Despite rising costs, guests are still buying into the Walt Disney World Resort’s hard-ticketed events–but reading between the lines, do the recent sellouts say something else altogether?Credit: 0soulis0, FlickrFrom shows to sweet treats and character encounters you can’t find anywhere else, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is gearing up for another thrilling season at Walt Disney World, and fans are already making their fall plans.This year’s party kicks off on August 15 and runs through Halloween night, October 31. Held on select evenings at Magic Kingdom—typically Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays, with Thursdays added starting September 25—the celebration brings together classic Disney magic and festive seasonal fun. With dates already selling out, guests are encouraged to secure tickets sooner rather than later.Credit: DisneyIn fact, three nights are already completely booked: October 31, which traditionally sells out first, and August 19, which later joined the list. Now, guests have sent a clear message to the Mouse House by selling out another night, August 17. This makes August 17 the third official sellout of the 2025 season and marks another of the cheaper ($119) dates to be made unavailable. Last year, every party night sold out by September 24.Among the many highlights returning for 2025 is the Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, where beloved Disney characters take to the streets alongside dancing ghouls, grinning villains, and the Headless Horseman’s ever-memorable entrance.Over at Cinderella Castle, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular returns as the Sanderson Sisters conjure up some mischief in a show packed with high-energy performances and favorite Disney villains. And no Halloween evening would be complete without Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a fireworks display and projections hosted by Jack Skellington.Credit: Inside the MagicThis year, Jack and Sally are debuting brand-new looks, with costume updates designed to more closely reflect their appearances in Tim Burton’s 1993 hit The Nightmare Before Christmas. Guests are already excited over the reimagined detail, making this meet-and-greet a potential standout of the season.Disney PhotoPass photographers will be stationed throughout Magic Kingdom, offering guests the chance to pose with special Halloween props, capture Magic Shots, and enjoy effects you won’t find during normal park hours. If you’ve purchased Memory Maker or have PhotoPass linked to your account, it’s a great way to collect unique memories from your night.Credit: DisneyMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the only times adults can wear full costumes inside the parks. Guests of all ages come decked out in clever, creative ensembles—many inspired by Disney characters—and it’s all part of the festive fun. Just make sure to review Disney’s costume guidelines ahead of time to keep everything family-friendly and safe.Even Disney characters join in the dress-up fun. Throughout the evening, you’ll spot Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and others in their Halloween best, plus rare appearances from characters who don’t often visit the parks. A popular special meet and greet tends to be the seven dwarves from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).Credit: DisneyTicket prices for the 2025 season vary depending on the night you attend. Early August dates begin at $119 per person, while dates closer to Halloween can go up to $229, a vast increase on last year’s prices. October 31 was the most expensive night on the calendar, but it still sold out instantly. Annual Passholders can enjoy a $10 discount on select August and September nights, offering a nice bonus for early planners.It’s worth noting that admission to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is sold separately from regular park tickets. However, guests can enter Magic Kingdom at 4 p.m. with a party ticket, even though the official event doesn’t begin until 7 p.m. That early entry window is an excellent opportunity to fit in some favorite attractions before the Halloween festivities take over.Credit: DisneyWhether you’re drawn to the one-of-a-kind shows, the treasure trove of treats, the special characters, or simply the chance to enjoy Magic Kingdom in a whole new light, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party remains a highlight of the fall season at Walt Disney World.If your heart is set on experiencing the spooky magic this year, don’t wait too long.
