Ace! Thanks

Woops! Nope, I remember! Walked to the Poly. Not the same thing!
But that would be something I would do. Try to walk to someplace you can't get to from there. "This river don't go to Aintry!"
Only resort you can walk to from MK is the Contemporary.
Rookie party-goer here!
I'm staying at the Grand Floridian and am planning to take the monorail to MK around 3:15. I plan to stay in MK until midnight, and I was wondering if taking the ferry boat or monorail back to GF would be more efficient or if anyone had personal experience/recommendations with getting back to GF?
At midnight, my family will definitely be wanting to get back to the room as soon as possible. #notnightowls
I've never been! I so totally can't wait!!Checking in. Haven't been to MNSSHP since 2009.
So excited!!!
Hi all, first timer to MNSSHP and very excited!!! We actually just decided yesterday to go on Friday, Oct. 20th, and we bought our tickets. Now on to the planning!
My friend and her 2 kids, DS11 and DD7, won't arrive until late the night before the party, so we will sleep in and chill before the party - it's the kids' first time to WDW!
I never would have thought of this...thanks for pointing it out!I plan on bringing the hard tickets anyway just in case. Smart move! Be sure to bring the method that you used when purchasing too.
Memory Maker.
Excellent! I highly recommend this thread Magic Shots - Current Listings and adding Disney Facebook link to your phone. You'll be able to see all the Magic Shots available at the four parks. Disney also keeps this updated with locations on where to find them!
Going next year but quick question. If you have memory maker as part of 14 day ticket, does that include MNSSHP if you then buy a ticket for the evening or do you then have to pay extra just for that night?
Dreamseeker9, you will have a blast. Just one thing...you say that it's the kids first time to WDW, right? But not yours, correct?
I ask because our very first trip to WDW we went to MNSSHP for our first visit to the MK and it was kind of crazy (and dark) for first timers. The party was great but I found out after the fact that we missed a bunch of things (and didn't really appreciate the "walk up factor" of the rides and characters at the party until we went back to the MK on a regular day and experienced the reality). Granted this was was our first trip and even with the help of the DIS I was still a novice planner.
But if you've been to the MK before the kids will have the benefit of native guides so this won't be an issue. I just wanted to mention it.
Thanks for the tips! Not my first time to MK, I've been many times. I'll maybe plan to go to some attractions before it gets too dark, so they can see the park for the first time while it's still light out and at night.
Another treat question...can the specialty Halloween treats at the Main Street Bakery be purchased with a Starbucks card? I have been saving up my Starbucks balance for our trip
I know @FoxC63 answered you, but wanted to add that you cannot redeem star rewards in the parks (I don't know if that's part of what you've been saving up or not). Not sure whether this is also true for Disney Springs.

Oh man, I hate when they do that. If it's a Starbucks, we should be able to use our rewards. Thanks for the info!
It's kinda the same as the Target starbucks locations. They're licensed stores, not corporate stores therefore you can't redeem the rewards. But you can still earn stars and use giftcards. As far as I know, the Disney Springs locations are corporate stores.
That's what I thought, until I tried it at my glorious Target Starbucks and I can use rewards there!
I love my Target...
So someone a while back mentioned window decorating. I hadn't thought about that.
I don't want to lug the Halloween boxes down from the attic in August, but I could pick up a few things at Dollar Tree.
But my party is September 1. Would it be weird to have Halloween decorations up so early? I know party-goers are in the Halloween spirit that early but is the average resort guest?
I've never done MNSSHP before, and I have to confess that when in the MK in early September before I thought they were really jumping the gun on the decorations.
But this year I'm in the spirit! I might put a few paper bats up Halloween and Christmas. The gel clings are the easiest thing to get. You can usually find them for a dollar at lots of places. They pack easily because they are flat. I see lots of other people with lights and streamers etc.
I found a whole Pinterest board with ideas - https://www.pinterest.com/rachelhurd/disney-resorts-window-decor/?lp=true
and @MissMaryQC
In your situation I wonder how it works if your party gets cancelled? Would Disney give you a gift card, park hopper etc...? I mean what if this is your only Disney vacation, would they give you a cash refund? Just conversing, really hope your party is spectacular!
