Not that last year is necessarily an indicator for this year, but....merchandise is one of my biggest priorities :rotfl: and we are attending the October 25 party. To anyone who attended around that time last year....was most merch sold out by then or was there still a good selection (specifically, popcorn bucket (not oogie boogie, but the regular shaped halloween themed bucket), spirit jersey, coffee mug, ornament)?
 
Yeah, it's cotton. Thanks for asking! Fleece would have been unbearable, even for us.

I'm just so excited my 12 year old son is willing to wear it to complete the ensemble.

I'm making a Peter Pan cap next. Any tips on fabric? Let's face it, it might rain but I want it to maintain its shape, even if it gets wet.

The only fabric that I know of is outdoor canvas because it's treated. Just make sure to use a heavy duty needle, one that matches the weight of the fabric. You could also use felt and treat that fabric, google "Scotchgard Heavy Duty Water Shield Spray" or "KIWI Camp Dry Fabric Protector".

This is all so exciting! Please post more photos :love:
 
I'm thinking of just wearing a black tee shirt and capris and a Minnie mouse apron and Minnie mouse headband. My daughter said that I'm Disney bounding. Do you think this will look ok?

Sure. Some people wear costumes, some people wear the colors which match a character's outfit and call it Disneybounding, some people wear Halloween-themed shirts, and some people wear whatever they would wear to a theme park on a regular day.

My only concern would be that wearing all black will be hot if you start when the sun is still out.
 
I guess we're going to another MNSSHP! We have a resort "staycation" planned for August right before my son goes back to school. No parks, just lots of food and swimming. My mom decided to come with us though, was noticeably disappointed we didn't have park time planned, and is now getting MNHSSP tickets for her birthday - the first party! I know it'll be swamped with media and bloggers, but we're mostly going for the rides anyway. Already booked the dessert party too, so we don't have to fight for a good view of the new fireworks show.


Question - for those of you who have done the dessert party in the past - is it possible to get to say, Frontierland, to get a good spot for the second parade? I assume fireworks will end around 10:30ish which only gives us a half hour to make our way out of the crowded Main Street/Hub area and grab a seat.

Yes, absolutely. This is almost always what we do! Cut across the hub and go through Adventureland. We like the spots near the splash exit, across from Peco Bills. Enjoy!

:dancer:According to physics, you'll be just fine in black! Check out this article "Physics explains why dark clothes are better than white in summer" Through most of your life, you may have heard the importance of wearing lighter-colored shirts when outdoors; physics says otherwise....

I have a gluten allergy and they provide me with a nice assortment of treats, which they bring out on a separate plate (so it’s not out with the other desserts being contaminated :)). I assume it would be the same for other allergies, just with different items. This was what they gave me when we went in July

That was a nice assortment of goodies! I don't have a gluten allergy per se....but I do have gluten intolerance, which basically means I eat it but suffer, lol!

A great article...and that story was from a tv station out of my college town :)
 
I bought our tickets today for 8/20/19 party. A little nervous as it's the 2nd party. I'll be watching for reports after the first party for character meets and locations.

My girls and I will be attending the 8/20 party also. I took my oldest when she was about 19months old and she fell asleep right before the parade started. We got a pic with the 7 Dwarves and I was pregnant with my 2nd so it's a great memory.
 
We've watched a few times in Liberty Square, right in front of Liberty Square Market (that side of the street) where the parade takes the curve toward main street. It's been a great place to watch from because you get to see the parade coming straight toward you and then as they make the turn - characters have been pretty interactive there in my experience too. I think we got there about 45 minutes before the parade and were able to get front-row seats. We usually grab a snack/treat and hang there until the parade starts.

This is exactly what we do! We've also always had awesome interactions with the characters in this spot.
 
This is my first time going to the MNSSHP and I was hoping someone could help me. I'm a DVC member so I'm looking to use the membership discount for the Halloween party. My problems is that I want to take advantage of making FP+ reservations from the 4-6PM time period before the party. If I buy the tickets with the DVC discount, I won't get the tickets til I pick them up from will call. Do they send me a code or something so I can enter into MDE so i can use the FP+ or I can't make any FP+ until I actually pick up the hard copy of the ticket at will call? If I have to wait til i pick them up I might just pay the regular price to be able to use the FP+. A second question I just thought of, since DVC members are able to get in at 2PM now, does that mean I can make FP+ reservations starting at 2?
 
Can somebody please jog my memory? I *think* I recall reading that in past years, the Halloween Fireworks dessert parties served treats that were otherwise for purchase throughout the park during the party...am I misremembering, or was this ever “a thing”?

If you purchase through the Disney site while logged in so that it recognizes your DVC credentials, it should automatically link to your MDE once you’ve completed the payment. If there are any issues with that not happening, you can link them on your own as well and make fast passes in advance.

I apologize, but I don’t know the answer to your question regarding making fast passes at 2.
