![]() There’s two showings of the parade, at 9.15p and 11.15p, with spectacular Halloween-themed fireworks between at 10.15p. …then the parade goes back to scary, ending with Disney villains! …but then shortly shifts to my favorite part, Haunted-Mansion themed dancing gravediggers and ghouls. It begins with a surprise–pay attention when the Cast members start to rope off the crosswalks (dampness on the streets may eliminate this first surprise). The most common costumes continue to be princess costumes and pirate costumes, and after that Star Wars costumes.Īnd this group in Tomorrowland proved a Disney princess theme was not required! THE PARADE, FIREWORKS, DANCE PARTY, HOCUS POCUS SHOW AND TRICK-OR-TREATS AT MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTYīesides most rides being open to short (or shorter) waits, MNSSHP has a special set of Halloween-themed activities (see above–click to enlarge it).įor example, the parade–Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade–is seen only at MNSSHP. “Regular” attendance is subject to different rules, basically ruling out costumes for those 14 and older. Note that these guidelines are solely for the Halloween Party. But even after the increased security that began in December 2015, they are still allowed at the party.Ībove is the official Disney lingo (click it to enlarge it). COSTUMES AT MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTYĬostumes are not required, and not everyone wears them. A late night, but one that avoids the congestion around the Castle hub and Main Street. So do rides until just before ten, find a good nearby fireworks spot, then see the characters and go trick or treating, see the 11.15p parade, and see the midnight Hocus Pocus show. While HalloWishes, like all Magic Kingdom fireworks shows, is best seen from between the Castle and the Main Street railroad station, it does work really well from elsewhere in the park, because of things that happen in the finale that I’m not gonna spoil here. The best approach to the Party remains the same–see rides until the fireworks, and watch the second parade rather than the first.īut because of the crowds remaining after the 9.15 parade, it may be hard to get to the hub to see the fireworks from there. ![]() The effect is to make Space Mountain much more scary than before–as testified to by the quite louder screams, mostly of joy, you will hear while riding it. ![]() All you can see is a few red dots here and there and some distant “EXIT” signs. All lighting effects are turned off, objects formerly lit are now dark, there’s no stars in the sky. For the party, we have something different–a near black-out. …around the theme of finding “Gunpowder Pete.” The overall effect has led to some derision, but for some will give a new reason to pay more attention to scenes that perhaps they have come to take for granted, and for others will be a distraction from the dullness of the new redhead tableau.įinally, the experience of Space Mountain really changes with a near blackout of the ride.Ī big part of the fun of Space Mountain has been not being able to see what comes next–and a refurb a few years ago made the ride even darker (though not everyone is a fan). Pirates of the Caribbean has gained some live characters… The Mad Tea Party has gained a different soundtrack, lights, and spooky smoke effects, greatly increasing its popularity–except with me. You will still see crowds everywhere–ride waits are low to very low but the paths are mobbed.įor 2018, three rides have been “plussed.” This limits a bit the crowds in the hub during the first part of the party. The most important change over the period is that the first parade is later. The 2018 party pretty much follows the pattern set in 2015 and continued since. ( See this for more on logistics–Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates, ticket prices, etc.) WHAT’S NEW FOR 2018 AT MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY I had a chance to see it again a couple of times in mid-September 2018, and the scoop follows! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (“MNSSHP”) is a special, separately ticketed party that happens on certain nights every September, October and some years even early November at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.Īt the party you will find un-crowded rides, a special parade (shown twice, at 9.15 and 11.15p), special fireworks at 10.15p, a Hocus Pocus show, trick-or-treating, a dance party…and a ton of guests in costumes!
