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

[PardonOurPixieDust]

What are people doing for costumes? I can't wait to see what other people do.

My family and I are going as a lost jungle cruise boat: they're always making comments of what happened to their last boat so I thought we could BE that last boat. My mother and brother will be in tattered safari-esq gear and I'm still searching for the perfect jungle cruise skipper hat. Super excited for my second (and their first) Halloween Party though!

I know @FoxC63 answered you, but wanted to add that you cannot redeem star rewards in the parks (I don't know if that's part of what you've been saving up or not). Not sure whether this is also true for Disney Springs.

You can redeem rewards at the Starbucks in Disney Springs. I did last month.

From the emails I've gotten on the subject, I assume if we needed a refund it'd be on whatever form we used to add money to the DVA. I used a mix of cash and gift cards, so I'd assume it'd be a gift card. That whole situation was awful. After they closed the accounts my poor mother couldn't use her card for anything! Same card she'd used in her DVA, but suddenly no Disney cM could process a payment on it. Their computer system is in trouble.

WOW! A lot of people were upset it closed down but this is the first issue I've read. Thanks buddy!

I ask because our very first trip to WDW we went to MNSSHP for our first visit to the MK and it was kind of crazy (and dark) for first timers. The party was great but I found out after the fact that we missed a bunch of things (and didn't really appreciate the "walk up factor" of the rides and characters at the party until we went back to the MK on a regular day and experienced the reality). Granted this was was our first trip and even with the help of the DIS I was still a novice planner.

Uh oh- this is my situation exactly. First time to MK (ever) is on a party night. We'll be back for a regular park day later that week but I'd like to feel like I did the party up right!

What did you feel you missed? What did you do differently the second time?

Those costumes sound awesome! I'm not creative. And my family can't agree on anything. Complicating that is DD has no idea we are going. We will tell her at the airport. She has always wanted to go to a party so I asked her what she would dress up as. It keeps changing. DH is going as Sid from Toy Story, DD is going as something from HM, and I'm wearing Snow White inspired clothes. I just ordered my headpiece last night.

I'm not attending a party this year, but will be at MK Tuesday evening and Thursday morning this week. I'm anxious to see the decorations, which I assume will have begun to appear byThursday

It's happening soon! I can't wait to see pictures!!

I'm going as a haunted mansion barista..... (I made it up). But I will go HM make up and hair with cob webs. I thought for the meets I could call out the drink order for whomever I am meeting.

Getting a little nervous about the SOTMK card. Last year it was announced about a week before the first party. We're past that now.

How much do the balloons cost at Magic Kingdom? I've never bought one and I want to buy one of the Halloween ones when I go to MNSSHP.

 

[5forDis]

Are the MNSSHP tickets linked to your magic bands? Nope! They are assigned to the profiles in your MDE account and since you can see them there, you're all set to go and completely linked. You should also see your FastPasses provided you've made them.
I plan on bringing the hard tickets anyway just in case. Smart move! Be sure to bring the method that you used when purchasing too.
Memory Maker. Excellent! I highly recommend this thread Magic Shots - Current Listings and adding Disney Facebook link to your phone. You'll be able to see all the Magic Shots available at the four parks. Disney also keeps this updated with locations on where to find them!

Have a great trip!

I received my park tickets (we are staying off site) in the mail, my memory maker card but no Halloween tickets. My paperwork says 3 Halloween tickets and they show under My Disney Experience but no hard tickets. Did anyone else not get hard tickets??

I didn't get hard tickets either, but another couple we are going with did.

I'm rethinking what we're going to wear to the party. We had planned to do Anna & Elsa and wear old race costumes that we have so we didn't have to buy anything new. But we got a Sparkle Skirt that is kind of purpley and lacey and looks a bit Haunted Mansion-ish and now I'm debating if we should wear that and a Halloween themed shirt with some ears. I just can't decide! The indecisiveness is strong with this one!

 

[amyharris0919]

We have finally come to an agreement on costumes! We are a DC Comics loving family, most especially Batman. So DS10 is going to be Batman, with the rest of us as villains. DS23 is going to be Bane, DH will be Joker, and I'll be Harley Quinn. I really wanted to do something more Disney inspired, but we just couldn't come to an agreement. Going super easy, too, as they're all just costume t-shirts. Found a Bane neoprene mask that just covers the mouth/nose that DS can just pull up for pics, I'll wear glasses that look like Harley's mask, just need to find a Batman mask, and going to spray DH's hair with green hair spray. Not sure if he'll let me paint on Joker's smile...LOL. I love my Harley tank, it's hooded, so I won't have to worry about a headpiece!

It was listed on the map last year on the other side. Here's 2016...

Also the first page on my thread will take you directly to Food & Beverage which can be accessed easily via your mobile phone while in the parks.

EDIT: I'm not sure if everything will be listed on the map but my site will be kept updated as the party moves along.

There were more places than that last year... Wish I had the note left from last year.

I think I am going to call. I just don't want to be on hold for 1 hour

I'm sure there was more then what was on the back of the map. I also thought they had beverages too but I haven't seen any announcements about that this year.

If you do call, do you mind reporting back?

I agree especially with budget cuts.
There are still a few unknowns for MNSSHP and they include:

1. Popcorn Bucket (s)
2. Beverages
3. Party Patrol
4. Once Upon a Time - Castle Projection Show (most unlikely)
5. Dance Party
6. Madame Carlotta or Madame Rinotta hours
7. Character Updates
8. Trick or Treat Updates
9. Magic Shots & photo opportunities

EDIT: Removed Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom card Thanks @Bex258

I got the cool poison apple mug with the special frozen drink (can't remember the name) last year, and it wasn't listed on the map. The basics seem to be but I just take all the info I get from every where put it in my smartphone notes and start a check list, I never wanna miss anything I have been drooling over while planning
