News Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023

When will the parks blog writers ever learn to check for proper spelling? It’s Clarabelle with an “e” at the end. Such an embarrassment for a company that used to pride itself on details.

Found another one in that same article. The group performing at Disney Springs is called Squad Ghouls, not Squad Ghoul. You’d think the clueless writers they’re hiring right out of college would at least have the ability to recognize the allusion to “squad goals”.

The cool cats who would understand the reference aren’t getting hired as writers.

Interesting, still waiting for my date to get sold out (Aug 29th). I'm assuming it will eventually get sold out, but I'm wondering how close to the actual date since the last week of August should be pretty low in terms of crowds.

that is our date as well ... I won't mind if it doesn't sell out lol

I can’t believe these sell out at the prices they charge..ouch

It’s not unreasonable (to me) in August.

We want to do one eventually, but when I looked at adding it on this trip it would be 500 for my family. So we’ll wait till the kids are older and can stay for every minute!

They keep raising the party night fees and they keep selling out.

Disney hasn't found people's tipping point for these special events... yet.

Oh, absolutely. We went when they boys were super young and free but are happy they (now 10 years old) can stay up late. We did NYE at Epcot last year and they did great!

 

[Drdcm]

I give up. Apologies for a personal observation

You fool! How dare you have an opinion and not be ready to celebrate Halloween in July. Everyone must fall in line!

The date we are going is $109, which seems ok - less than a regular park day, etc .... But when they get to $159+ much tough

Of course. But, demand is sky-high in October.

What confuses me more is people paying $199 for MVMCP on like 12/21 when the entertainment is included for all starting the next night. It makes more sense when the MNSSHP entertainment is event-exclusive. We are going next Christmas so I’m more interested to hear about the DHS party, honestly.

 

[seabreezept813]

I guess it depends how you tour. In addition to a 5 day ticket package, 100 plus a person seems like a lot. When the difference between what you get versus going on a non party night is essentially themed fireworks and a parade. But in place of one of your days I guess it works a little.

We've always felt the Christmas party is the biggest scam of the two. At least with Not-So-Scary, you can see one of the best parades on property, get decent candy (not stale cookies and lukewarm water made hot chocolate), dress up, and enjoy seeing what the other guests are wearing. The meet and greets don't matter to us much.

It used to be that the fireworks had full perimeters during the parties but that’s no longer the case. So I would not pay for a marginally better Wonderful Christmastime when I can see it Christmas week.

I thought they did some perimeter fireworks during the parties, that's not happening anymore?
