You can see the full episode on the party right here. But Disney also released some answers to the most asked questions and how to best plan for the party — let’s take a look!
When to Arrive
The party begins at 7PM, but you can get into Magic Kingdom as early as 4PM if you have a ticket to the party. Just pick up your party wristbands at the entrance to the park.
One of the planDisney’s pro tips is the following:
- If you have tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and are already in Magic Kingdom, you do not have to leave the park to get your wristband. You can pick up your party wristbands at select locations throughout Magic Kingdom Park. (Panelist Ana Paula)
You can get wristbands at places like Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, or Tortuga Tavern.
Costumes & Trick-or-Treating
Everyone is invited to wear a costume to the party, as long as they follow the official costume guidelines.
Here is planDisney’s pro tip on costumes:
- Dressing up is optional, but this party is your chance to embrace it! And don’t forget to bring an extra bag to take all your treats home in. (Panelist Shantel H.)
As for trick-or-treating with allergies, don’t worry! You can pick up a teal treat bag and then get a token instead of candy. Then, take your tokens and redeem them for allergy-friendly treats at one of two locations: the Liberty Square Ticket Office or the Chamber of Commerce.
Here is planDisney’s pro tip for getting allergy-friendly treats:
- When guests arrive to pick up their allergy-friendly treats, they’ll be able to choose from a variety of goodies, and they’ll even be able to see an ingredients list for added peace of mind. (Panelist Jennifer S.)
