    Hi! We are going to Mickey’s Halloween Party this October 2024. We are excited to enter the park at 4:00pm. Can we purchase Genie+ for our time there? Can we purchase Individual Lighting Lanes? Also, when can we access the Virtual Queue for Tron?

    Hi there, Elise, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning a spook-tacular Halloween visit to Walt Disney World Resort! My family recently experienced Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and we had a frightfully fun time! As your Ghost Host, I'm excited to share my experience with you today, to help you plan for your visit.

    Elise, you'll be haunty - I mean, happy - to know that when you enter Magic Kingdom Park at 4:00pm for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you'll be able to take advantage of the everything that the park has to offer. If you've just hopped over from another Disney Theme Park and have purchased Disney Genie+ Service, you will be able to use it at Magic Kingdom Park before 6:00pm. Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes are not typically offered during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, though I think you'll find that wait times for attractions will be very manageable. That's the beauty of the after-hours event! In the past, there has been a Virtual Queue for TRON: Lightcycle / Run that has opened at 6:00pm. 

    Here are a few of my top tips for making the most of your visit:

    • Enjoy a big meal before you arrive so that you can spend your precious party time experiencing the unique events, and take advantage of fun seasonal snacks throughout the evening
    • Do a bit of trick-or-treating, but don't make that a priority (you'll get plenty of candy!)
    • Plan to watch Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade and arrive early to see the Headless Horseman leading the charge
    • Head to the front of Cinderella Castle for the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular for a spellbinding show featuring the Sanderson Sisters
    • Decide ahead of time which Characters you'd like to meet
    • Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for updates on exciting updates on what you can expect at the party
    • Don't miss The Cadaver Dans Barbershop Quartet!
    Elise, I hope you have an enchanting experience at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this fall. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to countdown to your arrival!

    Happy haunting!
    Jennifer
