Official MNSSHP [Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party] 2007...

[Chelley00]

We will be there Sept 21st We went last year and had so much fun we added a day to our trip specifically to be able to go to MNSSHP again!

 

[Reese]

I'm so excited . I just ordered us tickets for Sept 21st and Sept 30th. We have ADR's at LTT for the first party and BBB in MK for the second.

 

[Tinkerbellmom33]

We'll be there October 30th!!!
We ordered our tickets on May 1st and they came about a week later

 

[tommygirl79]

Add us to the September 21st group! We will be eating at LTT at 4:00 and will be soooo giddy! This will be our first time and I am just about shaking with excitement for the whole trip - this will be our longest trip ever at 7 nights and 8 days of fun.....

 

[blanq]

Our tickets, for 10/16, arrived this past week. They are cute: one has Cinderella with Prince Charming, one has the Incredibles, and the last one has Mickey and friends. This is my families first MNSSHP, and we are excited !

 

[Queenie]

Just ordered my tickets for the 16th October!

Can anyone remember the costume rules? My preferred costume involves a crop top so I'd have a bare stomach (it's a Star Wars costume so not at all indecent) but I had a feeling Disney had a rule against women having bare stomacs in the park?

 

[glassslipper2004]

We have a choice of going Oct. 11 (Thurs.) or 12 (Friday) - Friday works a lot better for our schedule, but I'm afraid of the crowds -- however, last year we went on a Thursday and it was pretty darn crowded by parade time (although the rides were empty for the first few hours). Did they offer Friday nights last year, and does anyone have any thoughts on how crowded it was?

 

[TnTWalter]

COSTUMES: Take advantage of lockers for costumes if you're arriving early and don't want to wear it all day; Wear Comfy Costumes...remember the heat factor for costumes; AND adults do dress up about 50/50 so go for it!
Costume Restrictions: "guests are asked to choose costumes that are not obstructive to the child's view or that may be offensive to other park guests", I've read in other posts that people with really scary masks (like from the killer in "Scream") were asked to remove them at the gate; others have read that masks are not allowed.

[pperfectmom]

Add us to the list for Sept. 30th! We'll be eating at LTT at 5:20.

 

[kaysmommie]

Oct. 4 booked for MNSSHP, can't wait.

We will be at Polynesian the same time and also I got my tickets already for October 4 th MNSSHP. We can't wait! Please add us to the list on the first page.

ANyone else going on the 4th of October? This will be our first Halloween party and our second time at the Poly. DD7 will be Tinkerbell and DS3 will be Peter Pan. I don't think DH and I are dressing up not sure yet. If you see us come say Hi.

I'm considering the exact same party dates as you! I know we're going on the 30th, I'm just undecided on the 21st. It's our arrival night and I'm worried that if we don't sqeeze in a nap we'll be too tired to enjoy it. On the other hand, I don't want to go on the 28th because that night sold out last year. So... I can choose between being too tired to enjoy the party, or being well rested but the party being too crowded to be enjoyable, LOL.

We don't plan on doing a park during the day on either of those days so hopefully we'll all be awake for the parties .

We don't plan on doing a park during the day on either of those days so hopefully we'll all be awake for the parties .

We are going on the 21st too! That day is a rest day for us also. Just sleeping in, and maybe looking at the other resorts for a bit!

We are going on October 4. We are also staying at the Poly during this time period. We can't wait

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Is is usually possible to buy tickets at the last minute? We are thinking that September 21st would be the perfect night for us but because of health reasons sometimes we are not able to do what we want at an exact time. I am afraid to buy the tickets, especially this far in advance, just in case.

Thanks for any input. We are going for a lengthy visit so there would be a couple of other dates that would work also if tickets were not available that particular night.

We going to go to DTD that day for awhile. We originally had BBB booked at DTD for that day but later changed it to the castle before our second MNNSHP. We never seem to have enough time at DTD so hopefully this trip we will. Are you planning on dressing up?

 

[pammypooh]

We are going to our 1st MNSSHP on Oct 4! We will be eating at CP before the party. Not sure what we will dress as, but we will be there all wide-eyed and ready to have fun!

Pam (& DH, DD12, & DD10)

 

[yrdlyprincess]

Just order our tickets for sept 28...have ADR's @ LTT, This will be our 1st party, Now I just have to figure out what everyone is going to dress up as!! I decided to pick up the tickets @ will call office there has anyone ever done this B4?? I was going to do the party for 9/21 or 9/30 but 21st is arrival day & the 30th is the night b4 we leave. I am So excited!!

 

[TnTWalter]

People said that the Fridays and Halloween are the ones that tend to sell out. So if you're planning on a Friday or Halloween or there is just ONE day you could attend, I would buy in advance. Otherwise, if you need to wait for medical reasons, well then, you'll probably be ok if you have multiple choices or an odd night.

