Disney Halloween

Hi we have tickets for tomorrow just for mickeys Halloween party, we done this 2 yrs ago and whilst the official Halloween party started at 7pm we could enter around 4pm… I can’t see anything confirming we can do that this year does anyone know? BTW we only have Halloween tickets and not normal day tickets thanks in advance

For Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World in Orlando, the official event hours typically start in the evening, around 7:00 PM, and run until 12:00 AM. However, in previous years, Disney allowed ticket holders to enter the park a few hours early, usually around 4:00 PM, even if they only had Halloween Party tickets. This early entry is often referred to as “party early entry” and allows guests to enjoy some of the park before the event officially begins.

For the current year, Disney has not always confirmed this early entry on the official website, but it has been a standard practice for several seasons. Most guests with only Halloween Party tickets can enter the park early to begin trick-or-treating, enjoy shorter lines, and get a head start on popular attractions.

  • Arrive around 4:00 PM to maximize your time in the park before the official party hours.
  • Bring your Halloween Party wristband and party ticket; cast members typically check these at the entrance for early entry.
  • Focus on attractions that are open during the party hours and plan to experience the special entertainment, parades, and trick-or-treating that start in the evening.

Keep in mind that early entry hours may vary slightly depending on the night and park operations, so it’s a good idea to check with Guest Services upon arrival. If early entry is allowed, it can give you a nice head start without needing regular day tickets.

  • Use the early hours to visit popular rides with shorter wait times.
  • Take photos and explore the decorated areas of the park before it becomes more crowded.
  • Pick up event-exclusive merchandise and Halloween treats without long lines.

In summary, although the official Halloween Party starts at 7:00 PM, most years guests with only party tickets have been allowed to enter around 4:00 PM. Confirm with Guest Services when you arrive to ensure early entry is available for your specific ticket, and enjoy the party-focused attractions, entertainment, and seasonal decorations.
