Hi Stephen!
I'm so happy to hear you'll be visiting Walt Disney World Resort in September for what's sure to be an amazing, magical time with your wife and two little ones! September is a great time to visit, as the crowds thin out due to the start of most schools in the U.S.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is absolutely my favorite special event at Walt Disney World. Held on select nights in September and October, it's the perfect party for ALL ages - your boys will love it! With special Character Greetings, the Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, and Happy Hallowishes Fireworks, it's truly the most amazing experience. "Not-So-Scary" says it best, as all the Halloween fun is kid-friendly.
Guests are able to trick-or-treat in several locations throughout the park during the party, and they give out the GOOD candy, trust me! Each guest receives a trick-or-treat bag upon entry, or you can bring your own for your candy haul. Guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion - just make sure to follow the
Costume Guidelines (scroll to the bottom for special event costume rules). One thing you won't want to miss is the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular - an awesome stage show, offered several times on party evenings. The performers are incredible, the show is funny, and you'll be singing the songs for days after. It's the best!
I could go on and on about how much fun you'll have at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but I only have limited space for my answer. I hope you'll give it a try on your September vacation, and that your boys love it as much as I do!
Quick Tip: While the party technically "begins" at 7:00pm, guests are allowed to enter Magic Kingdom Park as early as 4pm with a valid party ticket. - Diane W.
