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

[smallsy]

yes!! Target only has this deal once a year. i heard that it's working on all costumes, not just kid's.

They seem to be heavily discounted online too if you are stuck in the car (otw to WDW!!!) like me. I was able to get DS's lego batman costume for half of what it was going for last week!

Does the Oogie Boogie Popcorn bucket glow in the dark? It's such a weird color it looks like it would glow green which is more typical.

I would offer to do that for you, but we are not doing any M&Gs till later on in the night.

Thank you anyways!!!

 

[Cluelyss]

Any other M&G characters that emerge early, or where to find a list? DD would love to meet Moana but I'm not keen on standing in line three hours

& please help w/ FP+ times. In theory should they be available between 4 and 7 pm (the latest one at 6:55?) or do they cut it off at 6? I've been hoping to get a third FP but can't find anything past 5:45.

Moana (5:45) and the dwarfs (6:20) both come out early. Moana's line starts forming at 4, the dwarfs a bit after 5.

FP distribution ends at 6:30 on party nights (so the last ones are 5:30-6:30).

Totally off topic but do you remember how much the Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket was $13.50 sound about right? Thank you!

Ahhhh Sorry no I don't I will check and see if I still have the receipt at home tonight.

I was very surprised to see the hard to get Mickey Pumpkin Popcorn bucket being sold at Disney Hollywood Studios while we were there on Thursday!

UGH
I was so excited to see they were in other parks so I didn't have to carry around 2 the night of the party. As it is my DH is going to kill me when we have to carry them onto the plane!

I'm getting so excited reading all these reviews! For those of you not doing the first parade - how difficult is it to get a good spot up towards the hub for fireworks? I keep going back and forth on which parade we want to do because I'm worried if we do the second, we won't get a good spot for fireworks. We've always done the second and like how it feels less crowded. But if it means no good firework spot, then we'll have to change everything up to go to the first one.

I'm also trying to nail down times for characters. I'm thinking we'll line up at 6 for Minnie & ducks, then hit Jafar, then Pooh, and Mickey during the first parade (unless we switch). Kind of bummed none of the characters we want come out before 7 (Mickey's costume doesn't change until 7, right?) If we stay with the second parade, I feel like after fireworks we won't have time for any more characters. (10:15 fireworks, 11:15 parade, maybe squeeze one in after that, will any of the lines still be open?)

You are correct!

Hello All, I need opinions.

I have been to MNSSHP for the past 14 years but decided to drive myself nuts over the costume guidelines that were implemented last year. We used these costumes three years ago and was wondering if they will past muster this year. I know they can't wear the masks and my son's cape (no capes!) needs to be shorter. I guess I was concerned about the fact my DH's costume is a little baggy and it is full-length. If he has to get more screening he will have to deal.

I just check my receipts and both oggie boogie and Mickey pumpkin popcorn BUCKETS are 13.50 each.

Locker, locker, locker... Can't say it enough... We rent a locker before we enter the park and put our costume stuff in it while the park all day, then party goodies at night....

You would definitely have time to meet Mickey after the second parade. We like to watch near the flagpole then pop in right after it passes (have done this both at MNSSHP and MVMCP). And yes, he doesn't change into costume until 7.

This is what I was thinking too! We're doing MK (and let's be real, a little bit more F&W thank you monorail, RIP express transportation) on our party day, and I've honestly never rented a locker! Can I ask a couple of totally ridiculous questions, how much are lockers, and do you have to have coins? LOL thanks!!

Did you guys see this?

It's a new blog post about Halloween merchandise at DL and WDW from Disney Parks Blog.

I wonder why WDW doesn't get as much compared to DL.

I also wonder what the Halloween tiki mugs look like.

It is really sad how little WDW gets compared to DLR. However, Halloween is a big deal out there, especially with the locals. The tiki mugs from last year were HM ghosts, stacked on top of each other I think. It was awesome! But it was only available like 1 day, and they sold out almost immediately. Trader Sam's at DLR was the same. Here's a link.

Big Big deal In DL- all of their parties sold out before they even had the first party. The tickets for the DL party dont even come out until the last week of August and by early September they were gone. Its the same way with their merch-if you blink you miss it. Getting Halloween merch at DL is like this clip

Yes, it does. I was very lucky and a friend grabbed one for me. My boyfriend loves Oogie and she was so worried it would be gone when I arrive late October.

She even ended up getting one for herself because she liked it so much.

I love that! But ugh that makes me so sad how few WDW gets in comparison!

Also I'm surprised DL is considered a bigger deal then WDW.

Are we thinking the tiki mugs will be the same as last year then? We are staying at Poly this year so willing/ able to camp out for one if so....
