I finally got my dates figured out and I am going to do MNSSHP 9/20 and 9/22! So excited! I'm really hoping the soirée happens again so I can do that one night as well.

smitch425 · Mar 26, 2015

Well...after much thought and debate, we have decided on our costumes for this year. We will be going as the Carousel of Progress family (4th of July scene).

We will be attending the party on 9/20 and not sure about our costumes.

Can someone tell me what the villains soiree is? And how much it cost last year?

CRT closed early for the soirée. The meal and soirée were at the same place. Unless you are doing a couple parties, I wouldn't recommend dinner so close to party time. Depending what you want to do or who you want to see, it makes more sense to wait in a line before the party rather than during the party wasting precious party time.

Thanks for the heads up about the soiree! My 180 day window opens tomorrow and I'm going to try to book CRT for an early meal the night of MNSSHP. It's my daughter's only birthday request so hopefully I will be able to book something. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm thinking of eating around 5 o clock or so to allow ample time to enjoy the MNSSHP parade and events later that night.

I was the exact same way - had NO idea how to even attempt to plan for this. I found this guide (I hope it's okay to post the website...if not feel free to remove) and it was VERY helpful in helping me understand all the different offerings and how to plan them out. http://www.disneytouristblog.com/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party-review-tips/

I recommend an early morning breakfast at CRT. Try for 8:30am. It is fun to go inside MK before the park opens. Wonderful photo opps.

It was a special event in the Castle at CRT during the Halloween party. There were special drinks, snacks, and desserts, plus M&Gs with certain Villains, and special reserved seating for Boo to You and HalloWishes. Last year it cost $99 a person, beyond the cost of the party ticket. It sold out most, if not all, nights - I'm assuming something that popular will be back this year, but no announcement yet.

The soiree also was at 10:15 so it could take up a lot of party time, and on some nights at 11:45 so you could end the party and walk down a deserted main street which i heard some people say was quite cool.

I just called to book surfing lessons during my September trip and the CM said to put April 8th on my calendar to call back for Halloween Party tickets.

Do you have an AP?
If I understand things correctly AP's get a presale.

jennab113 · Mar 27, 2015

I do have an AP, but I am not sure if I had told her that yet or not. She did have my room reservation number, so maybe she could tell that way.

luulu1999 · Mar 27, 2015

Question about costumes...I am considering either Star Wars Rebel or Star Wars for our family of 4, I am sure a ton of people do this but I cant figure out what else ( I am not creative) so can you bring light sabers with you?

FeralCatRogue · Mar 27, 2015

I'd guess so I brought a 4.5 ft broom which i'm sure cut apart in my luggage had the airlines wondering.

I've never heard of that. A discount, yes, but no early purchase as far as I know.

blackpearl77 · Mar 27, 2015

Do the tickets go on sale online? Or do you have to order them over the phone?

They'll be online.

We've always bought them online. I'm not sure if they appear online the first day you can buy them though. The earliest we've ever bought tickets was a month or two out.

Does anyone know how quickly the soirees were selling out last year? We were only able to get tickets the day of by asking at CRT about 45 minutes before the parade started but I'd like to avoid that stress this year

Wondering if I calling within a few days of them going on sale would be sufficient. thanks for any input!
