Of course, Halloween at Magic Kingdom won’t be back to normal – unfortunately, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will not be back this year.
However, during its 50th anniversary, it made sense that as many stops as possible would be pulled to raise the bar as safely as possible.

“The experience offers low wait times at more than 20 attractions from classics like the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, to newer favorites like Seven Dwarfs Mine Trail,” wrote Sarah Domenech. “It’s a ghostly good time for all!
“Tickets will go on sale next month, with an early purchase window available to guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels.”

A few years back, Disney really kept the numbers down on their traditional Halloween and Christmas parties. More recently, not so much.
But, given that the parks are running at low capacity right now, it stands to reason that a return to smaller crowds is in the offing.
