    What time do Pooh and friends start their meet and greet for MNSSHp? I know the line starts at 6. Do people try and line up before that?

    Hey there, Jo Ann!

    Hooray! It's going to be a wonderful night at The Most Magical Place on Earth. A visit to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be a spooky, fun time. And a meeting with Winnie and the Hundred Acre Wood crew in their super cute costumes will make this night unforgettable! 

    Jo Ann, this is my favorite Halloween character meet-and-greet, and I am not alone! Pooh and his pals look oh so cute, and Guests love the opportunity to get hugs, photos, and autographs. The party officially launches at 7 PM, but characters have been known to start greeting a little earlier. While Pooh may not have an official early start time, he may appear before 7 PM. I will share that my experience has been that Guests will start lining up very early for this meet and greet. Very Early! If this party-exclusive Pooh is at the top of your to-do list, I would make this your very first stop. Grab a pal, a snack (we don't want a rumbly in your tumbly), and get in line! Plan on heading over to the entrance (just to the left of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) a little before six to keep your wait time to a minimum. Cast Members will be in the area to ensure you are in the correct line, and they will be able to give you an estimated wait time once Winnie starts greeting Guests. And don't forget, you can enter the party as early as 4 PM. This will give you plenty of time to get your wristbands, treat bags, and be ready to jump in line. 

    As you make your party to-do list, don't forget to add Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular to your must-see experiences! The show is frightfully fun and full of great music. Pro tip: Grab a spot in front of Cinderella Castle to see some truly spellbinding projections! 

    I hope your upcoming adventure is spooktacular!
