Tips for Planning Your Visit
Planning is essential for making the most of your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party experience. Below are a few recommendations to help you prepare for the event.
Secure Your Tickets Early

Since the event takes place in Central Florida, unpredictable weather is a possibility. Pack ponchos or umbrellas just in case and dress comfortably while keeping any Halloween costumes practical for warm or humid conditions.
Prioritize Key Activities
With a limited timeframe, consider prioritizing the activities that matter most to your group. Whether it’s the parade, certain rides with overlays, or trick-or-treating, having a clear plan will maximize your enjoyment.
