    Can you use lightning lane passes during Mickey's Not so scary event? Are the rides open during the event?

    Boo to you, Christina! I'm as happy as a grim-grinning ghost to see your question materialize here at planDisney! With your upcoming Halloween visit, it looks like you've got plans to attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, one of my favorite special events at the Walt Disney World Resort! So let's dig into your question so you can plan for a night of tricks and treats!

    Christina, while you cannot purchase Lightning Lane Passes to use during party hours, you'll be happy to know that most wait times will be significantly lower during the party, allowing guests to experience popular attractions and experiences with little to no wait! Because the party has a limited capacity, and because only standby lines are offered, the lines move quickly! This is one of my favorite things about attending seasonal parties; we always feel like we get to ride all of our favorite attractions while also taking advantage of party-exclusive entertainment, character meet and greets, and seasonal snacks!

    In between hopping on and off your favorite attractions, be sure to check out Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular and Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade! These are always spirited fun and the perfect way to get into the Halloween atmosphere! 

    Before I let you go, Christina, let me offer you one quick bonus tip: select attractions have seasonal overlays and fun surprises during the party! Be sure to check out Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Mad Tea Party, and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor for some extra Halloween fun!

    I hope this helps, Christina! And I hope you have the best time at the Halloween party! Remember to beware of hitchhiking ghosts, and come see us again at planDisney if you have any other questions!

    Stay Spooky,
    Alison
