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

[DisneyMaleficent50]

Someone might have said in the 400+ pages and I missed it, but do we know how late the Headless Horseman magic shot still let's people get a picture? Trying to prevent backtracking during the party and plan on staying late

And thanks for all of those posting live reports tonight! I'm all about realistic criticism both good and bad, but it's nice to see more good finally lol

I was told photopass on main street and that one till 1am when i asked a photopass photographer at 1205am

hate to be that person that asks a question which I'm sure has been answered but here I go:
How long has Elvis Stitch's line been at different times through out the party?
We might be able to get in line by 5 or 6 if that guarantees a faster meet

We got in line at 1137 and met him at 1143. They closed his line at 1140 for this set. Don't know if he came back out

I'm hoping for even later but that's good to hear that at least until midnight, thanks for the quick response!

I got one at 1205am and photographer said main street and HH MS till 1am

Question....can you use disney gift cards at the kiosks?

@Dentam your pics were great and I'm especially loving the close up of Cadaver Dans!

Sometimes if not sometimes they can send you to a store nearby and you just bring them back receipt

You can choose resort delivery on the shop parks app once you are within a certain window of your trip (I want to say 2 days prior to check in?) but I’m not sure how quickly they’ll deliver.

Thanks! I will have to check if there are still discounts in oct.

Hi guys

Never attended a mnsshp previously-dh is not totally into it;
But looking forward to fireworks and parade.
I'm excited for the disney junior party!!

Couple of questions (I have not read through the whole thread)

We will be in wdw Sept 26-Oct 3rd;
Would 10/2 be a reasonable night to attend?
Is there disabled fireworks viewing as per 'usual'?
Is das still actively implemented?
Are crowds generally lower than late night emh?

Thanks in advance for your time dissers.

We got in line a few minutes after 9:30 and were done right at 10.

Anyone having any issues with photos from the party showing up in your account? We did the front entrance/headless horseman photos on our way out right around midnight and they still haven’t shown up in my account. New photos from today’s breakfast are there though.

We enjoyed the party. Thought the crowd level was really good all day, including the party. We were there rope drop to midnight. Rode every ride and did every show in the park with minimal wait. Our longest waits of the day were about a half hour for Elvis Stitch and 40-45 for Halloween Pooh and friends. I was shocked at the lack of line for Halloween Mickey. We walked right in. Minnie was much longer than Mickey, which I found really surprising.

MNSSHP 2018 Mystery Set thread started if anyone wants to post there about trading duplicates. I have seen lots of reports since they are only available in one spot of people getting several of the same pins. Hoping to trade out since i got 11 big bad wolf. These are the ones i am referring to.

They would not sign my dd8 autograph book just did picture

What a downer! I was so excited but now, not so much! Thank you. I will revise the Character List on the Itinerary thread back to the way it was.

Edited again, it appears the Evil Step Sisters most likely will NOT sign autograph books.

Yes we had delays. Attended friday night and some were there right after party like the hatbox ghost but others from main street did not show up till sunday morning. We did have one not show up but stopped by photopass center and they were able to fix the missing ballroom dancers

Might just depend on circumstances.....cruella did not sign either

I am trying to get a party review posted. I think i have most of the times now so i will try to get it posted tonight.

For those asking about candy haul we had 2 adults 1 child. We did not do much ToT prior to fireworks. I took gallon zip lock bags and dumped disney bags in them whenever they were half full. We ended up with 8 gallon bags full. Of those i probably have a gallon bag each of plain m&ms, peanut m&ms. Starbursts, red skittles, 5pk fruit gummies. Those are what we have the most of. Sorry i did not count each kind lol.....

 

[DisneyMaleficent50]

If you fill the bags disney gives you to max capacity they will almost fill up a gallon slider bag. They will hold more candy than you think.....

I hope future parties continue to go as well as the one last night seemed to have gone!

Any updates on wait times throughout the night for Moana, Captain Jack, Lotso, Pooh and 7 Dwarves (characters not the ride)? Hoping that some of the lines aren't too bad - especially during the fireworks. It is hard trying to coordinate 5 peoples wish lists.

 

[DisneyMaleficent50]

We hit the trick or treat stand by lotso when he was leaving a set.....just before 1130. There were 2 families waiting in line

We attended the 8/31 party & it was the highlight of our trip! We slept in & swam a bit in the morning as we’re not aft/evening park goers in August - too hot & we get cranky - so I wanted to conserve energy.

Here’s a breakdown of our night if it helps anyone plan. We decided to focus on characters since it was the end of our trip & we’d ridden everything already. I think the key is to decide beforehand what’s important to you & organize a “plan of attack.”

1:45 Arrived (APs/DVC)

2:25 Lunch at BoG
*the crossover crowds are the worst. It’s the hottest part of the day & the park is *packed* with party attendees incoming & day guests so we looked for A/C & quiet things to do*

3:15-4:40 Speedway, Philharmagic & Dumbo play area, party band pickup at Philharmagic

4:45-6:30 7D m&g (my boys stayed in the Dumbo tent) & DD & I took turns checking on them every 15 minutes as I was solo with the kids

6:40-7:30 Pooh & friends m&g
* we hit treat lines as we moved between m&gs

7:40-8:10 Lotso m&g

8:15-8:35 Stitch m&g

8:40-9:40 parade

9:45-10:15 online ordered & ate at Ray’s

10:20-10:40 Minnie m&g

10:40-10:50 Donald & Daisy m&g

10:50-11:00 Goofy m&g / barnstormer

11:15-11:30 Mickey m&g

11:40 hopped a boat back to BRV

We would definitely do a party again! We were super happy it didn’t rain as we would have had a different experience, but not even Disney can control the weather.

Thank you SO much for posting this! This will be our first MNSSHP so it's very helpful to see how people have gotten around to everything. Our party date, 10/18, will actually be our 3rd MK day of our trip so I'm not too worried about rides either. Want to concentrate on M&G, ToT, parade and treats . Doesn't look like you waited too long for any of the characters (besides 7D, but that's to be expected). This will definitely help me in planning my strategy! Glad to hear you had so much fun!

Hoping friday's party isn't crowded, fingers crossed!
