Disney World Confirms New Entry Restrictions for Magic Kingdom in September

Wait 5 sec.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 has lost another date to sellout status. September 8 is now showing as unavailable on Disney’s ticket calendar, making it the second September date to disappear this season, just days after September 4 sold out.September 8 was priced at $154 per person, the same price point as September 4. With two September dates now gone in quick succession, the calendar’s earlier assumption that September would hold steady longer than August has not held up.Credit: DisneyHow We Got Here: The Full Sellout ListMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 will begin on August 7 at Magic Kingdom. Since general public sales opened in May, the following event nights have sold out, in order:October 31 (Halloween night) — sold out shortly after general public sales opened, despite carrying the season’s highest adult price of $229August 11 — $119, one of the season’s lowest-priced nightsAugust 14 — $119August 18October 9October 13August 7 (Opening Night)September 4 — $154, the first September date to sell outSeptember 8 — $154, the second September date to sell outSeptember 4’s sellout on July 31 was notable because, as recently as July 30, every September date remained available. September 8, following so soon afterward, suggests the month is now moving through its inventory faster than August did at a comparable point.Credit: DisneyWhat’s Still AvailableAs of publication, the following dates remain open for purchase, according to Disney’s live ticket calendar:AugustAugust 21, 23 — $139August 25 — $144August 28, 30 — $149SeptemberSeptember 1 — $149September 11, 13 — $159September 15 — $164September 18, 20, 22 — $169September 24 — $174September 25, 27 — $179September 29 — $184OctoberOctober 1 — $189October 2, 4, 6 — $199October 8 — $204October 15 — $214October 16, 18, 22 — $219October 23, 25, 27, 29 — $224September 1, at $149, is now the cheapest remaining party night on the calendar and the most likely next date to sell out.Credit: DisneyA Pattern That Mirrors — and May Be Outpacing — 2025Last year’s sellout pattern offers a useful comparison. In 2025, once September dates began selling out, the pace picked up quickly: by August 26, every August night was gone, and September 2 had also sold out. This year’s calendar is tracking ahead of that timeline, with two September nights already gone before the end of August.Disney has not explained why September 4 and September 8 sold out before September 1, despite September 1 carrying a lower price. The company does not publish remaining ticket quantities for nights still available, so the sellout list shows which dates are gone from the booking calendar — not how many tickets were sold, how crowded a given night will feel, or whether Disney adjusted capacity for any specific date.Credit: DisneyWhat This Means for YouIf your Walt Disney World trip is built around a specific Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party date, don’t wait to lock it in. September 1 is the last sub-$150 night left on the calendar, and the two most recent sellouts show September moving faster than August did.Every date from September 11 onward comes with a higher price tag, so switching plans after a sellout will cost more, not just cause a scheduling headache. Check Disney’s live ticket calendar before treating any specific night as secure, especially if it’s tied to hotel reservations or other non-refundable travel plans.For those guests heading out to Magic Kingdom without a party ticket, Disney is making operational changes, such as earlier openings and cheaper Lightning Lane passes, to combat the 6 p.m. closure on these dates.What are your thoughts about how many Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates there are this year?
