Hi Jennifer!
If you purchase tickets for
Mickey's Halloween Party, you are not required to purchase regular Park admission tickets.
As a matter of fact, I know a few families that only visit the Disneyland Park for Mickey's Halloween Party every year.
The awesome thing about purchasing Mickey's Halloween Party tickets this year is that guests will be allowed to access both the
Disneyland Park and
California Adventure Park three hours prior to the Halloween Party start time.
This means that if you plan ahead, you can access the Parks as early as 4:00pm (Mickey's Halloween Party begins at 7pm), and take daylight pictures with your costumes and enjoy plenty of Park attractions before the festivities begin!
I hope this answers your question!
Have a Spooktacular time and thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
