Hi Barrie! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear that you're visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during the Halloween season! This is one of my favorite times of the year to visit, especially with the return of
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! This event offers it all, including some amazing entertainment and special character meet-and-greet opportunities.
I was able to confirm that
Be Our Guest Restaurant will be open during the Halloween party. Advanced Dining Reservations are now available to begin booking for dates 60 days in advance. However, additional details have not been released just yet, including information pertaining to the menu. It does state that there will be party-exclusive menu items available, but you'll need to check back soon for additional details. With the first party set to take place on August 15th, we should know more by then about what items will be different.
Since
reservations are available now for your arrival window, you can always secure a time to dine at Be Our Guest on this night. If you decide to change your mind, you can always cancel or modify your reservation leading up to your stay, as long as you defer to the
policies in place. Currently, Guests can cancel or modify specific reservations up to two hours before their reservation time; otherwise, they will be automatically charged a per-person fee. Keep in mind that these policies are subject to change at any time, so make sure you stay up-to-date on the current one in place.
If you're looking for a
special character meet and greet, Jack Skellington and Sally are planning to return this year and meet exclusively with Guests during the party. My family was lucky to catch them a few years ago, and this character meet did not disappoint. The interaction was incredible, and we have some amazing photos that were captured.
Barrie, I hope you have a magical time during your stay! Stop back and
see us again at planDisney with any additional Disney vacation planning questions!
