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

[Best Aunt]

To answer some questions:

The grave diggers were next to the water, across from the Shooting Arcade.

Hitchhiking ghosts magic shot: look for photopass photographer with tripod across from columbia harbour house.

Photographer in front of castle did two party magic shots: pose hand like you are holding a string and it ends up looking like you are holding a poison apple over a cauldron; hold hand up and out, and it looks like a lit jack o lantern is sitting on your hand.

Photographer next to Sleepy Hollow also did the poison apple one.

I'm really looking forward seeing more feedback from people who have the dessert party + parade viewing. I'm honestly still VERY on the fence about whether to keep our reservation.

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

I thought they were letting people into the dessert party long before the first parade, placing reserved signs on the tables those guests selected and then allowing guests to return after the parade. Am I totally confused still? (Likely.) Is the scenario I described above only for those who booked when parade seating was erroneously included with the dessert party? TIA.

We are going to the party on the Friday night of Labor Day weekend, August 31. How busy/crowded do you think it will be? Also, from experience which times are the least busy/crowded for the parade and Hocus Pocus show? Where is the best viewing spots for the parade and fireworks? Thanks for any help!

Trick or treat report:

Mickey’s Philharmagic in Fantasyland: inside, get candy at two points in the line

Pinocchio Village Haus in Fantasyland: inside

Cosmic Ray’s in Tomorrowland: inside

Monster’s Inc in Tomorrowland: inside. The first time they gave candy at two points. I went again later by mistake and they gave candy at three points in the line.

Near Carousel of Progress in Tomorrowland: outside

Country Bears in Frontierland: inside

Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square: inside but if you go prior to fireworks you have to walk through water to get in the door in the back. It seemed to be dryer later.

Next to Pirates in Adventureland: I think it was outside but covered

Next to Jungle Cruise: outside.

I missed one on Main Street and two by Splash Mountain.

Supposedly 14 so I guess I missed 2 others as well.

Sometimes they are marked by a large orange inflated thing, but sometimes just castmembers holding paddles.

I brought a tote bag. The little bag they gave out would not have held my candy.

My count:

43 of chocolate candy (Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, Milky Way, Dove milk chocolate, M&M, Malteasers).

43 non-chocolate candy (Starburst, Skittles, lifesaver Gummies).

The scenario you described is only for those who booked when parade viewing was included in the dessert party description.

That said, I also saw someone (who was one of the people who got the parade viewing due to the mishap) say that they were told they could enter the dessert party at 7:30 so that they could have some desserts before the first parade, then go to the first parade, and then go straight to fireworks. If we keep our party reservation (which was made during the time that the parade viewing was in the description), that's likely the plan we'll use. Dessert party, parade, fireworks, and then have the rest of the evening for whatever else.

Somewhere I had seen a doom buggy from the haunted mansion being sold and when you pressed a button or something, it played some of the classic phrases from the attraction. It might not be special for Halloween, but I really want it! Did I make it up? Did anybody see it? If so, do you know where I can get one?

I just went to YouTube and saw it again. Doesn’t look like it’s for the party...just a new Haunted Mansion item. I’m assuming it would be at Memento Mori?

Stitch meeting inside Stich's Great Escape

OMG. I am SOOO excited! What time did people start lining up? Was it crazy long? When did he come out?

Suggestion: the party map is not specific as to where the trick or treat spots are. It is not specific as to where the character spots are, and it does not tell you which characters are there. Even if it was specific, it’s too dark to read a map during the party.

Make a list like my trick or treat spot list, and save it on your phone someplace where you will not need wifi to access it. Do not expect to find signs indicating the character spots. Without a list you can read in the dark, you could wander all night and not find the characters.

Where is the best viewing spots for the parade and fireworks?

I enjoyed watching the fireworks from a spot along the water across from the Shootin Arcade. There are photographers along there who will take your picture with fireworks in the background - look for the big pumpkin.

I skipped the first parade to do photo with Elvis Stitch. I skipped the second parade to catch a hotel bus before the masses descended.

Are the seven dwarfs still in storybook circus even with the new Disney junior jam? And does anyone know if vampirina was at the dance party? Thanks!

 

[ILoveMyDVC]

I completely agree. Leaning toward the second parade if we keep the dessert party. Did anyone do the second last night?

I thought I just wasn't following. Glad it's not just in my head.

 

[LoveMMC]

I asked my friend- Timon and doc. *** no vampirina or Jake. I’m happy to see Timon but was Jake busy ?!?

How long was the wait for stitch?

 

[LoveMMC]

How long was the Brer Rabbit line??

 

[j2thomason]

Are party food treats available between 4-7?

When did Stitch come out and how long was the wait?
