Hi Cassandra. Thanks so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I love how proactive you are being with your vacation planning!
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a favorite of my kiddos. The
Magic Kingdom is transformed into a giant Halloween party on select nights throughout August through October.
My kiddos love the parade, seeing our favorite Disney Characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes and the fireworks are always the perfect ending to our fun day in the theme park! Of course, their favorite activity at the party is when they get to trick-or-treat throughout Magic Kingdom Park. It's "best day ever" kind of memory making. I know you are going to love it!
When you purchase
special event tickets for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party, you purchase them for a specific night. So - while your idea to purchase the tickets this year is a great one, the dates for the 2019 parties wont be available until 2019.
As you continue planning your vacation, I would highly encourage you to make sure
Memory Maker is on your list of items to purchase prior to your trip. The photos we have from our time at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party are some of my favorites. The Magic Shots created by the
Disney PhotoPass Photographers are spooktacular!
Thanks so much for sharing your question with the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Have a great time planning and let us know if we can help with other tips as you plan your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
