Hi there, Alfredo, and welcome to planDisney!
Your upcoming stay is getting frightfully closer every second, so I’m glad you’ve stopped by to ask your question.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is my all-time favorite Walt Disney World Resort event, but it’s also a lot of others’ favorite as well, especially on Halloween. I understand your frustration about missing out due to a sold-out event, so let’s talk about your options.
I will be very honest. While it is not impossible, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets on sold-out nights are hard to come by. I have seen tickets become available in the past on sold-out nights that I’ve attended. But this is most definitely not a guarantee, especially with it being the most festive night of the year (Halloween).
If you are staying on property at one of the Disney Resort Collection hotels, it won’t hurt to ask the front desk to see if they can double check the system to see if any last-minute tickets are available.
Also, before you cancel your plans, consider a couple of these ideas:
-Visit the theme parks during the day on Halloween. Two years ago, I dressed up my little ones in
Toy Story costumes (kiddos 13 years and under can do this year round), and we took photos with
PhotoPass photographers and went to sweet shops like the Main Street Confectionary as if we were trick-or-treating. Or you can stop by one of my favorite character dining restaurants,
Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Minnie Mouse and her friends dress up in their Halloween best, and you can meet them as you eat.
-Attend the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party that takes place on two nights before Halloween, November 2, or the night after Halloween, November 1. I’m actually attending much earlier in the season, and I’m happy to know that my boys will have the same experience no matter what—and we’ll still get to trick-or-treat around our neighborhood on Halloween.
AN EXTRA GEM: Keep an eye on
Disney Parks Blog for your future Halloween time vacations. This way, next year you will be among the first to find out about the event dates and ticket sales. This popular, not-so-scary shindig can sometimes sell out quickly, so purchase the tickets as soon as you can.
I hope that I could help turn your frown upside down. Your little Mouseketeers are so lucky to have a parent who is willing to do some detective work in order to make their spooky season dreams come true! I’m sending lots of pixie dust your way, Alfredo. If you have any other questions about your future vacations,
give us a holler here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
