"Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

[sherlockmiles]

I’m not sure if they’re doing it with this one or not but usually they don’t put the popcorn on the bucket they give you the bucket and a regular thing of popcorn with it.

Last year the jackolantern pumkpins had a presealed bag of popcorn in side. May have been kettle corn.....

If you buy merchandise during party can you have it delivered to your hotel like you can normally?

Any update on where to buy headless horseman straw clip?

In prior years we’ve purchased merchandise prior to 7 - there is usually a seperate line and they check your wristband when entering said line.

Last year on main street I wasn't allowed to purchase anything until AFTER 7. I was not happy. Sounds like different locations are different.

Watching Streaming the Magic off and on last night, the lady mentioned that, if you save your ticket and wristband, you can come back at a later date. A CM will escort you to the Emporium to shop. Can anyone else confirm this? Staying at BLT and not wanting to waste Party time shopping, that would work for me.

Trying to figure out if going to the dessert party at either terrace seating or standing at the garden plaza will get you priority viewing of the boo-to-you parade?

If you don’t get priority viewing of the parade is there any strategy to see the parade and still go to the dessert party?

TIA

Any more info on the LE magic band? Are they gone? Are they holding some back for each party?

There are 4000 of them. I can’t imagine them selling out on night 1.

If you do not already have a reservation made before the website was corrected (I can’t recall the exact date off hand), then you can’t get parade viewing with either dessert party for a new reservation. It was mistakingly included on the website description, then later removed, but Disney is honoring the language and providing parade viewing for folks who booked before the website was changed.

Couple of Questions:

1. Were Splash Mountain and/or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad open during the party? We have seen conflicting info on this.

2, Where is the Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket on sale?

Thanks.

I haven’t booked yet, as I kept reading so many conflicting answers.

Is there any strategy to go to the dessert party and still see the parade - except for seeing the past show ofc?

This was our first MNSSHP. I am not a parade person, and I have to say that this parade was amazingly well done. The gravediggers stole the show; their routine was awesome! As first timers at this event, we were a little disoriented, and we thought the crowd level was very high.
Some of the candy lines were very long, and we had to skip some of them. The biggest disappointment of the event; the super long lines for the characters. Sadly, we did not have the ability to stand for over an hour for photos so we had to bypass every character. The 7 Dwarfs were hidden away in a tent, so we couldn't even see them. I feel strongly that due to the crowd levels, FP+ was needed especially for the characters. DGS has a DAS and cannot wait very long in lines so this became a problem last night.
We spent a good deal of time waiting in lines last night, even to buy the Halloween merchandise. Way too much waiting for a ticketed event. I don't know; maybe they oversold. We loved the parade and Hallowishes, but not overly impressed with much else.

Seemed to be same old same old for merchandise wait times. Many lined up good half hour early for that

U really do need to plan an attack and pick and choose wisely or you’ll never get your must do’s accomplished.

Don’t think DAS generally works for characters events or otherwise They will accommodate it on the rides during party even tho no wait times are listed

Wouldn’t surprise me to see th m roll out a pricey guaranteed character addon in future. A certain element of people will pay it

Anybody with info on the trick or treat stations? Two from recent years were replaced this year - Tiki Room with Moana and the new Disney Jr. Dance Party in the Silly Sideshow area. Wondering how Ariel's Grotto, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor and Country Bears were as far as trick or treat? The Tiki Room and the Silly Sideshow area were lines with more than one candy barrel so it made the line better - just wondering how these new locations were laid out - and anybody with candy reports? Thanks!

Monsters and philharmonic had 2

Others u referenced too long for us

I got mine at Sleepy Hollow.

Couple of Questions:

1. Were Splash Mountain and/or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad open during the party? We have seen conflicting info on this.

2, Where is the Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket on sale?

1. Yes, both were. Big thunder went down momentarily at some point, but was back up pretty quickly.

2. Several popcorn stands sold them last night. Definitely liberty square and by jungle cruise. I was also told at the castle cart and possibly by dumbo.

A few more thoughts.

The monsters dance party in Tomorrowland was pretty cool. Sully, Mike and one other were up close and personal dancing with the kids.

We didn’t get many photos, the lines were long. Just a few regular ones.

I agree with everyone else about Pirates. We had some fun with the pirate in the ride, but I wouldn’t wait in line.

My kids went on space and loved it; I’m glad I opted out as I would have very much disliked not being able to see anything- and we also enjoyed the people mover and the SM music was LOUD.

Tea cups was fun to watch. In all, fine, but I’d rather enjoy the short lines between 6:15 and 7:15 at whatever are your favs (some lines were always higher, e.g., 7D) if we want to do attractions.

It seems to me it's much smarter to get the "overlay" from Space Mountain just by riding the People Mover.....and no whiplash! the jerking around is what bothers me most with SM (and especially dh, since his cervical neck fusion). I wonder if once all the critiques come out with this first party if they will change some things up. Surely customer satisfaction is important to Disney

The reports last night were they were near Haunted Mansion along the fence but looks to me like HM is just in background

Oh, goodness.....these guys are the best!

Any more info on the LE magic band? Are they gone? Are they holding some back for each party?

So regarding the LE magic bands.....if you have any of them (halloween party, christmas party, etc) will the effects be the same because they are indeed a limited edition or are the effects based on the event? If you continue to use the LE band, will the effect be continued on non-party FP lines?

I’m a little worried about SM. I know I’ll love it but I could see Dh hating it. He already thinks it’s a little rough.

From my understanding, the LE bands will have their own effect and they will continue to work the same way party or not. They don’t all work the same way either. Some work at fp lines and others only work at the entrances.

Boo to you!Anyone have information on Moana and/or Captain Jack Sparrow; is also echo the request earlier for the same information on Alice in Wonderland characters. When did they come out, how early to line up, how long the waits got, best time to see them, etc...? Thanks for all the great information so far, we’re actually going next year but I’m a planner (understatement!) and determined to make the most of it.

If you want to do the dessert party, your only good option is to do the second parade.
