Hi, Jennie! Welcome to planDisney.
I’m so excited to hear you’re planning to kick off your trip with
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP). What a fun way to start your magical weekend! There’s something so special about stepping into
Magic Kingdom Park on a party night with all the spooky decorations, trick-or-treating, and exclusive entertainment. Between
Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade,
Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, and those rare character meet-and-greets, it’s hands-down one of my favorite events of the year!
You've asked a great question about your park tickets. This one trips up a lot of Guests! To make sure your regular park tickets don’t get used when you enter Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, just head to the special party entrance. It’s usually off to the left of the main gate and clearly marked with signs. That’s where you’ll scan your party ticket and get your wristband, which lets you stay in the park after the regular day Guests leave. It’s a pretty simple process, and the Cast Members there are super helpful if you have any questions!
Try to arrive a little before 4:00 PM so you're one of the first through the gate when they start letting party Guests in. It gives you extra time to snap photos, grab a bite, or hop on a ride or two before the real Halloween fun begins at 7:00 PM. Have the best time, Jennie. Oh, and don’t forget your costume and your sweet tooth!
Mike
