Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular events. With fun shows, a popular parade, trick-or-treating, special food options, and more, this is definitely a fun time at Magic Kingdom.
This year, the party will run on select nights from August 7 to October 31. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, the Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green will get the first chance to purchase tickets next week on May 5. For those not staying at a Disney World hotel, ticket purchases will open on May 12. Discounts on tickets will be available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members. Ok, let’s get into the details.

Disney added a planning tip this year regarding the days of the week the party will take place.
Planning Tip: To help conjure your fiendish pursuits, note that in August, party dates occur on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This is also true for September with the addition of one Thursday date on September 24. In October, ghouls can descend upon Magic Kingdom every Thursday; most Fridays, Sundays, most Tuesdays; and Saturday on Halloween.
Guests who have a ticket for the Halloween party can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4pm, and the party officially begins at 7pm.

Trick-or-Treating
This is a fun part of the party for a lot of people. Getting to trick-or-treat around Magic Kingdom is such a unique experience. Plus, the amount of candy cast members give out at each stop will fill out bags quickly (definitely bring a bigger bag, Disney only gives tiny ones). At each stop guests will get scoops of things like M&Ms, Snickers, and Starbursts.
As it gets closer to summer, Disney will announce more details, like which attractions will be open during the party. Special Halloween party food and merchandise will also be announced at a later date.

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
