For this year’s Halloween trip, we decided it was time to go back to Walt Disney World, to enjoy another Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
I love both Halloween and Disney, so to me, this is the perfect Halloween event! Plus, it is the only time you are allowed to wear a full costume as an adult at the Disney Parks, which just adds to the fun!
This year, we brought friends a long and decided to go as Disney Villains- perfect for this time of year!
We went as Ursula, Cruella, Captain Hook and Oogie Boogie and had a villainously good time making our way around the park.
One Cast Member even voted us Best Costumes!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a limited ticket event running at Magic Kingdom select nights from mid August until Halloween night. The official party runs from 7 p.m. until midnight, but with a party ticket you are able to enter the park as of 4 p.m.
You pick up your wristband and enter through another section of Magic Kingdom to pick up your Trick or Treat bag.
From 4-7 p.m., you can enjoy the rides etc and then by 7 p.m anyone who doesn’t have a party ticket has to leave the park and the Halloween party festivities begin!
There is exclusive party merchandise and food available around the park. This year, I got the Minnie Winnie Sipper, the Madame Leota Seance Candle (red velvet cake with cookies and cream mousse) and the Grave Yard Milkshake (Chocolate milkshake with a dipped graveyard jelly doughnut and candy!) In my opinion, all worth it!
There are numerous treat stations around the park to go trick or treating at. For a bit of extra fun, be sure to ask the cast members what their bat is named!
There are lots of character meet and greets with characters like the Winnie the Pooh gang and Mickey all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. It is also a great time to meet some of the villains who you usually won’t find around the parks, as well as Jack and Sally, from The Nightmare Before Christmas, who are only found during this time. Wait times for the characters vary, with Jack and Sally usually being at least an hour wait (we had met them the last time, so didn’t bother waiting again.)
One of my favourite parts of the party is the Halloween entertainment.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular firework and laser show on Cinderella Castle happens at 10 p.m each party.
Mickey’s ‘Boo-To-You’ Halloween parade happens twice a night, featuring Disney characters in their costumes, all the villains and more, with the Headless Horseman leading the way.
The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, is my favourite, with 3-4 shows a night on the castle stage.
The Sanderson Sisters are back and need help from their Villainous friends to cast a spell!
As it is a limited ticket event, the wait time for rides is a lot less. Many of the rides were walk on and the longest we waited was 15 minutes, which is a nice change from regular park visits. Of course a visit to the Haunted Mansion was the perfect way to close our night of spooky fun!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is definitely one of my favourite places to celebrate spooky season!
Happy Halloween!
Halloween is my favourite holiday. I love the decorations, Hocus Pocus, carving pumpkins, and most of all – dressing up. It’s a magical holiday, so what better place to celebrate than at one of the most magical places on earth! Disney World is one of my favourite places to visit and I’ve always wanted to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with the magic of the park. So this year, I headed to Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to celebrate Halloween with Mickey and the gang.
It was a great night at the park with all of Magic Kingdom decorated for Halloween, but one of my very favourite parts was getting to dress up in costume and seeing everyone else dressed up, wandering around this magical place!
