"Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

[Kat73]

Anyone go to the party twice while they're there? I'm not tied down to any super specific plans other than soaking up F&W and all of the halloween whatnot. Haven't been to the Halloween party in six years, and it might be that long (or longer) before I get to go again. I'm kind of contemplating going one night to see all the shows, eat some of the special treats, and just (my favorite halloween party activity) people watch. Then spend the second party skipping the shows/parades/etc and do rides and character meet and greets. Is this a thing? Am I nuts?

Where can I get a wristband inside the park at 4pm? I want to get in line for jack and Sally right after

exit to Monsters Inc in Tomorrowland, Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland and Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland

If you are already there for the day how do you get your wristband? Do you show them it if its on your MDE?

If

If you are already there for the day how do you get your wristband? Do you show them your if its on MDE?

Your party ticket should be linked to your mb, they just scan the band. If you have the physical ticket they scan that

I did that last year. At the first party I met all my must characters and the second time did the parade, shows, and rides. The tips on here were fantastic for meeting Jack / sally and then the dwarfs. Also the tip of following the parade to the castle for a good spot to see Hocus Pocus was right on.

I hope everyone that went the other day and in days forward has a wonderful time. 24 more days for us. Now down to my question for the magic shots can u get them starting at 4? Let's say your getting your wrist band at the entrance can you get headless horseman then? Or how about at 11:30 when your leaving the park? Thx

We tried to get certain shots at 4 PM but were unable to do so (as I mentioned previously when attempting to get Headless Horseman shortly after 4 we ended up with Zootopia... which was a GREAT consolation prize!). We were asking about what time the Party Magic Shots but we got a different answer from each person we asked (pretty much the norm with CMs, lol). Some did say 5 PM, but we didn't get any ourselves until almost 7.

Hopefully someone can add an update to this.

I wish I could do this! People watching and meeting characters without feeling rushed? Yes, please!

We do. We did two parties in 2015, and have two parties booked again this year.

We are two adults, no kids: just kids at heart who like to have fun.

This is exactly what we are doing. Did it in 2014 and it was great. Still not enough time to do it ALL but we did everything we wanted to do, and then some, without feeling rushed.

Just in time for Halloween, a Haunted Mansion trivia quiz has been posted on Disney Parks Blog:

Can you get the SOTMK card before 7:00? How about party merchandise? Thanks!

 

[edk35]

Can someone tell me which is the best as far as crowds go for the party..... between Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday? We are there Oct. 15th for 8 nights and there are 3 parties to choose from? Thanks!!

I posted that same question but not on here. I am thinking of doing the exact same thing. We have never been to Disney in Oct. and I am so excited for the party. I don't think you are nuts at all. We are there Oct. 15th for 8 nights and there are 3 parties.

DH and I are going to our first MNSSHP as part of our first adults-only trip next month, and I am so grateful for this thread and all of the information in it!

Magic shot video with the haunted mansion dancers. It's so cool! I knew they were doing the magic shots but didn't know there was music with it until we reviewed our Photopass images

 

[DisneyFansInNYC]

Awesome! You get these when you get your bag at the same time?

Yes the area behind main street is where you get the Halloween bag and the small bag of candy.

If you are already there for the day how do you get your wristband? Do you show them it if its on your MDE?

They first asked my DH to leave and come through again. But then he asked if he could just scan his band - which is what they did.

Can you get the SOTMK card before 7:00? How about party merchandise? Thanks!

They told us no when we entered so we went back after 9pm.

 

[CatNipRules]

I'm sure this has already been asked, but the only ticket we need to get into the MNSSHP is that ticket? It won't use a days ticket for it? Because I'm confused now.....

 

[skuttle]

We plan on entering the park on our MNSSHP day as early as possible since we have FP for Jungle cruise 3:30-4:30. Will we get our wrist bands and treat bags when we enter at 4pm?

 

[FoxC63]

We are going late October, waiting for updated hours. Haven't seen anything yet. May i ask where you saw this?

Disney's web site: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/hollywood-studios/2016-10-28/#timeofday=allday

Again this is for Oct 28th at H.S. - Hope this helps!

Where/when do we pick up the Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom card?

Someone who actually attended said they tried to pick it up at 4pm but was told to return at 7pm however I specifically saw a photo on twitter of a person holding one long before it was dark outside.
I have picked them up at the Main Street Firehouse/Fire Station at 4pm in the past - don't know if this has changed. You will need to be wearing your MNSSHP wristband and the CM will mark it with a magic marker.
FYI - you cannot pick this up for someone else. Hope this helps.

 

[FoxC63]

That's a good point. I should have said you had to show proof that you were attending the party.

Always bring either your plastic MNSSHP card or printed voucher.
