well it's that spooky time of year again
at walt disney world the time where the
magic kingdom lets the fog roll in
unleashes those disney villains and
gives you a little trick with a little
treat but don't worry it's not so very
scary mickey's not so scary halloween
party is happening right now on select
nights at magic kingdom until october
31st
not only is this one of the only times
that everyone regardless of age can
dress up as their favorite disney
characters there's so many other unique
opportunities that can only be
experienced at the halloween party from
the time you enter the park until you
leave it's a blast the entire time so
today we're going to give you the
rundown of the 2018 party including some
important tips and count down the top 10
must-dos at mickey's not so scary
halloween party
[Music]
number 10 you need to arrive early
on party nights magic kingdom closes at
6 p.m and the actual party doesn't begin
until 7 p.m but if you have a ticket to
the event you're able to get into the
park at 4pm they'll give you a colored
wristband so cast members know which
guests are going to the party and you're
able to enjoy the park for a few hours
before the event even starts
these attractions listed here including
the jungle cruise and enchanted tales
with belle are not open for the party so
getting there early allows you to get on
these attractions until 6 pm plus you're
able to go on all the other attractions
at the park but you may want to hold off
on a few of them until the halloween
overlays begin that evening but those
are gonna be discussed a little later on
if you find yourself at magic kingdom
during the day but also have a party
ticket you can get a wristband from one
of the three locations in the park and
don't need to enter through the front
gates but after you get your wristband i
do suggest heading down to main street
to officially kick off the party it
really sets the halloween mood with many
photo opportunities including cast
members with some of the main street
vehicles on display
number nine
trick-or-treating is a must-do during
the halloween party and there's no
shortage of candy
the entrance for halloween party guests
is through market street or what most
people know as the main street bypass
here you'll find many photopass
opportunities including spooky statues
of your favorite disney characters but
most importantly this is where you get
your first dose of candy cast members
hand out bags to each guest and then you
receive a little candy starter pack the
market street is the first treat
location open and ready for guests that
arrive at 4 pm and this one closes at 8
pm all other 13 treat locations aren't
usually open until closer to 7pm and
they remain open all night it's really
easy to spot the treat signs all around
the park and they're also listed on the
park map a few of the attractions like
country bear jamboree mickey's fill her
magic and monsters in glad floor have
candy trails where you get to walk
through the closed attraction
here at monsters inc lap floor you can
explore the theater while roz watches
over you she's always watching then as
you exit there's another treat station
there's a variety of candy and chocolate
at each station and who knows you may
even get some applesauce but be prepared
to get a lot of candy at the halloween
party
number eight
as part of the new experiences for 2018
a few attractions received a spooky
halloween overlay pirates of the
caribbean is one of the attractions that
received a halloween overlay and this
overlay involves live actors throughout
the attraction beginning in the queue
you learned that you're now on the hunt
for come out of people listen if you see
that gunpowder please don't talk to me
don't touch him don't look at him what
are you doing
you will get busted then as you're
heading into the load station you're
greeted by another pirate who gives you
a better idea of what gunpowder pete
looks like he'd be a very very bad man
just tell me where he is
now while on the ride we're used to
seeing animatronic pirates on top of the
bridges but keep an eye out for
gunpowder pete on the bridge before the
burning town scene any heroes on board
let me see it
you're heroes that's great you'll be the
first to walk
[Music]
aside from pete the physical ride hasn't
changed at all but since this is the
first year of this overlay i think
there's a lot of opportunity to further
enhance this experience in years to come
now these overlays don't switch over
until right at 7pm and usually the
attraction does go down for a few
minutes for the changeover to happen the
ride had longer waits at the beginning
of the party but they definitely did die
down during the course of the night
number seven
nothing says halloween more than the
spookiest attraction at magic kingdom
the haunted mansion isn't listed as
having a special halloween overlay since
nothing inside the attraction has
changed but there's enough happening on
the outside to warrant a visit the
ambiance of the colored lighting on the
haunted mansion really gets you into
that spooky halloween spirit fog fills
the entire atmosphere from madame
liotta's tombstone to the pet cemetery
with our friend mr toad and a couple of
the comical ghosts from the ride escaped
and can now be found on the front lawn
interacting with guests
whatever
won't let you know it's a nice little
added touch worth experiencing that gets
you right in that halloween spirit
number
six another new halloween overlay was
added to the mad tea party this overlay
includes a pretty funky lighting system
along with a cool new soundtrack
there's a variety of songs and each
seems to have a separate lighting design
which makes the experience slightly
different every time you ride this
attraction overlay actually reminded me
a lot of alien swirling saucers at night
and whether you actually ride it or just
watch it's a fun new little spin on a
classic disney ride we've known for
decades
number five
the last of the halloween attraction
overlays is on space mountain now the
attraction is pretty dark but there's
usually hints of light on the lift hill
and through the tunnels now imagine what
space mountain would be like if you
close your eyes for the entire ride well
that's exactly what this halloween
overlay is like all the lights are
turned off no space tunnel no shooting
stars nothing on a regular day the
coaster feels much faster than it
actually is but with the light
completely absent from the entire ride
it feels even faster for some reason
it's definitely a thrilling experience
and there's even a new soundtrack to go
along with the ride
out of the three new attraction overlays
if he only had time or wanted to pick
just one i'd definitely say go with
space mountain and for a popular throw
ride the weights were fairly reasonable
as well only averaging about 20 minutes
number four
the disney character meet and greets are
a big part of the halloween party and
there's two different ways to meet your
favorite disney pals
one way is through the dance parties if
you're traveling with the little ones
fantasyland is home to the storybook
circus disney junior jam and that's new
for 2018.
