No tricks here, because we’re doling out five new treats —plus returning favorites — for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2024!

No seriously its midnight right now and i check in at all stars today does this qualify?? Im confusedddd
What time can you start purchasing on May 15th? Is it exactly at 12am EST?
I already have a reservation at Port Orleans Riverside. Does that qualify to purchase MNSSHP tickets on 5/8? If so, how is that done? Calling and/ or via the app? Also, what time can I purchase tickets on 5/8?
What time will the tickets be available for sale for park guests? Is there a special link we use or just login with the account we made the reservations with?
Select is the Disney owned and operated, Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green
I am betting with all of my heart that King Magnifico will debut as a character during this event (and all the other Disney Parks Halloween events)
Which hotel guests will be able to purchase early? I’m at a value resort, All-Star Movies.
Will their be mickey spooky popcorn bucket. And will only one family get 1 buck hit cause. I want to be able to get a bucket this time because I’m not paying triple price on EBAY.
What time can you start purchasing on May 8th? Is it exactly at 12am EST?
I am delighted to finally have the party dates so that we can make plans! However, please give us LESS spicy menu items for the Halloween party. In recent years the food options, both sweet and savory, are predominately spicy. I’m not sure why lately Disney food and beverage has decided that Halloween somehow equals spicy. It does not. Here’s the thing, most kids and many adults simply will not eat spicy foods. That makes it very difficult when the food and beverage options are already so limited during a party event to begin with. In addition, we would like to see at least one Haunted Mansion themed party exclusive treat. Last year there were none whatsoever. As Magic Kingdom is the only place in the US where one can have the classic Haunted Mansion attraction experience during the spooky season, we should celebrate that. 👻👻👻
What is the exact definition of “select Disney World Resort Hotels” ????? What is the big secret????
Does Port Orleans French Qaurter qualify as a select resort?????
Any word on if Tron will be virtual queue or standby during the party this year?
