It’s that time of year again when all of our eyes focus on the longest seasonal event of the year, Disney’s three-month celebration of Halloween! Admittedly, even though I have a long-standing belief that this celebration is entirely too long, I can’t help but get a little flutter in my stomach every time I see new details come out about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I love Halloween, and I won’t deny that Disney definitely does the best job of it with the perfect blend of spooky and, well, not-so-scary.
I’m keenly paying attention this year in the preliminary stages of my 2025 return to this after-hours event, closely watching dates, pricing, and trends ahead of my upcoming booking process. While I’ve been stalking the dates, I thought I might share the current availabilities with you, along with date pricing and the first date to sell out from the event.
Dates & Prices
Not surprisingly, the first date for the seasonal event to sell out was Halloween itself, October 31st. However, at this stage, availability for all other party dates appears to be open (Aug. 13 has sold out for select guests). If you are working out when you might be able to enjoy all of the spooky season festivities, here are the dates and ticket prices that increase in cost the closer you get to Halloween.
Even though the dates become more frequent as we edge closer to Halloween, the escalating cost can make budgeting a little more difficult. For a family of four (two adults and two children), the difference between early-season dates ($485.66 + tax) and late-season dates ($826.46 + tax) can almost double. The price changes throughout the event calendar make several of the August dates quite a decent value for guests visiting during this time or those living closer to the magic who want to enjoy the experience without spending excessively.
Budgeting For Your Party
Of course, the entry ticket will only be a portion of your overall costs. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a prime time to enjoy special, limited-time snacks and beverages perfectly themed to the season. As we all know, food and drink prices in the parks can add up quickly, especially amongst larger families, and the temptation of unique and exclusive treats makes this an even more expensive venture.
Make sure you allow for an incidental budget for the evening, as I’ve never known any of my friends to walk out of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party empty-handed, not including all the candy, of course. All of that deliciousness is included with your ticket, and most guests leave with a generous helping of candy.
I’m going to keep taking notes for my 2025 trip, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated on any major developments along the way. If you have any planning or budgeting tips for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, leave them in the comments below to share with the DIS community.
