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

[skojo]

I just booked my tickets for October 21, 2 adults 2 kids. So excited! It will be our first time attending. Cast member informed me (without me evening asking) that we can enter at 4pm and book FP from 4pm to 7pm. Since I am in Canada I will be picking up my tickets at the Will Call desk so I don't have to pay extra for shipping. Does anyone know if it has to be the Will Call at MK or can I pick them up at any theme park or at the hotel concierge desk? TIA

Question about the dessert party during the Halloween party...mainly, has anyone done it and felt it was worth it? This is our first MNSSHP but we’ve attended the last 3 DL Halloween parties and the firework show is my all time favorite!! I really want to be able to take full advantage of anything that will allow us a good view of the show. Do you eat desserts and then go to a separate viewing area or do you stay at a table? Is it a good view?

By the way, our intentions for the party include some trick or treating, the parade, Hocus Pocus show, and fireworks. Meet and greets are low priority as our rides since we will be there for 7 full days.

Advice?!

Were you given some sort of a confirmation number so you can add them to your MDE app? If so, is there still a reason to pick up the tickets?

If you don't have a confirmation, how will MDE know you are eligible to book FPs?

Just trying to figure things out as I will also be purchasing these tickets from Canada. Hoping they're available online soon although we're going on a Tuesday in August so not a chance that one will sell out.

I asked this question earlier in this thread and got some very helpful responses. I don’t know how to link individual posts, but my question and subsequent replies started about half way down page 30 of this thread. For what it’s worth, I’m still undecided.

I like the dessert party. 2 years when we went, it also included reserved parade viewing which I really loved. Last year the parade viewing wasn't included. The only real disadvantage is it does take up a chunk of your party time, but since meet and greets aren't a priority for you, that shouldn't be an issue. I absolutely love having a table to sit at to enjoy some fun themed desserts while I wait for the fireworks and the view, although not perfect, if good enough for me from the Tomorrowland Terrace. I really do wish they will return the reserved parade viewing with it this year because not having to worry about finding a good spot to see the parade is priceless for me since that is one of the main attractions for me.

Anyone managed to link tickets bought from out with Disney to My Disney Experience yet?

I have the little credit card tickets from attraction tickets direct but can’t get them to link (despite trying various combinations). Keeps saying there is an issue and to try again (or that the ticket for my daughter who is 8 doesn’t match the child ticket which is 3-9 yrs).

Does anyone know how much the dessert party costs? This year or last?

See Post #3 for last year's info link.

Thank you but it looks like information in Post 2 has been removed as it's now an empty post. Post 1 mentions there was a dessert party but does not include any other information. I'm interested in finding out what pricing for 2017 Dessert Party was.

No need to apologize for your post; your intentions were good! There was a lot of information flying around yesterday, some of it accurate and some of it not quite on point.....just another "normal" day when something new is released (or not released)! The great thing about the Dis and these forums is that mostly everybody is here to try to help each other by sharing their experiences and knowledge. You were only relaying what was told to you by a CM in an effort to inform others. It just so happened that the info the CM gave you was incorrect and if you read these forums long enough, you'll see that this a common occurrence with many CMs and it happens all the time. In fairness to the CMs, they do have a lot of info to remember as well and for some reason, rather than say they don't know something or even defer to someone more knowledgeable, they often just give their best guess/answer rather than check to be sure and then they're off to the next call. One thing for sure, no matter what it's regarding, the forum members here are some of the best around in putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out just exactly what Disney is doing this time. I guess that's what keeps us all going and entertained. Welcome to the Dis

Aww thanks for the welcome!! I've watched the DIS for long time, but I'm definitely new to posting.

Are these in addition to normal fast passes or does this include the 3 that you get per day?

 

[Kristina G.]

Are these in addition to normal fast passes or does this include the 3 that you get per day?

That includes the 3 you get for the day...and since the park closes at 6 PM this year, you will have to book fastpasses 3:30-4:30, 4:30-5:30, and 5:30-6:00

 

[scrappinginontario]

It includes the 3 you get for a day.

They 3 people can book with their MNSSHP ticket works well for those not going to a park that day and plan to enter the MK at 4:00.

Good point! I was thinking I'd only be able to book 2 but hadn't thought of booking 1 where the window begins earlier than 4:00. Thanks so much for that tip!

Where Can You Purchase These Specially Priced Tickets?
Direct From Walt Disney World
These special tickets must be purchased in person (with proper military ID) from Walt Disney World ticket or Guest Relations locations! They cannot be pre-purchased over the phone or internet.

From Shades of Green
You may also purchase these special tickets in person at Shades of Green's Ticket Office. Call 407-824-1403 for details.


This doesn't make sense - (not questioning the accuracy; it is on the official website and the OP is doing a fantastic job) - So they must be purchased in advance but cannot be purchased of the phone or internet? So if you happen to live in Fl or make a special trip to buy the tickets, you can get the discount (the airfare will certainly eat into the savings LOL) or you can wing it and hope the tickets are still available after you arrive.

Were you given some sort of a confirmation number so you can add them to your MDE app? If so, is there still a reason to pick up the tickets?

If you don't have a confirmation, how will MDE know you are eligible to book FPs

When I called yesterday the cast member on the phone ssid that he would tell me the confirmation number so that I could enter it into my MDE account. I didn't purchase yet. People who have purchased have reported glitches when they enter the info into their MDE account, including adult tickets appearing as child tickets.

 

[Araminta18]

I got mine to link, but I had the same issues most people had, where it showed as an adult ticket (10+) but gave an warning that said the person was the wrong age. But there's still an option to continue, even with that warning, and I got it successfully linked. Then, it shows up like this, but I figure it'll fix itself soon. And if not, I still have the conf number and can try to re-link it or something.

 

[dachsie]

So I am planning to buy 3 tickets but two of them wont be linked on MDE with me. How would that work? I just give them the confirmation number to link on their MDE?

 

[Spencer Wright]

I thought some of yous guys might have the same issue I had....

On the My Disney Experience App/Website many reservations are showing as attached. IT told me this is a common issue which they are working to fix.
