Kids are getting ready to go back or already back to school, which can only mean one thing: Halloween is just around the corner! Disney World starts the party early so there’s plenty of time for everyone to celebrate!

Magic Kingdom is decorated in warm fall colors, and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party kicked off this weekend and has dates scheduled into November!

I had a chance to check out the party courtesy of the nice folks at Disney Media Relations, so today we’re going to take a look at the details for the party including the dates, pricing, and some activities included in the party!

Pricing

Tickets start at $79 for adults and $74 for kids ages 3 to 9 on Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday night parties until mid-September. Friday night parties and Sunday and Tuesday night parties through the end of September are $85 for adults and $80 for kids. Starting at the beginning of October, prices go up to $105 and $100 respectively, with Friday nights being $115 and $110. Halloween night, October 31st, is the most in-demand and therefore the most expensive at $135 for adults and $130 for kids.

These prices reflect the $10 savings on pre-purchased tickets. Tickets purchased on the day of the party will cost more.

This pricing seems steep, but keep in mind that you do not need regular park admission to attend the party, and since you can get into Magic Kingdom as early as 4pm (2PM for Disney Vacation Club Members) and the party doesn’t start until 7 PM, you’ll get plenty of time in the park. Plus, the party limits crowd numbers, so you can see and do more in a shorter amount of time than you could typically do all day! Make your FastPass+ reservations between 4 and 7pm then enjoy the party starting at 7!

Activities

Dress up

One of the best parts of visiting Disney World during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is that guests of all ages can dress up in costume! Disney’s year-round “no costumed guests over age 14” does not apply during the party! Guests 13 and younger can dress up all year. During the Halloween Party, even adults can dress up, although there are some rules that are still applicable including no masks, no objectionable or offensive material, and no excessively torn clothing. You’ll still have to go through security, so Disney discourages any bulky clothing as well.

Souvenirs

It wouldn’t be Halloween without Trick or Treating! During Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, guests of all ages can Trick or Treat on Magic Kingdom’s Main Street USA! Collect candies, sweets, and treats. If you or someone in your family has a dietary restriction or allergy, you can request a non-food item or a healthy item at any Trick or Treat location.

Don’t forget to pick up some party souvenirs including ears, exclusive MagicBands, ornaments, mugs, clothing, accessories, and trading pins!

Party Offerings

Cadaver Dans

Head over to Frontierland anytime during the night, and you might see the Cadaver Dans (the Halloween version of the Dapper Dans). They crack jokes and sing songs – some Disney Classics and some other familiar songs.

Boo to You

The Boo to You parade is definitely a highlight of the party! The Headless Horseman starts the parade with a ride through Magic Kingdom. The parade starts in Town Square then heads down Main Street USA, around the Cinderella Castle Hub, through Liberty Square, and ends in Adventureland. Get your spot along the parade route early because it fills up quickly.

Fortunately, Boo to You runs twice nightly! That’s 40 minutes of Halloween parade fun!
