    I have a hopper pass and I have dinner reservations for 7:30 at Be Our Guest. This is also a night of the Mickey Not So Scary Halloween Party. Do I need to purchase tickets to the Mickey Not so Scary Party in order to have dinner during that time?

    Hi Christopher!

    Thanks for bringing this question to planDisney!

    On nights when Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the park closes to regular park guests at 6 PM. So, if you’re hoping to enjoy a meal at Be Our Guest at 7:30 PM, you will need a Halloween party ticket for that night. 

    If you’d like to keep your reservation at Be Our Guest without a party ticket, I recommend modifying your reservation for a time prior to the park closing at 6 PM, pending availability. Another option would be to modify the reservation to a night when Magic Kingdom is not hosting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (again, pending availability). 

    Nighttime at Magic Kingdom just got a whole lot more magical on nights when there’s not a Halloween party, so it could very well be worth modifying your reservation to a non-party night. The brand new Starlight parade lights up the park twice per night (subject to change), and Happily Ever After is my all-time favorite nighttime spectacular at Disney World. 

    Of course, if you do decide to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween, you can’t go wrong with that choice either! The party is so much fun, and the unique entertainment is STILL something that my family reminisces about.  

    If you go that route, though, I still recommend trying to modify the dining reservation to a little earlier in the night so that you can truly enjoy all the party time you can!

    I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, let us know!
