I think they should have done a variation of Club Villain, forget the show and desserts a queue and meet Curella, Evil Queen, Maleficent, Red Queen and Dr Facilier and maybe even Hades and Oogie Boogie and Hook, since they appear in the show. They could charge $30-$40 to keep the queues down. Easy money for Disney and Villain's fans are happy.
Anyone know if you can pick up the special sorcerers of the magic card at 4:00 or have to wait until after 7:00?
Is there any update on how FP+ are working? I want to make sure I won't have my last day cancelled.
That's pretty awesome! Very clever!We decided LATE to go to the 9/17 party.
I wanted to wear something to the party, but wanted to keep it very simple.
I found this t-shirt on Etsy really cheap, free delivery.
I think I'm done for about $16.
Looking forward to the party!!!
As soon as you get your band.Anyone know if you can pick up the special sorcerers of the magic card at 4:00 or have to wait until after 7:00?
I'm not sure if they have a particular spot, but they were randomly singing to people in Frontierland as they lined up for the second parade.Does anyone know where the Cadaver Dans appear in Frontierland?

They were really great and it was pouring rain on them at one point. They didn't miss a beat!Oh great, thank you! I'm really looking forward to them!
Which party are you attending? We are doing 11/1, our first party. We don't plan on doing the characters, mainly rides, candy, treats, and shows. I am still trying to decide which parade to do. The last one seems pretty late, and we would end up with a big gap before it. We are doing AM EMH at Epcot the next morning, so I'm thinking of hitting the earlier parade. Decisions, decisions. I need to decide some stuff soon. I have to do our FP+ on 9/1. I'm just not getting into polishing my detailed plans right now. Actually, not really motivated to do much right now with all of this wind and rain. I guess I need to get out and go buy food though
Was anyone able to get in a ride line right before midnight, or did they cut off the lines prior?
Does anyone know if Goofy had a longer line than previous parties because of his costume change? Had to add him back into the plans now he has a new outfit.
Going Sept 17 too! Can't wait!!!!We're going Sept 17. We are doing a quick weekend trip because Brian's AP for Universal runs out on that Saturday. So we are going to do Universal with 2 HHN, then MNSSHP on Sunday, then a CM friend might be getting us into AK on Monday. Still searching for that FOP FP.
I highly recommend the first parade. I used to always recommend the second, then they changed the time to 11:15 for the last parade. That last hour of the party is just too good to spend it waiting and watching a parade. Lots of people head out after the fireworks.
My plan in the last few years has been to watch the first parade, a good last minute spot is right in front of the train station. For some reason people don't really line up there.
If you want my planning expertise (and I have had some A+ plans in the past)..
Are you going to be in MK before the party or just going for the party? If just going for the party, do fast passes at 3:15-4:15 and so on. Do rides or eat during that 4-7 time. Don't try to trick or treat early on in the party, all the lines are usually very long. Unless you see a short line, save that for later in the night. If you fill up bags, put them away in a backpack and they will give you a new bag at the trails.
I would see the last Hocus Pocus. It starts at midnight so watching that will, in effect, extend your party time. I would keep an eye on the weather though, and if there is threat of rain watch it earlier.
When you watch the fireworks, make sure to check the left hand fenced in area (in front of Casey's) the other side is reserved for the dessert party but the left side is open and usually somewhat empty.
I'm not sure if anyone has answered you or not. The longest ride that we waited for was 7DMT and it was 20 minutes. It didn't even feel that long. I'm not sure if Peter Pan's effects were on during the party because we rode it before the party started. It looked like the effects were still on but I can't guarantee that...... maybe someone else will know for sure. Big thunder was a walk on. So was Many Adventures with Pooh. Pirates was also a walk on. Seems the biggest lines were for character m&g. I hope this helps. I don't think I saw a posted wait for more than 30 minutes.Anybody with ride wait time reports?
Also, can anyone confirm if the effects were working in the Peter Pan queue during the party or were they turned off?
Thanks!

No one has mentioned anything about their FP being cancelled for last day yet, so that's a good sign but I would not do the happy dance for another several days, until their vacations are over and they were able to access those last day FPsIs there any update on how FP+ are working? I want to make sure I won't have my last day cancelled.
You should be able to get it at 4. Go over to the SotMK stand and ask for the card. Show them your party bracelet and that should be what they need to see. In 2014, I had to show my party bracelet to get my pin set at 4:30, and that's after we got our Jack Sparrow SotMK card.
As soon as you get your band.
Watched the video and noted that for the parade Pooh and Friends were not in costume. Mickey and friends were. Is that normal? Could it have been due to the rain (before the second parade)?The latest Tim Tracker video answers some questions.
I hear appt of people say not to bother with Trick or Treating and other things during the first hour. What do people recommend doing during the first hour? We aren't doing charachters so I want to use that time productively.We're going Sept 17. We are doing a quick weekend trip because Brian's AP for Universal runs out on that Saturday.
