Boo-To-You, Susan! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this spooktacular question!
I'm so excited to hear that you'll soon be attending
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! This is one of my favorite
Walt Disney World Resort events, and you're sure to have a ghoulishly good time. There's so much to see and do at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so once the party starts, you'll likely want to devote your time to taking it all in. I think you have the right idea about scheduling your dinner well before the party begins.
Guests can enter
Magic Kingdom Park at 4:00 p.m. with their Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket. However, unless you have a regular
theme park ticket for that day, you will not be able to enter the park before 4:00 p.m., even with a dining reservation. If you'd like to dine at a
table service restaurant inside Magic Kingdom Park, I recommend making your reservation for around 4:30 p.m.
Magic Kingdom Park also has some great quick-service dining locations if you would prefer one of those options.
While you won't be able to enter Magic Kingdom Park with your party ticket until 4:00 p.m., you could still enjoy an early dinner at one of the nearby
resort hotels along the
monorail route. The last time my family and I attended a party at Magic Kingdom Park, we spent that afternoon at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. We ate an early dinner at the quick-service restaurant,
Capt. Cook's, followed by drinks at
Trader Sam's Grog Grotto.
Since you'll likely be eating dinner early on the day of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you might be hungry for a snack as the night goes on. Be sure to check out the
Foodie Guide to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on the
Disney Parks Blog to plan all of your must-try treats. I would also recommend taking a look at our
planDisney Pocket Guide to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for some great tips and tricks.
Susan, if we can answer any additional questions for you, please don't hesitate to ask. Wishing you a frightfully fun time at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
