"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

[agavegirl1]

If you were to choose a Fireworks Dessert Party vs The Cruella Parade viewing event, which would you pick? I can only do one . This is my only party and I have never been before.

I would imagine you will get varying opinions on this, and it really depends on your priorities for the party and what ages your party consists of.

For me personally, I say neither lol. But this year especially, I think there is value in the Fireworks Dessert Party with Plaza view because of the new projections associated with the fireworks and the probably uptick of crowds in the Hub. I hypocritically have it booked for my family so far, but am all but leaning towards cancelling it, and will just adjust accordingly if we don't get the spot we typically get. But I've been to a fair number of parties/trips now and confident in my improvisation skills

I have a question and hope somebody can help if I have a regular parkticket and a ticket for the party , can I make fp reservations with both ? So technically having 6 FPS ? I’m sorry if this has been answered , I read through the first posts and couldn’t find it !also are these tickets non refundable ?

You can only make three for that day, then add an additional one after you use the three, just like any other day. No Fast passes are available during the party time, or after 6pm

I’m researching (way early) for a 2020 trip. I have never done MNSSHP. It would be me, a 20 something, my parents, and an almost 4 year old. A couple of questions -

1. 6 night/7 day vacation. Is it smart to replace a Park day with the Party? Any experience doing it with a younger child? Bedtime is 830. I think we would only make it to. The early parade, but she might surprise me.

2. I just realized I could line up a BBB 4 pm reservation, eat dinner at CRT, then do the Party. Plausible? The princess is likely doing BBB and I planned to combine it with CRT if I can. But then she would be dressed up for the party. I am a little concerned rides will be hard in that dress though, and she likes rides.

Thanks!

If you're talking about party tickets, they are non-refundable.

When we saw them at MVMCP, got in line at 6, waited 2 1/2 hrs to meet them. Longest line I ever stood in, but had promised it to my grandson. The exclusively character lines are insane.

WOW! I had no idea!

WOW! I had no idea!

It was the same or worse for most exclusive meet and greets. This was the only one I was willing to do and won't ever do it again.

When will the 2019 map and character info come out? I realize characters are typically the same every year but still interested to see....

Last year the maps were first available at MK ticket window the morning of the first party.

Disney does not announce which characters will be where. You have to wait for people at the first party to report back.

So the latest is that we ARE able to make FP+ between 4-7? We have in previous years but I just want to confirm with others for this year so far. My 30 days out is not until late August (staying offsite) and MNSSHP is my only Disney park visit this time.

I don’t think you can book fastpasses as late as 7:00 but someone else will report back

Oops, I meant 4-6. My mistake

We have booked for the first party FP at 3:30-4:30 Buzz, 4:30-5:30 Space Mt., 5:30-6:00 Haunted Mansion (the third FP ends at 6:00pm so just a half hour window).

question and pardon me if I'm confused..... but if you are booking FP under your party ticket, wouldnt it only be available on 30 days out and wouldnt it only start at 4 pm? We are not getting a park ticket for our party day so I thought I would have to wait until 30 days out to book my FP under the party ticket.

If you have an onsite resort stay, it's 60 days out. Early entry is usually around 4pm, so you can schedule FP for 3:30, 4:30, 5:30.

I have an onsite stay but it's only for 2 of the 3 of us - we have a friend joining for the party. Can I still make FP for all 3 of us at 60 days out

Just bought our MNSSHP tickets for August 20th, so it looks like it's time to catch up on this thread! So excited-it's our favorite way to experience the Magic Kingdom.

It depends on how early you want to get into MK and how much the cost difference is. Some people will add an additional park day if it costs $10-$20 just to get in before 4pm.

Personally if I had a four year old, I would do BBB & CRT on a non party night. I would set the appointment as early as possible within her schedule and make 4-5pm dinner reservations. She will have all day and night to be a princess. When she goes down for a nap remove her gown.

She can always wear her dress during the Halloween party to get more out of it. This is assuming you're doing more than one day at MK.
