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

[asbyrneva]

Hi guys, I know I know I know everybody said to expect long lines but I was shocked at how long the lines for regular characters in Halloween garb were. Seems like they should spread them out more so you have more lines but shorter? We got in line for Cruella which didnt start early because to near the train (Not sure if that is accurate but what we were told) when we got out Minnie Donald and Daisy were over an hour!

Dear Disney please listen to kennythepirate add more rare characters, dont allow signing (or have the premade cards), and break up the meets so you don't meet 3 or 4 characters and make the line an hour and a half!

We left after hallow wishes (DS barely made it that long) but I thought with getting in before 4 on the AP we would have a jump on stuff. Yes DS had to trick or treat and the lines early in Storybook circus were so crazy we didnt even try.

How the heck do you guys get all the characters, watch the parades, trick or treat, do a photo or 3 see hocus pocus ???
We werent even in it for rides!

I did love the parade and DS loved loved loved Hocus Pocus ( are the sisters really singing???) So good!!!

Why no headless horseman in the first parade?? DH was disappointed since I told him he was riding and we were standing near the liberty bell. Not sure Ill do it again until DS is older and/or they really limit tickets I dont waste 3 hours waiting in lines for characters, and photos and treats.

Hope all of you that are headed have a great time!

The magic shot with the headless horseman is at MK entrance, just after MB turnstiles but before the tunnel according to other reports.

Also they were still there when we were exiting after the fireworks so may be a better shot to get on the way out (at least if you leave early like we did)

Not sure if anybody responded to this but we went by and Jack was already meeting about 5:30 I think.

Jack skelliton or sparrow?

90 minutes for the queen of hearts and the tweetles according to KtP...wtfudge?

 

[BattyKoda]

I thought it would be time linked - though I guess non party guests would have unto 7pm to be inside the park on a regular park ticket?

That's a good point, I would assume (ouch) that if they start taking the shot before 7, anyone in the park would be able to get it. For what it is worth, we were looking for specific magic shots (poison apple, for example) and when asking about magic shots and what time they started we got a different answer from each person we spoke with.

We wanted to meet the Tweedles but the lines were too long every time we checked, especially after waiting just about an hour for Eeyore and Friends.

The pavement was too wet.

Beast meets like normal and they have had a special dessert a blood orange cupcake.

Awesome! Thanks

Last question are Daisy Donald and Minnie one huge line or they have their own separate?

One line. You'll get Donald and daisy in one picture then Minnie in another.

OMG!!! What fun! Thank you for posting! Wait...I know that face! Hahaha! Great photos

Haha, small world indeed! I'm glad it answered a question for someone. I just wanted a photo with that cast member because he was so super friendly.

I think someone posted on an earlier thread there was individiually packaged peeps and they were green. Not sure of the flavor though?

Yes, they are individually packaged like last year. The ones DD got (she loved Peeps and went through this stop a number of times) were all green and I believe the flavor is apple. I might need to go sneak one out of her stash to test it

Candy photo over here. I don't know how to post this directly from my phone onto here, but this should link you to a photo of all the candy included showing one of each, except the Werthers.

The peeps could be green, but still vanilla . If you do happen to sneak one out of the stash ...............can you report if its vanilla or something else like apple ? THANKS !!!

Hope they are still vanilla like last year (although , they were white peeps last year, so I am not to optimistic about it) . DW will be really bummed if they are not the vanilla peeps. She LOVED them last year , and always hoarded the peeps when given the option at the trick or treat stops . Even made it her personal quest to try and find some when we got home, with not much luck !She was really looking forward to MNSSHP , somewhat because of the vanilla peeps !

Also .........is it just me ..........but I could swear we got Reese's peanut butter cups last year ???? Anyone else remember that ? I am 99% sure I remember eating those, and happily trading DW HER Reese's , for MY Vanilla Peeps !

OK, you were right. The green Peeps are vanilla. I'm glad it's the answer you were hoping for

Also you are right about the Peanut Butter cups. I LOVE the dang things and was also looking forward to them They have been at the parties for years and there were none this year. I was so disappointed. Also not Butterfingers this year and no hard candy or Twizzlers. I don't miss the single wrapped chews. They used to get squishy and make a mess in the the party bags in the heat Overall the candy was of a higher quality this year, IMO.

Thanks you so much for checking !
Yes, that would be the answer DW was hoping for !

I knew I wasn't going nutty over the Reese's , and yes, I remember Butter Fingers , and Twizzlers also now that you mentioned it !
Maybe the Reese's melted too much in the heat , or possibly a sponsorship issue ?

Thanks again !

Ticket questions: if you order tickets to pick up at will-call, does that mean they have to be picked up at MK just before the party? Or would guest services in the hotel be able to give them to you? How much extra time should be allowed for pick up?

I know I can just print at home, but I like the idea of the plastic tickets as a memento. And since we'll most likely be going to the party before using any of our regular tickets, I want to avoid any chance of them accidentally taking a day off our regular tickets, which means not relying on the MBs. I know that can be fixed if necessary, but it's better to avoid problems in the first place.

Sorry. I'm sure you've probably already said, but could you repeat what line the peeps were at?

Is this kind of thing generally frowned upon at the parties or is it common? I wouldn't think one could hold spots in line without the crowd brandishing pitchforks and such, but we've never been to MNSSHP so am curious.

Yikes! I don't want to tick any body off. I've heard others mentioning it so assumed it was ok? Told my husband about the plan and he wasn't so sure it was a good idea either so now I'm not sure!

No, I don't want to either, but if this is a widely accepted thing for the long character lines it may change my mind about waiting in the forever-line for Jack & Sally.

"Frowned upon" and "get away with" and "some people think it's ok" are all different things, and they're all true.

It can be difficult for people to explain why they feel the way they do. Many people say "unless you can show me where it says it's not allowed, it's ok." Other people feel "if you're doing it for reasons beyond your control, it's ok, but if you're doing it so some members of your party can do some other fun thing instead of waiting in line, it's not ok." And many people can look at two similar but not quite identical situations and come up with different answers.

I don't like it, but why should my opinion matter? Ultimately, you have to worry about whether you can sleep at night and what you're teaching your kids about consideration for others.
