Hi there, Linda, and welcome back to planDisney!
We are officially closer to next Halloween than we are to the last one--that realization sends chills down my spine. Spooky Season at Disney World is definitely in my top three times of year to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. Throwing in a
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party adventure
and dining with Disney Princesses? That's going to be quite the night to remember!
I have ghoulishly good news for you, Linda. With a daytime ticket and valid park admission (undated tickets need a park reservation, too), you can enter
Magic Kingdom any time that you'd like that day. Because it looks like you'll be staying on property, you'll also be able to take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry if that's your jam. This means that you can tap into the magic up to 30 minutes before off-property guests.
Okay, let's talk about your Halloween evening.
Cinderella's Royal Table is an awesome choice for meeting some of the Disney Princesses while having a nice dinner before a long night of fun. The Halloween Party guests (without daytime access) can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m. Either right before you check in to your dining reservation or after your meal, you'll find Cast Members around the theme park with the required party wristbands. Last year's distribution spots were at the following locations: the main park entrance, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, and Fantasyland. If they are the same this year, the Fantasyland Fantasy Faire location will be the closest to the restaurant. One year, I checked in after the party had started at 7 p.m.; so, please don't worry about checking in too late.
AN EXTRA GEM: Check out the planDisney video that I've included in this answer. My pals
Ana Paula and
Ashley F. guide you through how to have a practically perfect night at the Halloween Party.
You are in for the most spooktacular night, Linda! I hope that you enjoy the party as much as my family does. If you have additional Disney vacation questions before, during, or even after your visit,
howl at us here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
