Happy Halloween, Vikki! It sounds like you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during the spookiest season of the year!
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade takes place during
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! The party is held on select nights at
Magic Kingdom Park. Guests who wish to attend the party must purchase a separate party admission ticket for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
The Halloween party begins at 7:00 PM, but party ticketholders can enter Magic Kingdom Park as early as 4:00 PM. Magic Kingdom Park will close at 6:00 PM for Guests who don’t have a ticket for the Halloween Party.
Vikki, in your question, you mentioned “participating” in the parade. While Guests can’t participate in Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, they are certainly allowed to watch the parade as it travels through Magic Kingdom Park! One of my family’s favorite parts of the Halloween party comes just before the parade as the Headless Horseman makes his haunted ride along the parade route! This is a “must-see” part of the Halloween party!
Come on back to planDisney as you continue planning your fall visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Dreams do come true!
