The ULTIMATE Guide To Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in Disney World

[@valerieoconnell962]

Might be a silly way to justify the cost (see girl math), but if you're local and get a huge bag to load up on candy, you can use that to pass out at Halloween. They pass out the good stuff and you can get like $50 worth of candy!

[@pacman072286]

I went last year 2 days before Halloween and I thought it was pretty fun and cool. The fireworks display, being able to get on rides while everyone is gone and also candy by the barrel was well worth it! I wanted to go again but I'm already going to Oogie Boogie Bash on Halloween night.

[@1JeffJames]

My wife, myself and our 5 year old really liked this Not So Scary party, we had a blast! We even made it into your video! Lol 😂 i was like whoa there we are! Lol

[@amrobear]

I can't tell you how helpful your WDW videos have been for me planning my first trip there. I'm taking my daughter for her 9th birthday and listen to your guides every day for the last 4 months or longer. Thank you for making this process easy and exciting for me. I've got a very picky eater and I've been able to find places she'll eat with your reviews. X-7 days and I can't wait!!! Thank you DFB Guide peeps!!! 🤍❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤

[@malinforreal4050]

Hope you and your daughter had an amazing trip! I just had to comment since I found it so incredibly beautiful that you put so much effort into planning this for your daughter. Very inspirational! And I do not have kids, nor have I ever been to Disney World haha - just love to see examples of great parenting 🩵

[@amrobear]

@@malinforreal4050 that brought me to tears. Sometimes you don't always know how you're doing as a parent, but I try my best to set positive examples for her. Thank you for your warm and thoughtful words. We had an amazing adventure starting with 4 of the Disney World parks over 3 days followed by a 4 day Disney cruise to the Bahamas. 🚢 PS I love to travel and plan travel, so much so I do it professionally now. Have a lovely day as you have made mine. 🥰

[@iAztrend]

I want to go to Disney world so bad for these holiday times. I feel like Halloween or Christmas would be awesome there

[@sweethartjen]

I looovvve Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! This will be my third time going! 🧡🖤🎃🎃🖤🧡 Thank you, AJ and team, for the video so my friends and I can plan out our night!

[@vicky9407]

going to disneyworld for the first time in september, would love a video on merch! what to buy, avoid, must buy etc.

[@HopeProductions09]

Definitely a one and done kind of party. I’ve been to it more than once now and feel like unless you really care about getting a ton of candy..you don’t get much for your money. I get it special shows and fireworks and characters. Just has never seemed enough for me. And I feel like they sell way more tickets than they should. Back when they first started these I feel they limited way more and it was a great experience. My advice: if you are spending money on any after hours or seasonal event..make it Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! At least that you get cookies and hot chocolate and a beautiful atmosphere. Plus it’s a way cooler fun evening!

[@johnhinton6034]

Great information. The background music is a little distracting. Glad to see the wonderful choices to enjoy!

[@netholor]

Can’t wait for your new vid this year. We are going for the first time and I’m watching this one while we wait for this years parties to start 😁

[@XxOddstitiousxX]

Same!

[@amydoran9987]

I remember taking both of my kids years ago to the not so scary party. The prices were significantly lower back then.The party has added in a stage show that did not happen back then.

[@parkerwalker5128]

Thank you DFB for this awesome and informative video! Your experience on ‘all things Disney’ is definitely acknowledged and is much appreciated! 😍

[@jimbo0715]

There are NO discounts for the month of October so for those on fall break - get ready to pay - I paid around $400 for our tickets last year for the 3rd week in September - this year they were $752 the first week of October.

[@selenalemiec2549]

I've been to the party a few times, and I'm going back this year. It's my FAVORITE time to go to Disney!

So psyched for this next year!!!

[@RihannaFanatic]

I loooove MNSSHP ❤️ This is going to be my 10th time going on my trip next month and I’m just as excited as the first time I went all those years ago 👏 I enjoy dressing up, the ambiance, the trick-or treating, the spectaculars, EVERYTHING! It’s definitely a must do if you’re down in Disney around Halloween time!

[@atlsongbyrd6084]

🙌 My daughter’s birthday is on Halloween and when we went there we got on all the rides when the people were at the parade & other celebrations.

[@sokiecribbs5881]

Wow, using scoops to distribute candy at the treat trails- that’s genius! Here at DCA for Oogie Boogie Bash, they literally give you 1 piece of candy- maybe 2 if you’re lucky. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@CorVids1031]

So excited! I love Halloween and my birthday is a week before. I've dreamed of going to this party since I was a kid. Finally going this year.

[@chrisbaker1091]

[@vhs.skyler]

Me and my boyfriend planning to go for the first time this year! I am actually most excited for the vibes and rides at night, as we don't do great in the sun LOL plus we LOVE Halloween so we just want to experience it.

I'll be there October 17. I'm excited to experience it for myself!

