Question About MNSSHP

Hey Everyone,
I'm looking at going to MNSSHP on Sunday October 3 and I know that it is a hard ticket event. I was wondering what that meant. Do I just need that ticket for the night or do I need to use up a day on a park hopper pass in addition to the hard ticket? I saw there was a thread the other day about MNSSHP and I thought it would be a fun thing to do there. Thanks in advance for help.

You'll buy a special ticket. It is not tied in any way to your park hopper, annual pass, or any other pass you have to get into the parks.

This will be our second MNSSHP. We absolutely loved it when we went in 2000. We've been to the Christmas Party 4 times, and it is great as well.

You can call Disney reservations to get your tickets, or you can order online. They will ship your tickets to you, or you can have them at Will Call. We chose that option -- one less thing to forget at home!

MNSSHP is fantastic! :sohappy: The fireworks are the best and the parade is terrific. If you have small children it is really fun to let them - or you -trick or treat in the park and they do hand out some good quality candy - especially in toontown. You can dress up or not as long as the costume doesn't have dangling parts that can get caught in anything and there are always some really creative costumes out there. One of the contributors to this site and his brother dressed like Peter Pan and his shadow! :lol: If you are going to go to this event the time to buy tickets is now! Several dates sold out last year and people were paying outrageous sums on ebay for tickets. :brick:

Help!

I need help in convincing my best friend to go to MNSSHP. We go to WDW the same week in Oct every year, but she isn't receptive to my hints about going to MNSSHP this year. I've should her the guest reviews on All Ears, but she only pointed out the few negative comments and ignored the more than 90% favorable reviews. :brick: I don't want to make waves, because we work together and get along really well (her husband and my husband are friends, our kids hang out together, etc).

She points out the fact that this is a hard ticket event, as if that's unreasonable or too expensive, but money is no problem for her. If you divide the ticket price by the hours of the event, it comes out to less than the price of movie, per hour! Since I have never been, I don't have much of a persuasive argument, so kindly help with reasons for two adults, traveling without their children, to go to MNSSHP.

Should I let it go, or go it alone? :confused:

Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party/Parade.

Hard ticket event means that you cannot use a regular admission or any sort of park hopper/hotel plan for admittance. You buy a separate ticket:

Advance: Adult $31.95 plus tax; Child $25.95 plus tax
Day of Event: Adult $34.95 plus tax; Child $28.95 plus tax

See Deb's site at http://www.allearsnet.com/tp/mk/mnssh.htm for more information.

We are going on the third also, so maybe we'll run into you there elle72688. As it is early, you should be OK in being able to purchase. Dates later in Oct. I believe are already beginning to sell out.

I say go it alone (actually, I assume with your spouse). It might be a nice break for you to be able to do whatever you want to do for one night without having to make a group decision. And then you can tell her first hand what a great time it is. Then, next year she may want to go.

Thanks

Thank-you for the quick replies! I plan on purchasing the tickets tomorrow...it will be just my mother (she hasn't been to WDW in ten years!) and I. I can hardly wait it sounds spectacular. I'm just relieved my mother doesn't have to use any days on her pass for the event just the hard ticket. Now all I have to do is think up some costumes and convince her to wear one! Wish me luck.

If you cannot think of anything to wear as a costume by then, they have some great choices for adults to wear in the gift shops at that time of year that you could buy before you attend MNSSHP. Just a suggestion although you do not have to dress in costume to attend. :)

I haven't dressed up for Halloween since college, but I have been thinking of psudo-costumes to wear - am thinking Pirate (though I'll be sure to mail my sword home so it doesn't get confiscated by security! :) ).

What kinds of stuff do they sell over at Pirates besides swords? I assume they have eye patches and stuff? I'm going to MNSSHP twice, the first time is the very first night I arrive - if I just bring an appropriate shirt and pants will I be able to pick up the accessories at the park?

Dressing Up

Many of the kids put on costumes, but many adults do not, so don't feel you have to to fit in. You can do well with little stuff from gift shops. For pirates, yes, there are eyepatches, hats, hooks, all sorts of stuff. You can pick up a ' skin cap, tiara or even mickey ears would work. Its mostly just fun to be there, you will participate, costume or not.

Maybe not worth the effort

Well, I have two different thoughts on that, but as I'm a Libra, that's OK.

If your friend is the sort that works hard to prove her bias, ignoring any evidence to the contrary, maybe it is best just to leave her be, as she may ruin your time as well.

If you think she can be "saved", this event, like so much of Disney offers much more to enjoy for adults. The kids love the trick or treating, but if you think of it as an E-ticket night plus, you have a better idea. Yes, you have easier access to E-ticket rides without much of a wait, and the park is tranformed in a way that you have to experience. To go from the daytime park of white and gingerbread and shiny brass to what it becomes is an amazing transformation. Fireworks and parade are unique (just seeing a witch flying instead of Tink lets you know you're not in Kansas anymore).

So you know her best, after presenting that if she's still being a...well, difficult, don't force her and let it ruin your experience.

I have been able to buy the early October tickets when I checked in for that week. The later week sells out very quickly. However, due to the exposure that the MNSSHP has been getting, it is now the best kept secret and I would order early regardless of when you are going in October.

It's just me and my friend. Every year we ditch our husbands and kids and go to WDW for the same week in Oct. Our boss calls it, "Thelma and Lousie do Disney" :lol:

I don't think it would bother me to go solo, with so much to do and see and in such a big crowd, I seriously doubt I'll get lonely. Thanks!

I'm going twice, and one of the times will be solo.

You know how excited I am for that? :) I am going to ride on the Haunted Mansion 13 times in a row...and no one is going to roll their eyes at me!

In addition, as you said, there will be tons to see and do even beyond what there normally is - tip : ten minutes before the parade in front of the Liberty Bell the story of the headless horseman is told before he makes his ride (or so I read) - just because of all the costumes. Although it usually takes an impressive kid to make me smile, kids in Halloween costumes always manage to make me laugh.

I'm totally looking forward to it - especially the solo one, on the night I arrive. It's gonna be airport->checkin->MNSSHP!
