    Do I have to by tickets to magic kingdom in order to attend mickeys not so scary Halloween party?

    Welcome to planDisney Amanda, and thanks for bringing us such a great question! Planning a fall visit to Walt Disney World Resort is always extra exciting, especially when you're considering attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. With all the festive fun, trick-or-treating, special entertainment, and rare character sightings, it's no wonder this special ticketed event is a guest favorite. Let’s take a closer look at how ticketing works for this spooktacular night!

    You do not need to purchase a separate Magic Kingdom park ticket to attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This special event requires its own ticket, which grants you access to Magic Kingdom starting at 4:00 PM on the day of the party. The Halloween festivities officially begin at 7:00 PM. 

    If you wish to enter Magic Kingdom before 4:00 PM on the day of the event, a regular park admission ticket would be necessary. However, many guests find that arriving at 4:00 PM provides ample time to enjoy both the park's regular attractions and the exclusive party offerings. It's important to note that on party nights, Magic Kingdom closes to day guests without event tickets at 6:00 PM. Only those with Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets are permitted to remain in the park after that time.

    Tickets for this event are sold for specific dates and can sell out in advance, my suggestion is to purchase them early to secure your preferred date. Tickets typically go on sale around May.

    If you're planning to spend the entire day at Magic Kingdom and attend the party in the evening, you'll need both a regular park ticket for daytime admission and a separate ticket for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

    Amanda, I hope this clears things up and helps you feel confident as you plan your Halloween time visit! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the most exciting events of the year, and with just the party ticket, you'll be able to enjoy a full evening of exclusive entertainment, festive treats, and magical memories. If you have any more questions about party dates, costume guidelines, or tips for making the most of your night, feel free to stop by again. Wishing you a frightfully fun and pixie dusted Halloween celebration!
