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

[GADisneyDad14]

Intresting as everything I've read says you can't.

Party tickets will allow for FP booking.

A secondary issue is that SOME people end up getting a notice from Disney that they have insufficient ticket media and their last day of booked FPs will be deleted. This happens to some but not others, and must have something to do with certain combinations of tickets/sources/packages/plans (but the exact reasons have proven elusive).

But other than that nuance which isn't applicable to everyone, a party ticket will let you book FPs before and up to 6pm.

I'm interested in the Werther's candy spot, too! Going this Friday.

This was a favorite stop for us as well. 3 years ago it was across from Ariel ride. 2 years ago it was in pinocchio's. But it was missing last year and from the podcast i just watched the only specialty locations was the gogo at tom sawyer and the bag on the bypass for main street.

I have heard that several people have had success with getting the cancelled fastpasses readded if they call mde support but only 2 not 3 restored and for after 4pm as thats when you could officially enter

I just needed to show party band for merch and SotMK card.

Oh awesome! We should be getting our band at 2 with someone on the DIS so I might have to take advantage of looking at merch during that time.

You can only book fp's between 4-7 if you have a day ticket. Party only tickets cannot.

Actually its 4-6. No FP after 6pm

Are the locations for wrist band pick up accurate one page 1? It still says: will update for 2018. We are going to enter early on APs and pick up bands at whatever location is convenient. TIA

We saw spots to pick up wristbands at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Tortuga Tavern.

That's what I had thought as well!

The good news is you actually can book them on only a party ticket! We have 3 fastpasses between 3:30 and 6:00 (they cut your last one off at 6:00 no matter when it starts). We will only be visiting the park on our party ticket and have no other tickets associated with our account right now.

This is good to know, thanks for clarifying!

I'm partial to the garden area in front of Casey's. It's not reserved but people tend to think it is so I've 'usually' been able to get in there somewhat late with no issues. It's also proximate to a restroom (back between Casey's and Crystal Palace) which is key for us (mine always pull the 'need to go' stunt 5 minutes before showtime).

At the first party, it was blocked off for the media, but I’m assuming it’s normally open.

 

[Dentam]

Oh cool! It would be pretty funny to see each other at the party since we probably live like 30 mins away from you...

I know, that would be funny! I'll keep an eye out for your guys!

I've heard about how long the lines are for Jack & Sally and The 7 Dwarfs, but haven't heard anyone mention anything about Mickey's line during the party. Is his line just as bad?

Also, how accurate is the info about having a 15 minute grace period for FP+? I have a BTMRR reservation from 3:25-4:25, and I'm afraid I won't make it on time.
in advance!!!

I was wondering about the fab five waits as well...it's our first party & we'll be there next Tuesday (August 28)!

Does anyone know if I am able to book FP on a party ticket starting at 2 if I'm DVC?

 

[PolyRob]

Does anyone have experience already being in the park prior to 4pm, getting a wristband at a secondary location, and then heading towards the bypass around 5/6pm to get the pre-filled bags with candy and utilize the photo-ops? My current plan involves being very early for Jack and Sally and then attempting to go through the bypass while already in the park.

Can't answer your character question, but the 15 minute grace period is programmed into the system. You're good!

Actually this year it's only -6.

 

[GinnyBear's_mom]

Just confirming- we did get access to party merch before 4pm with the DVC early entry. We also were able to pick up the SotMK party card before 4pm.

We are DVC and heading to a party next week- was the bypass open when you entered at 2? If so, were they handing out bags?

Interesting as everything I've read says you can't. Well, you can book them, but reports from last year are that Disney will cancel them.https://www.disboards.com/threads/f...of-mnsshp-using-the-mnsshp-tix.3693550/page-2

It's very hit or miss, just like last year. It seems you can, but some get emails about them getting canceled, others dont and use them just fine. I currently have some booked for my trip in a lil over a week. It seems like you are more likely to get an email about them being canceled (and some of those have called disney and gotten to keep 2 of the party f/ps) if you change something in your package/reservation etc.

The party tickets actually will give you times for all day.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Is Mickey Minnie and Daisy’s outfits still the same?

Looks like Goofy is sporting a pirate costume this year if I remember he usually wears his normal one in story book circus so that’s cool

Were the party exclusive treats and headless horseman straw available between 4-7 or only after 7?
