Hello Barbara, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I am so happy to hear that you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party is a great way to start your magical vacation. What better way to remember your trip than with some of the exclusive merchandise. You didn’t state if you will be visiting the Magic Kingdom with a regular park ticket earlier in the day or arriving just before the party starts. If you are a guest who is already in the Magic Kingdom, you can check-in at Guest Relations, usually at City Hall, to get your wristband that will show you are a party guest who can remain in the Magic Kingdom after 6:00 p.m. when it closes to regular guests. Once the wristbands are available, you will begin to see special merchandise available to just party guests. You will have to show your wristband in order to be able to view it an purchase it prior to 7:00 p.m. When you purchase your souvenirs, you will want to let the Cast Member know during check out that you want to pick up your purchases at the end of the night at the front of the park. They can advise you how long that service will be available for the night.
If you are a guest at a Disney Resort Hotel, you can have your purchases sent there for pick up as well. The Cast Member will need to gather some information from you and they will advise you as to which gift shop you will need to show your receipt to pick up your goodies. Keep in mind that you will not have the option to send purchases to the front of the park or to your room from all vendors. I would suggest asking a Cast Member prior to making your purchase to see if the service is available. Have a wonderful trip and if you have any more questions before you arrive, please come back and visit us again.
Happy Halloween,
Andrea
