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

The CM’s did a great job checking magic bands last night! :) We were constantly asked to show our wrists. I didn’t see anyone without a band on at the earlier meet and greets.
Do you know if it’s possible to line up without a wristband at all? We plan to tag team jack and Sally and will be inside the park already by 2pm and plan to enter the line around 3pm. I know Band distributions starts close to 4pm so I wonder if I’ll have to leave my spot while I don’t have a wristband?
 
Wait - they don't confiscate the candy, just check it, right?

Correct, reports after the first 2 MNSSHPs are that airport security does not confiscate the candy. If you do not have pre-check they have been making people remove the candy from their carry-on bags, so have the candy in a ziploc bag which will be easy to grab.

Has anyone flying home that have had their candy checked have TSA PRE? Just curious. We are going to Tues party and will have our candy in ziplocs. Just wondered if they're checking that candy too? Will be prepared for it to be checked.

I had Precheck the day after the first MNSSHP. I had my candy in ziploc bags. I left the candy in my carry-on bag. We were not told to remove food items from our carry-on bags in the Precheck line.

The one thing to keep in mind if you choose to put candy in your checked luggage is to consider how long your luggage might be outside in the FL heat before getting on the plane. It might be just fine or it might be soup.

Don't forget that car trunks can get hot, so if you do Uber/Lyft/taxi/car/towncar to the airport, have the candy in the car with you, not in the trunk. I haven't ridden Magic Express so I don't know what they do with your carry-on bags.
 
I wanted a Fastpass which ended at 6:00 but could only get one which ended at 5:30. So it may be a technical possibility to get one which ends at 6:00 but you won't necessarily be able to get one.

Yes, good point - that last FP start time would be 5:30 with a use window of 5:30-6pm.

Thanks for clarifying.

Need coffee!

It’s possible I suppose. I don’t really know how the line queue works for Jack and Sally. I would be ready to pull-up your tickets on MDE to show them proof of your tickets. Maybe that would help.

I was able to purchase party specific merchandise at the Emporium without a wristband at 3pm by showing proof of tickets.
 
Silly question- is mobile ordering still available during the party? I have a hunch that it isn't but didn't know if anyone could confirm. Thanks! :)

Adding freezer pack and insulated bag to my pack list even with precheck. Thanks for the tip.
