again - DD’s school schedules didn’t align (high school/college and then college/college).

But good things come to those that wait, we were supposed to stay at Pop, but for this trip I rented DVC point for AKL. Party morning will be spent chillin’ by the pool!

So I do see dining open for 8/11 today past 6:30 pm. This shows up as regular dining. Park hours are until 6 pm. Last time we went (pre pandemic) there was a separate category (Mickeys not so scary dining) when you go to ‘things to do’ and ‘make reservations’.



Did anyone grab CRT or BOG for the party? When I search in the app the latest time is 5:55 pm so I believe the dining ADRs for the party haven’t been loaded yet?

Got my tickets for September! Now to figure out costumes!

We tend to do more suggestive ideas of costuming. Not full on costumes, but often closer to Disneybounding. It's easier to dress for the heat that way, and it's fun when people guess what we're doing.

One year, my wife and I did gender swapped Jack and Sally, and then one year our family did Disney characters in leisure wear (cargo shorts, Hawaiian shirts, etc.)

How likely do you think it will be to secure a spot on 'Tron' at the proposed 6pm drop of Virtual Queue lightening lanes?
It's probably my no. 1 goal for the hallowe'en party this year - Obviously the parade and fireworks too, but in attractions it would be my #1.

These reservations before 7PM are open to both day and party guests. Guests who do not have party tickets head to the castle at 6PM and wait for their dining reservation. Once they’re done they’re led to the front of the park and are not able to stop and shop along the way.

Did the dining open for BOG during MNSSHP on 8/11? I did a search on the website (clicked ‘things to do’, ‘make reservations’ and filtered by MK). I don’t see a separate MNSSHP dining link (as in 2019) and BOG ADRs go until 5:55 pm.

I wonder if there is a link that only opened for guests with party tickets. Can anyone post a screenshot

Re: Dining reservations… Doesn’t a sit-down meal eat into precious MNSSHP time? What do you all normally do for meals? We were planning to just do quick service. Hopefully mobile ordering is available during the party.

Yes, but I have kids with allergies so even Pecos Bill takes an hour to order. We try to eat around 5-6 pm and then stay until 11 pm.
