The resort link seemed to just be for Halloween itself. Do you know if there are any other festive things happening during the season at the resorts? We are going in September.There are some same day tickets. Resorts have trick or treating and special events as well.

One year my mom got sick the day of the party. My dad stayed at the hotel to take care of her. We gave away both tickets that night.Wow! This seems to contradict quite a bit of what's been posted in this thread.. (not saying anyone is wrong, maybe they're doing things a bit different this year than in years past). The parts that stood out to me were:
"Once special event party tickets are sold out the only way to get a ticket is if you visit the ticket window at Magic Kingdom Park sometime during the day to see if any more spots have opened up or if someone gifts one to you."
and
"The other thing you can do is check the website (after midnight or early in the morning) and/or call the New Ticket number daily to see if more spots have opened up. Usually, there are some last-minute opportunities. By the way, as of August 6, 2023, in the wee hours of the morning, I was able to see tickets available for August 29, 2023. [August 29 was the date the question poster asked about getting tickets for even though it was sold out]"
1. Could you imagine if someone gifted you a ticket?!
2. I wonder why some extra inventory gets released in the "wee hours of the morning"
I’m gonna be a little more blunt- PlanDisney has a well deserved rep for giving out wrong information. Never use them as a source.Tbf, even though PlanDisney is an accredited Disney group, it isn’t known for having the most accurate info.
As if. Dollars to donuts they saw an IT glitch and all the rest was an assumption from there2. I wonder why some extra inventory gets released in the "wee hours of the morning"
I just cancelled a reservation for 8 for the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party during the Halloween Party for the night of September 12th if anyone was looking for that night. We decided we didn’t want to give up 2 hours of party time.
I don’t think a party only ticket can purchase. But not 100% sure…. I’m hoping someone can chime in.I’m not sure I’m following. You had a daytime park ticket and still couldn’t purchase? I’ve always purchased from my resort at 7AM. Can you only do that if you’re staying on site?
Edit to add: would it be possible to buy a 3:20 ILL slot in the morning (with a party ticket) and then show up at 4 and just barely make it to the end of the 4pm return window?
Honestly I did too, I thought they were going to have treats from around the park during the dessert party. It would have been nice to pay a flat price and be able to try the party treats. I've heard kinda mixed things about the offerings this year but that's about it. I'm going two nights to the party, so while I could lose 2 hours, that feels like a lot of time for dessert.
When i was watching a livestream they went thru there and there was a cartoon on that looked like Mr. Toad.Does anyone happen to know if things at Philharmagic are the same during the party as they have been in other years (trick or treat stop with Halloween-y shorts playing)?
No, I think it may have been less crowded because they want the bloggers to show the party at its very best, and have positive reports from the first few parties encourage more people to buy for the rest of the parties.So since many of the bloggers had that pre-party before the party and were invited to the party and didnt pay for tickets, do you think Friday's party may have been more crowded than a normal sold out party?
I didn't notice on the app, no. But they had a plethora of the Blue Umbrellas out and I did get a return time of 6:30 (from 6pm) for the Haunted Mansion so I know you can get DAS return times during that hour. If it's gone from the app, just look for the blue umbrellas.Thank you, I figured as much. We have done the regular fireworks dessert party lots of times, but was hoping for more unique MNSSHP stuff at the dessert party rather than the regular fireworks party treats. From what I can ascertain, there won’t be much difference between what is served at the 2 types of dessert parties. But, no, outside the dessert party, none of them would be available at MNSSHP.
Also, thanks for the DAS info. Did you happen to notice if the DAS tile disappeared between 6 and 7, i.e., between park closing and MNSSHP official start? We ran into this at an After Hours this summer, so just trying to prepare.
Really? I found ‘19 suffocating crowd wise and ‘22 to be like half as many people despite the fact it went sold out a few weeks before arrival. I was so upset after ‘19 actually that I only returned because a friend wanted to go in ‘22. Had such a good time last year I’m trying again this year!In 2019 I bought day of tickets for MNSSHP. I don’t remember if it was sold out or not. I don’t think it was. We have gone every year since 2014, I love this party!
It has become more crowded every year since I started going! We will e there on 9/4/23. Yay

This part reminds me of the 2018 party, only it wasn't during or after parades or fireworks, there were just random crushes of crowds moving through. At one point we got stuck going against the flow, it was so bad we were pushed up against the rail along the side of the path not being able to move and my mom started having a panic attack. I've never seen crowds like that before, definitely was not safe by any means.I went to the opening party in 2019 and I was absolutely shocked by how many more people were in it compared to 2013. I've heard the crowds are way better, I would argue the crowds in 2019 were hazardous since there were times I couldn't even walk past certain sections during parades. Like there were so many people that there was no way through sections, I had to take weird routes to maneuver around people.
