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

[FoxC63]

I hope she’s there pass midnight- we plan to watch the parade and hit up the ToT lines at Monsters after the parade. What time does the second parade end? You think we could go against the exiting crowd and make it back to Monsters before midnight?

11:15 BTY Parade about 20 minutes but it won't arrive until 11:30 ? so 11:30-11:50 to watch the parade from the flagpole, leaves you 10 minutes. RUN!!!!

So cute! I hope you get your Cruella pictures, so you can continue your trend!!!

Thank you! I don’t think I would have booked the Cruella party if it wasn’t for that Lol! We decided on 101 Dalmatians a few months ago after our daughter watched it. Wish I would have been following this better when the price glitch happened. I was starting to plot how I was going to find her at the party when I found the add-on advertised. So yes Disney take my money!!!

Love the shares! Absolutely adorable! You've got one Beautiful Family

Thank you so much!!!

We are attending MNSSHP late October. We want to focus on T/T and special effects rides early in the evening. We plan to see the fireworks, 2nd parade, and view the last castle show. Meeting characters is not a priority. Would you recommend booking the dessert party for a better fireworks view, or would you say it is not really necessary. I am not really interested in staking out a spot an hour early. Do other people designate someone to save a spot for the group, or is that generally frowned upon? If we did the dessert party, can you bring drinks and snacks to the Garden Plaza viewing area? Realistically, what kind of view does one have if you walk into the fireworks area ( not the preferred party view area)15-20 minutes before it starts? Do you need to be standing near the hub? Or does anywhere on main street suffice? Thank you in advance.

Precious photos! Where did you get your DD’s 1st Snow White dress? We are bringing our granddaughter to WDW in Dec and I want to dress her up!

The only free food is the candy. You'll have to pay for everything else including beverages.

I finally found a good site on google for info. I must’ve gotten these confused with other after hour events. I at least thought you get free ice creams and drinks. If all you get is hot chocolate which I don’t drink or cookies which I’m not to fond of prebaked goodies then I’ll choose the unlimited supply of candy. I have 2 huge recyclable tote bags that if filled will be well worth the money.

In going for my birthday, I plan to dress like Cinderella and hopefully get a pic with her.

Last year I disneybounded as Cinderella at the first party, so I wanted a picture with her. At 6:30 pm I went to Princess Fairytale Hall, which is where she meets guests on a regular day. You needed a party wristband to go inside. There was only one family ahead of me.

If you are entering the Magic Kingdom earlier, I think you can try for a Fastpass for the time period before the park closes to non-party guests. But I don't think the line would have been shorter.

We're going Sept 20th. So the adults and teenagers trick or treat too? Our oldest is 16 but he's 6'4 and looks older. We told him we'd do it with him so he wouldn't feel like he was to old.

Yes. Of course!

My husband is the main trick or treater in our family. That’s his favourite thing to do at the party. He goes off on his own while we do other things.

You'll be fine and we'll be right behind you! Uber all the way!!
Yes 4pm has been the historical time.

Sorry, I will add some parties were let in between 3:45-4pm

We were considering using Uber or Lyft for the party! Did they drop you off at the TTC or Contemporary? How did it work out for the ride home? Meaning, did you have to wait long for a ride? And where did they pick you up?

Thank you! We actually got that as a gift for her baby shower but I know that it came from Babies R Us. I’m sorry I know that doesn’t help you since they no longer exist. It’s kind of funny because that costume actually started our whole Disney Halloween trend Lol. Shop Disney has one on their website that looks very similar and is cute. I would suggest going to a Disney store if you can. That way you can feel it. I’ve always tried to make sure to get soft costumes for our daughter so she’ll be comfortable. Not sure if Florida gets too cold in December but I would also suggest maybe getting some leggings and a sweater to layer with just in case.

FYI, Uber or Lyft can only drop off and pick-up at the TTC. Many people will put their destination as CR and walk over for arrival, and also walk back over for pick-up.

