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

Where is the magic mirror pic at??

Behind the carousel at the entrance to “New Fantasyland.” All locations and images can be seen on the: Halloween Magic Shot thread

Also there’s this new trend when people are recording fireworks they leave their light on to their phones which makes it insanely bright for people it’s probably one of the most self centered things I’ve ever seen...

First off theirs a 4K version on YouTube if your heart wishes to watch it again.

Secondly your light ruins the ambience and mood for everyone in attendance...why do that?

David Tubs recently wrote this article:
"The 10 Step Guide to Not Being a Jerk at WDW
Oddly recording devices and other obnoxious behaviors were not included. I think he made a mistake and posted a rough draft!

Sorry I was confusing it with the Christmas party as we’ve attended both the past two years. They used to do a Zero magic shot for the Christmas party by the Haunted Mansion this is it.

What a cute photo! I'm not sure why PhotoPass didn't include this magic shot considering Jack Skellington's leading role in the new firework show.

Still, anyone can add images to their photos by removing the background...

Not anyone.
You can... I can... but I've found that most simply... can't.

I forgot to ask but is it true that for meeting Mickey they are not using normal photopass photographers? A box camera thing is now in use? Heard this is a very recent change for his meet and greet in the theater.

So if anyone has had their photo taken with the camera box thingy, how did it go?

There's a thread for that and DISer's have posted images from their trip. The only one I know of is Tink that has the box at Town Square Theater. I've not heard anything about Mickey. Here's the link and I placed it on page 7 which is more up to date:

The MNSSHP Magic Shot post has been updated with a link to these offerings. You are only allowed to post 10 photos and I'm at my limit so I created a new DISNEY SPRINGS Halloween post, here's the direct link:

Yes, I did. Go: HERE

First off, I did a double take on your subsequent post there...was wondering why you were posting pics of CMs with Lotso lololol. Great costumes!

let me ask this...since you now know exactly what the party offered, would you still have booked it?

 

[lovethattink]

Okay - given a new traveling companion - we (well, just her!) need to do the allergy free trick-or-treating this year (avoiding tree nuts). I saw the post with the picture of the treats available. So - how's this work? You ask the allergy free bag, then collect tokens at the regular trails and then go for treat pick up someplace else? Do they give you more with more tokens - or do you just get a pre-set up bag? Like - does it matter how many regular treat stands she collects tokens from? I've been enough times that I don't spend much time with this activity normally as I don't need to gather a ton of candy - but my companion should experience it as it will be new to her.

Right. Get the blue bag. Trick or treat for a coin. Sometimes the coins are at the beginning of the line, sometimes at the candy. It seemed to vary each party. When you are done, go to a redemption center and they'll fill up a bag for you based on the allergies.

Also if allergies are specific to only one thing (for me peanuts and ingestion only), you can do a regular bag as well. I do both and offer the stuff I cannot eat to a family I encounter at my resort the next day.

Thanks! We had a fun night in our costumes!

Re: Cruella's... a few things worth noting
Last year my DIS friend and I had the desert party which offered both Fireworks & Parade, aka ParadeGate. This year I wanted my husband and son to experience the parade from this prospective. During the parade there were several characters out, someone just posted a few clips of them; Bowler Hat Guy, Queen of Hearts and on and on. Those characters never came over to the flag pole. We experienced this last year as well.

Unfortunately the food is just "okay" which is a shame given the price point. Many bloggers boasted about one specific item in the hot food category, behold the Butternut Squash Ravioli...

which was just okay. The other hot food items are deep fried and some covered in Tony's famous red sauce and it shouldn't be. The cold offerings like the desserts, cheese, meat, crackers & breads are typical, nothing to write home about.

Which bring us to the beverages. I'm allergic to alcohol, our 16 year old son obviously doesn't drink and there's no way my husband would walk around drunk so for us the price tag isn't just high, it's obnoxious. Sadly I have to agree with the reviews I've read and I read a lot, it's not worth the price.

If you want to meet Cruella, go to Fantasyland where's she roaming.
If you want something cold to drink get it at a quick serve.
And if you want more bang for your buck stay with the desert party. I enjoyed their offerings more.

Would I book this again for my family, no.
Neither would @Stratus22 - LINK

GADisneyDad14, thank you for the information!!! It is making me rethink my plans on photopass and instead go “Old School” with using my own camera for photo ops. But maybe do the party 1 day photopass offer.

FWIW: arrived at 2pm, went to Town Theater ask for J&S line. Magic band was scanned, took my picture with their iPad and was given my Halloween band. I am the 5th family in line.

Totally totally worth it just make sure you stop at EVERY photopass location and make your money worth of it.

At party. Just got in line for jack because we are having a little downpour at the moment. Rain is lasting a longer than the one earlier, which was only 5minures. There are about 6 groups in front of me. Got party band before they let you into line. They actually started Jack's line and giving out bands at 2 ( passholder entry time)

Sorry if this is a repeat question but is there a certain time that the halloween overlays (PotC, Tea Cups & SpcMtn) begin on the party nights? Right now I have FPs booked for 4:30 and 5:30, but I'm wondering if I need to wait until 7pm to see the overlays.

The reports are that the overlays start at 7.
