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

I am so sorry my post was confusing. Clearly that was not my intention. I was trying to answer quickly but we got an Line around 3:30 PM. The line started to get very long shortly before 4 PM and by 4:30 PM it was two hours long. Once Jack and Sally came out we only waited 10 minutes to meet them. I hope that clears up any confusion!

Yep I got it now lol.

Thank you. Good to know. But, what if we want the party-exclusive card PLUS the starter pack? Then we have to go inside the Firehouse and register? How long does that take?

At our party they were just giving out the daily pack when we asked, they were just moving people through.

Normally you have to scan your bands to get the daily pack

To register to play takes 5-10 minutes depending on how much explanation you need... Everyone needs to scan their band in the party, and you go through a demo. Of course it also depends on how many in front of you are registering. There are 1-3 CM's usually running registrations.

Well so now I keep looking at weather forecasts. Sounds like the 9/3 party could be very wet. Glad I held off on tickets, I would have been so cranky.

Where are you seeing a very wet forecast for 9/3? Googling the weather is showing just a chance of thunderstorms mostly. Of course I read the link that @Rich M posted, but that just mentioned a chance for something to develop. Give me your sources! I need to stay up all night reading about what weather may or may not come!

I just see the normal thunderstorm activity that is normal during September.

Glad to hear that! I thought I was missing something!

Thank you! This is very helpful!

Well - I’ve got my bands ready for my Halloween trip!

Any tips you can give me on getting this to work? What kind of screwdriver did you use? I attempted this last Christmas using an eyeglass screwdriver and had no luck. Would love to do this for the Halloween Party. Thank you!

Deleting this post because I found an answer.

Well looks like the hurricane activity is starting in the Atlantic. Now I will be obsessing over the weather and reports all the way til October hoping that everything misses Disney this year. Good luck to us all.

HA! Watching that wave develop more by the hour.

That was looking at Accu-weather in case anybody wanted to check my source for that.

Y'all hurricane watchers care to share a link? We are heading down on Friday. Had to delay our trip last year 2 weeks due to Irma. Hoping we don't have to do that again!

So you don't have to wait for a news story.

I'm in the same boat, we check in Saturday but there is nothing we can do if weather causes a problem. Get me in the air in Texas and land me in Orlando. I'd rather shlog through rain at Disney than stay home. I have ponchos, umbrellas, plastic bags. I will be disappointed if some rides are down or MNSSHP has some closures but we will deal with it. We wouldn't be the only ones affected. One of the best trips we ever had was in September and I can remember standing in a rain puddle in front of Japan that covered my shoes, never saw so much rain in my life. Party on kids!

Yep, just PLEASE, please let our flight down to MCO happen, everything else we will deal with as/if it happens.

Translation: The POTENTIAL thing is barely off the coast of Africa in 5 days per the models.

I used a dynamite screwdriver Philips #0. It’s got a nice sturdy handle and is longer than those in the eyeglasses kits. Don’t know if I’m allowed to link out - purchased on Amazon.

Yes - so was Irma - went from nothing to TD to TS to Hurricane practically over night. Not quite but close enough. The USA Today story is just insane - could be two
"One storm could spin up in the Caribbean over the next few days and affect Florida over the Labor Day weekend. Looking further ahead, "there is the potential for two or three tropical features spinning over the Atlantic by the second weekend in September," AccuWeather meteorologist Dan Kottlowski said."

Call me crazy, but I tend to trust the National Hurricane Center over USA Today.

Please stop the hurricane stuff in here.

Eager for the reports from this Friday. Hoping that’ll round out our picture of the parties for this year.
