Yes 4, sometimes even a few minutes before then.

Here is a review from Josh of easy wdw of a lot of the Halloween party specific snacks.

I know people have been curious about some of them, and Josh never pulls any punches.

Thanks for posting this article. Wow, the reviews for most of the items I was wanting to try have been pretty terrible. The seasonal treats at Disneyland are always so fun and tasty. This will be our first time at MNSSHP and I’m a little disappointed by all the less-than-stellar reviews.

It’s too bad the Haunted Mansion-themed desserts aren’t getting good feedback this year, since they look really cool. I would have loved to try the portrait tarts last year.

Oh no! The review of the doombuggy treat makes me sad!

That equal packet really opens your eyes - it certainly didn't look that small. The only things I might try it the poison apple cupcake - but I like frosting - and the burger from Cosmic Rays

Agreed! The sugar packet really brought the axe down on this one for me. Also sad that multiple folks report that the Leota tart just has an bad artificial taste. Hate I missed the tarts last year.

Looks like I'll be getting the waffle sundae and calling it square. The poison apple cupcake does look really cute, though.

So we were down in the world from Aug. 12-20 at were so excited when a few months ago we found out that the first Halloween party was scheduled for August 17th. We immediately bought tickets greatly looking forward to it. The last one we went to was about 15 years ago and it was the first time with kids. All I can say is what a huge disappointment.

First of all...man was it crowded. I didn't expect an empty crowd but it was more crowded than any day we went to the MK during the trip. I heard it was oversold. Even with the crowds most of the ride lines were manageable with most 15 minutes or less. But we werent there for the rides.

We made this a resort day knowing it would be a late night. So we got to the MK exactly at 4:00 got in and immediately went over to Storybook Circus to see where the 7 dwarfs would be. The line was already over an hour long. Which means not only waiting until they came out (which was about 6:30) but an hour beyond that. The line for Jack and Sally was at almost 2 hours. Are you kidding me? So we dismissed that and figured we'd enjoy the rest of the party.

The additions to the rides were nothing to write home about. Space Mountain was cool in the pitch black, but nothing mind blowing. Adding live characters to Pirates was a good idea, but i thought there'd be more than two on the line and only one inside. And the tea cups werent even worth the wait.

Candy lines were long, but moved quick and we did come home with a lot of candy. Hocus Pocus show was good but soooo crowded (we went to first one) but i heard other two were crowded. Parade was real good too, but again super crowded. and Hallowishes was great, even though I'm not a huge fireworks fan. Dance parties were blah. Was hoping for so many more Halloween activites around the park.

So for almost $80 a person x 5 people, definitely did not think it was worth it. I don't mind paying but the crowds and what they offered was super disappointing. Only picture we ended up with was with the grave diggers. We stayed until about 11:30. Don't thik I would do it again even if we were down there for it. So much more Disney could have done with a little more effort.

Curious to know at what point would the party be shut down for rain? Is a refund possible? The forecast right now is 60% chance of rain from 5-9pm.

They won’t close unless dangerous lightening or hurricane

They won’t “shut down” the party for rain. They will delay the parade, fireworks, and make other changes to charachter locations and treat trails as needed, but out right cancelling woudn’t happen except for a major weather event.

I haven't visited guest services since the renovation a few years ago, so I'm not exactly sure where it is but I do know DS is easy to navigate so if you ask a CM they should be able to point you in the right direction with no problem.

Yes, I will do that for sure. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this! Luckily we will get mini versions of most of these at the dessert party. I was a little disappointed when I saw the picture of the Maleficent cone. I thought it was a lot bigger but it looks pretty small.

Guest services at DS is right by the D-Lux Burger. Really easy to find from the bus drop off near the Lime parking garage. The service is great there too, nice and comfortable!

Today is Friday, August 24, 2018. You know what that means? MNSSHP # 2 is tonight! And you know what that means? More MNSSHP attendees who can report back!

I'm sure there are people who have been thinking, "If I have to read about @BestAunt's opinion of the not so poison apple cupcake at MNSSHP # 1 one more time..."

god, I hope it is better feedback than from the first one....

I trust Josh's food reviews so much that I immediately axed the Doom Buggy dessert (due to his description) and the worms and dirt (upon seeing how small it was). I had a feeling the Leota tart wouldn't be good. Now it looks like I'm sticking with the waffles, nachos, and soft serve. That's all fine for me...I'll be at Epcot earlier that day and can get plenty of sweet treats there! Just sad that I missed out on last year's desserts.

Poncho up and go! We’re at the Pop bus stop now!

Ya that’s the plan. We will be heading to the bus at about 3pm. Just a disappointment thought if it rains all night. This will be our only MK time this trip.

If the rain can just hold off to be a light sprinkle, it should be okay. Enjoy!
