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

[PolyRob]

I can’t find it searching Halloween, magic band, or putting the sku in. Wonder if they took it down or if it sold out? Or was it in parks only like everything else I would want to buy

I couldn't either. Tried yesterday and today. I think it is really cute and wish it gets added to the upgraded resort MB options!

Would you mind sharing which magic shots were available in the bypass when you went? All we were able to do last year prior to 7pm were the shots with the frames and props...not magic shots. I am wondering whether that would change if I knew what to ask for .

All we’ve ever received in the bypass were the photos with props as well. The true party “magic shots” don’t start until 7 and I don’t recall any of them being located in the bypass.

That’s what I thought too, but I think I misunderstood PP’s post and got excited . Thank you for confirming

Question about “tag-teaming”. Do you all find it rude if someone is sitting in the front row on the parade route and obviously holding two other spots with bags/sweaters, etc.? We have Cruella’s booked but the more I think about it, the less I think the kiddo is going to last until midnight after the second parade, so I’m thinking of just sacrificing some party time to hold spots in Frontierland starting about 45 minutes before the parade and let the hubster roam with kidlet until about ten minutes beforehand. We’ve always done the bypass trick but I don’t want to rely on it, and with how packed these parties are getting, I would assume it will be near impossible to depend on that strategy this year. Would you all feel this was acceptable or is it not cool to hold multiple front row spots while others do rides or candy runs?

I don't know what's going on with this MagicBand. It very well could have sold out just like the Haunted Mansion Pins I first posted: HERE They came back in stock as seen: HERE . It could have also been the price of the MagicBand, I've never seen a discount on a new band before. Sorry I can't help you.

Hopefully we'll receive three MagicBands like MVMCP.

I think it's perfectly acceptable.

I did not. Something to consider tomorrow during operating hours!

I'm waiting to see what all my options are on the bands before I do anything! I don't care the cost I care about the design.

Excellent point!

Too bad about Lotso if rumors are true it just means we loose yet another Villain. Cruella being the other, now you have to pay to see her.

A new Snow White Open Edition MagicBand featuring the Evil Queen on one side and her as the Old Hag on the other is now out at select locations in Walt Disney World.
Me likes this one a lot!

Last year's LE MNSSHP MB was chocolate scented! I would die if they brought it back!

Chocolate scented MBs! What??? I need it!

Yes!!! I believe it was this one. TheTimTracker talked about it in one of his Halloween Party vlogs!

It was the box that smelled like chocolate, the band itself glows in the dark and it was in 2017.

Speaking of MagicBands and 2017, Disney released a surprise second LE MNSSHP band on Friday, Oct 13, 2017.


This year there is a party on Friday, Sept 13, 2019, I wonder if those attending will get a surprise from Disney!

Just a question, is there any way to see what the sytem looks like before your fast pass window opens? I dont want to have to figure it out on the fly.

I had watched a few vids like the touring plans one to see a basic layout of how it works, but I found this one super super helpful because I already had a list of what FP+ I wanted to book and a rough window of when and was nervous about how to go about that, and rather than other videos where they are just sort of pretending to book FP+ to show how it works, she is actually booking them so has that sense of urgency that I knew I would have the bookings start about 4 minutes in.

This is a great video for newbies!

My FP booking window is opening soon. We won't have a park ticket that day so we won't arrive until 4. This is an adult girls trip and we all want to ride things that we often have to miss out on because our children aren't tall enough. None of us have attended the party before so it's hard to know what to prioritize for FP. We won't do any meet and greets or TOT. We are focusing on rides, photo ops, parade, and fireworks. What would you get as far as FP's? Seven dwarf's mine train for sure but what else? Splash Mountain? BTMRR? Space Mountain?

In your case I would do SDMT, Splash, and BTMRR FPs, then do Space during it since there is an overlay. Nothing spectacular, but still enough to get me to do it then and choose the others for my FPs.

Just a heads up... I saw the new Halloween MagicBand pop up under my MagicBand upgrades for $15.

I have seen you ask about tag-teaming a couple of times now. You should have realized by now, that everyone has a different opinion on holding spots or reserving spots for people that don't feel like they need to wait in lines/wait for a good viewing spot with everyone else. We have even gone so far as to link Disney's official policy on these things.

In my opinion, keep everyone together. That way you can all enjoy your vacation time together. That way no one can edge in on the spot that you are trying to claim.
