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

[SnowWhite2000]

It was offered to those who booked the dessert party when the website was (mistakenly) including parade viewing in the party description. It has since been removed, as it was never intended to be offered, but Disney made right for those that booked before they realized their mistake.

Thank you, I was so confused.

I’m a little nervous Space Mtn. is at 30 minutes with the 1st parade going on. Could be skewed by SDMT being down but I thought it’d be a shorter wait.

How do you get access to the reserved area for the parade?

You had to have booked the Hallowishes dessert party before they changed the description including parade viewing.

Unconfirmed rumor from the Stitch line: the Oogie Boogie popcorn buckets were sold on a cart in Liberty Square but are already sold out. I repeat, this is an unconfirmed rumor.

Elvis (Stitch) has left the building. I thought coming during the parade would be a good idea but he went on break. No cast member in here to tell us when he will be back.

Update: he has returned.

I wonder if they're limiting them because it's the first party and it's packed with bloggers?

I asked Tom Corless on twitter and got a response from WDWNT that there’s an allotment for each party.

Do you thank that is for all of the exclusive items, or just the popcorn buckets? It's still a LONG time before our mid October party.

The reserved area for the parade goes all around the flagpole area; tons of room. All roped off as reserved. My phone isn’t letting me post my “too big” photo.

Oh my gosh! This is great news! I'm so glad I reinstated our dessert party reservations after the website snafu! Thank you SO much for posting all of the dessert party information.

If you have a chance, please let us know what it is like to do the parade, then head over to the dessert party for the fireworks. We will be there next Friday and I wasn't planning on getting to the party until after the 1st parade, but I'm a little concerned about seating. Thank you SO much for taking the time to post about your experience!

Is the seating for the Hallowishes Terrace Party pre assigned or are you able to select your own table?

For those who are there tonight, did anyone notice what time they did the switch-over for the special Halloween lighting/sound effects for PoTC, Tea Party and Space? I was planning on being at PoTC right at 7 pm to experience the special MNSSHP pirates, but would love to do it earlier if they switch over sooner. Thanks for any info!

It is not preassigned here. They take you in, pick a table for you, and then put a reserved sign on it so you can leave if you want.

In our experience, 15-20 minutes is the “normal” party wait for Space. Tonight being a sold out party, and with the new special effects, this seems quite reasonable!

I gave up our dessert party reservation, but still curious to see how it works out timing wise. We watched the parade around Town Square last year and I have a pic of the last float going by at 9:53pm. That means you pretty much need to head straight to the Tomorrowland Terrace pretty quickly. Hope it all works out for everyone.

Does anyone know the price of the Hocus Pocus spirit Jersey from the party?

I’m hoping to get desserts before the first parade, watch the parade, then head back for fireworks. We don’t go until 10/25 though.

So, as we were leaving, I noticed that part of the inner courtyard was “double reserved” for something. But the entire outer ring was reserved for us parade/fireworks folks.

Ok, I posted on this or the strategies thread, can’t remember, that I was concerned there wouldn’t be enough food when we arrive after the 1st parade. Hahahaha. It’s beautiful. So much food out. So good. Ooey gooey toffee cake, others have posted stuff.

Specifically about getting to the terrace after the 1st parade- a cast member escorts you. As the tables are not preassigned, it is good to be up front with the cast member so you are one of the early families coming.

Do you mean when you first check in it’s good to be up front?

Did you check in early for the parade or just show up?

Halowishes from the Poly beach.
Beautiful weather for the first party!

Blog Minnie's twitter post has that one at $59.99. I have my eye on that one too!

 

[greg9x]

Only 5000 other people had the idea to go on Pirates after the fireworks... The reduced bridge to Adventure Land was insane.

I asked Tom Corless on twitter and got a response from WDWNT that there’s an allotment for each party.

This makes me hopeful I can snag a lot of the merchandise (including the Hocus Pocus passholder bag).

Perhaps I should prioritize picking up items I want very early in the party (Sept 9). What time was the merchandise actually available to purchase?
