Hi Brittany! Welcome to planDisney.
Oh Boy! I bet you and the gang are so excited for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I plan on attending next week myself. On my shortlist are the
"Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade,
Mickey's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show, and unique character interactions. I suggest you make a priority list of your not to miss shows, attractions, and special meet and greets.
I think you are absolutely on track to take care of dining prior to the start of the party. This way you do not miss valuable party time on meal time. As you noted, without a
Theme Park Ticket and
Disney Park Pass Reservation, you cannot enter
Magic Kingdom Park until 4:00 PM with your party ticket. You will not be allowed to enter earlier. I do have a fun suggestion for dining before 4:00 PM. Why not visit one of the Monorail loop
Disney Resort Collection hotels for a bite to eat? I recommend
Steakhouse 71 at
Disney's Contemporary Resort. For a quick-service option, stop by
Capt. Cook's at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for the
Thai Coconut Meatballs or the Pulled Pork Nachos. At
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, I love the sandwiches and macaroni and cheese from
Gasparilla Island Grill.
If you do wait to dine once you enter Magic Kingdom Park, remember you can
Mobile Order from many quick-service restaurants right from your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. I adore the
Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich from
Sleepy Hollow. Try the specialty-themed
Halloween Pain and Panic All-Beef Hot Dog from
Casey's Corner.
Keep your mobile app handy for the events guide right in the palm of your hand. Have a blast Trick-or-Treating in Magic Kingdom Park.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
