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

[SillySallySews]

I'm wondering the Halloween about resort mugs !! I have not seen word about them anywhere this year.

My daughter said something about these mugs last week and I went searching for old threads to see if we should even *hope* of seeing them on our trip, lol. From what I could find, they announced the mugs in early August last year. The first report of someone actually seeing them was August 29th. They were only at a handful of resorts for a few days, disappeared completely for a couple weeks, and came back mid September. Availability was pretty sketchy all season. It would make more sense if they’d just put them out with all the other Halloween merch, and make plenty of them available since the demand is obviously very high.

I am leaning towards cancelling Cruella's as the Garden View dessert party is definitely looking more appealing. Afterwords, let the people leave, head out towards Adventureland find a spot for the 2nd parade, and when the parade is over, trick or treating our way out of the park.

OK I give up.. What's ToT.. Only one I know is tower of terror in HS

Every time I read that as Tower of Terror and have to remind myself it's trick or treat in here! Glad I'm not the only one!

It's been a few years since we've been to the parties so I'm having to relearn all of this... some questions:
1. is there a headless horseman photo op? Where? Outside the park?
2. What is going on at the Monster's Inc Laugh floor? Is it just trick or treating? Can we see or meet the Monster's inc Characters? Or do we do that over at the Scream-O-Ween ball?
3. What time to the "overlays" on the rides start? Is it 7pm? Not sooner?
4. I've never seen Sally or Jack? Where do I go to line up and how early?
5. I don't have DVC or AP, so I still get in at 4pm at the earliest?
Thanks!

As much of a big deal I made about the bands, especially the Hocus Pocus ones, I'll be interested to see when they sell out. They only made 2,000.

I watched the livestream on YouTube and I liked the parade and fireworks. Kudos to the cast members who kept dancing while Mrs. Incredibles float was stalled -they were great! I do think the party looked crowded. We are going to the MVMCP on the first night 11/8 so I wanted see what a first night could look like... pretty much what I expected. The Cruella party did not look very appealing for $99 per person though I'm not sure if alcohol was included? The food choices looked meh - desserts always look good but I would not wanted to pay that much for desserts when we would really rather get ice cream. Thanks to all who shared their experiences here

That is my plan, too! Especially once I saw pics of all the specialty desserts.

I remember this. Guests were going to other resorts trying to get them. By the we got there they were sold out!

When I returned in mid Oct most resorts were sold out of the mugs but the Boardwalk Bakery had plenty.

For the person asking, I was at the dessert party last night. Mini amuck amuck cupcake (beware the black frosting that makes the cauldron - your lips and teeth will be green), mini Sally push pop, cup of Jack push pop ingredients, mini brownie pumpkin cheesecake, mini worms n dirt, slice of wedding cake, chocolate covered strawberries, etc.

So glad more information is coming out for the Halloween party.

Do you think they will keep the 3:45pm entrance time for the regular party tickets to come in? I won’t be going until October, so I’ll be waiting awhile. XD

Also with Photopass during the event, is all the photos only Halloween party related? I was wondering if the Floating Lantern photo opportunity is also available during the party or on regular days.

Can’t wait to read more posts from everyone’s trips coming soon.

So if you don’t do Cruella’s party for the reserved Parade viewing area ....where is a good place to watch 2nd parade???

Ok to answer some questions:

I have been two years in a row and i have yet to find the headless horseman photo op. Maybe someone can explain exactly where and when it is.

I asked about Halloween refillable mugs in yacht club quick service place. I was told they do not have them yet. She thought mid to late Sept.

Monsters inc: first you go through a trick or treat line. Then if you want you can sit down while they do a mini interactive show. (it’s like turtle talk with crush at epcot). You can ignore that and just leave. They give out candy again at the exit.

Hmmm, so now I’m thinking, do I want to bring Halloween mug from last year and see if they will re-activate it instead of giving me a regular mug with our dining plan. We will be there 8/28-9/3 so sounds like new Halloween mugs might not be available.

Are they giving out candy at Mickeys Philharmonic? Last year they had candy and you could sit and watch a movie.

The Headless Horseman shot is right outside the MK before you exit. That’s where we got our shot anyways. Not sure if there are other places for it.

What time do the overlays on rides start - before 7pm maybe??

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Decided to also cancel Cruella's. Just don't think it is worth the extra money from what I have seen so far.

We enjoy watching it in Frontierland.

Yes, same this year.
