News Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2018

[FigmentForver96]

Yeah, whatever. Despite the hate of a few on these forums, the M:B overlay was relatively well-received by guests. And the great rallying cry of "it doesn't fit" will soon be over once the superhero land is built around it.

The Earful Tower is gone. Mr. Toad is gone. The Great Movie Ride is gone. Things change. The writing's on the wall: ToT and RnRC will be eventually rethemed with established Disney property. The fact that CBS is reviving Twilight Zone makes its demise in the Disneyverse all that more certain.

I don’t recall ever caring what the guests thought. Disney can sell candy s*** and guest will buy it. It’s not my problem that Disney has to pander by making rides with “slap in the face stories” and rides that just get to the point versus something that builds.

I do expect Disney to remove the Twilight Zone brand from ToT in the near future, but I don't anticipate any extreme makeover any time soon. They decided against going the M:B route with DHS's ToT for a reason, so it would be odd for them to turn around and completely re-theme it to something else. I could see some IP being injected into the ride in a minor way that still retains the crux of the current ride. RnRC, on the other hand, is likely going to be re-themed as part of a new land that fills the space next to (and maybe including) Animation Courtyard.

So, I guess you'll stop going when it happens.

We're trying to get a picture with the 7 Dwarfs. It seems that everyone says to get in line for them super early. I was wondering if there is any chance that their line would be doable towards the end of the party?

I went a few years ago and if you want the 7 dwarfs you should probably get in line early

Personally I would always choose Tuesday assuming a Friday would draw more locals, but you never know of course. Also the further you are from Halloween is likely better. Weather will obviously affect “day of” sales some as well. Just my two cents!

Thank you!!

I'm certainly one of those that thought the new overlay turned out to be a great ride — at least in California where the different layout and dynamics of the "lesser" tower worked in favor of the overlay. That would be more difficult to pull off in DHS - some reworking of the story would be needed to pull it off.

That said, I really hope there would be a way for Disney to keep it Twilight Zone themed, as least in FL. Or if they lose the TZ license, make it a Jack Skellington ride or something to keep the creepy paranormal-ish vibe.

I’m curious when did the teacups groups stop turning bc in the video the main turntable was obviously spinning but the smaller ones were stationary

I really love Clarabelle's new Halloween outfit.

Yep, that's a sad commentary on the level of 'improvements' to this year's MNSSHP !

Which party did you attend? I was happy with the updates at the 8/17 party.

 

[disney4life2008]

Obviously guests visiting in late August are interested in the Halloween Party, otherwise it wouldn’t be sold out regardless of media and comps.

And the same bloggers who seem to have no life all who have YouTube channels

Thought for a sec Not-so-Scary was doing a Halloween overlay for Laugh Floor. How cool would that have been?
HW jokes... new monsters. Next year Disney, Next Year! I'll be first in line, front row center to see the new show!

I know it's not exactly cricket to comment on this years party without attending, but, we've been going for the past 3 years and the 'improvements' or changes from year to year, have been incremental at best.

Just watched a video carefully - everything is turning correctly. Follow one teacup (it helped me to choose guests with distinct headgear) and you can make it out.

They seem to have a successful formula so no reason to change.

Boo to You needs to go next (yes I realize it’s WDWs best parade but 15 years in enough)

It’s our best parade...why replace it? As long as they keep refreshing it like they do every couple of years to keep it fresh why mess with something that works so well?
Far inferior shows and parades have had much longer runs.

 

[MisterPenguin]

This is why WDW gets shafted all the time, its fans are content with the status quo. It's so sad.

If that were true, Stitch's Great Escape would still be open and running as it was.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Not even the same thing as running a tiring parade for 15 years. But thanks, for attempting to prove me wrong, as usual.

It's rather easy to prove over-the-top extremist all-or-nothing views as wrong with a simple counter-example. Maybe if you didn't resort to such drama you wouldn't get negged.

 

[raymusiccity]

If that were true, Stitch's Great Escape would still be open and running as it was.

It's still a shame that an attraction, such as Stitch, sits forlorn and gathering dust. It would still make for a change of pace and lots of children enjoyed it. Disney should close it down when they're actually going to accomplish something with that space.
