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

[AngiTN]

Hey beautiful! Thanks for the report! I thought I saw a glimpse of you at Cruella's on the: VIDEO I posted! This is you right?!

Oh, look out! We got a famous DISer on board!

Can you settle something, is the parade viewing at the flag pole?
Thanks buddy!

Lol. Yep that's me
Viewing is at the flag pole
With that seat were stayed at our table.

 

[FoxC63]

No I've never tried it. Do you recommend it?

@nicky89 that's a clever idea! Some of the false eyelash adhesives are so strong you need to use a remover to get it off! Nathan, if you think about it women who wear false eyelashes sweat on their faces too and their lashes don't budge. I don't know what this super industrial product is called but I use this and it's okay. It comes in black or clear.

Hopefully others will chime in!

There are only TWO dessert parties being offered during MNSSHP
Terrace and Plaza
As for which will be more crowded Idk. Maybe some one else can chime in.

Actually what I was asking was if there is just the one Plaza garden dessert party does that mean the Plaza viewing area will be less crowded since there won't be the "after party" people there as well or will they just double the size of the one Plaza party.

I’ve been frequently checking to see if the Cruella’s party is still available when we are going (Halloween night) and just now when I checked it’s already sold out! Ahhh! I’m expecting MAJOR crowds being that it’s Halloween but I didn’t think this add-on would sell out so quickly. I know some will cancel, especially considering the reviews. I’m still on the fence but most likely won’t cancel just to get our photo with her. If only we picked some other movie for our family themed costumes

 

[Lsdolphin]

The wording on the Cruella party is very misleading it states that “reserved seating” will be provided for viewing the parade.
Electrifying Entertainment

Quick question, I know that you can buy merch in the bypass however can you get the AP merch there and the discount?

 

[FoxC63]

I'm going to my first ever MNSSHP on Sept 8th !! It will just be me and my husband. My tentative plan is as follows. Park arrival at 4pm. FP to meet Mickey and Minnie. Than line up for seven dwarfs. This is my number one thing I want to do. Hubby would like to ride space mountain, and we both want to do the haunted mansion, and pirates. We'd also like to meet Moana, the fab 5 in their costumes, the 100 acre wood gang if possible, see the parade, and also the fireworks. Hopefully, we can also squeeze in a quick dinner at Liberty Tree ( he loves their lobster roll ) TOT is not a must, and we would like some of the photo pass stops (headless horseman and hitch-hiking ghosts.) Am I being unreasonable in thinking we can do all of these things?

Yes. This is waay too much. Too many characters to fit in one night.

We have confirmation gates opened at 3:45, this could change to 4pm so I recommend you arrive no later than 3:30
List all of your FP's
Pick 4 characters and list them by priority.
Find out what time they start meeting and where they're located.
Pick 4 rides and list them by priority and if you want with or without overlays
Where do you plan on eating & how much time do you need.
Pick which parade you want to see and where
We know fireworks start at 10:15 but where do you plan on watching them?

Same with you @csusunshine and @yorkieteacher

@Crystal_Marie Also LTT only has the all-you-care-to-enjoy family style meal (turkey, pot roast, pork, etc) for dinner starting at 3:15pm. The lobster roll is only on the lunch menu where you pick individual entrees.

I think she meant Columbia Harbor House which closes at 8pm

Hi, I haven't read through the 179 pages of this thread, so please excuse me if these questions were already answered.

Will Tortuga Tavern be open for dinner up until 6:30PM on party nights? Or is it closed for food sales all afternoon, to be used as a wristband distribution center?

Also, will the Egg Roll Wagon be open up until 6:30PM on party nights? I've read that it's seasonal, but don't know when it's in season.

Compared with last year, what character meet and greets are new at the party this year? (It looks like mostly the same ones.)

My friend who doesn't have an annual pass would like to use her party ticket for her afternoon FPs before the party. Does she have to book all her other days of FPs on her regular multi-day ticket first, to ensure that she doesn't lose a day's allotment of FPs when she books her party FPs? Or does it matter what order they are booked?

Thank you in advance.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about Tortuga Tavern, have you looked on WDW website for your date?
Locations (2019 Info Will be Updated When Released)
Tortuga Tavern (Adventureland)
Mickey's PhilharMagic (Fantasyland)
Buzz Lightyear (Tomorrowland)

Egg Roll Wagon - Don't know about that one either.

