🎃 What is MNSSHP 2025?

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a specially ticketed, after-hours event at Magic Kingdom that transforms the park into a festive (but not too frightening) Halloween wonderland.

🔮 Planning Tips from Magic Wishes Vacations

  • Book early — dates tend to sell out quickly. As of now, September 30 is reportedly the only party date still available.

  • Make a plan — decide which entertainment or character sightings you don’t want to miss and prioritize them early in the night

  • Arrive early (4 PM) — use this extra time to ride popular attractions before the crowds shift to party-favorite spots

  • Dress to impress — guests are encouraged to wear costumes (kids and adults), so bring your best Disney-inspired look

  • Use treat maps — maps distributed at the party will guide you to candy stations, snack stops, and character spots

  • Keep an eye on the weather — Florida evenings can be unpredictable, so pack for a light rain or cool breeze

Let Magic Wishes Vacations help you make MNSSHP 2025 unforgettable. Whether you’re a returning fan or a first-time partygoer, we’re here to craft a hauntingly magical experience. Ready to reserve your spot? Let’s make those wishes come true.
