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

[Soph&HanMom]

What time did you get into the seven dwarves line? Thanks!

Went through bypass at 4:50. Bought a pin then straight to 7 dwarves. They brought us into the tent about 5:30 maybe. Dwarves came out promptly at 6:15. I was able to
Get to the meet and greet in the first set

Oogie boogie buckets are out! They are at the same popcorn stand with the pumpkin Mickey bucket.

Oh nice! I was hoping to get one of those. I hope they have some when I'm there in three weeks.

 

[WIll C]

Yup. Before this I hadn't known they sold party and DAH tickets at a discount.

Are they cheaper than tickets with the AP discount? I didn't know they had them either.

The one I bought this year just showed up on my list of tickets, no e-mail or anything. I have an active AP so I suspect that's the reason.

I got my party tickets through an agent, no options but email. I called Disney to have them added to my magic bands and the cm said it wasn't possable, that all the party tickets were only email tickets and nothing could be done. Asked here ,went on the disney ap and uploaded it myself in like 2 minutes. So , there is a lot of misinformation out there, and it depends how much experiance the cm has that you call. Point of the post is dont believe everything thats said to you , even if it is an official Disney rep saying it!

What? Mine are in MDE as well.. that's so wierd

The ticket for my night was $2.93 less from UT than Disney direct with an AP. I used discounted Disney gift cards so I came out ahead. I also like having the flexibility to work with Disney if an issue comes up. I know tickets are "non-refundable" and "non-transferable," but if you get the right CM anything is possible. I bet I could easily change my night or go from MNSSHP to MVMCP with what I already paid if need be.

Good to know. I might go that route if I come again or I can get the wife to deal with October crowds and heat.

Apologies if this has already been covered - for those that have attended a party, did you ride PoC around the start of the party (7ish)? If so, how was the line? Or, what time did you ride it with little wait time? Trying to put together an itinerary...

We just rode PoC at 7:10 today. It was a 15 minute wait.

Awesome, thanks! Have fun tonight!

What time can you buy them?

 

[bjakmom]

9:40 and I'm checking the wait times - crazy great (low) wait times!! Hoping these times are true in the park for tonight's party-goers!

Yup! And UCT has a 90 day refund policy too and if you get hit with inclement weather I'm not positive how Disney will help you considering you didn't purchase directly from them. Need more data on this. Also thought Sam's Club sold Party tickets.

UPDATE: Sam's does have the party tickets, all of the dates are available to purchase Adult Gate price with Tax $84.14, Sam's $77 8/27/19 party. prices go up accordingly.

Excellent point! Not sure how that would work in the event of inclement weather.

I also checked Sam's and it was way overpriced in comparison. I posted this in a different thread on the budget board last week:

Disney direct has the night I want with AP/DVC discount for $106.50 (At least 10% GC savings brings it to $95.85-ish)
UT has it for $103.67 (3x travel on CSR, redeemed towards travel brings it to $99-ish)
Sam's has it for $110.33 (I have no discounted WM GCs)

Buddy, you are always working it! Crunch those numbers $$$$$

Night all, it's Friday Family Night! Look forward to see all the reports and reviews!

Just looking on the MDEx map.

So, per Kenny's FB page this is who they are using at tonight's party as Moana. This one is really upsetting to me It feels like Disney is not even trying anymore.

My comment was definitely how bad the MNSSHP dessert party's allergy plate was for my son who has allergies to peanut/tree nuts and shellfish. If I understood the server coordinator person correctly she said it was gluten free also - it seemed to be a standard allergy plate so I'm betting it was dairy free and everything free but I definitely do not know that as a fact.



See my previous comment - my son has similar allergies - not to food coloring however. What did he receive at the MNSSHP dessert party in the past? Just curious! This was a plate of disgusting desserts. Our only previous dessert party experience was the Jingle Bam party and he got a box of desserts that were amazing - wasn't plated but in a box. He was told he could also eat some items off the buffet but at this party - even after asking twice - they wouldn't send a chef out and the coordinator said no - they wouldn't tell us if anything like the savory food was safe (it was some sort of cheeseburger eggroll or something - I honestly cannot remember). He can eat "made in a facility" just not "may contain." I've eaten a lot of gluten free foods as well and the stuff on this plate was just SO bad. I plan to email them about it because they need to change it up or just let people know they cannot provide an edible allergy plate. Disney is generally excellent with this - he has never been given something this inedible. One person with us said the chocolate cupcakes tasted like someone tried to make cornbread and took a wrong turn...lol! The plate had about 4-5 little chocolate cupcakes with a dollop of icing, some sliced pound cake - like 3 slices - that was lemon I think (the only halfway edible thing but who wants that much of the same thing? ), 2 chocolate covered strawberries, and I cannot remember the other thing.

Thank you for posting this, I have cancelled my reservation because this is unacceptable...my son is peanut/tree nut and I won't pay that much money for something that isn't edible.

She looks like a guest wearing a costume. I wouldn’t even know the costume was Moana unless she told me. Terrible!
