"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

[FoxC63]

I will! I think this might be our most epic Halloween yet. My dragon obsessed daughter can't wait to be Maleficent and I've been explaining to my 3-year-old that we're going to make his hair blue for the day so he can be Hades. He's not so sure of that. I've promised good props (I'm already working on magic beans) which makes it all more palatable for them, especially my 7-year-old who is intrigued by the idea of holding Pandora's box and not so much being an evil Peter Pan. Now I've just got to figure out what to do with the stroller. So far I've only come up with maybe turning it into Regina's carriage... hmmm.

Oh so exciting and creative! Cannot wait to see it all!

Heeeeeeyyyyy friends!!! After a pretty long break from the boards.... immmmm bbaaaccckkkk!!!! Lol
After the GE opening hoopla we have decided to keep our trip as planned (August 31-September 8) and planning on attending yet another MNSSHP! Whew we really considered moving or canceling bc hubby is not a huge Disney fan (gasp ) and doesn’t like the crazy crowds. Not going to lie im still a bit nervous about it all and that he will be super grouchy and will never want to go back... but I’ve booked his favorite meals so hoping that will help!

So... I’ll have two possible dates to attend (choosing one first, but may add the other later) 9/2 (LD) and 9/6... we did that 9/6 party last year and it was FABULOUS!! But the 9/2 works better for us... who here went to the Labor Day party last year? Thoughts on attending a party on a holiday?

So glad to be back on here and see lots of familiar names again!
Also... just want to be correct this is the only party thread this year? No itenerary or roll call threads?!

back!
"Also... just want to be correct this is the only party thread this year? No itenerary or roll call threads?" - Currently there is no Itinerary thread, I cannot confirm the others.

Hi all! New to the MNSSHP and trying to decide between 2 dates. Maybe some of you pros can steer me in the right direction. We are booked for 09/19-09/27. We could do the Friday 09/20 party. MK has EMH that day. I'm not a super early riser, we don't rope drop, so that's not a deciding factor. With the early park closing will that negate the crowds for EMH we would typically see? The other day we are considering is Sunday 09/22. It's a tiny bit cheaper, and we are definitely more night owls so this could work out pretty good for us, but we have (tentatively) HS scheduled for Monday. How important will it be to arrive early to HS due to SWGE that Monday? I think if we can ride TOT , SDD (if we can get FP) and TSMM we would be happy. I would like to see Fantasmic too. Still quite a ways out for FP selections, but we do have 3 anytime FP in our arsenal from a DVC tour. I don't know all the rules for those yet, as I am just getting in depth with my planning and I feel a little overstimulated! If we can use those in HS I think we can have a pretty successful day.

Oh good to hear! So you did experience higher crowds at the party because of the holiday?!

The party seemed to be much quieter than the previous parties based on reports here. I was anticipating huge crowds and it wasn't bad at all. We watched the first parade and fireworks and then it really emptied out!

We thought about it jast year and I chickened our, but this year my son and I are dressing up as Squishy and Squishy's mom from Monster's University. I've already bought the floral nightgown/duster and the multi coloured hair rollers and the OK shirt and hat for my son. Just need to figure out a way to add extra eyes to our faces.

This will be awesome! Make sure to show us pictures!

Hi, I've got a discount/ticket price question. We just purchased our party tickets through MDE. Because we have annual passes on our accounts, we were given that pricing automatically. However, we are not planning to activate our annual pass until the week after the party date. Is this going to cause us a problem? The email confirmation mentions showing the annual pass and ID due to pricing discounts. We were sent a bar-code ticket with no mention of ID or pricing. Thanks.

I would just show your AP via your MDE and if that wasn't good enough you will either have to activate it or pay the difference in the regular party price and the AP party price.

Planning a Disney vacation is like planning a wedding?? You have to start booking your resort a year in advance. You need to buy your "party" dress. You need to figure out food and dessert or should I say your cookie table. The best part you spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for such a short time!!! Sounds like a wedding!!

Are you from the Pittsburgh area? That's the only place I have heard of a cookie table at a wedding!

 

[sheila14]

No, I am from the Youngstown area. We are Slovak/Polish and we have cookie tables at our family weddings. At Christmas time, I will usually bake about a dozen different types of cookies for each family member. Our most favorite is cheesecake bites, clothespin, and pizzells.

I’m from western PA, and you’re right, cookie tables are definitely a thing mostly surrounding this area! So is a “bridal dance.” It’s fun to see people’s impressions when they attend a wedding around here and they’re not locals.

My hubby is from Warren. His mom just sent home a coffee tin full of pizzelles a week ago and he ate the last one today!

I read something similar on the Christmas Party thread - a new fireworks show this year!

Oh no - I thought that was the best fireworks presentation I'd ever seen.

I agree! But I also said I would never like Happily Ever After because I was so upset they took Wishes away and now I love it so I'm keeping an open mind!
