Hi! Welcome to,

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2017
Strategy in the making!
upload_2017-5-13_11-1-34.png
Halloween is my favorite time of year! I love the fall colors, cool breeze, decorations, culinary treats and most importantly the costumes!!! I find Walt Disney World not only embraces my favorite festival but adds to it with style and flare, where else can adults and children of every age dress up and go Trick or Treating, meet fun vivacious characters like Cruella De Vil and Captain Jack Sparrow! Have you ever seen Dancing Ghosts let alone catch a ride with one?

Here we'll explore all things relevant as we prepare to be
Spookified!

Strategy to creating a Daily Itinerary

Personal thoughts on itineraries: They are like snow flakes no two are alike. So feel at ease posting them for discussion. Even if someone copies it rest assure they won't stay with it for various reasons, meet & greet, ADR's, parades, shows etc... these will vary from guest to guest - so post away!
My approach is keep it loose and get as much done as you can. I have two days and nights dedicated to MK on this trip so I'll be using park tickets, party tickets and dividing MK into sections each day: Fantasyland/Tomorrowland/Liberty and Adventureland/Frontierland.

Sunday, Oct. 29 MK 9a-7p & MNSSHP 4p-12 Fantasyland/Tomorrowland/Liberty Square
**FINAL PLAN!:D
8:40a Rope Drop - Get as close as you can to either of the two ramps heading through Cinderella Castle.
9:00-9:20 Space Mountain 20min
9:25-9:35 Buzz Lightyear 10min
9:40-10:00 Barnstormer 20min

*DH & DS will move onto Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom giving me time to do girly things!
10:25-10:40 Gaston - 15min :woohoo:

11:10-11:20 Find a few hidden Pascal's (Ten total)
11:25-12:15 11:35 Liberty Tree Tavern # 0000000000
12:15-12:35 FP Haunted Mansion 11:30-12:30
12:40-1:00 FP Peter Pan 20min 12:30-1:30

Fantastic thread FoxC! It's making me more and more excited for October to finally get here.

Does anyone know if the characters at the monsters inc dance party take photos with guests? Or can I take pictures of just them during the party?

You can take photos of them but normally they do not pose for photos or do autographs.

Thanks for stopping by!:D
 
wow, nice thread. I am going Christmas time. Hope someone makes something like this. Wow. Had a new thought today about trying to do a Halloween one at the 50th of wdw LOL It's just a dream but your post makes me want too try it.
I do like the way you spaced things out and it seems I could use some for the Christmas party as well.
 
Great thread and I like how you are planning your MK days. I'm going to print it out and use it as a guideline for my visit.
