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

[Bex258]

I

I think so. My kids will be too tired to stay past 10, and I'd like to experience that morning pre-rope drop ADR magic.

Did you know about the change allowing all guests to get into Main Street early? Not that you can't enjoy the pre-rope drop magic but it may not be as quiet. Just incase you wanted near empty Castle pics.

Wow they are lovely. I wanted to get new suitcases but I've had bad luck with my international flights. I think both my New York trips were fine but Orlando last time I borrowed my dads fabric suitcase and it was slashed (not sure why I had a TSA lock on it) so had to get it taped up at the airport, couldn't claim because I didn't realise till I was packing to go home and didn't know if it was airport or hotel damage. It got lots of looks but it was easy to find on the carousel .
I bought a second suitcase in LA a big $99 plastic one and when I picked it up at the other end it had a massive crack in it. I should have complained. I might decorate my suitcase instead though.

Last time we bought suitcases we went on the cheap side and got those nesting ones (28", 25" and 21") and then DD age 4 it was perfect for her and DH made the best out of his 25" one. Now that DD is older we decided we should all have the large ones (more room for souvenirs too!)

I just bought my tickets online and I am experiencing the same difficulties as many others. The tickets are not showing up in MDE on desktop but do show up on mobile, however they are showing for 2016.

I'm sure they will have this sorted out within a few days.

 

[GrumpyGal43]

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 just bought my Halloween tickets today too and they're not showing up on my MDE either

If anyone has insight into this, we would really appreciate it as we would prefer to attend on a less crowded night, if there is such a thing anymore.

We went last year on Sunday 9/25 (it was a sold out party-last night for CM discount I think). It was lower priced than other nights but, I would opt for a Tuesday party from now on (this year we will probably go on a Tuesday night).

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.

You cannot get in the party entrances without scanning a party ticket. So the chances of scanning a regular ticket to get into the party waiting area/lines/wristband area is slim to none. If you come up to the tapstile with a band and the paper ticket, the CM will ask you to tap the band and ignore the paper ticket.

Has it corrected itself on MDE for any of you??

I am still having issues I have wrong party dates with 2016 year. I will give it until tomorrow then I shall call

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 asked this same question to the mom's panel... here's the response:

Can't you NOT book ADR however near party time if you do not have the NSSHP tickets on your MDE?

Last year they were themed here's what 2016 looked like:

Unfortunately, they weren't themed for the entire sales period - hopefully that'll change this year! I purchased my MNSSHP tickets on May 7th last year (just a few days after they went on sale) and received plain green ticket cards within a few weeks. The first report I saw of themed tickets was for an order placed in late June 2016.

anyone can book ADR as long as your within your 180 day window. +10 if onsite

The bold text is true, but one could accidentally enter through a regular entrance and have their regular park ticket used. This happened to my brother and SIL at their first MNSSHP because they didn't realize there was a separate entrance.

 

[AntJulie]

Will there be more MK Restaurant Dining times released now, that are bookable if we have tix?

Time will tell...should happen....when...who knows.

We had BOG reservation last year 6:20pm (had to have party tickets to keep this reservation)!

 

[ErinsMommy]

Anyone with "2016" issues, they're updating their system and per the words of a very friendly and knowledgeable CM, "dont believe what it says at this time".

Was there any info released on the Happy Hallowishes Dessert Party? Seems like last year, information for both tickets and the dessert party were released on the same day?

I am curious about this as well.

 

[efoote01]

Do the magic shot photographers usually have a long line? Trying to figure out if I should bother with the pre paid photo pkg

I've seen nothing yet on it. Or Club Villain. Or what dates discount tickets will be available. Seems Disney waited awhile to post even the party dates and either they weren't prepared for all the sales on day 1, or IT is at its usual finest so maybe everything else is on hold until they figure out how to fix what went wrong.

Most of the photographers can take magic shots, so just pick one and ask if they can. If not, move onto the next as there's plenty of them
