Hello, Pamela!
Welcome to planDisney! I am squealing with delight because you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this fall. You will get to enjoy the ongoing
50th Anniversary Celebration. My favorite new experience is
Disney’s Fab 50 Character Collection. You will find 50 golden statues on display across all 4 theme parks. They make great photo ops and will interact with the new
MagicBand+ coming out later this year.
I am screaming with ghoulish delight, at the fact that you will be attending
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This is my favorite special-ticketed event because I love how Disney does Halloween. Returning this year is
Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. See your favorite Disney Characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes parade and some Hitchhiking Ghosts. You are in for a wickedly good time with the lovely Sanderson Sisters who will host the
Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular show at Cinderella Castle. New this year is Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a nighttime fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington. A hauntingly good time will be enjoyed by all who attend.
Your ghost host has made final arrangements for you to start your party a little early if you wish. Guests with tickets to this special event can enter the Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM. Be sure to see a Cast Member for your wristband when you enter so the spirits will know that you have come to see them. You can enjoy any regularly scheduled shows and events without a park pass reservation during those pre-party hours.
Genie+ will only work for Guests who have a valid theme park admission ticket and a park pass reservation. So, if you have tickets with the
Park Hopper Option, you would be able to make Lightning Lane Selections for attractions from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Once the party starts, you will not need Genie+ because there's little to no wait for most rides since a limited number of tickets are sold for the event.
Don’t forget to try the unique party Magic Shots offered by
Disney’s PhotoPass Photographers. You may find out that a ghost has decided to follow you home.
Happy Halloween!
Andrea
