"Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

[cuteandfluffy626]

Regarding the Ride closures, I think a lot of the Disney fan sites are reporting this now because of this Disney Parks Mom Panel answer. But I know they are not always correct and I'm not really sure the Moms really have insider information I don't think. I believe this is just re-posting what the WDW site is saying about the party. So, this might not be 100%, or at least I'm hoping so. https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney...mickey-not-scary-halloween-party-boys-339584/

This is my current problem about these articles and answers. No one knows anymore then anyone else! They are all getting their information from the same source, the MNSSHP page. Which we have all determined is not helping anyone.

I'm tempted to cancel our tickets now unless Disney gives an actual answer.

I can't believe they "forgot" to mention 3 of the most popular rides (although SM is closed for refurb, so it's really just 2). If they aren't listed on the page, I would take that as the actual answer (for now). Maybe if enough people call and complain they will reconsider...

This is so much poor planning on Disney's part if Splash Mountain, BTMR and 7DMT are really down.

SM, refurb. Fine. I think it's terribly poor planning that they couldn't do it after the holidays but hey, I'm just a guest not an imagineer so I don't know all the small details.

7DMT and BTMR? Your kidding me right? If they are opened during the day then there is absolutely NO REASON they can't be opened during the party.

This is really upsetting me.

Still not too concerned. Everyone just getting worked up based on the same info. I wouldn't call anything that I have seen "definitive".

I love the optimism, and I'm holding out hope that the site is wrong, but the site has a list of attractions that will be available during the party and for Frontierland the only thing listed is Country Bear Jamboree! And for Fantasyland everything is listed except the most popular ride in the entire park. That just doesn't make any sense. Hopefully it's just an error, but it's not looking good for the home team. Everyone should complain and maybe they will re-think it.

If it means less tickets sold .... I am fine with it.

If Splash is down, TS Island closed at night and they close Big Thunder ... they could actually close that entire section of the park, that's a big savings on CMs other than a couple to stand by ropes stopping you from going in.

So disappointed. First time I have ever been able to attend a party and not buying Disney tickets this years so when 25th August came up I was so happy as meant I could still go on the Thunder, Splash and 7DMT in the dark. Love those. Only bought tickets yesterday and I definitely would not have bothered if I had known they would be down. Not just that they are down but it just seems rather cynical on Disneys part to me. I am going to email and then wait a while and give them the benefit of the doubt. See if they reconsider as I assume they will get alot of complaints. If it stays like this, I'll cancel. I think Disney are pretty good when it comes to refunds so I don't envisage a problem.

What is Creepa Crew?

Creepa Crew is a group of high energy dancers who appear prior to each parade along Main Street ONLY staring Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Zootopia.

It may be a big savings for them, but the price of the parties doesn't warrant them an excuse to be looking for places to save money...we are going to be in Florida to visit family and are only planning to come over for the party, so if these rumors are true having three out of four "more thrilling" rides...and also DD's favorite...closed during the party makes me reconsider our plan...maybe we'd enjoy just spending one day at AK and checking out Pandora instead of doing the party. I also think this decision will affect crowds even if there are fewer people who attend the party...all those who would have been riding Splash, BTMRR, and SDMT will now be interspersed throughout other parts of the park...just making other parts more crowded than they already are.

We called ticketing / dvc member services but after many long delays in which they were checking with others they came back to confirm simply what is on-line ie no 7DMT or BTMR. They have no idea as to whether it is a mistake or glitch. We asked for a refund of the 4 tickets we had purchased the day before - which they did. We were a bit iffy on going anyways and with splash also down we decided it wasn't worth it for us. I hope and suspect this will all change in which case we may reconsider.

I purchased 6 party tickets in Oct 2016 and I received 100% refund.

This is pretty aggravating about the ride closures.

I know it won't make a difference, but what is the email everyone uses when they'd like to make a complaint? Can't hurt to write to them and let them know this is a disappointment.

And if they really are closed during the party, you have to wonder if they are closed for refurb during some of the party time-frame, otherwise why on earth would they be closed during party.

We are going to bite the bullet and wait to see if Disney refutes/confirms the report that these attractions will be closed during the party. Even if this means waiting to purchase ticks until the parties are underway. Of course, maybe a more effective protest is buying/cancelling tickets!

I was very excited about being able to go to MNSSHP this year and this will be a disappointment. However, skipping this event would help us find room in our budget to spend a day at Universal. It had to be one or the other.

I sent an email inquiry through the disney website and will report back here with what I learn.

I was wondering the same thing

Is it typical that Jungle Cruise is closed as well? That's not on the list either. I'm assuming all the shows are usually closed--Carousel of Progress, Philharmagic, Presidents, Tiki Room, Enchanted Tales. I assume that's nothing new?

This is our first chance to attend a party and I've been SOOOO looking forward to it. Not that rides will be a main focus for us, but those short lines I hear about are certainly part of the draw. And unfortunately, the only party we'll be there for is the very first one so no chance to wait on live reports!

Just a thought did you mention you read on the DIS boards that posters are cancelling their tickets because of it?

It is typical that Jungle Cruise is closed. I also know the Tiki Room and Hall of Presidents are usually closed (I think they may have a trick-or-treat station in the Tiki Room), but not sure about the others shos.

I didn't mention that...I did mention that their response would factor into our decision into whether or not to purchase tickets...I laid it on pretty thick.

This is exactly my situation! There's more to the party then the rides I realize, but it's just a plus that the ride lines are shorter and we can take advantage of that! Plus dressing up in costume and taking pictures on the rides in character you know?

Plus this is our first party and part of the reason we decided to go during this time too. We can't afford a big trip like Disney that often so this is special for us.

That's why I'm so upset about the rides possibly not being in operation.

But I hope the rumors aren't true. It would just be nice if someone could actually get information from somewhere other then the MNSSP page.
