Disney has announced an all-new Mickey’s Not So Scary Party Pass that will allow guests to enjoy up to 35 nights of the party in 2019.
Beginning today, August 16, you can purchase the new Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Pass to enjoy up to 35 nights in 2019. (This pass is not valid for admission on Oct. 31, 2019). With this new pass you can attend most event nights for just $299 plus tax. There is so much to see and do at this festive celebration and this pass is the perfect way to enjoy trick-or-treat throughout the Magic Kingdom, exclusive entertainment including a brand-new fireworks spectacular and attraction offerings and partake in the endless amount of ghoulishly good times!
The Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Pass is only available, in limited quantities, for purchase at Walt Disney World theme park ticket windows.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is special ticketed event runs 36 days on select nights from now until Nov. 1. This year, we are debuting a brand-new fireworks show, “Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular.” In the show, Jack Skellington from “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” serves as host and has come to tell a “not-so-scary” story about how anything can happen on Halloween night. The show will also include state-of-the-art projections and lasers, plus lighting and dazzling fireworks that will fill the sky above Magic Kingdom Park.
The party also includes a new interactive treat trail at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and attractions updated with new Halloween twists as well as spooky additions to “Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade!” These enhancements include new Halloween costumes for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, a new Haunted Mansion unit featuring the spectral Bride, who glides among the waltzing spirits all representing Liberty Square. A new Tomorrowland unit brings The Incredibles and designer extraordinaire Edna Mode to “Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade,” followed by Buzz Lightyear and some Alien explorers, as they discover crystalline treasures on the surface of a planetary playset float.
This pass will likely appeal to locals who can attend a number of parties from August 16-November 1. With single party tickets ranging from $79-$115, the pass will very quickly pay for itself. For guests who are not annual passholders, this is a fantastic way to visit Magic Kingdom for up to eight hours per visit (4:00 pm-12:00 am) up to 35 times for only $299. Now that’s a good deal–if you can visit often.
Even if you are not a Florida local who can visit frequently, if you’ll be visiting Walt Disney World in October and want to enjoy the Halloween party on multiple nights, you may want to consider the pass. Beginning the week of September 29, the Halloween party runs on 4 nights each week. The pass is especially valuable in October. If you were to attend the three-weekday parties (at $105) and the Friday night party ($115), you are essentially getting the Friday night party for free. If your vacation runs from a Friday to the following weekend, you could attend five parties (Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday again) and get two parties for free! Think of all that time in Magic Kingdom with amazing entertainment, attractions, and fun. If this party pass can fit into your budget, then we think it’s a great deal!
