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

My usually timid daughter LOVES the grave diggers but I could see how that could have gone either way.

I purchased tickets for the party 8/24. I have not received tickets in the regular mail. I do still have the confirmation email with the barcode though.

When you bought them did you select to have them mailed to you?

Space Mountain isn't different for the party.

I thought it was suppose to be this year or is it for the whole Halloween time???

From DisneyParksBlog:
On Space Mountain, explorers will hurtle through deep space as a new soundtrack and special effects transform the adventure. Can Space Mountain seriously get any better? #favorite

Does the Haunted Mansion have crazy wait times during the parties? I'm waiting to see how party ticket fast passes work out for people, but if it seems to be working I'll grab two and I'm debating between BTM, Haunted Mansion, and Jungle Cruise. Thanks!

I have found it to be mostly a walk on during parties. Haunted Mansion in Disneyland on the other hand is crazy lines. You should be good I think.

I’ve had the opposite experience. HM gets extra “spooky” during the party, with the ghosts on the lawn, photo opps and CMs extra made up. We’ve always encountered a decent wait during parties. In fact, at our second party last year (which was a sellout), the line stretched past Momento Mori all night and we never did get on it.
However, if you use a FP @hswillia07, you miss all that.

Good to know that others have experienced lines. If I remember correctly when I went it was almost 5 years ago or maybe longer and there was nothing special about Haunted Mansion at all at that time and we just walked on. I am glad they are doing more to it because it should be one of the major highlights of any Halloween

Is rider swap available during the party?

Thanks for the feedback guys! This is our shortest trip ever with 4 park days + the party and there are just too many rides, not enough time and not enough fast passes! lol

I'll be going to my first MNSSHP on September 7 and I can't wait. We did MVMCP for the first time last year and will go again this year. I'm curious to see how the two parties compare.

Is rider swap available during the party?

Yes and only between 4pm - 6pm. Please note this program recently changed, see:
https://wdwuntangled.com/rider-switch/

What isn't guaranteed is the grace period on FP's during party nights. For example, on a normal park day if you have a FP scheduled for 3:30-4:30 you could arrive 5 minutes early or 15 minutes late and still be able to ride. FP's booked on party tickets are not guaranteed. It is up to the ride CM period. This has been if effect for a few years. I think they try to assess the lines with hopes of getting day guests out of the park as soon as possible.

Woof! Five years is a long time, welcome back! A lot has changed since then. Mad Tea Party has always been a walk on but with the new enhancements I'm wondering if this will change. I cannot imagine it lasting throughout the night but you never know.

Correct

Most of us have been able to secure FP with our party ticket.

Interesting...so you have been able to get fast passes for what times? 4-7? And you don’t have a day ticket?

 

[Momma_Lanier]

What fastpasses should we book from 4-6 on our MNSSHP ticket? We have 7DMT and PPF on our 2 MK days and on the 3rd, we’re doing EMM. Does it need to be somewhere near Moana? She is the only high priority character for us. I thought about doing Mickey or the princesses? What’s everyone’s thoughts? Oh and our children are small so won’t be doing any mountains!

We do not have park tickets at all for this trip, only the party. My FPs are booked from 3:30-6:00 so I was able to secure three.

My children will be 7 and 2 and I decided to book two FP that typically aren't open during the party. We have Enchanted Tales with Belle and Jungle Cruise as well as Buzz Lightyear.