[@melissadeuanephenh5238]

We went for the first time last September and we had a great time. However, the party exclusive merch was sold out within an hour and a half, the best treats were also sold out before it was even dark out and Pirates of the Caribbean was closed. There were also not nearly as many characters out as they claimed would be. We are going again this year and it looks like it’s going to be better so I hope it is.

[@parkerwalker5128]

I went last September too, but the hurricane almost completely squashed my chance to go to the party at all. I was just happy to able to go. 😂 I hope you have fun at the party this year!

[@Tif91522]

[@Mr619usc]

I've been on the fence with purchasing tixs for four, but after watching your video...I don't think it would justify the cost of adding an extra resort day, plus additional tickets. thanks for sharing

[@michaeltwardy7167]

Great videos DFB guide and I’ve been loving your videos for a couple of years now at this point, can you possibly do a video on the app in general, tips, and how to access everything and the breakdown??

Booked for 2024! Can't wait for next years tickets to go on sale.

[@emilyfrumker9527]

I’m going for the first time in sept and I have an early dinner reservation at 415 at skipper canteen and for the allergy tokens you can get them at each spot ? I’m lactose intolerance and can have most candy with a pill but won’t be doing a lot of that. I’m hoping to meet stitch and Winnie the Pooh crew. This was well done.

[@loracaro4427]

I know that they have two areas where you can turn in your allergy tokens to get items. Please be mindful that while you have a dinner reservation you can end up spending a lot of time at the reservation versus being in the park and getting in line for certain meet and greets.

[@jadahopkins5730]

I’m going this year. I’m so so excited😭

[@lorikorn1147]

Video says loaded sweet potato fries at the golden oak outpost is available only during the party - blog post says it’s available during regular park hours. Any clarification? Sincerely, a sweet potato enthusiast 😋

[@ricardorivera8565]

If I will be in the park since open, can I get in line for any character meets before the official 4pm start time?

[@mattstorace9985]

How’s the view from the Terrace Restaurant? Paying extra to not have to fight for a seat on the ground sounds nice

[@loracaro4427]

You can watch other bloggers that have done the parties. They are good views I just think that it is necessary to pay for a dessert party during a holiday party. There's plenty of spaces to see the fireworks the second show is normally much more quiet

[@mattstorace9985]

@@loracaro4427 thanks! I’m thinking the same thing. I watched some of the videos from regular dessert parties and the views weren’t even that good. Between that and the smaller crowd I think I will skip it. Thanks!

[@cieradattolo]

Are you able to order normal menu options at the quick service restaurants during the party? Or the MNSSHP exclusives only?

[@loracaro4427]

Yes you can order regular food but not all of the locations will be open especially the later on it get.its like going to an after party event.

[@iangrimm]

Thank you for all the tips and TIMES. Going in just two weeks. I can't wait. That was so helpful. I just hope to see the fireworks, parade, and ride SDMT a few times. If I can do any meet and greets that is the cherry on top but those lines seemed LONG.

[@sharonmorgan8686]

We went last year. There weren’t anything close to the amount of Halloween treats they have this year. We went in September and it was still filled to capacity so just so many people! It was difficult to find a spot for the fireworks to see the castle show. We enjoyed the parade and stage show but after the stage show they didn’t put any lights back on so it was pitch black when everyone was leaving their spots for the show and i tripped on someone’s empty stroller! We loved the real pirates in the Pirates ride. Seems so much more fun this year though with all the extra special food items and characters which we didn’t see too much last year since lines were very long.

Are these events worth it for short ride times? I am mostly interested for the rides , don’t really plan on watching the parades and shows but trying to get on rides with shorter queues.

[@SteveD0076]

Do these snacks work with the dining plans?

[@lauren23160]

Was not worth the money for our family. Disney once again selling too many tickets. Couldn’t get into Haunted Mansion due to the longest wait times (not possible with young kids and no LL available) after waiting all week from it being closed down, so disappointed. Also didn’t see anyone else with nearly that amount of candy. Spent half an hour in line just to get coffee. Space Mountain kept having issues and was down half the night. Honestly the crowds weren’t very different from a normal Disney day. :(

[@MrMaxRebos]

Are the sit down restaurants in the MK open during the Halloween event after 6pm?

[@kimberlyd2982]

As long as I live I will never understand the Disney exclusive popcorn bucket craze.

[@melissasmith4684]

So even if the party does sell out there's still plenty of room and you can get things done. On a Sunday it's a great day to go you do eliminate a lot of people even if it is sold out.

[@dancergirl182]

We’re not into Halloween and my kids are scared of spooky/Halloween stuff (like ghosts, etc.) and we are NOT into Hocus Pocus. So we’d probably skip out on all the entertainment unless the fireworks aren’t specifically Halloween themed. Would we be okay doing the Halloween party or should we definitely skip it? Our only reason for thinking of going is for the rides, rare characters like 7 dwarfs and Gaston, and extending our already short MK day while we’re there. Unfortunately, there’s not another day we could do MK without the party that evening. So we’d miss out on several park hours unless we do the party too.
