"Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

[kat_lh]

For 2017, there was a Party on October 9th, Columbus Day - Monday Holiday.
October 2017 Dates
October 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29 & 31

My mistake. I had the wrong year pulled up. So Columbus Day week, they typically do Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday?

Yes. That’s been the scheduling for that Holiday week these past few years.

Thanks! I think the time change has messed with my abilities to make sense of things this morning!

Our dates are 10/30-11/4. So excited for Halloween at WDW.

Okay I keep seeing people book so dh and I booked 10/30-11/6 lol. We will be at all star sports and we’ve never stayed there before but $115/night is sooo cheap!! Hoping we can do the half marathon and Halloween party during our trip! Plus my birthday is November 1 so it’ll be great!

Anyone know why undercover tourist is projecting Halloween week as mostly 4/10 for crowds?

 

[Mollymovacca]

Fingers crossed for a Sept 6th party to celebrate our 28th anniversary!!

Eeekkkk!!!! That’s my planned date as well!!!! Fingers crossed for us!!!

We've been a couple of times and it just isn't that busy of a time. The Wine and Dine race may change that a bit though from what the average usually is.

Oh okay. I was just confused because I kept hearing how busy October has gotten.

Is one party enough? I’m wondering if we want to do two instead of just one.

I just finished making my ADRs for my Sept trip. I'll be at WDW from 9/8-9/14. For the nights of 9/8, 9/9, 9/11, and 9/14, there are no Dinner reservations to be made in the Magic Kingdom. Even the hours of operation for the restaurants only show Breakfast and Lunch. I'm thinking these could be some MNSSHP dates!

Checking the MK park hours for August and September (currently posted up through September 8th) you should be able to tell when the party dates are - Whenever MK is scheduled to close at 6:00. Currently that would suggest the parties will be:

August 17, 21, 24, 28, 31
September 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18

Not sure why there are four 6:00 PM closings Sept. 6-9th. Maybe another event? Is Night of Joy returning?

I thought I saw speculation somewhere that Sept 7 & 8th could be Night of Joy

If you look at the MK Park hours for the week 8/20-8/24 The 21st and the 24th the MK closes at 6pm maybe those are Party nights. We are looking for early September and the Park hours are changing to 6pm for some nights. I might think those are Party Nights. Good Luck

I'm seeing conflicting info online that NoJ might be cancelled FOR 2018. NOJ was at WWOS last year. If they do WWOS again it shouldn't impact MK hours.

I'm in! Coming down alone for a "me" week, so I'm flexible on the MNSSHP, but I'm hoping for Sept. 9. Thinking maybe a Sunday night will be good?

Chances of there being an 11/1 party this year? Need to book our resort dates ASAP and can do either 10/31 or 11/1, but would prefer 11/1!

I’m in the same boat! We recently extended our trip to arrive on 10/30 just in case halloween is the last party, but I’m impatiently waiting for the official release. The last few years it’s been about 50/50 for an 11/1 Party....
