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

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

NO, this is NOT true. Magic Shot Photographers are specially trained. They are situated at specific locations during party night for the Halloween Magic Shots. The thing to remember is that they can do more than one Magic Shot IF asked and they usually will do this IF the lines aren't long.

I was thinking more of the basic magic shots that are done throughout the park, not the Halloween ones. But good to know certain Halloween magic shots are only done in specific locations.

I suppose since they didn't announce the sale for party tickets starting before they opened up that the same will be the case for the Hallowishes Dessert Party. Could they not have just released it at the same time if for no other reason than my sanity?

Those basic ones are still done only by Magic Shot Photographers.

Ha! They need to release the entire month of September

I've never come across a photographer that couldn't do it

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.

I don't have MBs on my second account. I need to know whether when I receive my hard tickets if I can add them to my main MDE.

Yes you can assign your tickets to ANY account. And you don't need Magic Bands to enter the party you just need the party ticket.

@IrishNYC
Also the confirmation # you received was just a confirmation of purchase. Once you get the plastic tickets in the mail there is a 12 digit code that you will need to assign to whomever is going. It does NOT matter which account you use.

Are you sure about this? The tickets I purchased this morning are on an MDE account with me as the account holder with one ticket, and two more tickets assigned to DH and DD. I want to be able to assign the hard tickets to the three of us on my primary MDE so that I can book FPs when my 60 day window opens, not 30 days before the party with my second MDE account.

Can someone else answer this for me?

Well crap, that probably explains why it wasn't done at the same time as the party tickets themselves. I'll just go back to waiting ever so impatiently. While they're at it, I'm waiting on the Star Wars Tours for August.

Ha! I have at Epcot I asked if he could do the tinker bell and he said sure, it never showed up. I had his name and went to a female photographer and asked her about it and she said he's not trained.

I've had magic shots not show up before but when I called MM they usually found them. I know epcot had the balloons and something else - Tink may be MK specific

I've heard before that for regular photopass magic shots (Not MNSSHP ones) that the photographers who are using tripods generally can't do any Magic Shots.

I have found that to be true when asking in the park. Now, during the MNSSHP it seemed like most of the special ones were set up using tripods.

We got Tink in France, in front of the fountain.

I forgot we also got Tink in AK completely by accident. We're standing there pointing at the floor for Stitch, and there's Tinkerbell over our heads.

HA they've done that to us as well.

She did Tink in my hand, wings on my back and chip in my hands. I wish I remembered her name because she was really wonderful.

Tentative plan for the moment: Wait see if Military discounts are extended into Oct, if so buy from SoG. If not buy a $500 giftcard from Sam's for $480 to cover the painful $495 ticket price.

I saw this info regarding military discounts on a group I'm in so I thought I'd share. It's not official or fro my normal "source", so take it with a grain of salt.

"The dates for military discounted Halloween and Christmas parties are as follows (the list is not long unfortunately):

MNSSHP:
August 25, 29
September 1, 7, 10, 12, 17, 24

Adults- $51.80
Children- $48.30

MVMCP:
November 9, 12, 14, 16"

These are pretty limited. Seems they are more limited each year, but I guess with the steep discount that makes sense. At least there are more Halloween parties due to the early start.

Now I just gotta find out if California CMs are eligible for discounted party tickets (i.e. at the Company D store in Anaheim), or if those are restricted to FL-based CMs only...
