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

[DisneyMaleficent50]

Grandson is going to disneybound as Stitch. So I'm trying to find Lilo fabric to make a disneybound Lilo dress. My DH is going to wear a Hawaiian shirt.

Wish I had some ideas where you could find a black cape. If you could find/make just the headpiece, maybe just dressing in black? Good luck with it.

Hot topic has a very comfy lilo dress

Thank you for this report! Did the amount of allergy-free-candy you got seem to relate at all to the number of tokens you collected? Or, do you think they just give a standard number of treats no matter how many allergy tokens you have? Only six treats at the Liberty Square Ticket office doesn't seem like much. Did you get more than that at Town Hall? We don't expect a full bag of allergy-friendly candy, but we would definitely like more than a dozen items. Did they have the cookies this year? Thanks again for your report!

I collected 2 allergy tokens and redeemed them at town hall. This is what i got. My DD has 2 peanut allergies in her class so when i send in goodie bags i will use this for those kids.

I bounded last year as Lilo and got a pattern from google for the white flowers on her dress and cut them out of felt and just used fabric glue to place them on a reddish top

Friday 8/31

Okay. Wow that's crazy that Anastasia and Drizella would sign their autographs for a little girl and not yours and at the same party. It certainly causes confusion!

Were there many people around at the time?

Hi guys

Never attended a mnsshp previously-dh is not totally into it;
But looking forward to fireworks and parade.
I'm excited for the disney junior party!!

Couple of questions (I have not read through the whole thread)

We will be in wdw Sept 26-Oct 3rd;
Would 10/2 be a reasonable night to attend?
Is there disabled fireworks viewing as per 'usual'?
Is das still actively implemented?
Are crowds generally lower than late night emh?

Thanks in advance for your time dissers.

I don’t think they have DAS at the party bc there are no fast passes at the party.

Question for those that have been this year: will the Space Mountain Halloween themed overlay start at 7 when the party officially starts, or will it happen any earlier? I ask in case it would benefit me to get a FP+ for Space Mountain before the party officially starts or if I'll just need to wait for it after 7. Thanks!

We rode at 6:30 last Friday and overlay hadn't started yet.

The latest that you can get FP’s on Party days would have the FP’s ending at 6. I’ve heard of people allowing other groups in line to go ahead of them so that they would ride just after 7. If riding SM with the overlay is important, I’d ride it after 7.

 

[FoxC63]

Yup. We were really pleased that the line was short & he had a break during that time.

You attended Friday, August 31st party correct? And you're referring to Stitch? Do you remember what time he took a break?

 

[FoxC63]

I decided to ditch the costume as the dress I was going to wear is far to long and I never got around to try and fix it. My SIL offered to help, but time has just ran away from me. I've been looking at the Dress Shop online though, and I really like the Monsters Inc dress, so if I like it when I try it on (assuming they have it in when we go to DS after we arrive tomorrow) I'm considering wearing that for the party.

If it hadn't been for the heat, I'd be tempted to wear my national dress from Norway (I'm Norwegian) and say I was dressing up as Anna from Frozen. But it's way too warm to wear that, not to mention it would take up a lot of room and it's too valuable to use as a costume. It would be cool though (picture attached)

That's gorgeous! I would not be wearing that as a costume at WDW.

 

[FoxC63]

Wow ! Looking at crowds in the background that was MUCH less than the first night ! Guess need to wait until after all the schools go back and summer vacations are over.

Completely different experience. Don't give up on the the party just yet, you can have an amazing time.

I want to say around 8:30. We were very close to the front of the line with maybe 1-3 groups in front of us.

