"Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

[GADisneyDad14]

I fly out tomorrow for my trip! Can't wait. Although I'm giving the five day forecast the stink eye, as it is saying to expect thunderstorms on Friday night before midnight. I'll be doing all of the earlier shows, just in case the rain prevents later shows. My goal is to see Hocus Pocus all three times, if at all possible.

Do the new fireworks still go on if it's raining?

It's it's a heavy rain and/or thunderstorm, they will likely be delayed, but will eventually go off at some point when the weather clears.

LOL Maybe if we both give it the stink eye it'll go away! I did the same thing this morning when I read the forecast for Friday night. Hoping for the best, but I'll even be happy if rain keeps the crowds away!

You can also add:
Tomorrowland - Astro Orbiter It has been undergoing refurbishment since August and will reopen on Sept 20th. Not sure why this was never corrected on Page 1.
This ride has been down prior to the first party.

Whoa just tried booking resort stay for 2nd week of Oct. 10/3-10/8 and there is very little available! TP shows low to mid crowd levels so why is there so little resort availability.

Their crowd level is wrong

I was going to make a Fairy Godmother costume. I was planning on keeping the cape portion mid-thigh for comfort. Am I correct that it will need to be waist length?

I read all of the details on the first page but still curious, if we don’t go into the park until 4pm do we just need our MNSSHP ticket, or do we need a separate admission ticket for the day as well?
Also, do I need to purchase a magic band to be able to get the photos that night because we won’t be staying on site but I want a MM for that day.

I saw people wearing Jedi robes to the floor.

We taped my son's cape to shorten it. It was longer than waist. We didn't go on any rides that night. He had thoughts of Edna Mode's warnings.

Try playing around with dates. My hunch is that it is the end of that timeframe that is busiest. We went around that time a couple years ago and crowds ramped way up as Columbus Day approached.

We’ve had success during a parade or directly following fireworks. You can also search “this thread only”... I haven’t done well paying attention to the times near the start.

Your MNSSHP ticket gets you in the park at 4, you don't need a separate day ticket.

Sorry I can't help with the MB and photopass thing. I have had my MNSSHP ticket added to my account so I can use my MB for entrance and photos.

Character photo question--next year I am bringing my nephew to MNSSHP. I am going this year as usual. If I brought a small, white sign (12x12) that says, "See you next year, Josh" will I be allowed to hold it up when they take the photo? He was bummed he couldn't come this year and I could email the photo to him.

We attended the Sept. 6th party. It was our first one and it was amazing!!!
-Arrived at 3:45 and went right in line to Jack and Sally. Was done at 4:45 and I was surprised by how short the line was after us.
-We were dressed as Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, and Priscilla the Sloth. When we left the M&G Judy was right outside Town Square theatre watching the Move It, Shake It parade. When they saw my son as Nick she grabbed him and watched the end of the parade together and then brought him over to see Nick Wilde. It was like a personal M&G and it was the highlight of the night.
-We went and got our bags and did a photo op at 5:05.
-Went to meet Moana, taking our time on the way. We were finished at 6:04.
-Grabbed dinner at Peco's Bill.
-Still had time before the overlays started so we went and got our SOTK card and did some photos.
-Hopped on POC. My son loved the overlay.
-Ran in to Brair Rabbit.
-Haunted Mansion was about a 5 minute wait.
-Did a couple TOT spots and once my son figured that we could do that it was game over and it was all he wanted to do.
-Grabbed seats for the parade at 8:40 across from the Emporium and there was a lot of open spots.
-They grabbed my son to lead the pre-parade Zootopia dance party with Judy Hopps and he was ecstatic.
-Loved the parade and then we walked right down and got spots right by the partner statue for the fireworks. Those were pretty awesome.
-Rode the teacups and then it was TOT time.
-Meet Goofy because he had no line at 10:50. By then we decided to start heading out.
-On the way to the exit we walked past the Zootopia parade and they grabbed my son again to dance with Nick and he hasn't stopped talking about it. My Disney mom heart was all choked up seeing how happy he was.

It was very low crowds so I think we got spoiled but we had an absolute blast!!! The cast members were all so amazing with us.

At the party now. From 4-6:45 we have done the following rides: Mine Train, Splash Mt, Haunted Mansion, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Pooh, Pirates, Thunder Mt, and Barnstormer. 2 bathroom breaks and 2 snack stops. Multiple photo pass stops too.

So my mom bought our party tickets so they wouldn’t be on mine to prevent mix ups and we have done the past few years and received the hard copy cards but when she came over today she brought the printed ticket....I remember seeing this discussed but can’t for the life of me find it, but how do these work for fast passes? Do we need to go to guest service and get a card when we arrive?

If anybody lives near a Weis Markets grocery store, check out the selection of reusable grocery bags. They would be great for trick or treating at MNSSHP. They will be at the register, but the store also might have displays before the register or someplace after the register which you normally would only see after you have checked out. Selection varies widely by store. Sometimes it's just the store brand. Sometimes the bags have Disney characters or Marvel characters. And sometimes they have Star Wars characters. I saw this today. If I were going to MNSSHP later this year I would have purchased it. I didn't measure it in the store, but I have similar ones at home. They are 13" wide, 15" tall and 6" deep.

I wish we had one of these stores! That bag is fun!

No, there are a few that are not open. These are the ones I know of for sure:
Jungle Cruise
Country Bear Jamboree
Mickey's PhilharMagic
Enchanted Tales with Belle
Carousel of Progress

Tiki Room is also closed during party.
