It’s Halfway to HALLOWEEN. So The Vacationeer is bringing you all the Walt Disney World details and 13 tips for making the most of celebrating Halloween at the parks.
1. SAVE MONEY, VISIT EARLIER - Halloween at Disney World technically starts as early as mid-August. Visiting early in the season can save you money. As family’s return to work and school, the crowds are lighter and the resort and ticket prices are cheaper.
2. PAY ATTENTION TO PARTY DAYS - When planning your Disney World trip during this fall, pay attention to when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party. During party days, Magic Kingdom will close early to general ticket holders. HOWEVER, generally crowds are MUCH lighter and is great time to visit many attractions without the longer wait times that this popular park is known for.
3. ARRIVE BEFORE THE PARTY - If you are attending the Halloween party, arrive EARLY. Although, the party official kicks off at 7pm, guests with a party ticket can enter the Magic Kingdom as early at 4pm. This is smart for grabbing a meal, grabbing a couple of rides, and being the first to hop in line for special meet and greets.
4. POPULAR DATES SALE OUT FAST - If you are hoping to visit the halloween party at either the VERY BEGINNING or ON October 31st, purchase your tickets early. These dates can sell out fast.
5. LATER SHOWS, BETTER VIEWS - Throughout the Halloween Party, stage shows and parade will preform at multiple times. Those with little kids will grab early show times in order to return to the resorts for bed time. For those with older kids or a gang of Disney adults, visit characters or your favorite attractions early in the evening then LATER, return to the hub in front of the castle to grab a prime spot for the stage show and parade.
6. FOOD AND FASHION - Part of what makes the holidays extra fun in the parks is the special food and merch that hang around for a limited time. Be on the look out for the unique treats that you will only be able to grab during the spooky season.
7. COSTUME WITH CAUTION - Dressing up for the halloween festivities are encouraged; however, August, September, and October are still incredibly warm months in Florida. When selecting costumes for your family, remember that staying cool and comfortable should be your priority. No one wants to over heat and pass out in the name of Halloween fashion.
8. PRIORITIZE YOUR PARTY - Although party crowds are generally lighter that regular day crowds, you won’t be able to do EVERYTHING in the park. Ahead of attending, talk with your family and figure out the things that are most important to you. Do you want to visit with exclusive characters only out at the party? Do you want to visit every trick-or-treat spot? Do you want to catch the stage show and parade in front of the castle? Or do you really just want to ride all the attractions?
9. HALLOWEEN OVERLAYS - If you are planning to ride some classic Magic Kingdom attractions, make it the ones with the Halloween overlays like Mad Hatter Tea Party, Space Mountain, and of course Haunted Mansion.
10. VIRTUAL QUEUE MUST DO - Similar to After Hours events, TRON will have a separate virtual queue that you can reserve specifically for the party. You can typically grab this reservation in the late afternoon/early evening. Be sure to check your My Disney Experience app for specific instructions on the day of your party.
11. ALLERGY FRIENDLY TRICK OR TREATING - Disney does a great job at accommodating food allergies when it comes to trick-or-treat candy. While most guests will be filling their bags with traditional candy, Cast Members will be handing out special tokens at each trick-or-treat spot. At the end of the evening, be sure to bring your tokens to guests services located at Town Hall to collect your allergy friendly candy.
12. GRAB A PARTY MAP - This may be a hot take! While the Walt Disney World app will have all the special details for the party in the digital map, having the handy dandy paper map at your side makes navigating the party specifics 10 times easier. It’s much easier to find trick-or-treat locations, special characters, and exclusive party food while walking around the park.
13. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PARTY - Although, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party continues to get rave reviews and record attendance each year, you don’t have to attend this separately ticketed event to enjoy the Halloween vibes in the parks. Decor goes up in early August and themed treats arrive soon after. Even your resorts will get in to the spooky season with limited edition snacks and movies on the lawn during evening hours. Don’t feel like you are TOTALLY missing out if you aren’t up for spending the extra money on this trip.
