Hello Carol! Welcome the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
On our Walt Disney World Resort vacation in August, my family partook in
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. To get ready for the event we booked
Magical Makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - Magic Kingdom and a meal at
Be Our Guest Restaurant before the festivities were even scheduled to begin at 7pm. We did all of this gaining access shortly before 5pm and were granted admittance on our Mickey's Not-So-Scary Special Event Tickets.
There is no "official" time that Cast Members set up the Special Queue for Guests to begin entering with their
Special Event tickets, however some Guests have reported entry as early as 4pm. Basically, once Cast Members set up the Special Queue for entrance and wristbands, they will begin letting Guests enter Magic Kingdom and it is usually well before the official 7pm start time to accommodate Guests before the festivities begin.
I was confident that we would be able to gain entry in time for our Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - Magic Kingdom Makeover Reservations just before 5pm.
Check with a Cast Member when you arrive early at Magic Kingdom to inquire if the queue for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is available.
Have a Spook-tacular Visit!
