Greetings Rhiannon!
Welcome back to planDisney!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a hauntingly good time, and I’m glad to see that you want to jump off your flight and rush to the fun!
First to answer your question, yes, after you arrive at Orlando International Airport and use your chosen form of transportation to get to
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, you certainly can leave your bags with
Bell Services, and they will hold them until you arrive back to your room that evening.
Since you are arriving at 5pm and there could be airline delays and baggage wait times, you will more than likely be an hour before you are able to board transportation to your resort. A ride share or taxi that will take you directly to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will take approximately 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. That means you will be at your resort checking your bags in around 6:30pm if there are no delays. Taking a Disney bus to the Magic Kingdom takes about 25 minutes so you can arrive at the party around 7pm. This scenario takes into consideration no delays along the way.
If possible, I would recommend waiting another night to join Mickey for his
Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The ticket for this event allows you to enter the park at 4pm so you will gain that time to enjoy the park, not be rushed, and give you time to dress up in your favorite costume for a night of trick-or-treating!
Rhiannon, if you do decide that your party night is the night you arrive in town, you might want to arrange for a
Minnie Van to take you from the Caribbean Beach Resort to the Magic Kingdom after you drop off your luggage at Bell Services. This could save you some waiting time at the bus stop and could get you to the party a bit sooner.
The schedule for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party’s for 2026 hasn’t been released yet. When the schedule comes out, I hope you find the perfect night to have a spectacularly spooky night with Mickey and his ghoul friends! Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for details and great new information on all things Disney!
Rhiannon, have a spooktacular time!
Kurt
