Hey, Alice!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so glad you asked this question. You do not need a special events ticket to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to enjoy your dining reservation. The party does not officially begin until 7:00 p.m. so Guests not attending the party may stay until that time or until they complete their meal.
If you decide after your meal that you want to attend the party and there are tickets available, just visit
Guest Relations at City Hall for more information or exit Magic Kingdom Park and stop by a ticket counter to purchase a ticket. This is one of the best parties of the year and has my favorite fireworks,
Happy HalloWishes Fireworks. It's sorcery in the sky. I also love seeing the Headless Horseman and Hitchhiking Ghosts (Phineas, Ezra, and Gus) during
Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade.
Disney Dad Tip: There are many amazing Disney Characters at
Walt Disney World Resort that only come out during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Last year, before the Halloween party began, Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, were greeting Guests at Pete's Silly Sideshow. This is the only time of year to meet these characters and you may be able to do it before the party starts.
Alice, enjoy making many spooktacularly Magical Memories!
