Where Can You Purchase These Specially Priced Tickets?
Direct From Walt Disney World
Direct From Walt Disney World
- These special tickets must be purchased in person (with proper military ID) from Walt Disney World ticket or Guest Relations locations! They can not be pre-purchased over the phone or internet.
- You may also purchase these special tickets in person at Shades of Green's Ticket Office.
- There is no tax if purchased through SoG (Reported).
- New This Year (2016) - SoG will ship tickets for a fee ($10). Call 407-824-1403 for details.
Where can I buy the tickets? When should I buy tickets?- Tickets can be ordered by calling 407-W-DISNEY or purchase online, https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets/events/. Once you purchase tickets, they will be linked to your My Disney Experience account.
- Definitely in advance of the party, more parties sold out in advance last year than ever before. Of the 26 parties in 2014, 11 sold out in advance (guest list thread on the Disboards). The first party to sell out was Halloween night (October 31) and that party sold out on August 21.
What time does MNSSHP start? What time can I enter the park? - MNSSHP officially starts at 7pm. Guests may enter Magic Kingdom using their party tickets starting at 4pm. This practice is not officially advertised by Disney, but it has been exercised for many years and Cast Members will readily confirm this information. None of the party-specific M&Gs or trick-or-treating will begin until 7pm.
Do I need a wristband? What if I want to stay without one?- Yes, a wristband is included in the cost of admission. All ticket holders for this event will be required to wear a wrist band. You may pick-up your wristband and map of the party at designated locations in the MK.
- Once the party begins at 7pm, Cast Members begin looking for those who do not have wristbands to exit the park.
- MNSSHP Ticket Holders have purchased tickets with "their money" for the party; if you do not have a ticket/wristband make your way to exit the gates by 7pm.
- As discussed on another thread, there are different color wristbands, so NO Double Dipping to attend another party.
- Oh, my! I'm already in the park. Do I have to exit and re-enter for MNSSHP? No, there are checkpoints within the park to check-in and receive wristbands for MNSSHP!

Fantasy Faire (Fantasyland)

Are FP+ Reservations available during the party?- No, there are no FP+ reservations in the park after the 7 p.m. start of the party. You can, however, make FP+ reservations using your party ticket for the 4-6:30pm time period (FP+ Selections should be booked between 3:30-6:30pm), before the party officially begins. The good news is that most attraction lines will be short enough during the party that you won’t miss FP+ reservations much.

Do you have a map of the party?- Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map gives you an idea of special foods available, as well as show times for the major entertainment.
What "tricks-or-treats" are offered?- More than 40 different kinds of brand-name candies, including Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfingers, M&Ms and Kit Kats, are included in three trick-or-treat candy mixes offered during the parties.
- Four treat stops are sponsored at this year’s party, adding Werther’s Caramels, chocolate and yogurt-covered Craisins, Halloween Peeps and Dove chocolates.
Guests are given Trick-or-Treat Bags upon entry into the park, but the bags tend to be small. However, you can bring your own bag or purchase a souvenir bag in the park. Trick-or-Treat Bags can be used at the candy stations found throughout the Magic Kingdom. Locations are indicated on the map. There is no limit to how many times you can go back to the same location for more.
Food Allergy Info:
Guests with food allergies can get a special teal bag that will designate them as having an allergy (teal is the color that represents food allergy awareness). These bags can be picked up at Market Street, City Hall, Heritage House, Town Square Theater, or any of the trick or treat locations. At the trick or treat stations, these guests will get a teal token, which can be redeemed for allergy-friendly treats and non-food items at Heritage House and Town Square Theater. These are also the places to stop with any questions about the process.

City Hall will not be passing out allergy-friendly candy this year as they have done in the past.

FYI: Most M&G lines reported as being longer this year; Jack Skellington and Sally reported as meeting at 5pm (line up at 4pm).
Can I purchase Memory Maker for MNSSHP ONLY?- Yes, Disney PhotoPass now offers Memory Maker (MM) One Day (Disney PhotoPass Website Updated on 3/25/16).
The Memory Maker Window begins at 6am EST on the day you use the 1D theme park admission with which MM is bundled at purchase or if MM was purchased separately, the date the photo selected on the MDE app, or of applicable, on MyDisneyPhotoPass.com when purchasing MM or when linking a previously purchased MM code to your Disney account and ends at 5:59am EST on the following day. (i.e. The 1D Memory Maker can be purchased in the app, after you have a photo loaded into your account, click on the photo, and you will get the option to purchase either the 30-day MM for $169, or the 1-day MM for $59).
PhotoPass photographers will take Magic Shots during the party where you will pose and when you see the photos afterward, you'll see something magically inserted into the photo.

What time is Happy HalloWishes (Fireworks)?- HalloWishes is at 10:15pm on party nights.
What are the times for Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade?- Boo-to-You runs at 8:30pm and 11:15pm in September & 8:15pm and 11:15pm in October.

Times: 8:35pm & 11:20pm (September) and 8:20pm & 11:20pm (October) - It has been discussed that the second parade is less crowded than the first. There are advantages and disadvantages to both depending on your party size/age and party plans.
- FYI: The parade route begins in Frontierland, follows the waterway until it reaches Liberty Square, crosses the Liberty Square bridge, circles Central Plaza in front of Cinderella's Castle, then heads down Main Street, U.S.A., where it ends next to Harmony Barbershop.
Are there any Dining Options?- Dining is available at select counter service and snack locations throughout the park, but is very limited once the party begins. It’s probably wise to eat your main evening meal prior to attending the party.

Should I attend?- Is MNSSHP worth it? IMO it is most definitely worth the price at least once. I thoroughly enjoyed MVMCP, so I expect to enjoy MNSSHP. It’s definitely worth it if your budget allows.
- There’s plenty of special entertainment, special decorations and lighting, and lots of unique character meet and greets.
- If you decide to attend MNSSHP, make sure to purchase your tickets in advance, and use any available discounts (i.e. DVC, AP, etc,).
- Tickets are more expensive on the day of the party, and several nights each year sell out completely.
Party Crowds- MNSSHP is a special ticket event with a limited amount of tickets sold. It has been discussed that more tickets are being sold as of late. However, due to Party Entertainment, crowds tend to be more concentrated around the events, especially the parade and fireworks. Also, parties are typically busier the closer to Halloween and on Halloween night. If you can attend one in early to mid-September you will find it less crowded than one in late October. Day of the week tends to matter as well, with Monday through Thursday evenings being less busy than the weekend events.
TransportationThe Walt Disney World Transportation, including the boat launches, bus and monorail stations, all continue to run during and after Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Weather- Please note that the party will go on regardless of weather, so even if it's pouring down raining, it will take place.
- Due to Florida weather, ensure that your costume/party attire is cool enough to wear in the heat and humidity and something that can easily be covered in a poncho.
- Average high temperature: 84°F
- Average low temperature: 66°F
- Mean temperature: 75°F
- Record high temperature: 95°F (1958)
- Record low temperature: 38°F (2008)
- Average Precipitation: 2.52 in.

Costume Guidelines for 2016 MNSSHPDisney has revised their costuming guidelines for special events in the theme parks. While costumed attire may be worn, guests ages 14 and older are strongly discouraged from wearing layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body as they may be subject to additional security screening. Additionally, costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
