Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2024

I think you have to have *some* food hidden behind the paywall to make the experience feel more special. It's just customer psychology.

Absolutely. But 80% of it (could be more, could be less, I didn't do the math)? They could do better.

I agree, but I have to imagine they're seeing survey results that tell them that people are choosing to go to MNSSHP for the food & entertainment over the rides. So keeping the food behind paid event admission is a bit of an incentive to purchase tickets.

Is it? When have you ever heard someone say "whelp, I'm not going to that party anymore, because the peons can buy the same food and drink during the day!"?

 

[C33Mom]

We *are* going to the party but my kids just handed me a list of like 10 treats they want to eat… I had to tell them “not all in one night, friends”— I’ll let them try 2 maaaaaybe 3 if the lines aren’t too long. MK would get a lot more money from us if only half of them were behind the paywall because we’d have those at the party and then buy the other overpriced confections on other visits.

I think it’s less this and more “I’m paying $150 for a ticket, so the extra exclusive food items help me justify that cost.”

The chances are VERY slim but there are two options:

1. Show up at the night of the party and hope there are tickets to be purchased at the front gate
2. Someone who can't go can reassign their ticket to you (no refunds). You'll need to be "Family and Friends" on MDE to make this happen. Then you work it out amongst yourselves your reimbursing them for the ticket.

But as I said the chances for either are VERY slim.

Another option I’ve seen: show up at the park guest services first thing in the morning, as they sometimes have a few tickets available.

The next party date to have sold out is September 13.

Call Disney and explain. Sometimes they can make it work for one person.

Last year our former au pair ended up being able to join us at WDW last minute for the final Christmas party. It had been sold out forever and we couldn’t get any help in advance, but once in the MK (late afternoon), Guest Relations directed us to some building in Liberty Square where they asked to see our other party tickets, sold me a same day ticket, and within 15m she was on her way to us in the park. So I wouldn’t say it’s an extremely long shot, but I would be prepared for at least some possibility of it not working.

Doesn't the party only go until midnight?

 

[wdwmagic]

Doesn't the party only go until midnight?

Yes to midnight

 

[Fido Chuckwagon]

Yes to midnight

But they're keeping trick or treating open, specifically for allergies, for an additional 30 minutes past park close? Or do we think that is a typo...