make some noise out there you'll get to
groove to the beat with some of your
favorite disney junior characters
moving over to tomorrowland you'll find
the monstrous screamoween ball at the
tomorrowland stage
here you're able to bust a move with
characters from monsters inc including
sully and the one and only mike wazowski
both dance parties go continuously until
12 am
now dozens of character meet and greets
can be found all night long and these
are extremely popular experiences
most of the meet and greets start right
at seven but a few do start earlier for
the more popular characters this
includes moana who meets in the tiki
room the seven dwarfs who meet at pete's
silly sideshow and the most popular
being jack and sally who meet at the
liberty square gazebo
you can begin lining up well before 7pm
for these popular characters especially
jack and sally who seem to start meeting
as early as about 5 pm
by this time the line for jack and sally
extended out to the entrance of
adventureland and it was about a two and
a half hour wait so definitely go there
first if that's on your bucket list of
things to do if you're unsure of where
and when to line up a cast member is
always around to answer your questions
as well
later in the evening all the characters
in general had much shorter weights so
that's also an option for you as well be
sure to check the map for character
locations and the my disney experience
app also gives you the specific location
of which characters are meeting where
number three
with a catchy theme song and your
favorite spooky and villainous disney
characters mickey's buddha you halloween
parade is a quintessential disney
halloween experience each night gives
you two opportunities to catch the
parade once at 9 15 and then at 11 15.
generally the first parade is a bit more
crowded than the second parade but on a
less busy night you can probably expect
light crowds at the first parade as well
[Music]
if you do have your heart set on a
specific spot i'd suggest getting there
at least 15 to 20 minutes before
especially since you don't want to miss
the headless horseman
he makes an appearance just before the
parade starts but do note if the ground
is wet they won't send him out but if he
doesn't appear in the first parade
there's always the possibility that he
make him out for the second
now the buddha you parade is a lot of
fun it features over a hundred
performers you get to see some rare
characters like the hyenas from lion
king pain and panic from hercules and
there's some pretty cool floats my
favorite has to be in the haunted
mansion segment which is led by the
spark producing gravediggers then
followed by those hitchhiking ghosts
[Music]
number two
the happy hallowishes fireworks show
light up the sky every night at mickey's
not so scary halloween party at 10 15 pm
unlike the other entertainment offerings
for the evening there's only one showing
of hallowishes so you'll need to
schedule your night accordingly if you
want to see the show the crowds for
hallowishes aren't nearly as bad as the
crowds you might be used to for happily
ever after so that's definitely a plus
[Music]
there's usually plenty of room for you
to get around to find that perfect spot
and you don't need to worry about
showing up more than 10 to 15 minutes
before the show to get a good spot
hollow wishes is filled with some fun
disney villain music projections and
colorful fireworks which are also set
off around the perimeter of the hub it
isn't something you see in a typical
disney fireworks show so you don't want
to miss hallowishes
number one
[Applause]
the hocus pocus villain spell tacular is
one of the best shows the castle stage
has ever seen with three performances
every night at 8 30 10 45 and 12 a.m
there's many opportunities to catch all
your favorite disney villains and the
sanderson sisters in this wicked
celebration i have never seen so many
frightful friends in one place this is
i'd say all three shows are equally as
busy but if you do go to the 12 a.m show
it does technically extend your time at
the park since the party ends at 12am
is
the show will have you dancing and
singing along and it's a great way to
end your night at mickey's not-so-scary
halloween party
so have you been to the party before and
