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

[h&D3]

Yay! We got our tickets. We will be going 8/31 (I know, it will be hotter than blazes) but this will be one of the last days of our trip. What a great way to wrap it up.
The last time we were able to attend the MNSSHP was back in 2008. The other times we had Our DD will be thrilled to experience it again. The last time she went she was only 15 months old. I still laugh as she sat on DH's shoulders for the parade and boxed his ears to the beat of the music. (and laughed). In fact it was so funny, a CM came out of one of the candy shops and handed her a chocolate coin as a treat. (I think more so she would stop banging on his ears)

They took my email address and said that they would be sending something out, but nothing has arrive yet! OH I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Anyone else going on 8/31?

Coming from the U.K. and will be attending this event for the first time ever. Appreciate that what I’m asking can’t really be answered but...

We get to Florida on the 25th October, so not sure if we will want to go to the party on our first night after flying in. Is it generally thought that the cheaper the ticket the less busy it will be? Would a Sunday be quieter than the Friday?

I can't speak for what will be busier or not, but it would make sense as a business to have prices be cheaper on nights you expect to have more of an "issue" trying to get people to come visit. You will notice that weekend prices are more expensive compared to week day prices and general consensus is that week nights tend to be less busier. I would think a Sunday would be quieter than Friday personally.

Wooo, got ours for September 9th. Bummed that it's not on the 6th because I have to re-arrange, but that's okay! it's our first time and I am so excited!!!!

 

[Roy Disney]

Can only buy through phone ?

What about online ?

 

[Elle :)]

Question on Labor Day week. There's a party on 9/03, which is Labor Day and another party on Friday.
Which one would you guess to be busier?

 

[KNovacovschi]

I haven’t gotten mine yet either

It can usually take up to 24 hrs to receive the email, just like when you make a payment.

Only way I have seen so far is to call.

Got our tickets for October 9th. Not much of a DVC discount but better than nothing. Adults 110.11 each after tax, Kids 94.71 each after tax.

We have a total of 12 people going, and DVC let us get 6 tickets under my name and 6 under my wifes. We're both on the membership.

I got two adult tickets for October 30th and the same thing happened to me when linking it into MDE. It said that the one of the tickets wasn't for the age range of one of the guests, but it still let me go on and link the tickets and it seemed okay after that. Except when I look on the Tickets and Reservations page, it shows that the Halloween party tickets are there, but there is no text, just the link icon and who the ticket is linked to. I'm guessing this is a temporary glitch.

Mine appear the same way in MDE. At least I know if there are issues, I am in good company lol.

For anyone else who didn’t get their confirmation email or number, if you call ticketing directly, they can look it up with your name and address. Then you can link it to MDE. You will need to use the website though, it won’t link on the app. Their number is 407-566-4985

I just bought 4 (adult) tickets for 10/30 and the price was $116.09 each. This is our 1st time going at Halloween time... So EXCITED!!

Ugh - I hope we did the right thing. I could've booked earlier flights and did MNSSHP on Thursday Oct 4th at a much cheaper cost per ticket - but I was concerned our party would be exhausted from getting up so early for flights! Also could've booked the slightly cheaper Oct 8th option, but the crowd calendars caution on visiting MK that day (holiday combined with Monday perhaps?)... so we opted for Friday October 5th - the 2nd most expensive option, cheaper only to October 31st!!) Ack... I hope that doesn't mean it's going to be packed, because I get the impression there is no option to move dates??

Now I have to decide if we should do MK that DAY or save one of our park pass days for our flight out day (Oct 9th) - our planes depart 9pm so we have most of the day for a park that Tuesday, I just hate that nagging feeling that we'll miss our flights if we try to do anything. Also worried if we go into the park at 4pm with our MNSSHP tickets, somehow it'll ping our wristbands for our first park day and we'll be out a full day... that's probably me just over-worrying though.

Too close for me. Flight could change or be delayed. If past trends continue, guests with tickets will be able to enter starting @ 4pm, and some character lines form then. So most go from 4pm-midnight, or a little after. IMO, that a lot for Day 1, and possibly not a great start on your trip from Day 2 on, unless you plan to sleep in. We typically sleep in on party day, and head to park around 1-2, AP holders.

If you have a plan, crowds won't matter. I attended sold out parties last year for MVMCP (MNSSHP 2016/2 parties) and was able to do everything we wanted, characters, rides, parade & fireworks. Others have done the same too and shared their plans.

Can anyone tell me the adult price for 8/31?
Would like to let my sister know a price before we consider calling.
Also anyone know when you will be able to buy online as that's the preferred way we'd like to order.

My DD and I went to a party on our arrival day in 2015 and regretted it. By 9pm my DD was feeling sick from being exhausted from travelling all day, I wish we would have done it on the Tuesday instead of the Sunday.

I'm in Canada and am dealing with an Authorized Disney Travel Agent.

Will she be able to buy them for me and add the cost to my over-all plan that is due later?

I'm looking to go October 2nd.

Thanks!

 

[Roy Disney]

Any idea if September 30th will sell out quickly?
