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

[Haley R]

When did they start closing BTM during the parties, when we went in 2015 it was open and my DD loved it at night however when we went in 2016 it was down for refurbishment for my whole trip.

We don’t know what’s going on yet. They may have accidentally left it off the list, are refurbishing it, or are putting something in that area instead during the party.

I hope so

I finally received them.

Glad to hear it!

On the MAIN page there's a link to 2017 which can take you to 2016 and so on. All the rides are posted for each year. Of all the parties we've attended (last week in October) 2017 was the first year we've ever ridden BTMR.

Refurbishments a look see...

Splash Mountain
August 28th through November 16th, 2017
January 8th through February 1st, 2018

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
April 4th through to July 15th, 2016
August 8th through November 18th, 2016

Based on this information, it looks like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is in need of refurbishment.

EDIT:
MNSSHP 2016 - Open Attraction in Frontierland
Frontierland
Country Bear Jamboree
Splash Mountain
Liberty Square
Haunted Mansion

MNSSHP 2017 - Open Attraction in Frontierland

Do you all see the pattern here?

Some party goers were able to ride both just prior to one of them shutting down for refurbishment.

I hope so

I’m really hoping it’s open while we are there. It’s our favorite ride.

Yeah I seen that, it's just odd. We rode it on Sept 20th party in 2015 at 7:57pm, I have the pic that timestamps it. I just hope they have it this year my husband has not experienced it during a party yet.

So psyched! Just bought my ticket for 9/9!!

Has anyone bought MNSSHP tickets from Undercover Tourist? I see the date available for the party I would want but how does that even work?

I bought a normal park ticket from them with no problem but this seems like it could have more issues

I've heard they're the same price so I just purchased through Disney.

Mine too! I am trying to stay positive, but will be SO disappointed if its closed.

Well for the date I am looking at it would be $94 for AP discount but $80 through Undercover Tourist. Which is a decent savings if its legit!

They are a legitimate, authorized ticket broker for Disney and the ticket should work just fine if you purchase from them. However, Disney's advance purchase price for MNSSHP is usually cheaper.

Did you select a party date on UT's website? I believe $80 is their default price and will adjust when you select a party date.

That was my issue! Thanks! Cheaper through Disney. So that saves that worry!

If it's closed it won't be the end of the world, but it will be a sad day lol

I have tickets booked for Return to Sleepy Hollow on 10/5 at 10 pm, and I am interested in switching them to 10/3 at 10 pm. We have the priority seating. What is the best way to go about this? We booked through a TA, and I already emailed her, but would it be easier for me to just call and do it myself?

ETA: Also, what even are the odds that I can still get the priority seating for 10/3?

I got an email from UPS earlier this week saying a 2 day express package (weighing 0.0) is coming from WDW Fulfillment. But UPS LOST MY PACKAGE!!! I'm not even sure what it is which makes it even more frustrating (I get so much in the mail from Disney lol). Did anyone else get their MNSSHP tickets this week? Or anything else unexpectedly from "WDW Fulfillment"? Thanks!!!

I found out it was just my memory maker card. But UPS managed to lose it. Lol.
