Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Canceled on October 3rd, 2008

[Figment!]

The Walt Disney World resort has made the following announcment:
Due to an operational need, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will not be available for Friday, October 3, 2008.

Guests who have purchased tickets for this date will be individually contacted by Walt Disney World Ticketing to make alternate arrangements. Guests may experience this fall tradition on 24 select nights throughout September and October. (Please note this event requires separate admission.) The nights include:
September 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, and 30.
October 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 31.

Normal Magic Kingdom Park hours for October 3rd are currently 9 AM - 7 PM but are always subject to change. Although ticketing has been instructed to contact Guests holding tickets on this date, it may be in Guest's best interest to contact ticketing themselves in order to potentially increase their availability of alternative options.

Thanks for the information. I image this will result in a fair number of disappointed folks!

I almost picked that day. We are going on the 2nd. :mickey:

[thrillme]

I wonder WHY.

[crazeedizneefinatic]

Not me! We are going from the 26th to the
5th and was actually upset with all the parties going on. I am hoping the MK is open that night for guests and still not closed. Out of 8 days we only get 4 nights in the MK. Not enough in my opinion! Would love to go to the party again but who can afford over $250 dollars for a few extra hours in the MK?

[CleveSJM]

It's been worth every penny. We don't get hoppers anymore and get the Party tickets instead. Go to a different park during the day and hit the party (around 5pm) at MK and get a special experience with less crowds.

I doubt it will be open. The need surely needs extra downtime to complete or they wouldn't have cancelled the party.

This could be way off, but I read somewhere there's going to be a wedding that night, and that's why the party was cancelled, yet the park will still close at 7 p.m.

But that's just heresay.

[CaptainSad]

Well if that is true, then someone has a lot of money. I know it's not cheap to book a park for a whole night.

[MushuGrl]

It's been speculated that it's a celebrity.

Since Johnny Depp hasn't accepted my proposal...it isn't me...

..unless Prince Caspian DID...then you're invited. Bring a dish.
