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

[Famous Amos]

Is it really possible no one else has a Terrace or Plaza dessert package on October 30th with parade viewing?​

C'mon now, don't be shy, fess up!​

I am going to MNSSHP on Oct 30 and I will be attending the terrace dessert party with parade viewing. I got from my call yesterday confirming it. Me, my twin sister and her 6yr old DD will be there.


Me and my sister will be bounding in matching "Evil Queen" outfits (basically purple dresses with black thin duster sweater and fab weird purple crowns). I think my niece is leaning towards Sleeping Beauty.


So you will have a fellow DISer with you at the parade viewing albeit a newbie!
Thank you to everyone posting on here - this is the first time I've been back to Disney World since I was a child so the information posted here is invaluable.

We are doing the party October 28th. I booked all our FPs this past Sunday at my 60 window. Now I just booked 2 FPs for October 28th between 4-6.
Is this okay? It's not going to cancel any other of my FPs?

How were you able to make FPS for October 28 already?

 

[Haley R]

Yep, last year CM's didn't mind if you took them with you, hence the packing. Though I would eat there if I had kids! And don't forget the milk, you'll need it after all that sugar!

We don’t have any kids so it’ll just be Dh and I. Maybe they’ll put us up front since it’ll just be the two of us.

It was relatively comfortable moving around and the line at the buffet table didn't seem as long to me as previous years where I've done the non Halloween version of the dessert party. It definitely seemed like less people, but I don't know if it was just not well booked or if they were just not selling as may tables.

So do the Garden folks just mingle around or do they use different tables to enjoy there treats and then they are escorted to the Garden view?

Does anyone think I should try switching our terrace to garden?

Plaza Garden people eat their desserts up in this area, which is the "upper" level of the Tomorrowland Terrace. They also use the "middle" Terrace for Plaza Garden people too. Whenever you feel so inclined to "move over" to the garden, you can either walk yourself of go to the CM stand and they'll escort you over.

You would lose your parade viewing. At some point you have to stop doubting your plans and just go with it. You will have a great time.

Funny, I debated this as well. I am thinking we’d lose parade viewing at this point. I’m not going to sweat it. I got what I really wanted, parade viewing.
I’ve done both parties, and there are pros and cons to both. We will hope for the best.

I thought they would maybe let us keep our parade viewing. I just won’t worry about it.

I agree -- I think they might. When I got my second call (not from Winston, but the scripted call) she said I should call if I want to make any changes so that they keep the parade on my reservation.

H All, I’ve scanned about 20 pages of comments but cannot seem to find the email address that I should email for the parade viewing. I’m doubtful they will reach out to me because I cancelled before 6/18, but I cancelled because a CM told me before they changed the website that parade viewing won’t be included so I cancelled.

Thanks!

I know you can’t use fast pass during the party but does anyone know if the Disability pass can be used during the Halloween party?

In my experience, no. My youngest often has a DAS and we have found that it can’t be used at parties. DAS needs a functioning FP line to work, and when those are not operating (parties and emh, for example) we have been denied using it. Of course, this being WDW, I’ve read others with different experiences, particularly during emh. I would make plans on das not working, and consider it pixie dust if a CM does allow you to use it for rides at the party.

I sent mine to:
wdw.guest.communications@disneyworld.com

Now, I’m still waiting for a call back (sent my email Saturday) but this was the address recommend by others here.

I would just give them a call yourself. The number they give you to call them is not a private number to there personal number. It is a general line and most times they don't answer and you need to leave a voicemail anyway. If you want it just PM me as I am not sure the rules of posting the number.

Okay I might call them!

I was wondering the same thing. I’ve seen multiple post of people doing this. From what i’ve Seen they are paying (maybe pass holders) to do their FP’s early.

The CL extra FPs are only 90 days out, though, so still doesn’t get us to October...

This is awesome and I love your costume ideas too! So for now it looks like there will be a total of five gal pals enjoying the parade together. My friend will be Sherlock Holmes and I'll be Dr. Watson! As of now we can tag this as a Girls Only party! Woot!!! As my girl friend would say, "No Boys Allowed!"

Also I noticed this is your First post, to the DIS newbie!

This looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing the photo. I hope they have pudding.

We only used it a few times for DS and it was never for the entire stay. DS had his good days and bad days. Wouldn't they allow for guests to use it between 4-6pm on a party night? I can see them not wanting to allow this after 6pm as most rides are walk on's.
