Hey there, Nathaniel, and welcome to planDisney! It's so great that you've stopped by with this question today. I'm so happy you've chosen to trust us with your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning!
Nathaniel, I'm so happy that you're aware of
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and that you are working to understand how it changes the hours that
Magic Kingdom Park is available to Guests without a ticket to the event. I struck up a conversation with a Guest on the bus one time who was totally unaware that they'd need to leave Magic Kingdom early due to the party, and I wish I'd been able to help them sooner. I've heard that Magic Kingdom can feel a little less crowded on days when there's an after-hours event, so you might be onto something here! On a day when there is a Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party scheduled, Magic Kingdom Park closes at 6:00pm. Party Guests can enter the park as early as 4:00pm and will receive a wristband to indicate that they have valid admission. Without a wristband, Cast Members will direct you toward the exit beginning at 6:00pm.
Did you know that you'll be visiting Walt Disney World Resort during the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? It's so much fun to try all of the unique, seasonal snacks and drinks throughout EPCOT! I highly recommend grabbing a Festival Passport near the park entrance to help guide you throughout the park. You're sure to have a blast!
Nathaniel, please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to plan your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! I'm here and happy to help!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
