Hiya Kelly!
Welcome to planDisney! I love that you are getting ready for an amazing time at Walt Disney World Resort! Special events like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are one of the best events of the year!
There are a few easy ways to enter Magic Kingdom Park for the party. Once it is linked to your My Disney Experience Account you can now use your MagicBand/
MagicBand+ or
Disney MagicMobile pass. Just tap your band or use your smartphone at the entrance and you're in! You can also just have Cast Members scan the barcode from your email right from your phone but it's way faster by just tapping your MagicBand or smartphone instead.
Did you know that even if you do not have a
Standard Theme Park Ticket and
Theme Park Reservation for Magic Kingdom Park you can still enter the Park at 4 PM as a party guest and start having fun? The Party does not officially start until 7 PM but until then you can ride some rides, have a nice meal or just look out for some characters in costume! Many people don't know that guests with party wristbands can start meeting their favorite characters in their Halloween costumes before the official party start time. When you enter the Park for the party they will give you a special party wristband which will allow you to remain and enjoy all of the fun. If you are already in the Park look for the Cast Members in some spooky-themed costumes near "Wristband Distribution" signs. They will be able to check you in and get you a wristband. Make sure you check out the
Foodie Guide from Disney Parks Blog for some snack inspiration.
I hope this helps and you have a spooky yet magical time!
Happy Planning!
