Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

Every one loves Halloween, and every one loves Magic Kingdom, right? So why not go along to the most magical ' not so scary' party in town?

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is the Magic Kingdom's annual nod to all things spooktacular and is a fantastic night for the whole family to experience something that little bit different.

As a ticketed event, partygoers have exclusive use of the park on one of the many selected nights throughout the Halloween season.  

Guests with out a ticket must vacate the park by 7pm so a useful tip for those too frightened to attend is to check the schedules while planning your itinerary, as your day is cut short and there is therefore no evening parade or Wishes.

The park is transformed in to a smoke filled and colourfully ghoulish place fit for only the spookiest and most devilish of our favourite frightful and nasty Disney villains, many of whom only come out on these special evenings.  So for the keen meet and greeters out there this is a once a year chance to meet some special and seldom seen characters, the most special of which for me is a photo opportunity with all seven dwarfs, and others such as Jack Skellington and the witch from Snow White, as well as all your favourite classic characters dressed in their Halloween costumes-after all, it's their party too!

Upon entering the park be sure to collect your party specific map and time guide and plan your evening out.  The crowds are busy and not every attraction and dining location is open, so another reason to plan out your night, you only have 5 hours to squeeze it all in!

This is a unique opportunity for guests to dress up in the park and at times it can be tough to distinguish the guests from the various parades and shows that take place throughout the night, such is the effort that guests put in for this seasonal treat that has become a staple in the WDW calendar.

There is the exclusive Mickey's Boo to You Halloween parade, with a frightful combination of haunting figures and the worst of Disney's villains on the floats and interacting with the crowd, but don't get too close, would you trust Cruella, Captain Hook or Jafar?  There are two parades on the night, so beat the crowds by planning what to do during one of them.

There may be no Wishes, but party guests are instead treated to an exclusive Hallo-wishes fireworks display, a near 360 degrees extravaganza set to the themes of all Disney villains from through the years.  This is a real treat and well worth the entry alone.  If you are lucky enough to be around any of the resorts at MK then you'll be in for a treat seeing this from distance, but it is most definitely best seen, heard and felt inside the park.

Party goers young and old can also follow the trick or treat treasure hunts throughout the park, found on your park map these provide a great opportunity to see the full park in its exclusive Halloween glory and pick up some tasty treats Along the way!

Tickets for the party are around $75 per person so it can make for an expensive evening, especially for large families having already splashed out on theme park tickets.  That said, if both Halloween is a special time for the family, or you fancy something a bit different from your Disney holiday it is absolutely worth doing. 

 

For families with memory makers this is an opportunity to get even more value for money with all of the exclusive and unlimited one time only snaps you will get of characters and of areas of the park you will never see like that on a normal day.  Visit Haunted Mansion for some really spooky photo bombers you won't even know were there until you check your photos later.  

Too scared to give it a go? Don't be, it's magically spooktacular!
