Disney4me Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The idea of wearing your favorite costume and running into Magic Kingdom to collect all the candy your heart desires is so tempting, but before you buy that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, read this! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Every year, we go to the Halloween party so we can learn the best tips and tricks and bring them back to you. Here is everything you should know before buying that ticket. This year, the parties run on select nights from August 15th to October 31st. Here are six bits of knowledge you should learn before heading to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. 1. Your Party Ticket Gets You into Magic Kingdom Starting at 4 PM It’s Maleficent! Why is this a big deal? Because the party doesn’t start till 7 PM. That means you can enjoy three extra hours of normal theme park time before the specialty snacks, rare characters, and entertainment start. Grab a snack! You can hop on a few rides, eat dinner at a table service restaurant (which we highly recommend since you’ll get A LOT of candy), and truly whatever your heart desires. This is also a great time to take pictures in your costume before it gets too dark. 2. You Need to Be Smart About What Costume You Wear The Headless Horeseman We know, we know. You really want to wear that incredible costume you’ve spent months on, meet the coolest characters in it, take epic photos, and everything will be magical! Yes, all of that can still happen, but Magic Kingdom is still in Florida, and Florida doesn’t know what fall is. Orlando in August Even in October (and especially in August when the party starts), Orlando is hot and humid, and costumes with wigs and thick jackets might be too hot. You can always take pictures in your costume and then switch to a short-sleeved version after. For those shoes? We know those boots are perfect for your costume, but you’ll still be walking around a theme park for hours, so maybe stick to the sneakers. 3. Weather Happens and it Can Affect Your Party Rain at a Halloween Party With the heat comes the rain, and August to October is right in the middle of hurricane season. If there’s rain at your party, it’s very likely that the party will continue! There might be changes to entertainment like the parade and fireworks, but if Disney can put on the party safely, they will. Boo To YOU! If it’s raining too much for you, but Disney still throws the party, even if the outdoor shows are cancelled, it can be very difficult to get a refund. When the parties are cancelled, like some were for a hurricane last year, you might be given a full refund or a ticket to come back another day. It depends on what Disney decides to do and how they want to manage it. 4. You Can Still Ride Attractions During the Party Mad Tea Party During the party, a lot of attractions are open, like TRON, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and Jungle Cruise, so you can get a few extra rides at your favorite attraction. While the parties are limited to a certain number of tickets, be aware that for the popular rides, there still might be a long line that could cause you to miss the parade you’ve been wanting to see. Special Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Some rides even get a little Halloween twist, like Space Mountain, where all the lights are turned off, Mad Tea Party with special lighting effects, and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, which showcases Halloween jokes. 5. Some Rides and Restaurants Won’t Be Open During the Party Treat stop While rides are open, it won’t be every ride. Some rides will close when the party starts, and the same goes for restaurants. Some restaurants and snack carts will have special treats for the parties, but some restaurants like Columbia Harbour House are turned into treat locations, so instead of dining, you’ll grab your candy and head out. If there’s a restaurant or ride you want to do, make it a priority by going right when you enter at 4 PM. Poison Apple Churros Sometimes there’s an odd hour between when the park is closed for normal guests but the party hasn’t started yet, and you might especially struggle to find food during this time when the restaurants are changing menus and foods. We highly recommend eating beforehand so you aren’t stuck for an hour with food! 6. Character Lines are Known to Close Early It’s Halloween! You can meet some of the coolest characters at the Halloween party! Jack and Sally, in their new looks, and Mickey and the gang, in their Halloween costumes, will be at the parties this year, but did you know that their lines close early? It’s unlikely you’ll be able to enter the line to meet Mickey at midnight, and because of the popularity of Jack and Sally, they usually close the line early to make sure they can get through the entire queue of people. Jack and Sally If you want to meet characters, make sure you head there earlier in the party, and be aware that those lines can get long!
