Hi there, Theresa! Thanks for bringing your excellent planning question to planDisney! Knowing the park schedules is an important part of planning a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is held on select nights at
Magic Kingdom Park. On dates that the party is scheduled, it is not a typical practice for the park to open early. Magic Kingdom Park is scheduled to open for Early Theme Park Entry at 8:30 for Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel and at 9:00 for all other Guests. Looking at the schedule from now through October 31, 2024, I don’t see any earlier opening times on Halloween party dates.
Theresa, I strongly encourage you to check the operating schedule for Magic Kingdom Park frequently. While operating hours are posted on the
Disney Parks Calendar, it is not unusual for posted operating hours to be updated as we get closer to the actual dates. This is true of Magic Kingdom Park as well as the other three parks.
Here is a PRO TIP for you, Theresa! Some Guests prefer visiting Magic Kingdom Park on Halloween party dates because while not guaranteed, historically, attendance in the park tends to be lower than on non-party days. The park closes for day Guests at 6:00 PM on party dates. If you spend from park opening to 6:00 PM at Magic Kingdom Park, you'll get a full-day experience!
Dreams do come true!
