Full Guide to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed after-hours event at Magic Kingdom each fall! Well, it technically usually starts in the summer, with party dates happening from August through October.

On nights when the party is happening, Magic Kingdom closes early to regular guests, and you can only stay in the park or get into the park if you have a ticket to the party.

Tickets & Hours

In 2025, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets will range from $119 to $229 per ticket, plus tax (prices vary by event date) for guests ages 10 and up. The dates can sell out and do, so don’t wait to get your tickets once they go on sale.

The party starts at 7PM and runs until midnight, so it’s 5 hours long. But, if you have a ticket to the party, you can get into Magic Kingdom as early as 4PM, so you get 3 extra hours before the party even begins!

Map & Checking In

When you get to Magic Kingdom for the party, you will be given a wristband to indicate that you are a party guest. There is usually a separate entrance for party guests to get into the park.

If you’re already in the park, you can go to the wristband distribution centers around Magic Kingdom to pick up your wristband. When you get this, you will also get your party map, which will tell you everything you need to know about the party!

And, you’ll get your bag for trick-or-treating!

Trick-or-Treat Trails

A big part of the Halloween party is trick-or-treating! The candy is located on the trick-or-treat trails around the park and it’s included in the price of your ticket.

The locations for the trick-or-treat trails can be found on the map or you can find them marked by the large, lit up inflatables around the park.

Each trail offers similar candy. And, there are allergy-friendly options if you want them! Just pick up a teal-colored treat bag from a Cast Member and when you visit the trick-or-treat trails, you’ll get a teal token.
