Disney's Hidden Halloween Party Schedule: A Potential Trip-Altering Mistake
Visiting Walt Disney World in September can be an enjoyable experience due to the relatively low crowds and various special events. However, one of these events - Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom - can cause problems for day guests who are not aware of it.
The party takes place on select nights throughout the month, including September 1st, 4th, 8th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th, 25th, 27th, and 29th. On these evenings, guests without party tickets must leave the Magic Kingdom at 6 PM.
This means that day visitors who plan to stay late for dinner or entertainment may be disappointed if they don't check if there's a party scheduled on their visit date. The party itself offers exclusive experiences like character meet-and-greets in Halloween costumes, treat trails with candy, ride overlays, and special fireworks displays.
To avoid making a trip-defining mistake, day guests should check the Magic Kingdom's schedule to see if there's a Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party event on their planned visit date. If they can't change their plans, they can also check if that night's party is sold out.
