When Do Tickets for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 Go On Sale?

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but we’re already starting to dust off our Halloween costumes! It might only be April, but we’re already on high alert for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

2025 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party map

The extra ticketed after-hours party in Magic Kingdom is returning in 2026, so it’s time to start planning. As we eagerly await more details, we’re doing some detective work. When will tickets go on sale for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? We think we have a good guess.

If you don’t know already, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is one of the most popular events in Disney World. It often sells out, especially on popular dates like opening night and Halloween. That’s why we’re so serious about our planning, because we want to make sure that we (and you!!) get the tickets we want.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

Traditionally, Not-So-Scary begins in August, so that means we’re probably VERY close to tickets being on sale. Over the past few years, we’ve tracked when tickets went on sale. Here’s a look at the previous years:

In 2025, Disney resort guests were able to purchase tickets on May 15, and the general public was able to purchase tickets on May 22.
In 2024, Disney Resort hotel guests got first dibs starting May 8, and the general public got their shot on May 15.
In 2023, ticket sales opened on April 27 for guests with a resort reservation and on May 2 for everyone else.
In 2022, those dates were a little later — May 12 and May 18, respectively.

Not So Scary Snacks!

That means (if history is an indicator) tickets will go on sale by the end of May at the latest! Disney traditionally gives us a few days’ notice before the tickets drop online. That’s another reason we like to try and plan even before they give us exact details, because they don’t give us too long in between the news and the ticket drop.

Mickey’s Not So Scary

If you already know the specific dates you want to aim for (and remember, this event doesn’t happen every single night), we have a few pieces of advice for you.

If you’re traveling in the fall and the Halloween party is a must-do, start checking Disney’s website and social media channels daily (or you can keep following DFB because we will also update you ASAP)
Don’t hesitate if you know this party is a priority. Not every date sells out immediately, but they will sell out eventually
You’ve got to be ready when that ticket page goes live and refresh like it’s the Harry Styles tour (if you don’t get this reference, it was VERY difficult to get Harry Styles tickets, so you had to be ALERT)

The Evil Queen!

We are HUGE fans of this party, thanks to all of the exclusive things that you can find there. There are exclusive snacks, merchandise, parades, shows, characters, and MORE at this party. This year is sure to be exciting, and we’re on high alert for more information. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, updates, and more.
