Hi Tracey ~
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is one of my favorite special events at the Magic Kingdom (MK).
MNSSHP is a special event that is held on select evenings from 7 p.m. - midnight and does require a separate event ticket. If you are planning to go to MK during the day and attend MNSSHP that evening, you will need a regular admission ticket during the day and a special event ticket for that evening. On the evenings that it is held, MK closes early and only those Guests with the special event tickets are allowed to enter or remain in the park once MNSSHP begins at 7 p.m.
​Because it is a special ticketed event, the MK isn't as crowded which shortens lines and makes it easier to maneuver the park. I make my main focus the special events available only during MNSSHP. Everyone (including adults) is encouraged but not required to dress up.
Here are some highlights that take place
only during MNSSHP:
* Trick-or-Treat locations throughout the park (these will be shown on the Guide Map)
* Special Character Meet & Greets (often unique ones only seen during special events)
* Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade - the Headless Horseman and the Grave Diggers make this parade worth the price of admission (its easier to get a good spot for the 2nd parade)
* Happy HalloWishes fireworks
* Villains' Dance Mix & Mingle
There are also character dance parties. Not every attraction is open during MNSSHP but the most popular ones will be (check the special MNSSHP Guide Map for a complete list).

Wishing you minnie magical memories :-) Allison V.
