How early can you enter Magic Kingdom for not so scary?

Even though Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party doesn't officially start until 7 pm, you can enter the park as early as 4 pm with your event ticket. You will not need a park reservation since it is a special event. Just a heads up–this event sells out pretty quickly and last year, we saw a huge demand.



While Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party officially begins at 7:00 PM, guests with a party ticket can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM. This "early entry" is a significant perk, as it gives you three extra hours of park time before the regular day guests are cleared out and the spooky festivities begin. Upon arrival at 4:00 PM, you will go through a dedicated turnstile where you receive your party wristband and a trick-or-treat bag. Most guests use this time to ride popular attractions that might close during the party or to grab an early dinner so they can focus entirely on the exclusive parades, fireworks, and candy trails once the clock strikes seven.
