Happy Halloween!!!

Okay, we are VERY excited for the OFFICIAL start of spooky season in Disney World. The Halloween decorations are UP in Magic Kingdom, the Halloween treats have arrived, and the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is underway. So why don’t you join us for the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year? We’ll take you through all the sights, sounds, snacks, and more! Let’s go!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event that occurs on select nights in Magic Kingdom from now through October 31st. Although the party doesn’t officially start until 7PM (when Magic Kingdom closes to those without a party ticket), those with tickets can get into Magic Kingdom as early as 4PM.  

Ticket prices start at $119 and go up to $199 depending on the date you plan to attend. We’ve got all the dates and ticket prices right here. Party tickets for each party are limited, so you get exclusive access to Magic Kingdom with fewer crowds, as well as exclusive party entertainment, food, ride overlays, and more.

Getting Started

Like we previously said, a party ticket can get you into Magic Kingdom three hours before the official party start time. Once you scan into the park, you’ll get a party wristband from a Cast Member. You’ll need this wristband because it separates party visitors from Magic Kingdom’s day visitors.

If you’re already in Magic Kingdom for the day, you can pick up a wristband at different spots in Magic Kingdom. Look for signs that say “Wristband Distribution.”

Crowds

We headed into Magic Kingdom right at 4PM to take full advantage of the party and were met with some pretty large crowds at the TTC — we definitely weren’t the only ones thinking the same thing! There were also some delays at the TTC, which didn’t help crowds — a parking tram broke down in the parking lot, AND the Monorail was delayed.

While getting through the TTC was rough, by the time we actually made it to the park, entrance lines weren’t bad at all!

Just look at how open it is!

As people walked into the special entrance Cast Members directed party-goers to, Cruella was waving hello to guests and greeting them in her unique way.

Interestingly, one of the LONGEST lines we spotted during the party was NOT for a ride! In fact, that long line was located in Liberty Square at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments.

Here’s a tip for ya: if you’re looking for a treat from Sleepy Hollow, place a mobile order instead!

We’ll keep you updated on the rest of the crowds!

We Were NOT Expecting These Crowds at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! |

The Map

When you enter Magic Kingdom for the party, you’ll be able to pick up a special party map that will have all the party details you need, including showtimes for entertainment, trick-or-treating, character meet and greets, and more.

This thing can come in handy, so make sure to keep one on you at all times! Plus, it makes a fun souvenir.

Trick-or-Treating

One of the most fun things you can do at the party is go trick-or-treating. Yes, adults get to trick-or-treat in Disney World! You’ll be given a reusable treat bag when you enter the park for the party. Pro tip: bring your own bag because the free bags are WAY too small for all the candy you’ll get.

There is also a special treat bag for those with food allergies. Oh, and here’s a peek at the special m&m’s treat you’ll get as you enter the party!

You’ll find spots all over the park where you can get some candy — check the park map for locations.

Wait. Can I Get FULL-SIZE CANDY at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2024? 

Food

Okay, the BEST part of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is the exclusive food you’ll find at the party (yes, we’re biased because we ARE the Disney FOOD Blog). We started the party with a little sweet treat! This is the Minnie Witch Hat from Main Street Bakery — available for $7.99. Stay tuned for our full review.

Costumes

Before you even ask, YES, you CAN wear a costume to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Note that Disney does have specific rules about costumes, though.

For visitors ages 13 and under:

• Costumes and some costume masks may be worn; masks must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.

For Guests 14 Years of Age or Older:

• Costumes may be worn according to these guidelines. Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from Disney parks, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards:
• All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.
• Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
• Costumes may not contain any props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
• Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.
• Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses)
• Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist.
• Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats are acceptable.
• Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus. Costume headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.
• Costume masks of any kind may not be worn.

We’ll be on the lookout for more fun costumes at this year’s event!
