  • Wish I could go but I work Friday, Saturday and have to be in early on Mondays. 🙁

  • I’m about as excited as I can be about Jack & Sally making an appearance at WDW! Nightmare Before Christmas has been one of my kids’ absolute favorite movies for years and we didn’t get a chance to see their characters at Disneyland before we moved to the east coast! Can’t wait for this weekend!

  • So Jack and Sally will only be out from 6pm to 11 pm. fri, Sat., and Sun. Evenings. Is that correct?

  • Do you know if all the extras will be contained at West Side or will they be branched out to Marketplace? Thanks for any help. I’m bummed I can’t see Nightmare Before Christmas, but I’m hoping to still meet Jack and Sally, since they were pulled right before my last trip to Disneyland 4 years ago.

  • My favorite characters Jack and Sally will be at Disney World on my birthday and my trip isn’t for a few more weeks 🙁
    I agree that they should show up at MNSSHP! I also would LOVE to meet Oogie Boogie.

  • I’m wondering the same thing…can we purchase tickets online, I’d hate to drive the 2 hours for it to be sold out…

  • It’s a shame we can’t keep Jack and Sally for MNSSHP! 🙁 That’s the one thing the party lacks.

    Are tickets going to be available for advance purchase online soon? This makes up for the fact I have to work and can’t go to the midnight premiere!!

  • I’m so excited because we will be in Disney this weekend. Do you know where Jack and Sally will be in Downtown Disney?

  • Can the $6 tickets be purchased in advance online? I went to the AMC Downtown Disney Theaters website and nothing was listed for that day. Can’t wait to meet Jack & Sally!! =D

  • What times will Jack and Sally’s limited appearance be ? Has anyone found out ?

  • So excited!!! I’ll be there with a group from Charleston volunteering at the Tower of Terror 10-Miler that weekend so we will be sure to partake in all the freaky festivities!! 🙂

  • Does this mean we might be able to keep Jack and Sally for an extended Florida Vacation, or are they headed back to Halloween Town after the festivities?

  • So does that mean that Jack and Sally will be out starting Friday September 28 or does that mean after the movie comes out starting the following week?

    • Hi Travis, they will only be out September 28 – 30.
