"Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

Hubby and I are thinking of going early September or late September...both times look like lowish crowd levels. What are your thoughts?

Early September tends to normally have lower crowds but is also hotter than late September.

A “high person”?? Disney CM are not all together and everyday a different story is given out to each one of us.

I asked to speak to a guest services manager for that exact reason and was told that from them. This was after I wrote a letter complaining and was called back.

Thank you...I like it hot so maybe early is better

They provide them but they are small, however you can get multiple bags. Best thing to do though is to use the bag they give you but bring a backpack or something to dump the small bag into so you can keep refilling it and not carrying multiple bags. They don't just hand out 1 or 2 pieces of candy at a time but a handful for the most part.

Last year, we were given only a piece or two at each stop. The provided bag was more than big enough to hold what we got.

I have not been down to Disney in October since I was a kid, so I have to ask...Is it too hot for a costume in October? I love the idea of our family wearing matching costumes, BUT we do not want to be uncomfortable..are fun t-shirts more practical? I know the weather fluctuates during that time of year, so it is so hard to make a decision. What do all of you do?

Are you going at the beginning or the end of October? I think they can be pretty different in terms of temps.

Well, it's probably more stifling not in early and hot in later Sept.

Is this eluding to the idea that a special event may be happening at CRT? Wasn’t there something there a couple years ago I read about? Seems odd that they don’t have those reservations opened yet. And it’s driving me crazy that they don’t have the dessert party opened either!!

no, it just means they have not released the dates/number of reservations to the dining system yet. this is also why when you go to the MNSSHP the subsection "table service" is not an actual link yet, just a picture... because its too early for them to determine the capacity fore the party reservations. last year these ADRs went live in early June. so I would expect CRT, BOG and CP to all have dinner hours become available during the party within a few weeks from now. nothing special though.

We are going the third week of October. I know some people fare well in the heat, I am not one of them lol. It might be long enough into October where it isn't sweltering, especially at night. To be safe I guess I could find costumes that aren't so heavy and hot, if we do decide that full blown costumes are a must. Decisions..decisions.. what do you think?

This is totally off topic...how do I insert a picture into my thingy by my username? Thanks!

We are going October 23-30. We are doing really simple costumes just in case. We can always put a jacket on, but if it's too hot there won't be much we could do. One of our costumes are dwarf shirts with names of the dwarfs and we are wearing hats and beards. For the other party we are doing Ralph and Vanellope. We may get too hot in those so we will see. I say plan for it to be warm just in case that way you can always put something over yourself if you get cold.

After you post so many times you can change your picture.

Erring on the side of caution makes sense, covering up is definitely easier than taking off. Thanks so much for your suggestions, and I love your costumes! Not exactly sure what we’re doing yet, but we need to figure it out soon.
Ah ok, no wonder I couldn’t figure out the picture thing! Thanks!

Ooh, didn't realise there was already a thread for this year's party! We're going on the 25th of September this year, I'll hopefully be dressed as Hei-Hei the chicken

That's the party we are going too.

If you see me running around, come and say hello!

Hopefully this year's costume will last longer then last years- I had a great Goofy costume with the ears and hat on a headband, only the headband broke an hour into the party

I'm gonna Disneybound as Daisy Duck. Have no idea what the nephew and his wife are going to do at this time

Wait until the end of the night to trick or treat. They are much more generous. We walked through the two lines at Jungle Cruise back and forth last year until our bags were completely full in less than 5 minutes.

It's really up in the air. We did an October party one year and I was cold in my costume. Other years it has been hot, or an ok temp.

I just wouldn't plan on wearing anything too hot. You never know what you'll get.

I agree, thanks so much for the suggestions! I remember going in March one year, and all of the blankets/snuggies were sold out of almost EVERY store in MK, because it was freezing! It was that chilly during the day, that people were actually walking around the park with blankets-I was one of them! Florida weather.

I have been there also when it was freezing and when it is so hot you go through a couple outfits a day. I will take the freezing over the terrible heat.

I went October 6th last year and it was hot. I wore a light costume and it was ok. I definitely couldn't have worn a super heavy costume.
