Here at Kenny the Pirate, we love meeting rare characters. Rare characters tend to be seen during events like runDisney race weekends, Disney Vacation Club Moonlight Magic, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Earth Day to name a few.

While special events such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party unlock even more great characters.

Without a doubt, the most popular meet-and-greet at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is that of Jack Skellington & Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This duo garners wait times of 3+ hours each party night.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party will run on select dates in August, September, and October this year. Click HERE to view a complete list of dates.

This event offers many great meet and greets, Mickey's Boo to You Parade, trick or treating trails, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show, and Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular firework show.

Many times, Guests must prioritize what is most important to them to enjoy during this special ticketed event.

One of the biggest complaints of Guests attending the party are the constant high wait times for Jack Skellington and Sally. Finally, Cast Members now greet Guests next in line with bins to deposit any items that they do not want to carry while meeting Jack and Sally.

Guests now place personal belongings in bins before meeting Jack Skellington and Sally.

These bins are moved to a small table to the side allowing Guests to move quicker through the line without the need to physically put down their personal items when it is there turn to meet Jack and Sally. This small change helped the line move much quicker last night during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Do you think more changes should be made for this popular meet and greet? Share your thougths with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
