    Do you have any tips when going to the Mickey's not so scary Halloween party? This will be our first time going to it this year.

    Greetings, Foolish Mortal (A.K.A - Laura!)

    Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! Prepare for a spellbinding adventure where pixie dust sparkles in the air and a hint of SPOOK-tacular mystery dances around every corner. The twinkling lights, enchanting music, and playful chills will have you grinning from ear to ear. Hold on tight because your trip is going to be frightfully fun and MAGICALLY unforgettable!

    I must say you will love experiencing Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! From the dazzling “Boo-To-You” Parade to the jaw-dropping fireworks show, every moment is packed with wickedly wonderful entertainment you can’t find anywhere else. You’ll stroll through a transformed Magic Kingdom, where even the attractions get a mischievous Halloween twist and candy flows like treasure from a pirate’s chest. Best of all, the whole event is more treat than trick, making it perfect for all ages to laugh, dance, and make memories well past the witching hour.

    Here are some tips on how to make the most of every ghostly giggle and mysterious moment to make this PAR-TAY absolutely unforgettable (especially since this will be your first time - WOO HOO)!

    1. Arrive Early and Soak in the Atmosphere – Even though the party officially starts at 7:00 PM, your ticket lets you into Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM! That means extra time to enjoy attractions, grab a bite to eat, and snap some daylight costume pics before the spooky fun begins. Plus, you can scope out the best candy spots before the lines grow.

    2. Hit the Special Entertainment First – The “Boo-To-You” Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks are must-sees. These only happen during the party, so plan your night around them. Trust me—you’ll still have time for attractions after you’ve danced with hitchhiking ghosts.

    3. Wear a Costume You Can Actually Survive In – Yes, that head-to-toe monster getup is epic, but remember—you’ll be walking, dancing, and possibly braving Florida humidity. Choose something festive yet comfy, and bonus points if it’s Disney-inspired. Don’t forget good walking shoes, because evil queen blister feet is a vibe no one wants.

    4. Maximize Your Trick-or-Treating Game – Those candy lines can get long early on, so consider starting later in the evening when they’re shorter. Oh, and Cast Members tend to get a little extra generous with the scoops. You can also bring your own bigger bag, unless you want to see just how fast you can fill that tiny party one. Waiting later eliminates the issue of carrying heavy candy bags throughout the night. 

    I sure hope these tips help you in your planning. If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    See You Real Soon!
