Hi Kelly!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question about
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It's a must-BOO for me and my family each year, and one of my very favorite happenings at Walt Disney World Resort!
On specially-ticketed party nights, Disney's Magic Kingdom Park transforms into a Halloween wonderland, with SPOOKTACULAR happenings throughout the park. Guests can enjoy Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, special Character Greetings (Jack Skellington, anyone?), and my favorite - Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular. Event guides provided at the entrance to the park provide guests with times and locations for all the activities and Halloween fun. We always enjoy tasting all the special Halloween party treats offered at select locations around the park - yum!
While the official start time for the party is 7PM, guests are typically allowed entry into the party at 4PM with a valid party ticket. Some guests will already be dressed in their costumes at this time, and you will continue to see more guests filter in wearing their costumes as the afternoon goes on. Once the clock strikes seven, you'll hear the "knell of a Requiem bell" to signal the start of the festivities!
I hope you have an amazing time at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Have a magical day! - Diane W.
