Where did you get these from? I love it!

MouseBands on Etsy! She has a lot of different styles!

Just wanted to ask what a good time is to make dinner ressies at Mk the night of the party.

I think we have a 5:30 at Liberty Tree Tavern. Is that a good time or will we be missing out on anything if we eat at that time?

Thanks, Marina

It depends what you want to do in the party. If you want to meet Jack and Sally/7 Dwarves then you would miss it and really only late that night would be good to meet them but I'm not sure when they cut the line. A lot of the other meets I believe start at round 7pm so if you queue up after dinner you should be ok. If your there for rides and trick or treat and the show, parade and fireworks then it won't get in the way of that.

Personally I'm having either quick service/a snack to spend more time in the party but then I want to do some of the busier meet and greets.

Are we the only ones that don't ride during parties? We can ride anytime, would rather do the things we can't the next day.

We're going for a short trip and this will be our MK day. Not everyone has the chance to go mutiple days though it would be so nice!

Splash is listed as being in refurb from 8/28/2017- 11/16/2/017 but the other two are not listed anywhere I can find. I am choosing to consider their absence as an error of omission. Those are two of the most popular rides and my personal favorites to ride after dark and they have always been open during parties.

I am hopeful as well. I know we can FP those 2 during the 3:30-6:30 block but it is a big bummer for them to be closed since those that would be riding these 2 major draw rides will instead drive up the lines elsewhere. Plus big thunder rocks after dark. I know most arent into riding rides during the party but thats a big draw for the party for some of us-short ride lines. We dont plan to trick-or-treat or do any character meet and greets-just party entertainment and rides. To have part of that equation have possibly less value sure does stink.

I also don't see ETWB or Philharmagic listed, not that those will have as much of an impact. It's going to balloon crowds everywhere if those things are down. Feeling very frustrated. I don't have any interest in MnG's, though we do plan to ToT, possibly parade and fireworks.

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.

Just returned on Tues from a trip. Upgraded our tix to APs. Plan on doing the Halloween and Christmas parties! Have gone to MVMCP before, but his will be my first time at MNSSHP. My kids have recently discovered Nightmare Before Christmas and are obsessed with Jack and Sally. So they will be our first priority. Am I correct that we need to line up for them at 4? Since we have APs, we could get there earlier. Is there a line at 3? Is there any other Nightmare Before Christmas things at the party?

I'm glad they refunded for you. I have to say...my first instinct was I wanted a refund. I will wait and see, I can't possibly understand what the reason would be unless they are closed!!!

I don't get aggravated easily and I don't dwell, but if these rides aren't running during the party because of staffing issues, I would have to express my disappointment in some way.

I'm going to go with the belief that they just listed a few and not all of them.

I mean, DH and I will have a full day at Magic Kingdom so we will do those rides anyways but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth otherwise.

You will have a blast. Boo to You is Disney's best parade. Probably no actual line @ 3Pm, but if you know where line is (will know if not attending 1st party) then start the line. Others might have same strategy. They had a few items including t-shirts last year. Don't remember if patty specific.

I wonder what exclusive stuff will have at the party this year.

As you say, unless the rides are closed down for maintenance, I can't imagine they would actually rope off the lines at 7 pm (while those who were in line before 7 go ride).

They do not have to refund but ticket guy said he would and then we could re-purchase later if need be. I really do think it must be a mistake and will be corrected.

Hi!
I just started my first thread with hope of helping those who plan on attending late August and early September Halloween parties. If you're interested in creating an itinerary, down load a Character List or Trick or Treat Location List. They can be found here:

https://www.disboards.com/threads/m...strategy-in-the-making.3604086/#post-57587125

Hope to see you there!

Thanks! We are so excited! Can't wait to read the reviews once the party gets under way!

Ok silly question- DD and I are going
My DS and DH are not (autism/severe allergies/toddler)

Can an adult have a trick or treat bag or is it only for kids? My husband would like the candy to compensate missing out on the party so I would give my bag to him.
Also could I get a few allergy friendly treats or a teal bag so I could get a few sweets for my son? For example at one treat stand instead of getting candy can I ask for an allergy friendly treat?
My daughter will happily ask for an allergy friendly treat for her brother because she loves to take care of him- but not sure how strict they are with the sweets.
Ie no teal bag - no treat for you!

 

[PetePanMan]

A couple fireworks questions....
- are the MNSSHP fireworks quite different / special?
- will MNSSHP fireworks music be piped into Cali Grill, Poly beach etc.?
Thx

I haven't been to MNSSHP in several years BUT when I did go, adults were given bags and were welcome to trick or treat.
