Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween Party (Magic Kingdom)
Mickey's Not-so Scary Halloween Party takes place on select nights throughout the months of August-November this year. The party runs from 7pm til midnight each night that it is offered. There are several attractions and activities that are exclusive to the Halloween parties: you can see many of your favorite Disney characters all dressed up in their Halloween costumes, trick-or-treat at select locations throughout the park,
see the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular, watch Mickey's Boo to You Halloween Parade, and top off the night by watching Happy Hallowishes-a dazzling fireworks display with a Halloween theme.
These parties are separately ticketed events and are NOT included in your park admission to Magic Kingdom. I recommend purchasing your tickets as early as possible, as there are a limited number of tickets sold for each party and they do tend to sell out. Prices start at $79 plus tax.
