It’s Already Happening—Disney Fans Shocked as Halloween Party Dates Vanish Fast

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World continues to be one of the most in-demand seasonal events—and now, another date has officially sold out. August 19 has joined Halloween night (October 31) as the second party night to reach capacity for the 2025 season.

The sellouts aren’t exactly surprising. Halloween night is typically the first to go every year, but August 19 being booked this early is a clear signal that guests are jumping on tickets well in advance. Disney kicked off ticket sales with a strong response, and if last year is any indication—all dates were gone by late September—2025 will likely follow that same trend.

This year’s event kicks off on August 15 and runs through October 31. Party nights fall on select Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays. Starting September 25, Thursdays are added to the rotation. Prices vary depending on the date, starting at $119 and climbing to $229 for premium nights at the end of October. Annual Passholders can save $10 on select August and September nights.

What keeps guests coming back year after year? It’s the event-exclusive entertainment. This year includes the return of Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, the dazzling fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington. Jack and Sally also return for meet-and-greets—this time with updated costumes for a fresh new look.

In addition to those offerings, Disney has confirmed a brand-new dance party inspired by ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, plus themed ride overlays, trick-or-treat stations throughout the park, spooky snacks and drinks, and special merchandise.

Guests with Halloween party tickets can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m. and enjoy the park before the party officially begins at 7 p.m. Many guests take advantage of this early access to ride attractions or grab a bite to eat before the exclusive offerings begin.

If you’ve been thinking about going, don’t wait much longer. With two dates already sold out, the rest could go quickly.
