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

[Erica_Haley]

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.

As Mckennarose answered, the MNSSHP ticket gets you into the park at 4pm, no regular park ticket needed.
No magic band is needed either. I don't have a magic band, so I went to the ticket counter at the Transportation and Ticket Center before getting on the monorail. She asked for my confirmation number and gave me a plastic ticket. The plastic ticket I was able to use for entry, scanning for fast passes, and photographers scanned the ticket for whatever photos I had taken. All the photos showed up on MDE with no issues!

sorry if this has been asked a million times but 250 pages of thread is a lot!
what time are people starting to wait in line for moana? anyone had a lot of success later in the party?

We met Moana right after watching the first parade from outside of Pecos Bills..walked right to the tiki room and had a 5 min wait! Yay! We did attend 8/30 which was a low crowd day

this sounds great, you did many of the things I hope to be able to do! I can't wait!!
Maybe a silly question ... those of you going to the party and have FP ... how did you get them? I only have tickets to the party (no park tix / not a passholder ... literally just flying in for the party). Can I link those tickets to my account to get FP early ?

Yeah, we linked the tickets to our account and were able to make the fast passes. Note: they only do FPs until 6pm, so if you're only doing the party that day, you'll only be able to make them for the 4-6pm window (you'll probably be able to make them for earlier in the day, but obviously, you wont be able to use them.)

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?

The cape for my Darth Goofy costume was just above my knees and I was not approached about it at all. You should be good, unless you run into a CM having a bad day.

We got in line for Moana around 6ish and had about a 40 minute wait for her. There weren't a whole lot of people behind us, and there wasn;t much of a line when we went past later in the evening, so I think you'll be okay showing up later. Sounds like Jack and Sally were the ones that stayed long all party (didn't go by the Dwarfs, so I don't know how that line was at all).

9:04 pm: got in line for stitch. Line started right at entrance to building. 40 minutes earlier it wrapped around outside.
9:16: Stitch went on a break.
9:17: Returned from fastest break ever.
9:24: I estimate maybe a dozen groups or couples in front of us.
9:33: Done

These wait times (according to the app) are glorious. Hoping the chill crowds remain into next week.

This may have been asked and answered already but...
Are you able to purchase event merchandise during the party and have it sent to your hotel as you can during regular park hours?

 

[Best Aunt]

Someone asked about purchasing event merch during the party and having it sent to your hotel. I don't know, but my guess is the answer might be different based on whether you purchase it in a store or at a cart.

Our priority for the next party is Jack Sparrow, Donald and Daisy, Minnie, the grave diggers.

What times or order do you all think would be best? We're only staying til 10pm.



It was perfect for going on rides. Low waits the whole night.

Can you actually meet the gravediggers? They are part of the parade right? Sorry if that’s a dumb question (haven’t been to a party yet).

Yes , they are meeting at the gazebo.

Went last night and I’m not one to say the parties are crowded as I usually say I think it’s all perception but last night was PACKED

 

[tlmadden73]

Not actually a Halloween party question but:

If NOT going to the Halloween party, what are some fun Halloween-related activities to do in the WDW resort?

While the party looks fun, I think my kids are still too young to make it worth it (would be staying up way too late), but would love to do/see some Halloween-related things. Last year, at Christmas, we didn't do that party, but there was still plenty of decorations to see in each park, special shows (like the Frozen Sing-Along with Christmas additions, or the Jingle Cruise).

I felt the complete opposite!

Except you can actually make them for 3:30-4:30, 4:30-5:30, 5:30-6:00. You then have to move along a bit for the first one, but it is definitely doable.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Normally I’d probably agree as I don’t find it crowded like everyone always does but last night was absolutely crowded....agree to disagree

Unless you will be there ON Halloween, you will not see any Halloween type activities or decorations at the resorts, unfortunately. On the 31st all resorts will offer something - games, trick or treating, special characters - and will vary by location.

ETA - Minnie’s Holiday Dine at HS will have the fab 5 in Halloween costumes at lunch and dinner and last year DS had some fun photo backdrops.

I was watching while my team got candy it’s a LONG time Gaston is very very personal with his people.
