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

[lovingeire]

Hmmmm, interesting. Were they all in the same costumes that they wear during the Halloween party? And is only lunch and dinner times?

The costumes are different then the Halloween party. And yes, it is only for lunch and dinner. Disney Jr. in the am. We did this last year when a friend asked us to join her for a birthday dinner at the last minute. It was actually a lot of fun and way better than the last time I ate at H&V, which I had kind of sworn off after that experience. I booked it for this year so it was decent food and the character interaction was awesome!

Minnie was a witch, Donald a mad scientist, Goofy was a cowboy, and Mickey was a vampire. I'm pretty sure on the parade floats during the Halloween party I noticed Minnie was a fairy and Donald a pumpkin maybe? Not really sure what they were at the Party! And it is only lunch and dinner; it's Disney Jr. characters at breakfast. But if you book it through the Fantasmic dining package as we did, you get special seating for Fantasmic.

Here are a few pictures from the dinner last year. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they are all coming in sideways???? Help!)

Thank you for posting pictures of their costumes. I don't know how to make them straight but no worries, sideways makes them extra special.

Anyone at tonight’s party?

We were there. we had to leave after the first parade because grandsons were tired, even after a long afternoon nap. At 7 we were near Splash Mountain so we did that treat line, it moved fast. We then rode Haunted Mansion with a ten minute wait, and talked to Madame Carlotta, Next we did the did treat line in Country Bears which took longer, and Philharmagic,. We rode the Tea Cups with the only wait time being for the ongoing ride to end so we could board. We watched a little of Monsters Inc, Dance Party, then found a spot near the Liberty Square bridge about 8:30 to watch the parade. We left as soon as we could after the parade. Other than the bag of candy we got when we entered, we got a total of about 9/10 more pieces each! Not the handfuls grandsons were expecting! It was my first party, so I guess two rides, watching a dance party, three treat lines and the parade in 3 hours is average? I had been warned to lower my expectations of what we could get done, but after the rides nearly all being walk ons that morning, and again from 4-7, my hopes went up too much!

@yorkieteacher, We got a handful at each stop, but one (near BTM/TSI). That stop gave 2 pieces each and while we were there, a manager cm told those cm to make sure no one double dips.

Yeah we got one each at the end of Elvis Stitch. I thought it was funny...and stingy.

Madame Carlotta and Rinota (they traded off) and Butler Broome are on the lawn
Cadaver Dans are in Frontierland

Madame Carlotta called me very handsome and had a great interaction with me if we weren’t so budgeted for time I’d stay longer she’s a hoot

Oh, that sounds fun... Are there certain times they're there, or do the trade off so someone's always there?... I assume they start at 7pm?

And... one last question... is it better to visit that area when it's dark?
My current plan has us hitting Haunted Mansion right around 7pm. I'm wondering if it would be a better experience when it gets dark.

Thanks!

One of the photos near the Haunted Mansion - the one where you hold a lantern - doesn’t start until dark. But when they did my photos, the photos were so dark you couldn’t even tell it was me.

Can we pretend that I've read through the entire thread and didn't find my answer... I need some insight on how the following situation works:

This is an "off" year for Disney visits for our family, so we planned our first Universal visit for 9/25-9/29.
Of course upon noticing there was a MNSSHP on 9/27, we could not help ourselves and will be attending. (have not yet purchased the tickets)

Question:
Can we use our Magic Bands from our previous visit to access the MNSSHP tickets and, more importantly, photo pass?
We plan to buy the one day photo pass, but would like the ride pictures if possible, which I don think are available if we just pick up a card from a photographer.

Every other time we've been to party it was in the middle of a WDW visit, so all of this was seamless. Thanks in advance for the help.

You can use your old Magic Bands to enter the park if you enter the mnsshp tickets info into your MDE account.

But Magic Bands start dying after 2 or 3 years and won’t work for ride photos. If your magic bands are old you could buy one new magic band, enter the magic band info into your mde account, assign the magic band in your mde account to someone in your group who will be at mnsshp, and make sure one of your group going on each ride is wearing the magic band.

Yes, you can use MBs from previous visit and they will work for ride photos. If they are more than a couple of years old, make sure to tap your pic when you exit since the long range feature may not work so great. Photo pass photographers will work perfectly, they scan your MB.

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

I love your shirts!

I think they are there most if not all night. The two madames trade off and they interact with those watching and on the que for Haunted Mansion. Personally I’d recommend going over once it is dark for the most Halloween feel in the dark. Also I’m not sure if they do the magic shots while it is still light out and if they do if they look as good (perhaps someone else can comment). They have the hearse driver and Zero from Nightmare before Christmas in addition to the Hat Box one another poster mentioned.

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.

This year PhotoPass is offering a special deal for MNSSHP guests. The One Day Memory Maker is $10 off, plus you get a free 8x10. You need to stop in at Town Square to purchase this. They will give you a photoPass card (as many as you need). Every time you get your photo taken make sure the photographers scan this card.

If you have a MagicBand the CM will make sure everything is linked and you are good to go!

Also all photos during the party and locations can be found on the Magic Shot thread, here's the link:

You both honestly made my day thank you so much

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.

YES. This has been done. You can even ask the characters to hold half of the sign while you hold the other. I recommend you get this done early on so you can discard the sign and not have to carry it with you every where. Have a great time!

 

[FoxC63]

Is anyone able to offer advice on this plan? Thank you.

8:45 Gravediggers - This might be tight. CM's will close down the line as they do leave for the parade.
9:00 Photos on Main Street.
9:20 Meet Mickey. Then check in for Cruella's
9:50 Line up for fireworks
10:30 Headless Horseman magic shot, then Cruella's
11:15 report to flagpole for parade
11:45 meet Minnie (will we be able to make it to this?) - Parade ends at 11:50 so if you're willing to miss some of the parade this can work.
Finish at Cruella's

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Minnie meets after 1130? Her line, goofys line, grave diggers, wasn’t long to be honest daisy and Donald had a huge line.
