The notion of donning your favorite costume and heading to Magic Kingdom for a candy extravaganza is ultra-appealing, but hold off on buying those Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets until you've considered this guide!

Each year, we dive into the Halloween festivities to bring you top-notch tips. Here's what you need to know before securing your spot.
The Halloween parties are happening on select nights between August 15th and October 31st. Here are six must-know tips to help you make the most of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

This is significant because the party itself kicks off at 7 PM. This gives you a three-hour window to enjoy the theme park before the exclusive snacks, rare character meet-and-greets, and entertainment begin.

Use this time to hop on rides, have a meal at a table-service spot, and snap some costume photos before it gets too dark.

While your costume might be amazing, keep in mind that Florida’s fall is still warm and humid, making heavy costumes uncomfortable. Consider swapping to a more breathable outfit after snapping photos. Opt for comfortable shoes—even the best-looking boots might not be ideal for hours of walking.

Rain is common during August to October, but the party will likely go on! Entertainment may adjust, but Disney strives to proceed if it's safe. If weather cancels the party you're unlikely to get a refund unless Disney cancels due to severe weather.

Many attractions remain open, including TRON, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and Jungle Cruise. Just note that long lines could cut into your time watching the parade. Some rides even feature Halloween-themed twists like Space Mountain with lights out and special effects at Mad Tea Party.

Not all rides or restaurants will be available. Dining spots may turn into candy stations. Prioritize any attractions or meals by arriving as early as possible. Snag some treats like Poison Apple Churros, and consider eating before the party to avoid hungry spells.

You can meet fascinating characters, but lines close early for popular figures like Jack and Sally. Queue up early to secure your spot!
We love the annual Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and can't wait for 2025's festivities! Check past posts for details, and be ready for ticket sales starting May 22nd. Follow Disney Food Blog for more updates.
