Disney Darling has already posted about  Mickey's Not So Scary  at Magic Kingdom, but there are plenty of other activities to partake in during Halloween! Club Villain New at Hollywood Studios is Club Villain! Here you can dance and dine with your favorite villains such as Dr. Facilier and Maleficient.

Quick Tips for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Plans: If you want to, you can stay in Magic Kingdom all day long. You will need a regular Magic Kingdom park entrance ticket.