Minnie Vans (if so inclined) drop off and pick-up directly at the MK bus plaza in front of the park.

I'm in my 50's and I love doing the trick or treating - many of the adults do it and no one pays attention to who is doing what honestly. I have a son around your son's age and he has always done it also. I don't know why I enjoy it so much - I end up bringing the candy home and taking it to work- haha!

You guys are braver than we are! We made the mistake of doing a party on our arrival day last time and then forcing the kids to get up for a RD the next morning. Let's just say there were zero smiles in any of our castle pics That's why we still haven't bought tickets yet, because we're still debating whether we should do the Labor Day party and just plan to leave around 10 or do the party on the 6th since we leave the next day and don't need to be up for anything other than breakfast at the resort.

My teens would lynch me if I make them RD any park the next day. I'm compromising. We can sleep in; eat a good breakfast; and arrive at Gatorland for 10 AM. The day of the party we'll sleep in; hang out at the resort; and head over to MK for 3/3:30 pm.

We booked dinner at WL, did DAH at the Mk on our arrival day and opened a park the next day. It was just me and my grandson (7) and I am certainly not young. At home, I can't move until I've had coffee and a half hour of quiet, but at Disney I never seem to get tired. Once I'm home, it takes me a week to recover though!

I know, right?!

Just relax.

All that means is when you go in the park, instead of walking down Main St., you'll be directed to the right and pass behind it.
There will be some loot stations, photo ops and you'll get your trick or treat bag there.

There'll be lots of CMs directing party goers in that direction. You won't get lost.
Don't let it get overwhelming. It's a ton of fun.

If you get into the party early, go through the Halloween bypass. Everyone gets a fairly big bag of candy to get them started. It might help settle your grandkids sweet tooth’s!

Agree with @Ohanaof3 - At the Bypass you'll each get pre-bagged threats along with your treat bag. Don't be shy, ask for two! We have done this successfully for years.

That line is a big old NOPE from me! I'm going to need to set expectations with my kiddos about that. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars for this one night to get $15 worth of candy. Luckily they are old enough to be reasoned with!

Darn straight! Thanks for the information about the Halloween bypass. I'll let them snag candy from there. My focus is on rides and the shows. We haven't been to a Disney park in 9 years!! I'm not about to spend the night in candy lines. That was ok (sort-of) when they were 6 and 11. Not now.

Thanks @kyomagi for posting the Exclusive 2019 MNSSHP pins!

View attachment 420147

The limited release and limited edition pins will be released in Big Top Souvenirs in the Storybook Circus area of Fantasyland. Available while supplies last.

Oh, I love these pumpkin pins. I'm not clear on this though. Do I have to purchase all 10/a set or can I just purchase one? It says mystery set.. does that mean I can purchase just one but it will be a surprise as to which one I get?

I'm glad to see this information. We are taking Uber from Cabana Bay Beach Resort and I thought they'd take us right to MK.

Can we take a bus from CR to MK? Would we be able to take a bus back to CR at midnight or so?

There's a lot of info on the transportation boards about using Uber or Lyft in WDW. I knew they didn't drop or pick up in MK, but I was curious to see what people's personal experiences were and if it was better to go to TTC or CR. I haven't seen an update lately on the construction in front of the TTC, which was a mess in May when we were last there. CR is the Contemporary Resort and literally a short walk to the gate of MK. They have a bag check on the path from CR to MK.

My suggestion is to load both apps on your phone and you can price a ride without booking one. I did this in May when we were there and there are TONS of drivers in the Lake Buena Vista area, just driving around on the main roads waiting for rides.

Most people utilize the walking path, which takes about 10 minutes. Otherwise, you'd use the monorail.

On the way to MK, it's quite a ride as it goes past all of the other monorail resorts and the TTC first. In the other direction, out of MK, CR is the first stop.

BTW, in re-reading my post in response to yours I totally just realized I read yours wrong - I was responding as if you were asking if they'd drop off at MK, not CR or TTC like you said. I should have my morning coffee before posting. Sorry about that!
