Hiya Iris! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Oh boy! If you have not attended
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you are in for a treat! This is one of my favorite events at Walt Disney World, mostly for the Spooktacular entertainment options that are offered. You have a great idea of getting dinner before the party officially starts since you are not going to want to miss out on any party-related events.
The Crystal Palace is a great selection for dinner on this night. And with Character Dining returning later this month, you will get a chance to meet Pooh and the rest of his friends while at dinner. With the Halloween party not officially starting until 7 PM, you will be able to not only dine with Pooh but see him dressed up in his Halloween costume later that evening. This dining location is closing at 6:55 PM on party nights which is just before the party is set to begin. But don't worry, you will be given plenty of time to enjoy your dining experience.
In addition to Pooh, there are many other character meet and greets to check out during the party. If you are a Nightmare Before Christmas fan like my family is, Jack and Sally are meeting at the Town Square Theater toward the front of the park. This is one of the best interactions you will have with characters and also a unique one at that. Now, if you have little ones in tow that may be a bit spooked by their appearance, this may be one that you consider skipping. Jack does make an appearance at
Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular later this night, so you will have an additional chance to see him.
Iris, I hope you have a magical trip next month!
Stop by planDisney again for answers to any additional questions you may have!
See ya real soon!
