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

[Brandon Routt]

DD wants to see Pooh & friends so where’s the nearest popcorn stall that would sell the Oogie Boogie bucket AFTER that meet and greet (if aiming to be near the front of the line about 5.30pm or so)?

Thanks

I got mine just outside of the circus area

My wife and I, went to the 09/21 MNSSHP event (Friday night). We got there at 5:30, just in time for our BOG 5:45 reservation. The BOG meal was amazing, and we got to sit in the west wing, by the photo of the beast. My wife loved it. We finished our dinner and met Beast by 7 pm for the official event. We then met Donald and Daisy. We had a 40 minute wait to meet them, but they were great, and it was great getting pics with both of them together.

Then we started to get into a trick-r-treat line, and were told we were cutting into a line. We then saw the line was like another 50 people farther than we thought. We decide to ride the under the sea ride (walkon) and then walk to the dessert party. On the way to the dessert party, we went through trick-r-treat lines in tomorrow land, with little to no waits. The cm's by the monsters inc area were yelling candy all night long to get people to join the line there. It really was amazing seeing the variance in lines for the different trick-r-treat locations.

We then went to the dessert party and really enjoyed all the food but the cheeseburger spring rolls were our favorites.
We had booked the dessert party when it still included the parade viewing spot. So when we were full, we asked cast member to escort us to the flag pole to watch the parade. The parade location was perfect! (attaching photo of parade from our spot)

After the parade, we walked through the shops and then went to reserved garden party spot for fireworks. After the fireworks we explored the parks some and road BTMRR. We also got the light up tangled photo op. And of course we did enough trick-r-treat stops to fill our bags.

The park definitely felt crowded, but we had done the DAH party the night before so rides were not super important, and we just wanted to experience the Halloween stuff (fireworks & parade).

Great review, thank you so much for sharing!!

May I ask what time you arrived at the flagpole to get that parade view down main street?

We are attending the 10/14 party and I still can’t decide where to watch the parade from. It will be me, DD (8), DS (11) and my godmother. The plan is the catch the fireworks, 2nd parade then Hocus Pocus. I originally thought we would grab a bite to eat at Casey’s and sit there but after someone posted a great pic of the view I think i’ve Changed my mind. Help!!

I think we got there between 8:50 and 9 for the 9:15 parade. Since we had eaten at BOG we didn't need to stay at the dessert party for too long.

Im curious, were there still plenty of pins/shirts ect available at the last party? We are going on the 12th and want to make sure they still have merch

 

[mgellman]

so we've got a Monday 10/8 party and a Thursday 10/11 party. What's the consensus as to which parade? I hear some say, "1st parade because character lines, ToT, etc are so much shorter later in the evening" but others say, "Do the 2nd parade because 1st parade is very crowded and you'll lose time having to stake your spot early"

 

[IheartRapunzel]

Here’s my costume!! I’m sure this has been asked before but what time do they start letting you in with costumes?

 

[TheDisneyNurse]

My party date's coming up!! Just 4 days away! And I'm very happy to have added a second October 14th. I'll be attending the 10/14 party with my friend, to celebrate her new job. This is the first time I'll be attending so close to halloween. I'm expecting bigger crowds, and a whole lot of fun

Just leaving MK for the day and they didn’t let party folks in until 3:55 today.

Thank you! Do you recall what time the HH rode by the area?

Thank you! Do you recall what time the HH rode by the area?

The pics I took from my phone contained meta-data that reported the HH went by at 9:11 pm when the pic was taken.
And then zootopia and then official start of parade.

Here now Friday, 9/28, five families back at 6:45 for Belle and Gaston. Would have been first but no one could quite figure out where the line started. It starts over by the popping machine treat cart.

Sorry if this has been answered - does Fairytale Hall stay open during the party? Are the wait times for the princesses long? Thanks so much

I was just talking to a friend who went last week. She said it was open but Elena wasn’t with Cinderella. She was pretty bummed. Not sure if that was just a fluke or if she’s typically not there. I hadn’t heard that before.

 

[IheartRapunzel]

Does anyone know where to meet Rapunzel at the party?

We were there today. They still have the boxed and framed pin sets (both pricey) Hocus Pocus and Stitch are both sold out.

If anyone is coming for more than just the party...... we spent the day at mk and it was so not crowded. At 5ish they were running half empty trains on big thunder.

We went over and got dinner at food and wine when the party started. People just seem afraid of mk on party days and it is so great!

 

[FoxC63]

We also did the 9/21 party, ( @FoxC63 we were told that the Stitch pin is sold out from CM's at Emporium, Frontierland and also the Big Top).

Biggest piece of advise for everyone: Wait till later to ToT. The lines were very long from 7pm-~8:30ish, but after 9 or so they were very short and at 10:30 they were complete walk-throughs with no wait at all!


We did get the HH Magic Shot at 12:15. A little bit of advise here - there are 3 photographers doing this, the 2 on either end had lines because they were closest to the exits, the one in the middle had no line and ALSO has the best angle of the Train Station being dead on center. Got on the bus back to resort after a short 5 min wait.

Where are you going after the Pooh M&G? There is a stand by Liberty Tree Tavern.



There's also one by Dumbo but that's in a different direction from your itinerary.
