    If I plan a trip for October, am I able to upgrade one of my park passes to the Now SO Scary Halloween party pass when they become available? Or do I need to buy additional tickets.

    Happy Halloween Nick! 

    I know we still have a way to go before we say Trick-or-Treat, but a chance to talk about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has me in a Boo-ti-ful mood! 

    October at the Magic Kingdom has the makings of a hauntingly good time!  Spending one of those nights with Mickey at his Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of our favorite nights of the year!   

    First off, to answer your ticket question, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separate ticket event.  You will need to purchase this ticket individually, and it is not eligible for an upgrade from your other theme park tickets.   

    There are so many spooky and spectacular reasons to join Mickey and his ghoul friends for his Halloween Party! Even though we don’t have the specific dates or experiences for 2026 to confirm yet, we know from last year that food, parades, dance parties and of course a spectacular fireworks show will certainly be part of the fun! 

    Our family loves to get in the Trick-or-Treat mood by dressing up in our favorite Halloween costumes, taking a lot of pictures, and eating way too many snacks!  

     We always arrive early to watch people and to enjoy the costumes!  The party has traditionally run from 7pm-midnight, but the party ticket allows you to enter the park at 4pm!  We are always there before 4pm to get in line so we can enter the Magic Kingdom and jump on some of our favorite rides as the park starts to clear out of day guests before the start of the party.  

    We love the spell-binding surprises on some of our favorite Magic Kingdom rides!  In past years, Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain have been magically transformed on party nights!  I’m still waiting to see if those 999 happy haunts need an extra friend! 

    We always stay until the end!  Walking out of the Magic Kingdom with a full bag of candy, a night full of memories, and at least one Mickey Bar to go is the perfect night for me! 

    Nick, keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for information on dates and what to look forward to from Mickey for his 2026 party! And believe me, it’s not so scary! 

    Have a magical day, Nick!
