"Official" 2025 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

[sheila14]

Is there a new Halloween popcorn bucket out yet? I am looking for the smaller bucket that is around $20

Can we get the pumpkin funnel cake at Sleepy Hollow before 7pm with wristband? I saw conflicting information and figured this was the place to ask

Anyone stick around to see if the late parade ran last night (10/5)? Our kids were done after the fireworks. This was our second attempt with MNSSHP. The first one in Sept 2024 was a complete wash out with no parades. They were giving out refunds no questions asked for the Sept 2024 one due to how bad it went. Unfortunately looks like we had similar luck this time and wondering if we should inquire about refund or credit for last night too.

Thinking we may switch to Christmas party season for our next trip rather than chancing the early fall weather in Orlando.

They did not. No later shows either.

They did run the first parade, but I didn't see it so I don't know if it was modified.

That’s frustrating to hear. We took the kids on a ride after the second open ended delay announcement with no start time estimate and must have missed the whole thing

Question for anyone who has purchased the Jack (NBC) popcorn bucket- is it available throughout the entire park? Or just specific carts?

The first parade went out at 9. And with the exception of a couple of characters, it was pretty much the full parade

There is a ton of great information on the first page of this thread! @monique5 does an amazing job of creating these threads.

This is the information provided about obtaining a wristband if already in the park:

I guess it is more after the 4:00 check in time. Like I know when I have arrived in the past, there appears to be two lines. One for party guests and one for regular guests. The party guest line is way longer than the regular guest line. Also, I'd likely have to scan my party ticket to get in (which I plan to have a few ILL for 7DMT and Tron), so I'd think I'd need to scan my regular AP to let the system know that I am in the park.

I guess is there still a separate line for regular guests after 4:00pm, so they don't have to wait in the long line with the party guests?

Yes, there are lanes for regular admission guests right until park closing at 6 pm. The lanes that will scan your party ticket are labeled “EVENT” so make sure you don’t tap in at one of those.

Yea, you can enter the regular admission line then join a second line inside the park to get your party wristband and ToT bag. The unknown is how long the line will be inside the park to obtain wristband.

When do the party Magic Shots become available - is it only after 7pm? Definitely want to make sure we get the Skeleton Dance one as my son is obsessed with that short.

Yes - they are not available until 7.

Be sure to do the ones behind the carousel - they are super fun too.

Gosh, does it seem like a lot more parties than usual were rained out this year? I just keep reading about it on social media!

I think it's fairly common for the September/early October parties but it does seem like it's happening all the time this year. DH just had me go buy a new raincoat just in case for our party on 10/28.

Yep! We've got ponchos and umbrellas for the 10/30 party!