Friends from Monster's, Inc. was listed as new characters but I have not seen any posts regarding their meet & Greet location or if they're roaming or just at the dance party.

As far as your last question, yes this I certainly would recommend. I believe most have done this and nothing has been posted about the Dreaded Emails.

Hope others chime in

One last thing, there's no need to read all the pages but the MAIN pages are kept up to date.

Has anyone tried the Lotso burger? Is it good?

I'm thinking of cancelling my ADR and snacking on party special snacks. They look much better than last year.

Help with our plan for Tuesday night! My family will be arriving to Coronado Springs around 3pm and will check in and head straight to MK for our first party. We are sooooo psyched since we can't come down in the fall. DD16 only wants to see Moana although I really wanted to see the 7 Dwarfs! We would prefer to see the first parade but I'm thinking that might be impossible. Would love to be back to our hotel between 11 and 12. I was trying to avoid an early morning on Wednesday but DD16 really wants to do Bon Voyage so we are squeezing that before our Keys to the Kingdom tour on Wednesday at 10am.

Arrive by 4 (hopefully depending on our flight!)
3:55 FP for Buzz
4:55 FP for Jungle Cruise
Line up for Moana (so I know this is going to already be long so we may change our mind on Jungle Cruise)
POC with overlay
9:15 Parade
Enter dessert party late for plaza fireworks viewing - will there be desserts left? Can we eat them after the fireworks?
10:45 Hocus Pocus

DD16 also wants to ToT. Ride the Tea Cup overlay. DH wants Space Mountain overlay.

As I typed that out, I'm thinking we may have no choice but to do the 2nd parade heading there after the dessert party. If that is the case, I'm thinking 8:30 Hocus Pocus.

Thanks for your help!

 

[FoxC63]

Seriously dying! I really want this popcorn bucket!

I'm sure it will be available in September as well as the Oogie Boogie pc bucket and the Jack sipper. If I had to guess the switch will take place on Friday, Sept 13th.

 

[FoxC63]

Wow, we leave in nine days! Still working on costumes too!

Arrival: 3:30
FP Meet Mickey and Minnie @ town square 3:40 -4:40 (hopefully hit this right off)
3 Characters - Seven dwarfs, Moana, Winnie and friends (do the meet together?)
4 rides Haunted Mansion, space Mountian, pirates, (with overlays) 7dmt (<- we have a FP for the next day so this one is not a must)
Food, Columbia Harbor House - hopefully mobile order, maybe 20 min to eat. I was also hoping to try the Maleficent cone at storybook treats.
Parade - either parade from any location is fine
Fireworks, I would like to see the projections. Last time I saw them, on a regular MK day I sat on some fake grass at a distance and could see everything just fine
We also would like to so the headless horseman. Magic shot and the HM magic shot
Thank you

I’m not good at itineraries but remember that most party stuff doesn’t start until 7:00 and from the time you exit the park it probably will take at least 30 minutes to get back to your hotel.

To get back to hotel by 11:00 assume exiting park by 10:30.

How long are you planning to stand around to hold spot for parade?

You want to do POC, Tea Cups, Space Mtn, Hocus Pocus, dessert party for fireworks and trick or treat. I don’t think it would be physically possible to cram that all in between 7:00 and 10:30. It takes time just to get from one spot to another. And the dwarfs line was 2 hours long by 6:30 so I don’t know how you would fit that in.

Maybe a more optimistic person will correct me.

 

[Best Aunt]

Don’t forget that Columbia Harbor House closes at 8:00.

Actually what I was asking was if there is just the one Plaza garden dessert party does that mean the Plaza viewing area will be less crowded since there won't be the "after party" people there as well or will they just double the size of the one Plaza party.

That's what I was asking a few posts back also. From HEA dessert party experience, the garden was definitely more "full" feeling when they added the second dessert party compared to when they only had one. I was hoping that if there's only one Halloween dessert party that it won't be super full feeling.
I can't see how they could add more people to the actual dessert party because it's pretty full to begin with and I don't know how many extra people they can cram into the party area where the tables are. But knowing Disney and their habit of selling every inch of prime real estate...they would find a way if they could!
