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

[ConnecticutFlea]

Last year I went through the peep line around 11:30. There was no one else there. I walked around and went through a second time, and commented that I love peeps. The CM scooped up the biggest handful she could and put it in my bag. I ate peeps for days!

This year at 11:50pm there was a line and it was between that and the hitch hiking ghost picture. We left the line to get the picture. That was the only line we didn't do. Next year!

I'd really like to buy one of the Mickey pumpkin ornaments if they are still available in October. If they are (not getting my hopes up), would I go to the register to purchase one as well, or do they have them on display in the store? Also, which store are they in? Big Top Souvenirs in Storybook Circus?

I am wondering this as well.

I may have missed...but any reviews for the desert party? How are the tables being assigned and how is the viewing area for the parade? How early do you need to show up--realistically. Thanks!

No reports yet, I'm also wanting to know all about the dessert party! Dying to hear the details and reviews!

For anyone curious about the little packs of treats that were given out with the party bags on Friday, this is what they look like.



And this is what you got inside them

I was told there was about 18,000 at the first party and that it was down from last year. Except 18,000 was pretty crowded for us if you wanted to meet characters. I heard all of the sales were down from last year except for Halloween.

We found the party to be much more crowded than usual. We've done sold out parties before and they didn't feel quite as congested as this one did. I suspect that having BTMR and IASW down, the absence of the multi-stop treat trails (they used to have the walk through from Fantasyland Station to Tomorrowland and a much better one at Splash Mountain) forced the crowds into the same areas more than usual. We love the parties and really, this was the only drawback that made us hesitate when deciding on the value for money for the event. Maybe it's harder for us because we go to a few of them every year and it's hard not to compare. I just feel that the capacity cap for a hard ticket event has steadily been extended every year for some time now and there are nights when you really feel it.

Thanks! Added to post 1. LOVE ME some peeps! Plan to get from everyone in my crew.

Everyone in your party has to collect Peeps, whether they like them or not. That is our rule. DD loves them, DH won't touch them. But he understands that if he doesn't collect Peeps, he has nothing to trade with her for her chocolate. It's all in the strategy (or scheme, which is probably a better word )

We will be at the Tuesday the 13th party next week. Wait times are scaring me for characters- as we have a long list of characters to see -but are ready to be in line for Jack and Sally by 4:30. Just to clarify- what other characters come out early and what time did they come out? Also, did anyone see a lot of characters and what was your strategy.? BTW - We are a family of me, DH, DS8, and DD3. Thanks everyone for help.

Is that a full-size bag of crispy M&Ms I see?! Y'all can have your Peeps, I've found my heaven!

 

[brnrss34]

I hope everyone that went the other day and in days forward has a wonderful time. 24 more days for us. Now down to my question for the magic shots can u get them starting at 4? Let's say your getting your wrist band at the entrance can you get headless horseman then? Or how about at 11:30 when your leaving the park? Thx

It's 1.35 ounces so not the bigger than the mini bags you get at the trick or treat stations. They were also handing out lots of M&M's in the mini sized bags at all the candy stops though, including the crispy ones so it sounds like your heaven is all set

Dance troupe with Nick and a Judy come out on main street before the parade to pump up the crowds. There's a video on youtube

Yahoo! I wasn't even aware they had brought crispy M&Ms back (thought they had replaced them with pretzel M&Ms, which just aren't the saaaaaame) so even mini bags make me mega-happy!

I've been trying to find out what time Jack/Sally came out. We are at the MK all day on 9/18 and want to know when to line up to have the shortest wait for them. They are the only characters that we are really interested in seeing (DD is now 25 and loves Jack and Sally). Any help would be appreciated.

They come out at 5. Head directly there once you have your wristband.

I posted this previously. We were a at the 1st party and a party of 10 and 6 of us were on line at 10:45pm for the 7 dwarfs. About 10 minutes later the other 4 came from buying some merchandise and we were yelled at by the CM. We were going to take one picture with the 10 of us - not individual pictures - but we got yelled at anyway. We apologized and he said that previously the same thing happened and 1 person on line got really mad. I didn't see a problem with doing this since we are taking 1 picture anyway and 6 of us were online. Try it and see what happens. I feel if we saw more characters we would have spent most of the party waiting on lines.

Exactly. It's all just one picture no matter how many people are in it. The characters do pretty well at managing the interaction time too, so it's not like because one group has ten people and the other has 4, the character spends anymore time with the bigger group than the smaller one. At least not in my experiences.
