Hello Martha, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a great question.
If you are thinking about attending a special event or party at the Walt Disney World Resort, let me be the first person to congratulate you on an excellent decision. Special events like
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will offer you and your family the opportunity to experience special nighttime parades, fireworks, character interactions, unique PhotoPass photo ops, limited edition merchandise and themed treats and dining options.
The Magic Kingdom closes early to regular theme park guests and only ticket holders for the event may enter. These events usually start at 7:00 P.M. Policies are always subject to change but currently, your special event ticket will allow you to enter the park up to three hours early, at 4:00 P.M. If you wish to enter the Magic Kingdom earlier in the day, you would need a valid theme park admission ticket to do so. Otherwise, you can come a few hours early and enjoy some pre-party magic before the party begins. You can purchase your tickets by calling (407) 939-1872. If you need any other help planning your magical trip, come back and visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
