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

[cab0ad]

Bought our tickets! Tues, Oct. 2 for us. We will be dressed like Wendy, Mabel, and Dipper from Gravity Falls.

Biggest priorities are the parade, Hallowishes, and stage show. Characters are not a huge priority. Maybe cruella if the line is small but we won't cry if it doesn't happen.

We want to try all of the special treats and do a lot of magic shots too. All of the rides with overlays. And my daughter has a mission to leave with a ton of candy (which we will probably end up giving out on Halloween).

Our party 2 years ago was a washout. Finally parade happened but 2nd was cancelled, and all the shows and fireworks were delayed over loud speaker. It was wet but we made the most of it and rode inside rides and still had a good time (we saw the characters we wanted early on). We had planned on watching both parades and fireworks. We left at 1130 after they kept saying delay delay delay. Finally on monorail out we saw fireworks around midnight. I talked to guest services over phone and they said I had to talk to GR in person for any assistance. First GR person basically kept trying to say sorry not sorry and was not the nicest (I'm very friendly and not abrasive so I don't know why she was dishing it out). I explained how others had received refund/alternate date tickets and I was just hoping for party tickets for another night so we could see the fireworks. She was adamant that since they went off at midnight they provided what they were supposed to. I said but we already left right before midnight after CMs said they'll probably be cancelled. Eventually she caved but said since I didn't have everyone's magic bands I couldn't receive anything. Came back later that day with everyone's individual bands and the next person was super nice and didn't give me any run around at all. She didn't look anything up and said even though it was not the policy they would gladly let us go to the next party to experience what we missed. We had plans that night so we came late, saw the fireworks and rode a couple of rides and left.

So just be nice and persistent and you'll typically get something if you have a rainout. I was grateful for what I got

Also for what it's worth, the main modererator on WDW said the plan is to have Vamperina at the Disney Jr Dance Party, so that's encouraging, though obviously unofficial.

It wouldn't be fun for those coming in at 4 and certainly wouldn't be fun for those coming in at 2. If someone is willing to stand in line at 2 until after 6 for a 60 second photo opp then they deserve to be first in line and maybe get an extra 20 seconds.

If it does work out that people at 2 start lining up I most likely just won’t wait in line for a picture. I wouldn’t put it past anyone to stand and wait that long.

I can't imagine anyone starting the lines that early, the Florida heat and humidity in Aug, Sept. & early Oct. are just too much even in the shade. If they start forming lines early it could be around 3:45-4pm. Last year DISers reported as soon as they got to certain character lines there were about 15-20 people already there. This could very well double especially if CM's aren't checking wristbands, which they normally do.

We just have to see what's being reported including if the wristband distributions locations inside the park are in fact releasing them at 4pm per their usual time.

The other odd ball question @OhioStateBuckeye brought up is with DVC entering at 2pm does this mean in costume? How early can adults enter Magic Kingdom? Many have regular park tickets plus party tickets.

We aren’t dvc but we added extra tickets so we will be among the ones in the park early, unless we decide to do a different park before the party. I could see us doing mk though so we can already be in the park.

Does Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear sign autographs? If he doesn't, does his line move a little faster? Debating whether or not to get a pic with him. Thanks!!!

He signed for us in 2016. We met him right after the fireworks and the line wasn’t long at all, maybe 20 minutes tops?

So excited I had to share! The night I’m doing the party solo I decided no costume, just a Halloween tee. But check out the ears I just found to go with it!! I’m in love!

 

[Haley R]

Totally OT but Dh and I saw Christopher Robin tonight and it was so cute!

Thank you my love! Love my new go go! Slightly off topic but doesn't this just make you laugh > !
Tickles me silly!

 

[Merlin_Jones64]

HA!! Oh yeah, been trying to figure out what they're doing. Kinda thought that when they're turning around in a circle it looks like they're washing their hair so were they singing in the shower...?? Thanks for clarifying that one for me

OMG, and I thought I needed help!

 

[amyadams1020]

Probably. Just call and ask, of the cast member says no hang up and get a different cast member and ask again. It can be random who will let you reschedule.

I finally called after work today and they were able to switch with no problem! They said as long as it want sold out we should be fine!

Going for a quick weekend trip 8/16-8/19 to visit my Best Friend. So tempting to get tickets for 8/17.

Best Friend, like as in a Disney character or a really good friend?

I'm wondering the same thing as we might choose to go a bit early for the party with regular tickets. I can't imagine that they would offer people to go early on party tickets and not allow them in wearing a costume though.
