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

We'll all have a great time at the event, special parade viewing location or not. We're all on our way to Disney World, temporarily leaving the stress or tedium of work and everyday life! Hooray! Disney clearly messed up here and they are paying for it, and they'll continue to pay for it with some unhappy customers that night. But I'll be wearing a pumpkin shirt watching my kids fill their bags with what they think are "free" candy....hopefully with a huge smile on my face!

Word!

We need more parents like you! Hope you're tick or treating with them! :-)
 
I arrive on Oct 29th, I'm really hoping for some cooler temps, not cold like last year just cool enough for a light weight sweater in the evenings. There's nothing like Fall, ya all! :goodvibes
I’m hoping it’s warm enough to swim since we’ll be at beach club!
 
Sort of a dumb question here. We have 5 day park hoppers for our upcomming trip along with MNSSHP tickets. I have booked FP's for our 5 days plus FP from the 4-6 time frame for the party night. Our plan for the party day is pool, disney springs then the party at night. It looks as if disney has automatically linked our party ticket to our magic band since they are showing up in the app. My question is when we go to the park the night of the party will the magic band know to use the party ticket over our regular park tickets since we have FP's booked?
 
Hi… What is the refund policy for the Halloween party? I have tickets to three parties and thinking of canceling one of them
 
Well that makes my decision easy LOL

Not so fast! I recommend you call and see what they can do for you. I cancelled our entire trip two years ago and they refunded my party tickets and we were attending two nights. Just let them know it was a mistake. If they say no, try again. Disney is a very generous company and the CM's might be able to make some magic! Good luck!

Thanks for the info… I’ll give it a try. If I can’t cancel, no worries, the worst part would be having another fun night LOL

Be sure to enter through the designated Party tapstiles located on the far right and staffed by cast members in MNSSHP clothing (impossible to miss). Also, do not enter earlier than the party crowd is let in. As long as you do that you should be fine. Of course there are cautionary tales about errors occurring but the overwhelming majority of guests have no issues as long as they follow these simple rules.
And...
After entering the party and before your next park day, you can check with guest services or hotel concierge to be sure your tickets were accessed correctly if that will make you feel better.

But this isn't a sale and it wasn't something that said act now or you lose it. It was a mistake that was written on the site. Just because you didn't book it at that point doesn't mean you didn't have the intention to book it at some point because of it. Many people don't go back and read the descripition again after they read it the first time. Bottom line it is unfair to anybody after announcing it. They are going to pay the exact same as everyone else and they are getting something special. If it would have stated to book early or act now to get parade viewing then I understand but it didn't they changed without saying a word to anyone and then after several complained then they threw a parade view together for those that booked. So to me it is unfair for them not to offer it to everyone and to me those of us who called and complained when we lost it had ever right in doing so but they people who book at the exact same price point have the right to do so also. Disney doesn't have to do anything for them but its worth a shot.
The other problem that can or will occur is what about those who bought the dessert party and are not following this thread would not even know they could have kept what they originally bought. If I would have bought this dessert party at the beginning of time and then go to the party and not get what others had because they complained I would be ticked off. Many people are going to complain at each party and Disney needs to figure out how to handle it. I am staying far away my night I am there!!!

Ok perfect thank you! We also got the hard plastic cards with the MNSSHP ticket on them. I was thinking just to use these to keep our magic band out of the equation but I wasn't sure how the FP would work then.

Thanks so much. I was just about to ask a similar question.
