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. A few hours before the party starts, wristband stations will open up inside the park. Find one by consulting either a map. A Cast Member will scan your party ticket and give you a wristband. This wristband will prevent you from getting kicked out at 7pm!

 It is okay to leave the park, change into your costume at the hotel and then come back to the park in time for the party.

 You can even visit other parks on the day you will attend your party.

 You do not have to show up right at 7pm. Lines to get into MK will shorten around 8-9pm. 

Costume Tips:
Make sure your costume is comfortable enough to walk around in for hours.

Make sure to follow the costume guidelines or you will be asked to leave the party.

Make sure your costume is weather appropriate. It will not be much fun if you are either sweating or freezing.
With everyone in costumes, it may be tricky to recognize your family if you get separated. Make a game plan in case this were to happen, especially if you have little ones. 

The more creative and unique your costume is, the more attention you will get from characters, parade performers and other Cast Members. 

 Boo To You Parade:
The second Boo To You parade is less crowded than the first.

The parade starts in Frontierland and ends on Main Street, like the FOF parade. 

 Watch for the grave diggers. Definitely the coolest part!

 What To Eat:
You can make dining reservations during the party! Be Our Guest, Cinderella Royal Table and the Crystal Palace will be open. 

 Try the special party treats! Outside of Storybook Circus you can try candy corn flavored ice cream. Gaston's Tavern will have a special Halloween cupcake. 

 What To Do:
Most rides will be open during the parade. However, you can ride these anytime. I recommend skipping the rides in favor of doing party exclusive activities. 

If you do want to hit the rides, do so during one of the castle shows or one of the parades. There will be less of a wait!

If you are a character hunter, take advantage of the party! There will be meet and greets for rare characters, such as Cruella de Ville, Jafar and the Genie. And common characters, such as Pooh and Mickey, will be dressed up in Halloween costumes!

The Hallowishes firework show is not to be missed! It is, in my opinion, the best firework show at the Magic Kingdom. Check your party map for the time it will begin. And don't worry about getting a good seat - they're all fantastic! The Hallowishes fireworks are so big that you will be able to see them anywhere you are standing. 

 Party Merch:
If there are any left over, Halloween merchandise *might* be marked down starting November 1st. You can choose to wait until then to purchase a T shirt. 

Exclusive party merchandise is only sold in specific locations. These will be marked on the map. Be sure to pay attention to this so you do not waste your time wandering into the wrong stores!

 Trick-or-treating:
You do NOT need to bring a bag for trick or treating. Cast Members will supply you with one, and they're a fun keepsake for following Halloweens!

 Each station is marked by a pumpkin on the map. There are also pumpkin signs throughout the park to make them more easy to find.

 For less of a wait, go to the stations that are in the back of the park.

 If a certain station has your favorite candy, you can go back in line for seconds...or thirds...or tenths!

Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country.

Walt Disney World Without Genie+

Recently, Disney introduced its new Genie+ system. Basically, Genie+ is the replacement for FastPass, except you have to pay to use it now. The FastPass system has been a staple in many Disney trips for 20 years. I myself was a huge advocate. But doing Disney without Genie+ or Lighting Lane is totally possible. Many people have reported on forums that Genie+ is definitely a bonus and not at all a requirement. Here are some tips for a Walt Disney World vacation WITHOUT Genie+: Check Wait Times Walt Disney World's app is a must for every trip. On the app, you can check wait times for every attraction across the resort. You many want to download the app a few weeks before your trip and take note of the wait times throughout the days leading up to your visit to get an idea of when the parks are the most crowded.  Some rides like The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will have a permanent hour-long wait no matter what.  Some rides like Splash Mountain (Tiana's Version) hit th...

Walt Disney World 2024: Disney's' Hollywood Studios

  Disney's Hollywood Studios, one of the four major theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, has been an iconic destination for entertainment enthusiasts since its opening in 1989. As we look ahead to 2024, the park continues to evolve and captivate visitors with its unique blend of movie magic, immersive experiences, and beloved characters. 2024 will see some updated attractions and special event dates at Disney's Hollywood Studios.  New Little Mermaid Show The Voyage of The Little Mermaid is one of Hollywood Studio’s longest running stage shows. Like the rest of the parks, it closed in 2020. However, guests noticed its absence once everything else opened. With the show being closed for so long, rumors started to spread. Last year, Disney Darling even predicted an overhaul of Animation Courtyard. It seems that won’t be happening for a few more years (if ever).  Recently, Disney announced the return of a Little Mermaid show. This one w...
