"Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

[ErinsMommy]

I was just minding my business at work. I felt something under my pants on my thigh and what felt like a bite. I went to slap at what I thought may have been a spider. I felt something bigger and with some "crunch". I grabbed it through my pants so it wouldn't sting me again and kind of threw it down out of my pants. Sure enough - a scorpion.

I have never felt a sting/bite that painful in my life and I grew up in the country.

August 29 is a Tuesday- 1st is a Friday
Does that mean Friday party would be busier because it's a Friday? Or doesn't matter because locals wouldn't go that early in the season??

Anyone find out about military discount ticket dates yet? I'm hoping for Oct 1st, but doubting it. I want to call so bad but I can't!

Got through! They're not available but this weekend they should be. They will email me the information and I'll post as soon as I get it.

My guess would be to say Friday the 1st will be busier.

Hello Disney Sages,
Technical question for you. If I have the party ticket linked to my magic band will it use up one of my park admission days if I enter the park with my magic band on? Should I just leave the magic band at the hotel take my paper tickets? We are going for 11 days and only have a 10 days pass but I wanted to use the party tickets as an extra day but I dont want to accidentally use up a park admission day getting into the party.

Thank you.

I can't decide what to do. I will be going to the Oct 17 and 22 parties and won't know if my daughter, who is doing the Disney College Program, has the nights off, in fact, she may even be working the party as we won't find out what her location will be until we go down in August. I can either just buy two for each night and be done with it and if she can't go give the extra ticket away (can you even do that anymore if the are assigned in MDE?) or buy one for each night and then wait to buy hers when we have more info in August. I know they don't sell out for months, the last time we went we bought them the night we flew in.

If anyone is curious of price increases from 16->17 with 2016 data taken from TouringPlans

Sep 2-20,25/Aug 25-Sep 12 $72/$67 -> $74/$69 (+2.7%)
Sep 29-30/Sep 29 $79/$74 -> $88/$83 (+10.2%)
Sep 23/Sep 22 $85/$80 -> $88/$83 (+3.4%)
Oct 2/Oct 1 $86/$81 -> $88/$83 (+2.3%)
Oct 6/Oct 5 $86/$81 -> $94/$89 (+8.5%)
Oct 4,10,11,13,16,18,20,23,25,27/Oct 3,9,10,12,17,19,24,26 $91/$86 -> $94/$89 (+3.2%)

There's probably some errors in there but you get the idea.

i see im not the only one -- a few here and on the MVMCP thread too. Going to be patient - or as patient as I can be, and by now I'm sure you all know that's not very HA, and wait until Friday and if not fixed I'll be making some calls.

My mother used to always tell me "Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace, and Grace is a little girl with ice cream on her face". Then she went and named her first (and only) daughter Grace, and now Grace is a teenager.....

Also although the rhyme is cute it didn't help any. My patience is terrible!!

Yay! I bought our tickets for Aug. 25th, no glitches and they are showing up correctly in MDE. I bought on my iPad, and print-at-home and will-call were the only options (no option to mail them), but that might be because I'm in Canada. They won't mail magic bands here. How do I make sure they don't charge us a day's entry on our MYW ticket when we arrive for the party? Do we just not scan our bands and show them the printed ticket?

 

[KELLY]

So I was thinking of purchasing tickets for September 1st. But now thinking the August date may be less crowded. Any suggestions? It has been at least 5 years since we did MNSSHP because we have been going in the middle of August and last year of course the party started later.

 

[Jays2013]

And we have tickets for Halloween! So excited!

Our tickets are also not showing up in the MDE site/app. They should be, right? I'd feel better if they were...

Yeah. I'm paranoid.

I didn't see there was someone else with the same issue but I do now. Wow, what a crazy mess. Sorry this is happening to you and the others.

I would say it would be best to leave your bands out of it and just try to use the paper tickets you print at home to get in. It sounds like the cases last year of the wrong tickets getting scanned through the bands were low but since you will have the paper tickets I would just use them and avoid any issues.

Since you are going to one of the earliest parties you have a duty to report back here with a detailed analysis of MNSSHP!!

That's just crazy! What did they do at the emergency room? Lastly, did you get the rest of the day off?

 

[GillianP1301]

I thought I read of others on the thread that have the same issue - wrong date/year? Thats why I wasn't so worried. If I'm the only, then I am.

It's definitely not just you, reading several people having this same issue. For me, my Aug 29 party shows up on computer and app correctly, my Sept 1 party is showing as 2016 on app and not at all on computer. Confirmation and print at home are correct for both. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the incorrect year on the Sept 1 party is likely why it's not showing at all on the computer. I'm still not worried and not even bothering to call it in at this point and sitting on it for a few days and watching it. I will eventually call in if it doesn't fix itself.

If I remember correctly, there are special entrances for the party where your band gets scanned and then you go into a line for the wristband. So to get that they will have to properly scan the park ticket.

Deal! Can't wait!

I think @Avalon_toon was saying they want to make sure a regular park admission isn't used if they scan into MNSSHP with their magic band. Using their paper ticket to scan into MNSSHP will eliminate this concern as the paper ticket isn't linked to the rest of the park tickets.

Whoop whoop! Just bought tix for 9/22!

I opted to go for shipped hard copies so that I can put it with DD's birthday gift announcement - Disney is her gift this year. I hope it's a cool card, and not a lame green one.

I also opted to buy them under a different MDE account. Can I transfer them to my regular MDE once I receive the hard copies? Ugh. Now I regret doing this.
