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

@firsttimer4 , I agree with others get rid of the day ticket and as far as transportation I would use Uber/Lyft to get to MK. Make sure the adults bring their costumes and while DD is getting Pixie Dust, you all can get dressed. There is also a photopass you can do as a group prior to leaving with various backgrounds. Using Uber/Lift will give you the time needed to get this done. So slow down and really enjoy DD's special day!
 
August hours updated. For those at MK the 17th, the afternoon parade is now at 2pm. I've been watching that for our re-entry timing. :)
 
I'd get rid of your regular day ticket like the other folks said. You're going to need to take a bus from BBB/Disney Springs to MK. BBB will take around an hour and may not start on time. That puts you at leaving Disney Springs at 3:15. The bus ride is at least 20 minutes, maybe 40. So arriving at MK between 3:35 and 3:55. Your day ticket would 'buy' you less than 30 minutes of park time. Instead spend that time on a monorail ride or stop by the photo desk at the Grand Floridian and get some photopass pictures of your princess around the GF. You don't need to make an appointment, and whenever that photo session ends you're a monorail ride away from the MK. :)
There is no bus from DS to MK so you’ll have to transfer at a resort (I’d pick GF then monorail to MK) - making the transportation time even longer. Wholeheartedly agree you should drop you day ticket - but I also wouldn’t give up on trying to find BBB on another day as well, if it works better with your plans. That seems like a lot of stress and transportation for one day!

Thanks for that info. I’m still going to try and get an apt for our other MK day. Gonna keep this one for a back up. This is her first time doing BBB and this is the only thing she has asked for this trip! I would really like to do it at MK so we don’t have to go to DS.

She is very excited about BBB! I don’t want to be rushed and also want to make sure we get to MK on time!

We took my 6 yo cousin years ago to BBB at DS, and then did the Halloween party. We took the boat from DS to POFQ, then a bus MK. She absolutely loved all of the attention on the boat and the bus, and she loved getting to meet Snow White, which is who she dressed up as.
I'm sure it will all work out...and if it helps, we personally felt that it was a bit less hectic at the DS location compared to the MK location. Good luck!

How long did it take? 1hr? When you went in were you immediately taken care of or did you have to wait? When we see these little girls all dolled up we make a fuss too. I curtsy and my husband & son bow and tell them how beautiful they look. We call them by their character names too. :goodvibes So much fun!

You are truly a magic-maker!

We made a reservation day of, and if I recall, the whole thing took about an hour or maybe hour and half? That was just for hair, makeup, and nails. We had brought our own Snow White dress with us so didn't do the photo shoot or any of that stuff.
 
I have two rooms showing in my MDE for same week same resort. This only occurred after I made a change to my reservation. When I called the internet/MDE line the CM said he could create a ticket to have it updated but fixing one thing could trigger other problems. I specifically asked if it could trigger losing fast passes or ticket problems and he said yes absolutely. He seemed very knowledgeable and said he recommended that I don’t do anything and everything would eventually sync. He checked all my fast passes, Regular tickets, party tickets, and room, and in his system everything was there and ok.


Syncing has taken place. Today my account shows everything properly.

I have a quick question regarding tickets. We are doing a Universal Trip only in August but want to attend the Halloween party. I plan to purchase my tickets online(we live in Canada and I believe to have the tickets sent it would be quite expensive) Since I will not have actual hard copies of the tickets, how do we enter the party. I have the app and we do have magic bands from 2 years ago but the battery is probably dead in them. Will I receive an authorization # and email that I present at the gate?
