Hey there, Samantha!
I’m so happy to welcome you to planDisney, and thank you for bringing your question our way! How exciting that you’re already planning your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Even though your visit is still more than a year away, this gives you the perfect amount of time to start planning all those magical details you’re looking forward to.
From choosing your favorite
dining experiences and mapping out your park days to leaving some time to relax at your
resort pool or explore
Disney Springs, there’s plenty to think about. And, of course, in your case, you’ll also have
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to look forward to! I’m so excited that you’re planning to attend this popular special-ticketed event. It’s one of my favorite ways to celebrate the Halloween season at Walt Disney World!
One of the great
perks of staying at a Disney Resort is that you’ll have an opportunity to purchase your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets before Guests staying elsewhere. For example, this year, Disney Resort Guests were able to purchase their 2026 party tickets beginning May 5th, while tickets opened to all other Guests on May 12th. Keep in mind that during that early purchase window, you’ll only be able to purchase tickets for Guests who are staying at the Resort with you. Any Guests who aren’t staying on property will need to wait until tickets open to everyone.
Since your trip is still a little ways away, I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as you get closer to spring. That’s typically where you’ll find the first announcements about the party dates, ticket prices, and purchase windows. For a helpful point of reference, the 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates and details were announced on April 28th this year.
Samantha, I hope this has been helpful. You have plenty of time to plan, so enjoy the fun of counting down to your spooktacular vacation! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
