Greetings, Rebecca!
We’re happy to have you visiting planDisney, and we’re even more excited to hear that you have plans to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth during the spookiest time of the year! Mua-ha-ha-ha! The villains will be most delighted to have you joining in their fun!
Rebecca, you are more than welcome to visit Magic Kingdom before
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party with the correct ticketing and park reservations. Wristbands and trick-or-treating bags for the party will be handed out by Cast Members throughout the park (usually in Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Adventureland, as well as at the very front of the theme park) all you'll need to do is scan your ticket. Then the fun can begin!
I always like visiting Magic Kingdom during the day before any after-hours ticketed events! Typically you’ll see slightly lower crowds before parties — so I’m really glad that you’re taking advantage of this prime time at Magic Kingdom! Before the park closes to welcome in the spirits from somewhere beyond, I recommend visiting one of my favorite villain’s watering hole:
Gaston’s Tavern! In the heat of the day, LeFou’s Brew (a frozen apple juice with a touch of toasted marshmallow topped with passion fruit and mango foam) is the perfect pick-me-up! This drink also pairs well with the Crème Brûlée Croissant. And, my favorite bathrooms happen to be located just beyond Gaston’s Tavern. They’re always extra quiet and extra clean!… If you find yourself needing a place to freshen up before Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, this would be the place to go!
When the Halloween party does commence, be sure to listen and dance to the Rusty Cutlass Pirate Band! They're always playing haunting tunes outside of
Pirates of the Caribbean. They're my personal favorite, and they always enjoy an adoring (and dancing) crowd! I also highly recommend watching the “Boo-To-You” Parade during Mickey’s Halloween Party! This is BY FAR my favorite Disney Parade to date! The performers are incredible, the music is very catchy, and you’ll see things that you’ve never experienced at a Disney Parade before.
I hope you enjoy every happy haunting moment of your trip to Disney World. If you have any additional questions, evil or not, before your trip, Rebecca, we hope you'll visit us again at planDisney.
Hurry back!
