Halloween Horror Nights, MNSSHP & Florida Weekend Meet

[trollsa]

Trying to figure out when to go, would be really great to hook up with you guys but my wife and I have to go to disneyworld to get our first annual passes on the 1st of oct debating if to go back and hang out with you guys.

[BigAL]

Any updates on a meeting place for Mickey's Halloween party. I will be there that night.

[SharkTums]

I think we're all doing dinner at 5pm...so let's say 6:30 somewhere? I forget do they let in early or not? Should we have two meeting spots and times perhaps?

 

What does everyone think?

[Erik Johnson]

Sounds good to me. Where do you want to eat dinner? Wow, less than a month now till the meet.

[BarryH]

Last year, Disney let people in with MNSSHP tickets after 4 pm. You could do the attractions around the park. They corral everyone in Tomorrowland as the rest of the park is emptied. When you enter the park with a MNSSHP ticket, they put a wristband around you.

 

Here's a video of mine of MNSSHP:

Hello.

 

I'm 98% sure I can do Disney on the 21st, too! Not Universal though .

Hi Robb & Elissa-

 

You can count me in at Busch Gardens Tampa that Sunday (this is my home park). I am really looking forward to meeting you guys and other Theme Park Review members.

I'll think about Halloween Horror Nights. I was planning on doing HHN at some point anyway with some friends.

 

Hey if my non-coastergeek friends come with me do you guys promise not to scare them more than the event already will?

[Homer]

I MAY* go to the BGT meet with colincoon if all goes well.

 

*Depending on parent permission, etc.

[KrakenKing]

90% possibility I can get to BGT now... but still not 100%... oh well, 90 is close enough

[SharkTums]

Sounds good! Seems like we'll have a really good group!

 

If any of you have any questions about specifics or want cell phone numbers and stuff just PM me!

[Thrasher]

I know im really new to this forum, but I read the site and read the forums regularly. My name is Aaron and Im an admin over at Coasterforce. If I may, id like to join up with you guys at IOA on the 20th. I may be able to do Sunday the 23rd as well, but I know for sure I can do Thursday.

For all you candyholics out there (that's me) I just read a nice review about MNNSHP on wdwmagic.com.

 

Thanks to mousermerf for this review.

 

Disney has upped the ante this year with Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party.

 

In addition to Hallowishes fireworks and 2 showings of the Boo-to-You parade, as well as the family photo - Disney is offering more candy then ever before.

 

So that's what happens when you let Goofy run the place? This years candy "sponsor" is Disney's brand, Goofy's Candy Company.

 

This year will have 60% more candy than last year, an increase from 7 million pieces given out to trick-or-treating guests to a whopping 11 million (that's 11,000,000) pieces of candy.

 

In addition to treat locations, candy will be given out along the parade route to waiting guests and in "surprise" locations. The candy offered this year wont be unique to each location but rather feature a mix at each location so that the lines move better too.

 

Goofy's Candy Company is making its mark as a Disney brand - recently an entire section of Epcot's MouseGear was redone to the brand with a "Tons-o-Fun" area featuring 130 candy dispensers and 51 candy bins.

 

The brand includes jelly beans, M&Ms, Tootsie Rolls, taffy, Hershey Kisses, non pareils and much more.

 

CM's working the MNSSHP events will be wearing Goofy's Candy Co. aprons and a float in the Boo-to-You parade will be themed to the sweets as well.

[DerekRx]

Mmmmm, candy. Do you need to dress up in order to get the candy? I had a costume all ready for this year set up starting at PPP, but it looks like I'm gonna go as Dave Thomas's "man trying to keep warm". Maybe I should dress up as Dave to go to MNSSHP....or Guy's 4th dimension floating head. 8)

[Erik Johnson]

Nope you do not need to dress up in a costume. I think Elissa is going as Chip & Dale's biggest fan. I have to admit I am not really into the costume bit but I am going to do something simple since Leanne is going to do some sort of costume.

[Guy T. Koepp]

I,m scarier without a costume.

[Meteornotes]

Well, I pretty much don't eat candy, so I'll not be collecting any. And I'm thinking that my idea of a Ron Jeremy costume might not be approved by the management staff of WDW...

You could just go as a hedgehog instead, we will get it.

[Mr. Volcano]

Hey Guys,

I finally got time to view around the forums again! (for once!) Anyways, saw this topic and thought I'd post. I would love to meet up with everyone thats going on these meets around the forums if I can get time... it will probably be undecided on which parks I will get to go to though depending on how my schedule works out.

 

-Justin (I'll probably have to find out last minute and maybe can still get to at least one place, if thats okay) but I would love to hang out!

[nyanko]

Ok I think I am going to be too poor to go, so I'll have to take a raincheck.

 

Maybe next time I won't be a struggling student. Oh wait, that'll be a really long time!

[Erik Johnson]

Just to let everyone know but its rumored that Disney is upping the parking charge to $9.00 this weekend. Make sure you bring an extra dollar.

[jarmor]

Hey guys down here in orlando...well in tampa right now but just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the majority of the houses are to the RIGHT as you enter terra run. only thing really to the left is demon cantina, bill and teds, and skool. ironically everything is in the studios lol lol. If you go straight to the right you will have no wait at all for the houses being that everyone is going straight to the left. I felt like I wasted my money on an express pass lol lol...ohh and a blast from the past is also featured in the event but the park didnt spill the beans on this one...and this time he isnt clowning around!

[Thrasher]

Just to let all FL residents know that there is a special that can save you up to $27. Just pre-order online with the UPC of specially marked Coke can and you can get a ticket for that Thursday for $32.95+tax. It may not be much, but its still a savings!

 

Do any of you know if Thursdays sell out, because I dont think ill be able to get my ticket until this weekend.

[BarryH]

I've never heard of a Thursday selling out at HHN.

 

BTW, where are we meeting for HHN during Stay and Scream? I know one of the Stay and Scream areas is Captain America's Diner. The other one might be Circus McGurkus, but I'm not sure.
