Hi Sue!
I'm so excited to hear that you're going to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! This is such a fun event in Magic Kingdom that's full of incredible entertainment and amazing decorations. Plus, there's nothing like trick-or-treating throughout the theme park!
Your ticket to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will allow you to enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4:00 p.m. You don't need a standard
theme park ticket or
theme park reservation as long as you're planning to start your evening at Magic Kingdom at 4:00 p.m. or later. On party nights, my family usually arrives at the theme park between 4:00-4:30 p.m. because that allows us time to sleep in and take it easy in the morning so we have plenty of energy for our late night!
Sue, you'll find there's a lot to enjoy in Magic Kingdom, so it's almost impossible to explore everything in one day, especially if your day starts in the afternoon. If this will be your only day in Magic Kingdom, I recommend that you have everyone put together a "must-do" list, so you can prioritize the attractions and entertainment that are the most important to everyone.
Be sure to grab a good spot for
Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. It's my favorite parade at Walt Disney World Resort and if you get your spot early, you might see the Headless Horseman make his way through the theme park before the parade starts!
Let us know if you have additional questions as your trip approaches. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
