As autumn approaches, excitement builds for one of the most beloved seasonal events at Walt Disney World Resort: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This party will take place between August 9 and October 31, 2024. Ticket holders will be admitted to Magic Kingdom park as early as 4:00 pm on the valid date of their ticket.
This year, ticket prices range from $119 to $199, depending on the event date. While it’s no surprise to learn that Disney prices have risen dramatically as inflation has gone up, the magnitude of Disney’s price increases still comes as a shock to many. According to the latest report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the cost of a ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has soared by a staggering 158% over the past ten years, compared to an average price of just $66 to $82 for visitors 10 years ago.
Despite the increased costs, Disney fans and families are eager to partake in the Halloween festivities. Following the complete sell-out of August and September, only several dates remain available in October. This year’s event boasts more villain sightings than ever before, allowing visitors to meet some of their favorite characters in a festive atmosphere. Here’s what people can expect at this fun event.