SM stopped boarding at 6:50 to add overlay took 5 minutes. Post #7887

Okay here is my very long party review from Friday 8/31. We walk very slow.
505 bus arrived at MK
515 thru security and turnstiles with party bands. Hardly any wait.
520 Sorcerer's Orange bird card. Person was in front of the firehouse handing them out.
525-543 Emporium for party shirts and ornament. Sent to hotel.
550 did bypass and got starter bag of candy and some pics.
6-605 Auntie gravities for candy corn milkshake. This is a lot of sugar. To us it had faint candy corn taste.
Headed over to tables that face the tea cups.
625-635 rain, pouring rain
640 yup i was that person that had to start the character line. 1st in line for the queen of hearts and tweedles. They came out at 702.
645 ToT line opened in cosmic rays. Tag teamed that.
650-702 tag teamed dumbo popcorn cart for Oggie Boggie bucket. 2nd family had theirs at 652 from castle cart
706 finished m&g with queen of hearts. Yes we took 4 minutes but the tweedles wouldn't behave....
709 picture with cruella in front of pooh ride. No autographs.
710-713 storybook treats for HH clip/straw
714-718 ToT pinocchio's long but never stopped moving.
719-732 memento morie for HM shirt sent to hotel
734-740 HM lantern photopass
741 DD played on the ghost custodial crew made on the ground. Very cute
743 HM Madam ghost leaving and posed for picture(in line for magic shot)
741-746 hatbox ghost magic shot
748 HM madam returning and posed for pic with DD
749-833 Frontier trading post for pins. Checkout line was 10 minutes. So many duplicates of the mystery set
835-840 golden outpost for cider slush and caramel pretzel. Both were very good. Took a 10 minute break to eat.
850-900 ToT at Tortuga tavern. Then headed for main street.
905 ordered food from Casey's. Left one person there to collect order. And headed towards exit but just didn't make it. It was a hardship but i had to stop and wait for the headless horseman's ride....(sarcasm)
915 headless horseman's ride on main street. He no longer turns around at the gate he just rides straight out.
918 Headless horseman magic shot. There were 2 photographers and only 1 family when we arrived. SCORE!
walked back in mickey m&g side and found a front row parade spot in front of town hall. No more than 2 deep anywhere around.
938-953 parade on main street. We ate while we waited. Creeper crew showed up around 920.....
954-958 exchanged the 2 allergy tokens i had. Picture posted on page 414.
959-1003 photographers just returning to main street. Got 2 magic shots. Ballroom ghosts and jack o lantern.
Hit a snag here as i headed back to Ariel ride for skeleton dance magic shot. According to chandler it has been pulled due to guest feedback for improvements. Hoping to return for october party. Don't shot the messenger.
1015-1027 fireworks in fantasy land. We were completely surrounded with them going off. It was great. Best fireworks ever.
1028 ToT ariel grotto, no one else there
1029-1033 pirate goofy m&g
1035-1037 ToT train station short line
1050-1136:step sisters photo with DD. Asked but told no autographs. Philharmagic ToT 2 stops inside. Icobod crane and the headless horseman movie just ending as we walked thru. Went thru a second time and stopped in theater because the skeleton dance cartoon was just starting. We watched the whole cartoon before leaving.
ToT at cosmic rays. We did this line 2xs. Then headed to carousel of progress ToT stop. Lotso was just dancing his way out on break and gave up a wave. 2 families in his line. Next up was 2 trips on the monsters inc ToT trail. This had 2 candy stops. We had no wait in ToT lines after our 1037 stop.....
1137-1143 elvis stitch. The line closed while we were in it probably 1140ish. Don't know if it reopened.
1149-1159 Emporium for yet more merchandise that we decided we did need....
12-1205 cauldron magic shot on main street. I was told they would be out till 1am.
1205-1223 flew over to catch the last hocus pocus show that had just started. Not too crowded.
1225-1250 took an AC break in Casey's. Only one other table occupied.
1255-108 waited at bus stop for bus. As we walked up one pulled out.
122 arrived at our resort.
For our candy haul. We were 2 adults and 1 child. I listed all the stops. I do watch to see which cast member are being generous and chat with them. You usually get an extra handful especially when its kate and no one behind you. We left with enough candy to fill 8 gallon zipper bags. I have sorted it now to make classroom goodie bags for Halloween. Sorry i am not counting it! Gallon bags in the back, quart bags in the front

Not really any more than usual. No one else waiting. It was right by the carousel
