"Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

[Lehuaann]

For my edification, has Disney posted this limit anywhere? I'm able to purchase up to 10 discounted adult and 10 child party tickets online for a single party date and there's no requirement for me to assign any of them to myself or to other passholders. The only statement I see on the website that addresses limitations on the discount is this:


Price for Passholders

Item(s) are priced for Passholders only. For room reservations, you must show a valid adult Passholder ID at Resort check-in.


There's no explicit requirement to show a valid AP for park entry.

I am going solely on what was told to us when purchasing them in person last year. It's possible the CM was wrong and enforcing their own policy.

We just bought our tickets for Aug. 25, 2017. Did print tickets at home and they instantly are in our MDE. Since the hard tickets aren't themed we figure this is the easiest way. Never did I expect that we would be able to attend a Halloween party when we originally booked our trip! Very excited! I saw that they went on sale when I got up for work at 4:30 AM EST this morning....but had to wait till my lunch break to buy them! Mom & I are keeping it simple for costumes....going Pluto & Goofy themed. Shirt & hat with the character. It will be hot hot hot that time of year and we want to be comfortable in the park!

That sounds highly likely.

We're going September 29 - October 7, and booked Sleepy Hollow for 8pm on October 6. So excited! I'll try to report back here as well!

Is there a link somewhere for the info on Sleepy Hollow on Disney's website?

 

[ErinsMommy]

OMGosh!! These are even more ADORBS in person!!

 

[Jays2013]

OK, it's showing up on the app, but as 2016.

Still not on MDE.

Year is correct on .pdf tickets and email.

Hmm...

I really wasn't going to do it but now it's official: we have our tickets for 8/25. Costumes are going to be a little tricky because this entire trip is a surprise for the kids, but if we keep it to basically Disneybounding to account for both luggage space and the weather I think we'll do fine!

Hello Disney Sages,
Technical question for you. If I have the party ticket linked to my magic band will it use up one of my park admission days if I enter the park with my magic band on? Should I just leave the magic band at the hotel take my paper tickets? We are going for 11 days and only have a 10 days pass but I wanted to use the party tickets as an extra day but I dont want to accidentally use up a park admission day getting into the party.

Thank you.

It should be fine, but every year there have been reports of a few reading the wrong ticket. Not widespread. Starting around 3:45 or 4 pm on party nights they set up a special set of the tapstyles that are just for people entering for the party. Those readers should be set to just take the party ticket. If you are already in the parks that day and pick up your party wristband from a cast member they will scan your MB to see the ticket attached as well.

Our trip will be early in September, so I don't think there is a chance that those nights will sell out. Considering that the tickets are non-refundable and I don't plan to go if it is raining--did that in Disneyland once and it was miserable, so I am planning to wait until we get there and check out the weather forecast before ordering tickets. Based on the number of people saying they have already purchased, I must be the only one concerned about that.

I really like the Mickey one! My grandmother has the second one ("Minnie Mouse Red Bow") and really likes it. They look great and also seem to hold up well.

That's why so many use this like a park ticket and only go between 4-midnight. So does this mean you're out?

I think so. My kids will be too tired to stay past 10, and I'd like to experience that morning pre-rope drop ADR magic.

Nope, not the only one!! I'm last week in September! I'm going try to wait as long as I can. I do think I have one possible sell out party but not till at least the week of! I'm terrified of it pouring rain and being there with a 5 year old! We would all be miserable! I may get one party day in the next few weeks and wait for the other?! Ahhh so many possibilities to consider!!!

I will be using the print at home tickets, I've had an issue about which tickets get used before on a MB (Had a 3 day and a 1 day PH on my account) so this will be simpler.

The Mickey one was originally supposed to be mine, but when it came DH wanted it and told me to order another. I then changed my mind and went with the Minnie Polka Dots. We're so excited!! Its the small things. HAHA

Sorry to hear that. Cannot remember your dates but there are alternatives: Headless Horseman Event @ Ft. Wilderness and Halloween Events at each resort. Everything should be posted to Post #2 on this thread.

Just got 2 tix for Thu 10/26! I just had to close my eyes though when clicking that purchase button....gulp! Pretty steep at $94/pp. $69 I can see but the closer you get to Halloween and that $94-$115 price tag seems a bit much. It is my first Halloween party though so I'm willing to bite the bullet at least once. Maybe not again, at least not at $94+.

 

[FoxC63]

Whoop whoop! Just bought tix for 9/22!

I opted to go for shipped hard copies so that I can put it with DD's birthday gift announcement - Disney is her gift this year. I hope it's a cool card, and not a lame green one.

I also opted to buy them under a different MDE account. Can I transfer them to my regular MDE once I receive the hard copies? Ugh. Now I regret doing this.

I waited so I wouldn't get the lame green ones! Ha!

 

[Bex258]

Has it corrected itself on MDE for any of you??

Nope not yet. Still nothing on MDE website and wrong dates on app.

In the DALLAS area! Of ALLLL days! lol I'm ok. It just hurts like a #@!$^. But yayy for getting tickets for Halloween night!

Ouch I hope it stops hurting soon.

OMGosh!! These are even more ADORBS in person!!

Wow they are lovely. I wanted to get new suitcases but I've had bad luck with my international flights. I think both my New York trips were fine but Orlando last time I borrowed my dads fabric suitcase and it was slashed (not sure why I had a TSA lock on it) so had to get it taped up at the airport, couldn't claim because I didn't realise till I was packing to go home and didn't know if it was airport or hotel damage. It got lots of looks but it was easy to find on the carousel .
I bought a second suitcase in LA a big $99 plastic one and when I picked it up at the other end it had a massive crack in it. I should have complained. I might decorate my suitcase instead though.

Last year they were themed here's what 2016 looked like:
EDIT: If you bought your tickets as soon as they were released you got the green basic ones. If you waited you were sent these.
