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

[Ruth B]

Had a fantastic party tonight. I love early September parties. Crowds were what I remember from early Sept 2014. Some isolated hot spots at times but nothing bad at all. Walked up to the first parade and had a decent spot a few folks back (not great, but passable holding DS). Second parade was dead. You could have walked right into the hub at fireworks time and had a great view. We popped a squat in the old Wishes FP area (west side) and sat the whole time.

Rode 7DMT twice with no more than a 10-15 minute wait each (was posted at 20).

Didn't do any characters but did peak at the dwarves around 11:10ish and there were maybe 20-30 people in line.

Very much a fan of the bypass entrance for partygoers. I think that works very well.

Candy areas seemed a bit more plentiful than prior years (?) and very effecient.

What is the bypass entrance? Thanks

Wow, this might be the only place in the world where you will read...

"Oh man, that party was SO dead. It was AWESOME!!!"

Thanks for the reports, all

Root Beer barrels at Gaston's = YAY!!!! Werther candy anywhere? Love peeps, too.
Looking forward to magic shots -
Looking forward to the 20th!!!!

I explained the ticket numbering earlier in the thread, I can do it again!

Tickets have a date, site, station, and number. At any given station, the number is just the number of tickets issued so far that day at that station. If I sold a MNSSHP ticket today as my 103rd ticket on my station, it would be #103. It's got nothing to do with how many party tickets have been sold or what day they've been sold for.

thanks! the thread is SOOO long it is hard to keep up with it. But I suppose I should have done a search of it first.

If you search this thread only (not the entire forum) for the word bypass, you'll find the previous discussion and links to maps.

Any sign of thebig bad wolf??

He is not meeting at the parties, sorry. Would be nice if he was. He wasn't even in the parade.

thanks for all the party updates!!! from reports it seems meeting jack and sally right away saves a lot of valuable party time. I am going dressed as sally, I was going to change in bathroom at 7 since it involves tights, wig, makeup and then meet them later. However, now I think I will come fully dressed at 4 and hop in line at 4;30 I just hope its not too hot! Thanks again for all the tips!!!!!

It's behind the shops on Main Street on the right hand side, so just keep to your right after walking past Town Square theater after entering MK.

Went to my first MNSSHP on Thursday 9/8 and it was amazing!!! I usually go in November and always go to MVMCP. The Halloween party was so much fun! It wasn't sold out and mostly everything was a walk on and the lines for characters weren't long at all. The Haunted Mansion was awesome with the ghost on the lawn. I stopped to see her more than once and she was so funny! I love all of the fog at the train station and HM. I got a spot for the first parade at 8pm in Frontierland. I like to watch from there, since the parade route starts there and I can enjoy the rides right after. Hallowishes was awesome! Probably my favorite fireworks I have ever seen, and even better than Holiday Wishes. I stayed until the very end. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. We are going back next September and I definitely want to do the party again! This was my solo night, to enjoy the park by myself since the rest of my group did not want to attend since we had a toddler who would definitely not make it that late at night. We did HDDR at 4pm, and I took the boat back to MK afterwards and got there around 6pm, with plenty of time before the party started.

Can't wait to go again!

These last party reviews all sound amazing. So hope it isn't very busy end of the month when we go although I suspect it will be more crowded. Glad everyone is having a great time!

So, the crazy Disney fan that I am just planned a spontaneous trip out to WDW for next week. There is a party on the 20th, and I really want to do it since I have never done a holiday party. However, my Dad and I don't usually celebrate Halloween anymore, therefore we don't like to dress up. Is it still fun to go and not dress up? Are most of the people there dressed up or do a lot of people just go to enjoy the party without dressing up? We don't want to feel out of place. Thanks for any info.

I would say there are most non-costumed people than those that dress up. A lot of family t-shirts with Halloween themes (Mickey outline with name underneath)

we've gone to the party plenty of times and never dress up, you won't feel out of place.

We had so much fun at the first party, we're thinking about flying down for another party.

I did not dress up, mainly because I did not want to be in that heat with a full costume on. I did wear a themed tank top that said "Lets go trick or treat down Main Street." There were a lot of people dressed up and not dressed up. It is all just as much fun. I thought it was so much fun just seeing everyones costumes through the night.

We are so excited to do another Halloween party, ( missed last year's as went to Disney in may)
I really want to dress up again however husband would like a break, as I normally make him dress up lol he has been jack sparrow twice and Peter pan twice " tights and all "lol
My boys are 11,11,14 and while the twins would dress up they also are happy to go in Halloween tshirts.
I've been Tinkerbell twice her winter outfit and normal one and Cinderella in her pink dress! I wanted to go as Alice this year, as I think I'll be too old next year....
Although hubby says I still look 21 haha.
Feel like Halloween tshirts will be a let down, when I see everyone else dressed up, hubby has the flashing light Mickey top and two other disney Halloween Tees.he just doesn't want to be too hot as it's early October! I was wondering about letting the twins do pirate league? But it's probably booked up by now.
Sorry for long rant I'm just a little lost this year and we leave in two wks lol

I say if you want to dress up, dress up! Same goes for your boys - if they want to, great! If not, great! You will have fun either way, but don't let the naysayers spoil your fun

You would only have to print them if you didn't have a Magic Band.

Technically this is true, however crazy things happen to magic bands and then you get pulled aside to have a CM work on it which might take awhile ... so if you just print them and take them with you all that craziness and wasted park time can be avoided. I always recommend you bring your printed voucher or plastic ticket just in case.

After being so disappointed that there is no new MNSSHP bucket this year, this helps take the sting out of it...
http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2016/09/refillable-popcorn-available-at-wdw.html?m=1

Can you take the refillable bucket into the Halloween party and use it then?

 

[garthbarth1]

This seems like a really silly question - but are there a lot of people/kids at the party in costumes that are not disney themed? My MIL just bought my daughter this totally awesome Bat Girl costume and then casually dropped the suggestion bomb that "it would just be so perfect for the party..." But I don't want my daughter to feel out of place and I haven't seen a lot of mention of non-disney costumes.

This is our 10th party this year, and we have never done a Disney theme! Hope that helps!!
