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

[LadyRayado]

I have tix for Friday's party and received an email telling me that my FP was canceled for my first ride. It is jungle cruise so I am assuming it is due to damage sustained from the hurricane but I am not 100% sure. They did give be an all day FP as a replacement though! Still, I am disappointed as we have never done the cruise before.

Really wish we could have done tonight's party. Sounds like it was a low crowd. Our 9hr trip took 14hrs due to heavy traffic from the evacuations. Hoping Disney will refund the ticket prices. I plan to visit guest services tomorrow.

Yes, Jungle Cruise isn't supposed to reopen until early next week. All of the FPs have been cancelled and replaced with anytime FPs.

Hey guys - I'm so sorry, as I'm sure this has been discussed in this thread, but I went from being prepared to leave last Saturday to watching a week's worth of exhausting news coverage of Irma, so I no longer feel prepared to leave today for our rebooked vacation. So basically - sorry if this has been discussed recently.

Does the Hallowishes Dessert Party include parade viewing now?? I know it wasn't supposed to this year, but I just got an e-mail that says, "
If credentials were not previously picked up at Tomorrowland Terrace, they will also be available for pick-up beginning at 7:45 PM when the parade viewing location opens for Dessert Party guests."

Maybe that just means come watch the parade from the terrible viewing at Tomorrowland Terrace, but I'm very confused.

No parade viewing this year. The timing doesn't work out with the new schedule (parade at 9:15, fireworks at 10:15).

There's probably an obvious answer to this that I'm not thinking of, but if people are in town for more than one party, how does Disney make sure they don't just keep their band on and go to more than one with just one ticket?

They have different colored bands and switch them.

There were a lot of Jungle Cruise CMs standing at the entrance and they tell that this big storm Irma threw a BIG party at the Jungle Cruise and trashed it pretty based. Not sure how long before it's back up and running.

Probably just a bad cut and paste from last year's email. As mentioned, no parade viewing included this year.

Going to my first ever MNSSHP next week, does anyone have a more detailed map of where to find characters? A lot of what I've seen just lists them by what land they're in, but sometimes it's easy to miss things tucked away in weird spots and I'd hate to walk right passed a character I'd want to meet.

I really want to meet Cruella especially since I'll be attending with my service dog and it's sure to be a fun interaction.

Kenny the pirate has a very detailed map. Cruella meets just outside the train station in Fantasyland.

No - you can't use a paper printout to get into the park. You would need to take that to a ticket window/guest relations to have them put onto tappable cards. Just use your magic bands do go through the "EVENT" turnstiles and you'll be fine.

Then why do they give you the option to print them at home? What a waste LOL. I'm bringing my paper tickets just in case.

last nights party was the lowest attended party i've ever been to.

 

[doccoc2002]

I hope Sunday night will be low too!

 

[sherlockmiles]

Party last night had super low attendance....rides were empty and characters were pretty quick. Tot lines were nonexistent if you found them. They weRe in buildings mostly. ...not always obvious that you had to go in. Most cms were very generous.

Trying to pick a date between Oct.39 and 31. Will they both be sold out? Is the 31st absolutely crazy crowded? We aren't too concerned with meeting characters - maybe the old standbys, TinkerBell, the ones up by the circus, and possibly Pooh.

Is Moana at the party?

Yes, they will both likely sell out. Crazy crowded? No. There are a limited number of tickets sold for each party, so one sell out won't be more crowded than another. Yes, Moana meets at the party.

Well I was supposed to be heading to WDW and doing MNSSHP on Sunday Sept 17. I know that is still a week away but we have canceled. Just too much uncertainty with the storm. Now I get to decide if we are going to reschedule WDW (even though good luck to myself with that, all resorts rooms seem to be fully booked up or very expensive until late October). Or maybe we'll do a DL Halloween party for the first time.

Oh if you can go to Disneyland!!! We leave in 2 weeks for DW however I am seeing the pictures of Carsland decked out for Halloween and the haunted mansion there is redone in a nightmare before xmas theme....I did get a chance to ride that about 8 years ago and it was really neat! IF we could swing it I would probably be trying to make the change to DL as well.

I was really excited about the possibility of DL, but we went with Orlando. My bf is really into Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. Hollywood has one, but I have an AP for Orlando's Universal so I can get us discounts. Plus we didn't want to have to deal with staying at DL and taking an uber to HHN in Hollywood.

I really did want to see the new Carsland decorations. The Fab Five characters were also going to be out and about in DCA wearing costumes I've never seen as well. I guess there are rumors that next year the Halloween parties might be moved over to DCA from DL. Maybe I'll have to go next year. I did get to ride the HM NBC overlay at Christmas a few years ago. That was really well done.

We seem to always do Halloween at Disney. We live in an apartment so we never get to pass out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween and we aren't huge into bars or drinking so we never get to dress up and go out on Halloween. Disney/Universal is basically our only chance as childless adults to do Halloween right (and get to wear costumes). Maybe next year both of us should plan on DL for Halloween

Sounds like last nights party was really empty- we are local and I planning to purchase tickets for October. Still don't have our costumes complete, but I am wondering if I should shift our plans and purchase tickets for Friday night. Any thoughts on if this party would still be low attended due to the storm?

Is this party exclusive?

 

[madmeg]

We will attending this event in a couple of weeks. It will be our first time. Since there will be limited tickets for this event, will there still be fast passes available? Is the whole Magic Kingdom opened or just certain parts? These questions may have been asked before so I apologize in advance. The thread has over 390 pages! lol. Thank you.

Friday night could be hit or mess. Might be a lot of people just delayed their trip plans a few days. I think it's really hard to tell.

The whole MK is open except for a few rides like Carousel of Progress and Tiki Room. The first page of this thread has all this info nicely laid out. You can reserve fast passes for the 3:30-6:30 hours but not on top of other fast passes you may have made for that day already with your regular park tickets.
