Hi Barbara,
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is one of my all time favorite special events at the Magic Kingdom! My whole family LOVES it! They haven't announced the dates for 2011 yet. They usually announce them late spring. This special event does require a special separate event ticket.
To get info on the 2011 MNSSHP dates, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as they usually make announcements there. If you are on twitter, follow @DisneyParks and @WaltDisneyWorld. If you're on Facebook, keep an eye on the official
Disney World Facebook page.
The online calendars are currently posted through August 2011. Hopefully by the time you can start making advanced dining reservations, the September 2011 calendars will be posted.
You can check parks hours including Extra Magic Hours, parade & fireworks schedules for all of the theme parks online by clicking on these links:

Select a month from the drop down list next to the
View Month tab. From there, click on a specific day for parade & fireworks schedules. Be sure to pick up a
Times Guide as you enter the parks to confirm as schedules are always subject to change without notice.
Wishing you many magical memories :-) Allison
