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

so, I cant tell... I see that there is special seating/viewing for the parade. but is there special viewing area for the fireworks? i feel like the special viewing for the parade, and the treats don't warrant $50 a person. but if it included a great spot for fireworks I'd be down.

It says in the title of the dessert party that there is plaza garden viewing for the fireworks with no reserved parade viewing.

And it looks as though seating is in Tomorrowland Terrance for the dessert party with reserved parade viewing.

Man, I have given so much money to Disney for our upcoming trip lol. I am ready to hand even more over for the dessert party now.

Disney World is like a bachelorette party stripper and I am just lobbing cash at them.

I know what you mean, I booked our CL FP Sunday... :eek: But, 2 of my kids have yet to see this parade, and it's my favorite, so I see more money flying towards Disney from me...
 
For those who have done the dessert parties, if you had to pick between the HalloWishes dessert party and the HEA dessert party with garden viewing, which would you choose?

It is my absolute favorite parade too! I just love the Halloween parties (we are going to 3 of them during our trip because I am crazy) and think this would be so fun to try, even though deep down I know a dessert party for the fireworks and parade aren’t really all that necessary. But it looks so fun that I have to try it!!

Dagnabbit, Disney lol
 
I *really* want to book the Hallowishes dessert party now if parade viewing is included. But, we've already got so many extras on this trip. HEA dessert party, SWGS dessert party, MNSSHP, After Hours, and Cali Grill brunch. Adding a 3rd dessert party seems excessive, but it is so worth it if I have a reserved spot for the parade. I'm considering cancelling one of the other extras to do this. Or maybe keeping the Hallowishes a secret from DH since he loved the parade viewing we had for MVMCP in 2016.
Gah, Disney....stop taking all my money!!

I am in the same boat. We have 3 MNSSHP dates, HEA Dessert party (the regular one AND the After Fireworks one...but I will cancel one of these once people start reporting back with their experiences at the After Fireworks one), Early Morning Magic, and like two table service meals a day.

I had money set aside in case Club Villain or Villain Sinister Soiree come back, and at this point it looks like they won’t be brought back so maybe that is my sign to go ahead and book the Hallowishes Dessert party!

We are such enablers on this website lol

We are SO in the same boat. We already have Amorette's Cake Decorating, MNSSHP and HEA dessert party booked, with plans to add SWGS dessert party and FEA dessert party when they open for our dates, and I'm now seriously considering the Hallowishes dessert party specifically not to have to stake out a parade spot. I think reducing the stress will make it worth it for us. Also we just made a change to our trip reservation that's saving us like $250 so that can justify it...

What's weird is that in the "Know Before You Go" section it talks about the parade on the Plaza Garden Viewing page as well.

Hmm maybe both dessert parties include parade viewing. I am not sure what would cause one to be considered premium if that is the case, though.

Unless Disney considers sitting at Tomorrowland Terrace to watch the fireworks to be a better experience?

For the HEA dessert parties the Tomorrowland Terrace seated viewing is $84 for adults and the Plaza Garden Viewing is $69, so they do consider the terrace viewing to be a premium. The Hallowishes parties are priced the same, so maybe the Plaza Garden viewing one will include parade viewing. I sure hope so! That's a far easier sell for me.

If the Plaza Garden view party also includes reserved parade spots, then how can I NOT book this? lol.

But yes, cheaper AND a better view is definitely a no brainer!

It sounds like this is getting released tomorrow and I'm definitely going to call and find out.

I haven't done a dessert party but from what I understand, HEA has much more castle projections that you need a good line of sight for. I plan to book one of the HEA parties, either before or after depending upon reviews when the after one starts
 
It does look like the parade viewing is for both. I did call in, not bookable yet, I assumed that is what I'd get, but thought I'd try.

Edited to add: It is odd that the Premium pkg has the parade listed as follows;
Break Out Y’er Broomsticks!
Enhance your Halloween fun with a spirited spell-ebration— select nights August 17 through October 31, 2018!

Descend upon Magic Kingdom park for a spook-tacular evening during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. You’ll kick off your night with a viewing of Mickey’s “Boo-To-You” Halloween Parade from a reserved location along Main Street, U.S.A. Then, drift over to the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant to indulge in a bewitching buffet of swoon-worthy sweets and sips—including chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate mousse, cupcakes, ice cream, seasonal fruits, cheeses and other ghoulish goodies created daily by our master pastry chef. Sparkling cider, signature lemonades, coffee, tea and hot chocolate will also be served.

And Plaza:
Break Out Y’er Broomsticks!
From flickering tricks to the sweetest treats, enhance Halloween fun with a private dessert party that’s spook-tacular!

Got goblins? Grim grinning ghosts and Guests alike are invited to descend upon Magic Kingdom Park for the Happy HalloWishes Dessert Party, a bewitching buffet of confections and entertainment sure to send spirits soaring. Experience this hair-raising happening at the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant on select nights August 17 through October 31, in conjunction with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party—even the most voracious vampires won’t want to miss it!

Raise your glass for a ghostly toast of sparkling cider while indulging in Halloween-themed eats, including chocolate-dipped strawberries, cupcakes, ice cream, seasonal fruits, cheeses and other ghoulish goodies created daily by our master pastry chef. Specialty drinks, signature lemonades, coffee, tea and hot chocolate will also be served.

As showtime nears, Cast Members will escort you to a prime location in the Plaza Garden—where you can enjoy priority views of the Happy HalloWishes Fireworks spectacular over Cinderella Castle. It’s a fright fest of color, music and light you’ll never forget!

Hopefully the "Know before you go" isn't pasted and copies in error on Disney's end.
Guess we will find out soon. :teeth:
