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

Does anyone know how it will work for getting a virtual queue spot for Iron during the MNSSHP? How has it worked for this type of event in the past? Is there an opening window at 4pm or 7pm? Confused how it will work for the party.

There hasn’t been a VQ attraction at a park with a party but it’s anticipated to work similar to AH events and there will most likely be a 6PM drop that only party guests are eligible to try for.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. I hope I can snag a spot when it does happen.

Just purchased our tickets for October 10th!!! First time for us attending the party. I see the tickets in my app under tickets and passes with everyone’s names on their tickets. Do I need to do anything else or are they auto synced to everyone’s magic bands or do I bring up the app with the barcode to scan in at the party?

Many parties sell out so not sure if there are many lower crowd parties. In the posts on page 1 of this thread there are links to earlier years’ parties (or can be searched) and those threads show sell out dates. Not sure if they include the date when they sold out.

You’re making a good choice going to MK on a party day as historically crowds are lower on party days, until 4pm.

Yes, they include the dates the parties sold out.

They'll be auto synced to everyone's magic bands.

By the look of things, I have an unexpected vacation coming up in August, and we'll be hitting MNSSHP once again! I'll be watching this thread to strategize.

We have tickets for Oct 1st. We are not doing a park that day but may go to Disney Springs. Could we leave our vehicle in Disney Springs and travel to Magic Kingdom another way? I'm just not sure how late we can leave our car at Disney Springs since we may not be getting back to it until midnight.

Also what are some free transportation options from DS to MK? I hear taking a bus to the Contemporary is the best way.

I wouldn't chance it because you risk DS closing before you could make it back from the party. If you are driving, I'd honestly just park at the TTC and pay for it.

I would recommend taking your car to the TTC. Leaving it at DS is not convenient. You need to take a bus to a resort then a second bus/walk to the MK.

Returning to DS there is no guarantee buses will be heading to DS so likely you would need to get somewhere where a ride share can pick you up and take you to DS. How close they can get you to your car if DS is closed, I don’t really know.

DS is not intended to be used for parking to go to a park which is why they make it so challenging to get to a park from there,

as a surprise from my hubby, we are going to disney this september for 4 days!! never gone during halloween, not sure if we are doing the party this year since we are going for halloween next year as well. our first day in florida this year is a party day and is also labor day, is the party typically less crowded that day since so many people are leaving for the start of school? also what would happen if it rains so bad it gets canceled? would they let us carry over the tickets to next year since the next party is the day we leave?

All dates sell out, so crowds will be the same. We visited at that time last year and did the party and it wasn't bad.

The party will not get canceled due to rain. The only reason it would is if it was something major like a hurricane. But if you chose not to go, they do let you carry the value over to a future event. You'll have to call to apply that credit when purchasing new tickets.

We are going during September as well, but the following week after your trip. We did MNSSHP last year and enjoyed it a lot! We did not have annual passes, like we will this year, and we arrived at the park as soon as you could. We focused on the rides early, planning on doing the later shows and parade. It worked out very well. We didn't plan on doing any character meet and greets, just not our style, but seeing everyone dressed up in costumes we might be rethinking for one or two characters for this year.

One thing I wanted to say thinking about skipping it this year because your doing it next year, I would not recommend that! MNSSHP was one of the most fun evenings I've had in Disney, the stage show is great, the parade is awesome, and fireworks are probably the best I've ever seen. I get its expensive, but IMO it is worth it!

yeah i keep adding things to a pros and cons list to convince my hubby we should do it and there are more pros than cons lol. he's for sure thinking about it especially since its not as expensive as he thought it would be. we unfortunately wouldn't be doing MK during the day as its a blackout date for our APs. only character meet and greet i would want to do is of course the one that probably has the longest wait time and thats Jack and Sally.

I actually prefer not having a park ticket for the day because I'd rather relax early in the day so I can stay out later for the party. Plus I'm not a fan of paying for the same park twice in one day.

100% agree. we get into orlando around 8:30am so we'll either go to the hotel pool if they'll let us before our room is available, or we'll go hang out at disney springs

Hi everyone! I purchased 2 DVC discounted MNSSHP tickets. If we had to cancel our trip, could I transfer the party tickets on MDE to our 2 children who live there. They are on our MDE but not DVC owners. They would be using Magic Bands to enter the Party. I just wouldn't want them to have any issues because of the discount. Thank you!

That was true last year, but it might not necessarily be true this year.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't. Every AH event this year has sold out too.

Yes. The tickets can be transferred to friends and family, just not sold. And since DVC can purchase discounted tickets for friends and family I don't see the issue.
