DISNEY WORLD’S SPECIAL HALLOWEEN PARTY
While Halloween itself is October 31st of course, Walt Disney World provides a special Halloween celebration at the Magic Kingdom many evenings in September, October, and likely even November in 2015.
This celebration is called “Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party,” or “MNSSHP” for short.
At the party, many of the Magic Kingdom’s rides are open, and trick or treating, special events, and different parades and fireworks are offered.
The official Disney World page and prcies for this event can be found here.

MORE ON MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY IN 2015
This party occurs from 7p-12MN on certain evenings at the Magic Kingdom in September, October, and some years (including in 2015) even early November.
2015 Halloween Party dates are:
- September 2015: 15, 18, 20, 22, 25 and 27
- October 2015: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31
- November 2015: 1
You need to buy a special ticket for this party. This ticket is different from regular Walt Disney World park admission tickets.
- The special party ticket does not allow you to enjoy the rides and attractions of the Magic Kingdom before the Party starts–you need a regular ticket for that (but typically you can get in as early as 4p, even though the ticket will say 7p.)
- Regular tickets used to enter the park earlier the day of a Party do not give you access to the Party–you need to have the special Party ticket
The party tickets are expensive, so why would first-time visitors be interested? A couple of potential reasons
- Evening parades and fireworks are rarer this time of year, so going to one of the parties is a way to guarantee you can see them–though the Halloween parade and fireworks are different (and better!!) than what you’ll see on regular nights
- Operating hours at the Magic Kingdom are shorter this time of year, so the Party allows you more time there within the same visit
- Walt Disney World sells only a limited number of tickets to each party, so the evening waits can be much less long than other nights these months
Many families go the first time for one of these reasons…and then going becomes a tradition!
On the other hand, families following one of the standard 8-night itineraries on this site will see the fireworks and evening parade, and have plenty of time at the Magic Kingdom.
For that reason, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is not designed into this site’s itineraries.

Jane, I’d expect it to sell out a day or two before–see this. You can enter the park at 4p with your party ticket (even though the party does not start til 7.) If you want to be in earlier, and/or to use FastPass+ (not available on the party tix for before or after 7) then you need to use a regular ticket day.
Hi Dave, my friends are going on Columbus Day weekend and are uncertain whether they want to attend the party. Does that time (the Friday before) typically sell out? If so, when? Also, will they need to use up a regular ticket that day to be in a park before the party starts? Thanks!
Mama, I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can, because your tickets should be linked to you…
So, I bought my Halloween 2015 tickets through the Visa rewards pre-order and now my work decided to change the schedule where I can’t go… Can I give my tickets away (because quitting is unfortunately out of the question) or am I basically SOL? I understand they’re non refundable but I’m hoping I can at least give them to someone who can enjoy… Thanks 🙁
