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

[alisonslp]

No notice. I just checked and noticed the parties of 2 switched to 1 (I have an AP so it only affected my sister). The phone CM was very helpful and fixed it (got one back, gave one an overlapping time, and gave one anytime FP for that day for FoP), but I removed my sister from the party FPs before calling, so she had a day of FPs available.

forgive me if I missed a previous reply on this - what explanation did the CM give for the missing FP+?


Didn't the system change over in June? I booked my FP+ in mid July. How/Why would the system allow me to do this if the loophole had been fixed?

He didn't know exactly why. He kept saying "this was a mistake". He could just see that they were gone and I guess that the computer did it not me.

The FP software system does seem to be in a state of flux right now. Definitely issues are popping up that weren't anticipated and it's annoying that Disney is not accepting or addressing them.

In case the majority of you just saw the 4:00 PM and didn't really read what the CM said, you might want to re-read it with your old high school grammar class in mind.

The CM said, "MAY be admitted into the park AS EARLY AS 4:00 PM. That's a very lawyerly answer that doesn't really answer the question. To me, that says, there is still a very real possibility that the 4 pm entry will not happen.

I wonder if they say that every year though?

So far what I've read here & there Disney has not sent emails. People have been watching their MDE accounts and have noticed the FP's are gone. What is confusing is some have reported not loosing their FP's at all, just some are affected which begs the question why? What exactly do people have tied into their MDE accounts, AP, PH, party tickets and/or phantoms with/without resort? And how many days park days? It appears (I could be wrong) those with longer than 5 day tickets are experiencing difficulties when MNSSHP tickets are "somehow" attached to their profiles.

Again I am only going by with what I've read. My booking window doesn't open until the last week of August. I whole hardheartedly hope/wish fellow DIS'ers keep us informed on this thread and thank those that have.

I would fit this demographic, so I'm checking my account a few times a day. We don't have APs. We have 8 day Park Hoppers and one night MNSSHP tickets. We won't be using a regular ticket on our MNSSHP night, so no extra park tickets for FPs. We have FPs booked off our party tickets for party night. So in theory, ours should be ones to have a days FP disappear. They are still there as of right now. Just watching and waiting.

Glitch city, population everyone

why can't good glitches happen? like 3 extra FPs instead of none at all

Does anyone have experiences with wearing a wig to the party? We are going to the November 1st party, so hopefully not scorching, but might be annoying. Just want to hear some thoughts.

I am kind of leaning towards being Pocahontas..but I'm blonde (and not committed to the costume enough to dye my hair lol).

I wore a wig last trip, Halloween 2015. I think November will be fine for that.

Okay go with me on this....we gave up on costumes for the party. But Disney bounding is much easier...
I said before my hair is dark brown and curly with awesome natural gray streaks that are really noticeable when I wear it down. Soo....my dress I already planned on wearing, hair loose and curly, dark lipstick, find a little green lantern.


Mother Gothel!

And I thought Micky could just wear a t-shirt that says "I'm Malicious, Mean and Scary"!!! Would anyone get it? I would have to get the t-shirt made, but that's not hard. Can just get a brown one, close to the color of the character's outfit.

thoughts?

Whew y'all.... I've been off the boards for a week and I come back to a scary hot mess! lol I just made my FP this past Saturday... I have made fp for my party night and I'll now be watching my app like a hawk bc my last day is the only day I could get a 7D fp for! If I lost it, it wouldn't be devastating but I would be sad!

Side note, on one of my fb pages... someone posted that they have regular tickets and party tickets and called and the cm said they could book fp+ for BOTH!!! And connected them to IT who then did it for them! I told them that it was not allowed and they could get flagged and get in trouble for it! I would be mortified if I got kicked out (or whatever happens) over something so small!!

I think that dress looks great. I am always looking for people Disney Bounding, it's like a secret club.

I already have the dress, and the hair , so it's so easy! I just feel like it's pretty obscure, but oh well, I'll know who we are!

Thanks! I just bought on Amazon LED green fairy lights and this little rattan lantern. The lantern has a solar candle in it, but I will just turn that off and wrap the fairy lights around it! I'm such a child!

Isn't that what Disney is for?

At least you have a chance of people knowing who you're supposed to be. I am quite positive that nobody will figure out my Peter Parker costume and my little Spidey beside me that night will find that hilarious.

I think most of us are like children when we go to Disney!! It just brings it out of us!! I ended up purchasing Mickey ears to match all my Disney bounding outfits..... I found them pretty cheap on etsy. I'm 48 and wearing Mickey ears!!! Oh well... it's so much fun!!

 

[Farro]

totally just designed and bought his t-shirt online - about to buy, see any errors???!!! Get the reference on the back?

I havne't hit my FP reservation day yet and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this FP situation. I might not book them to be on the safe side.

I guess my next question would be then if I don't book any, will the system allow me to book any FP for that afternoon once I'm in the park. I mean, if you're in the park at 4 and FP are available... Seems like this is really tricky for them to enforce. They either need to not allow folks in at 4 (which they really can't do - can you imagine the congestion that would cause holding all those people?) or allow them the same amenities as the other folks are getting from 4-7 in the Magic Kingdom.

 

[anricat]

I decided to send a letter to Disney and express my displeasure at this FP situation. It's not like we're trying to circumvent the rules here or anything. Maybe if enough people write in about this "glitch" then that's all they will pass it off to be - a "glitch."

Alright, Disnerds, go forth and complain!

 

[cuteandfluffy626]

At this point I'm just going to wait for the first few parties to come and go to see what's going on. Too many rumors, not enough facts. I'm just not sure if there is anything more we can do.
