"Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

[smitch425]

Wow! Glad I got room only discount instead of package deal w/free dinning, according to Disney's website "Disney dining plan entitlements may not be redeemed for this event." re: Club Villain. FYI - we are light eaters and a party of 3pp. YMMV

In terms of a daily itinerary, I know what parks we'd like to visit and things we'd like to do, but I have yet to create a specific times itinerary: 9-9:15 Ride this, 9:15-9:30 Ride that. I'm still waiting for Disney to update the October calendar and confirm nighttime entertainment.
What I have done thus far is scour for specific information to help fill in the gaps when the parks get crowded and lines are long. Specific Pressed Pennies, Binder & sleeves for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards, Transportation Cards and Trading Pins. Making ADR's and reading updated menu reviews. Staying on top of refurbishments, closures/openings and transportation. Doing my daily exercise and sewing our costumes. I do have a "Take me to Disney" box that I'm slowly starting to fill: hand wipes, night light, travel size toiletries etc... but my favorite part of the day is spending time here with you.

I sincerely wish you all a very wonderful, magical trip!

None of the special dining events (CV, P&P cruise, fireworks dessert parties, etc) are dining plan eligible.

Ok, need some opinions. Should we do two Halloween parties? What is the benefit? We have never done two in one trip, but we love the parties. We have several non-park days during our trip so I was thinking of doing two back to back. We have the Halloween dessert party booked. I'm trying to decide between two Halloween parties or booking the Star Wars Dessert party when it comes open for late September. I'm not so sure we need that much dessert as that day is before our Halloween party night. Arg! Cannot decide! Another option is what we were originally doing, just the Halloween desert party on our party night, then the next day as a lounge day. Any opinions?

We also do two Halloween parties as it allows us to do everything we really want, but we are VERY into Halloween. No Halloween Dessert parties for us - we simply don't see the value monetarily or time, would prefer SW fireworks instead as the reviews are very positive on many websites. Instead of two HP why not try Club Villain at HS?

Bumming so hard. I so badly wanted to book Club Villain but the dates are impossible for my trip!

That is such a shame. We have done FD every year except in 2015 at Tokyo Disney Resort they didn't offer it, now that I see the benefit of not having the dinning plan I don't think we'll purchase it again.

I told myself that if they brought Club Villain back during my trip then I couldn't pass up such a fantastic experience. Just booked it for 10/15 at 5:15 p.m.!!!

I fervently believe 5:15pm is the best of both worlds. You get to eat a great dinner at a normal time, party with the Villains and afterwards view the Star Wars fireworks. And if Disney adds two Fantasmic! You might be able to see that as well. Win win!

I also forgot to add that I've started my count down - to my waist line!

LOL I am trying to lose a few lbs before my trip. I have a pretty hardcore fountain Pepsi addiction that I am trying to overcome. I know that just by cutting those out, I will lose weight. But it is just so hard! Sheetz fountain pepsi's make me so happy lol

Love the bubbly

Have you booked Minnie's Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine? DD9 and I have reservations there on September 12th (the first night of their Halloween menu). It sounds like something you may like!

Yes. We'll be spending one day at HS and that will be on Oct. 28, but because I purchased Cub Villain I will no longer keep Minnie's Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine reservation which is set for 3:10pm. I made this ADR prior to knowing the actual release of Club Villain which is more our speed! I thank you most kindly for your thoughtful suggestion°O°

 

[FoxC63]

Quick question - If I make an ADR and do not show up, Disney will charge $10 PER PERSON? Is this correct?

Yep

 

[FoxC63]

Excellent! Thanks for responding so quickly! Though we've never done that but I'm reading on another thread that it's just $10 and before I added my two cents I just wanted to be sure°O°

I am attending two parties with my daughter just so we have more time to enjoy everything that is offered! So one party will be enjoying the low lines for rides and watching the parades and fireworks, and then the next one we will focus on meeting the special characters they have. I am much less stressed about fitting everything in since I booked the second party

2 parties. We're going 10/30 & 10/31. For same reasons OP stated. Doing the HalloWishes Dessert Party on 10/31 too. Hope SW Dessert Party extended into October, but we did book Club Villain for 10/28 @ 8:30pm.

We have it booked for 10/27. Looking forward to it. We did in 2014 with the SW theme (no longer offered) & the character costumes were awesome. They've done other holidays/occasions since then but this is 1st for Halloween. Can't wait to see photos.

So you're doing two days at HS or are you park hopping for dinner?

Oh wow I would have loved the SW one! I am super excited about seeing the characters in their costumes and how the place will be decorated I will be sure to post here after my reservation...I will be there the first night so maybe people will be interested in how it goes!

I was second guessing my plans for my upcoming trip. Halloween Dine at H&V, 2 Halloween parties, and now Club Villain. I thought maybe it was overkill. But now that I see that I am not alone in this insanity, it makes me feel better...I am in good company lol
