6 1/2 Reasons to Love Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party

Walt Disney World has really embraced the idea of the hard ticket event as of late.  One of the first forays into this type of special event was Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

This event is a fun Halloween party for the whole family that embraces the lighter side of the holiday.  You will find special parades, fireworks, candy, snacks, and merchandise all meant to embrace the whimsical side of Halloween.  As a first tip, don’t skip the Haunted Mansion on this visit – it is definitely even a little more spooky than normal during this event.

This year the event runs on select dates from August 25 – November 1 and the times for each night are 7 pm – midnight.