PICTURES FROM MNSSHP
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1075534

TIPS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES + THIS THREAD [I'LL UPDATE AS NEW ONES ADDED]:

• TICKETS:They are totally separate hard tickets, that will come in the mail or you can pick them up at Will Call, and cannot be put on the KTTW ticket/room key.
• COST:Last year rates were Adults $45.75, Kids [3-9] $35.95..advance purchase A $39.36, Kids $31.9...AP&DVC Discount 10% Select Nights
• TIMES: You can enter AT 4pm [Hours are 7pm-12am]
• WRISTBANDS: You get a wristband at the turnstyle if you enter after 4pm; otherwise they'll be special areas set up to exchange tickets for wristbands; you MUST have the wristband to be at the park during hours of the party, there are CMs enforcing this.
• TRICK OR TREAT: Look for Mickey Pumpkin Balloons for Candy. If you don't want to wait in line for candy...they give tons of candy at exit or wait a couple hours, lines will be smaller; candy will be given out throughout the time of the party.
• Trail of Treats behind Toontown is great for candy, also special photo opps & rare characters from Alice in Wonderland
• Decoration:: Typical Disney....they go all out and it's great
• CHARACTERS:
  
  The Characters @ LTT are dressed up after 3:30pm.
  
  The Alice in Wonderland characters are behind Toontown.
  
  Keep your eyes open for character meet & greets at unusual places. We met Tarzan, Jane and Timon inside a building that wrapped behind the place you buy Dole Whips. Very unobvious. We just happened to see people going in a door and explored. Great setup with ques among plants, photographers etc. When I got my photopass the folks (at MK) were asking me where it was, they had never seen that place.
  
  In Toontown Princess Room, all their signifigant others (Princes) were with them. That was a treat.
  
• Mr. Knickerbocker [creepy man with lantern]tells story of headless horseman at LT about 10-15 minutes before parade...headless horseman rides 5-10 minutes before parade; be ready, he's fast.
• Special Souveniers can only be purchased during MNSSHP; they sell out so buy early & they are different each night.
• Special pins @ Exposition Hall; T-Shirts @ Emporium; again they sell out fast and change; less crowded at Exposition Hall and they also sell a multi-pin set and a special AP pin.
• PHOTOPASS: 50% off PhotoPass during MNSSHP; you may be able to buy all your PP pictures for half off if you buy them at the same time...PP picture taking ends after Villans M&M; this is one time use so buy all pictures at same time; cannot be used for CD
• SPECIAL PHOTO OPPS: Haunted Mansion doombuggy [a ghost appears in the picture] & Cinderella Coach...the line for the Coach is as long as it looks, get there early; Also Pirates of the Caribbean has special set-up.
• FREE FACE PAINTING: Last year it was at Toontown & Adventureland, lines less at Adventureland.
• Liberty Square has great lighting for videotaping or taking pictures of the parade.
• DANCE PARTIES: Cosmic Dance Party at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland and the Get Up and Boogie Dance Party at Ariel's Grotto in Fantasyland; TIMES: 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 p.m.
• PARADES: There are 2 parades 8pm and 10pm...catch 2nd Parade [10pm] after fireworks for less crowd; some say parades are 8:15 & 10:30 pm...we'll find out soon I hope.
• HALLOWISHES: fireworks 9:15 pm; some said 9:30 pm. Some people like viewing from frontierland; others like being by the castle because things are going on ON the castle.
• Villain's Mix and Mingle: Your favorite Disney Villains take center stage in the Halloween production -- stick around, you don't know WHO you may meet after the show. 7:45, 9:00, 10;15 and 11:15 p.m.
• Merlin's School of Wizardry: 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 p.m.
• Buy Glow Necklaces, etc. before you go to WDW
• COSTUMES: Take advantage of lockers for costumes if you're arriving early and don't want to wear it all day; Wear Comfy Costumes...remember the heat factor for costumes; AND adults do dress up about 50/50 so go for it!
• Costume Restrictions: "guests are asked to choose costumes that are not obstructive to the child's view or that may be offensive to other park guests", I've read in other posts that people with really scary masks (like from the killer in "Scream") were asked to remove them at the gate; others have read that masks are not allowed.
• Dining Recommendations ~ Eat at LTT [characters in costume] , Kona or O'hana [great food and close] for TS; Peco Bills for CS
• LTT ~ Characters change into costumes for dinner starting at 3:30 on MNSSHP nights; pictures posted at #495 & #501 posts
• Tony's ~ Some CMs wore make-up to look like HM Cms
• Rest during the Day at your Home Resort
• Buy a backpack for treats so they don't spill on rides; the treat bags they hand out are small, so bring a big bag to 'consolidate'.
• Bring a flashlight to see your map and such at night.

RUMORED MGM VILLANS PARTY
"Starting in 2007, Disney will present a second Halloween-themed hard-ticket event. This one will be after hours at the Disney-MGM Studios on selected nights in October. Jack Skellington, the mournful Pumpkin King from The Nightmare Before Christmas, will be serving as the host of what Disney hopes will be an annual event. Expect the sort of adult thrills and chills that you won't find at Mickey's Halloween bash."

UPDATE: Jordancej wrote to WDW and it sounds like it's not happening.


FW HAUNTED HAYRIDE
Tickets are only available for same day purchase and are first-come-first-served. They go on sale at 9am at the FW Kennel. The Hayride departs from Pioneer Hall starting at dusk and takes approx 6 trips a night. Adults are $15, kids are $10.

The hayride itself doesn't seem too scary- a storyteller is along for the ride and tells the story of the Headless Horseman on the ride. From the description, it sounds like the HH makes an appearance during the ride! The hayride is 15-20 mins long.
