“Official” 2018 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party – Strategy and Itinerary Thread

[FoxC63]

Well look who decided to drop in! I see you @sherlockmiles

No, I'm not done with my Christmas tree but I did take down three ornaments! Still working on it!

I will also note that most of these opps are available elsewhere in the park throughout the night, so they’re not exclusive to the bypass. For example, they have the frame over by LM and the bulb in the plaza garden.

What's LM? New thing that just popped up?

Have just booked the Sleepy Hollow event! Very excited!
It won't connect to MDE however, is this likely to be an issue? I've also not had a confirmation email yet

You will not get an email and it will not show up in MDE. Best option is to add it as a note.

@Haley R I also wanted to say, no one is allowed to get into any of the Character lines without a wristband. CM's do look for them.

And for those of you who do and have been able to

If you line up for a character right at 4, you can do so without your wristband because the CMs aren’t manning the line yet. We did this last year for Jack and Sally and tag teamed going to get out wristbands to be at the front of the line. You must have a wristband once the CMs arrive though.

It's a nice courtesy to tell the people behind you if you will have people joining you.
If 1 person - or a parent + 1 child - join, likely no comments/issues. Anything more than that I don't think is right.
We've had "groups" jump in front of us (mom/dad in line - joined at last minute by grama, grampa, cousin, 3 kids, aunt). NOT (HUGE FONT SIZE) cool at all.

Had that happen last year at MVMCP for 7 dwarves - 7 people joined the line and they wanted like 20 combinations of photos and after they were done we got rushed because it was yet ANOTHER break - they broke every 20 mins - and then I was upset because our interaction was so good but the CM taking photos was visibly annoyed and didn't bother taking action/candid shots - we got 2 photos that was it.

I did a review on: [URL="https://www.disboards.com/threads/%E2%80%9Cofficial%E2%80%9D-2018-mickey%E2%80%99s-not-so-scary-halloween-party-%E2%80%93-strategy-and-itinerary-thread.3672288/#post-58989882"]Post #12[/URL]

When you check-in on the right hand side in the building, you just give them your last name & party size. They do not ask for a confirmation number or ask to see an email. I agree its kinda weird not receiving 'something' from Disney when booking this event but they do have everything there.

I've actually seen CM's walk by and tell guests that they couldn't line up without the wristbands. I think it's their way of preventing non party guests from lining up in the queue. And yes, they do check for them when they put up the ropes as well as closer to the arrival of the character. Some non party guests play dumb or don't understand english when they're confronted.

@Cluelyss did you attend the Christmas party last year? Were there issues with FP's like we had with MNSSHP? And at the MVMCP they closed the park at 6pm, you were allowed in at 4pm did MK feel less crowded? Did you feel it was easier to find parade spots?

For anyone who attend last year, please feel free to chime in.

 

[FoxC63]

I'm must admit, I'm kinda happy about the park closing at 6pm instead of 7pm.

I FINALLY put away my Christmas tree last night and yes, it was fully decorated. The longest part of my evening was removing the batteries from all the ornaments! I admit, I had to press all the buttons to hear them one last time

When we did After Hours, they didn't even kick people out of the park for not having a lanyard. They weren't allowed in ride lines, but we still saw people walking around trying to get on rides only to be turned away. I think that extra hour given for the Halloween parties to get people out of the park will be nice.
