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

[Mambo Junkie]

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.

Last time we went, I got SM from 3:15 - 4:15, 7DMT 4:15-5:15, and Splash from 5:15-6:15. We got in a few minutes before 4:00 so it all went well.

Moana meets at the Tiki Room?
That asked, I have 2 main goals: To meet Moana and Jack/Sally. I plan to get in around 4. Should I just go straight to the Tiki Room and wait it out? We also have 6:15 ADR at BOG.

Also, I am not using a park ticket on the MNSSHP day. I have read we can't get fps this year if not using a park ticket, then I've read we can. Which is it?

If you want to do both meet Jack/Sally first since they come out first.

If you want to do both meet Jack/Sally first since they come out first.

Would it be doable and get to BOG by 6:15?
What, in your opinion, is the best strategy to meet both, and what time? I've heard Moana gets quite long.

ETA: although they are our main goals, we don't care anything about the rides except HM and POTC. We also want to do the fireworks/parade and plan to do the later shows

Those two meets plus BOG reservations at 6:15 will be tough. You would need to be near the front of either line to be done before BOG. Then you will have a long wait after dinner for the other.

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

That's a great idea to keep it in your checked bag!

If you get in line for Jack/Sally at 4 you should be done by 5:30ish so plenty of time.
It would mean meeting Moana during party time though but if you don’t mind a long wait it’s possible.
I would consider dropping BOG..

If BOG is a must do ADR for u, I’ve read ur best bet is to choose whichever has the longest line (thinking Moana), attend ADR then, meet Jack and Sally later into the party.

That is my plan too, since our flight doesn’t leave until 7:30 pm. I haven’t decided whether we will use airline check in at the resort or just keep it with us in our rental car. Either way, it will be subjected to some September heat at some point.

Tiki Room closes at 5pm on party days (same as Pete’s Silly Sideshow).

FWIW, you can check the Times Guide for attraction hours: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/p/weekly-walt-disney-world-times-guides.html

Or Disney’s website (change the date on the right): https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/enchanted-tiki-room/

I have a 3:30-4:30 FP for space mountain. Assuming we are let in park at 3:45 (going off previous years), should I be able to make it space and then to Tiki before it closes? If it closes at 5, what time would last show start?

For the party this past Friday they didn't let us in until exactly 4:00.

Hmm, that's no fun. Maybe they'll become more lax as parties continue...

 

[Ceilidhscot]

Is the Alex and Ani Halloween bangles only available during the party or can you buy them at any time (and where are they).
Thanks

Around what time does the Sun sets in late September? My itinerary have me taking my Magic Shots outside Magic Kingdom at around 6:30pm but after watching the live stream the other day I'm worried they won't come out as good as they could be. I don't usually leave the park before 1am, so taking them as we leave is not really in the cards for us.

Also, I am not using a park ticket on the MNSSHP day. I have read we can't get fps this year if not using a park ticket, then I've read we can. Which is it?

You can get FP's on your party ticket, but you can't book FP's on a regular park ticket and a party ticket on the same day. Some people have had issues with receiving an email that they've got too many FP's booked when they've got FP's on both park tickets and party tickets (not on the same day though) and that their last day of FP's will get deleted. Usually the advice is to book all the other FP's first and then book the FP's for the party last. If you get the dreaded email, you can call IT and they'll sort it out for you. They might only let you keep 2 FP's though, as they say that's all you're allowed on a party ticket. A lot of people have successfully booked 3 though.

Did you get to see the Headless Horseman, or had he already gone through by the time you made it to the flagpole?
Thank you for the details!

We did not see the horseman, but I don’t think he rode before the first parade because of the earlier rain. We got to the flagpole while the Zootopia dance party was still going on, so if he typically rides after that, you should be ok.

Hey there @DisneyWishes14. You're an experienced WDW person... mind if I ask your opinion on the crowd level at last night's party? Just curious as to your perspective, if you don't mind sharing.

Hope you're having a good trip!

I thought the crowd was a bit big, actually. At least bigger than I was expecting. The lines for trick or treating became very long throughout the night. Much longer than what we had experienced when we attended the first party last year. We still had a lot of fun!

Maybe you would like to see this video I posted in the other thread. They do J and S and then Moana

 

[paopiru]

I,m worried about.having to roam around to see if Cruella Is out there doing m&g. We are going in Oct so I hope to have more info around that date.

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?

We did this last year. We were in the line a little bit before 4, and then at 4 my boyfriend went off to get his wristband, then when he came back I went to get mine.
