"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

[FoxC63]

So there's been 4 total sell outs this season so far? Including the opening date.... Or am I not remembering correctly?

I don’t think the first party sold out this year??

I checked my notes too, there are only 3 confirmed Sold Out parties to date:

Sunday, 9/22 Sold Out on 9/22
Friday, 9/27 Sold Out on 9/24
Sunday, 9/29 Sold Out on 9/25

All these years I've never noticed which day of the week, I was more focused on the actual date and discounts being offered. This year September has a bit of a pattern; Sunday, Friday, Sunday.

I think you hit the nail in the head with locals coming on the weekends for F&W and parties using the pass. But, MNSSHP Passholders do not have to purchase tix in advance. So, the sellouts are entirely based on individual ticket purchases, not Passes which get into the party even when sold out.

Are they still selling the Party Pass? I felt like it contributed to the higher number of guests this year. The low park crowds made me believe it wasn’t a FD/Hurricane thing.

Any ideas on what it is?

* I probably should have wrote locals and/or the Party Pass on that previous post.

We'll be in Orlando Oct 7-11 and looking to go to a party either Tues or Thurs. Weather shows a 30%-50% chance of rain Tues and 30%-40% chance Thurs, depending on which forecast I look at. I realize it's still far out, but I am anxious to purchase tickets so I can arrange some fast passes and to make sure we get them in case of a sell out. Which date would you pick? And, should I pick Today or wait until Tuesday (which is the next chance I'll have to buy)?

I would personally think that is too far out to look at weather accurately. I know you want to book FP+, but if you purchase your MNSSHP tickets for the desired date and ultimately decide you want to switch because of weather, Disney should accommodate you in changing the tickets as long as you pay the price difference (if there is one) and the new day is not sold out.

I don't know if you can still purchase the Party Pass, according to Disney they were "available in limited quantities". LINK

I wonder if this experiment will be available during MVMCP as well as next years parties. Even if it is locals boosting the crowd levels, no one wants to be packed in.

How do FP work for those with the Party Pass, it was launched just before the first party so at 30 or 60 day window those attending in October who are not staying at a resort would get slim pickings? I haven't been monitoring the rides.

I was at the first party this year and didn't see a sign saying it was sold out. (I was at the first party last year and I did see a sign saying it was sold out.)

I didn’t think it did either and @monique5 (who is very good at tracking this) doesn’t have it noted on page 1. But between these and tracking the After Hours event sell outs I sometimes mix things up in my memory!

OP had posted sold old 1st party which typically sells out. However, not listed on WDW website or other sources I use. Only 3 sold out parties which are listed on Post #1 with the dates they sold out on.

This is very interesting! I wonder if it acts like a MK AP for FP+?!. At the same time, how many non-APs have purchased the pass that can test it? I would think if you're down there enough to buy a MNSSHP pass, you may also be an AP.

As a follow-up to my previous post, I purchased the MNSSHP ticket for 29-Sept on Undercover Tourist even though WDW was showing the party was sold out. Very sadly, I just got an email from Undercover Tourist that my order was canceled. When I spoke with the agent, she indicated that they were unable to sell the tickets because Disney has already "oversold" the party for that night already and won't allow UT to sell the tickets. I pleaded if there was anything that could be done, but alas not. Sounds like it will be a crowded night, so maybe for the best, but I sure will be bummed to be missing all the festivities!

I purchased our party tickets this morning but don't see them on my MDE. I think I recall someone else posting about this and being told that they have to look for them somewhere else? But my memory is apparently not great! LOL

I purchased mine yesterday. They didn't show up at first, but now when I click on tickets and passes in MDE they are there. I just have to swipe left. We are on a package...so I don't know if that makes a difference. They might take a bit to show up.

Feeling stupid but where do I find the "tickets and passes"? I just see "my plans", "magic bands", "get fast pass" etc

It sounds like you are viewing in the browser. Click on my plans and then If you scroll down you will start to see your daily itinerary, just above that there is a link that says Tickets and memory maker they should be listed there.

Thank you I found it! and as many times as I've been on there I never even saw that it said tickets in that area.

Just an FYI, UT has September 27th listed as sold out on their site.

What's Interesting is UT doesn't have 9/22 party as Sold Out even though we all know it did.

How long are the waits for Jack and Sally? Daughter loves that movie and we are dressing up in Nightmare Before Christmas costumes. Just don't want to blow the whole day there. Met at Christmas party and got in line around 4, was done around 5:15. Is that about right?

Hmmm...I wonder if the 22nd isn't listed as sold out because it wasn't sold out too far in advance, like the 27th was sold out a few days ahead and UT didn't have time to change it on their site? I don't know when the 22nd was sold out, did it sell out on the actual party date?

Or do the sellers like UT get an inventory amount ahead of time that they can sell and Disney considers those dates as "sold"? So maybe it could be like the poster last night who couldn't get tickets though Disney, but UT had them available? It would be interesting to know how that works.

Got my tickets for October 8. Let's hope it's not too bad.

Got my plan figured out. Costumes selected. All ready to go!

They start meeting at 430 during MNSSHP and the line begins forming around 3 (by those who are AP, DVC or also have a day pass). If you have only a party ticket head there immediately. Your wait may be a bit longer than at MVMCP, but you’ll be done long before the official start of the party. Have fun!!
