"Official" 2025 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

[HeadNerd]

I tried calling in and got told the same 60-day. So I'm thinking some people who are at 60+10 for the first party are within their window at the moment. But the wording on the various restaurant and desert party pages that hotel guests could start booking June 12th was very confusing!

This is totally random I’m betting, but do they still allow dvc members in early? I remember when we went in 2019 for two parties, we got in at 2pm.
I’m looking at my photo from 2022 and we were in around 3:54. Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Thank you!

They allow all guests holding a party ticket starting around 3:45. There is no difference for DVC members.

My adult Jack and Sally loving daughter's priority this year is meeting them. Assuming we enter around 4 p.m., is there already a line for them or does that line begin with the party at 7 p.m.? We were at the party last year, but with no focus on characters then, I don't recall the scoop on meet and greets at all! Also, is there a page where I can look at the 2025 party only merchandise for the party? TIA

We've been able to enter around 4PM be very close to the front of the line for Jack and Sally and usually out by 4:15 - 4:30.

Am I supposed to be able to make an ADR for a party day already? We have party tickets for 8/17 and a resort reservation. My 60 day window is tomorrow morning. I confused by the wording on the page for CRT on the WDW website. I followed link provided in the faq here, but cannot find anywhere to book early. Thanks

The wording was very confusing! You will be able to make your ADR's when your 60 day window opens.

Howdy - haven't been to WDW for a while, and we're finally back and going to the Halloween party on Sunday, August 17th.

Our cruise arrives back into port on that day, so I'm thinking we might park our rental car at Disney Springs and go to either the Grand Floridian or Polynesian and have some lunch then work our way to MK before 4:00 pm.

At the end of the night, what is easier - going to the TCT and catching an Uber back to Disney Springs to pick up our car, or trying to use Disney transportation? Since we'd have to go to a resort first and then to Disney Springs (if possible that time of night) it sounds like a nightmare. I'd appreciate any tips or word of advice - thank you so much!

I would not recommend leaving your car at Disney Springs. Could be a challenge getting there and you would need to find some sort of private transportation as DS will be closed when the party is over so buses will not be going from the resorts to DS.

something else people sometimes fail to consider is how hot the FL sun is in the summer. Leaving your luggage in the car for the day could be a recipe for disaster. I highly recommend taking your luggage to your resort and then going to the party. You can still take time to go to GF or Poly for lunch before the party. Are you staying on Disney property or offsite?

 

[elvispursley]

If it were me, I think I would either park at the TTC and walk over to the Poly (or monorail) and hang there for a bit before moving to GF and on to the party. Then at the end of the night take Disney transportation back to the TTC. Or, why not take an uber from your hotel to MK and do the above property plan, catching an uber back to your hotel?

Please note that Uber/Lyft drop off at TTC and not MK. They are not permitted to drop off or pick up at the MK.

I’m aware of that and did not mean for them to go to a MK-area hotel. Sorry it wasn’t clearer.

Thanks. Just wanted to clarify as some don't know and might think they could Uber/Lyft to either MK itself or, one of the monorail resorts. Guests are only permitted to be dropped off at the TTC. Sometimes they can get picked up at a monorail resort after a party but the waits for this get very, very long so it's best to use the TTC route if not wanting to take Disney transportation back to their resort.

 

[CrabbyPatty]

Thank you, all, for your comments - I appreciate it! After doing the numbers, and figuring out how much time it would all take, I think paying the $30 to park at the TCC is the best bet. We'll try to check into our hotel early (or at least leave our luggage there) and maybe stop for a late lunch at the Polite Pig (love that place). Then we'll drive to WDW, park, and find something to do until we can get in line around 3:45 pm and get into MK after 4 pm.

Got my ticket this week for September 7th which is also my birthday. My husband departs that day and I finish out my trip flying solo! So excited!

I requested physical tickets for the Halloween party (yes, I know they are in MDE but I like having the cards & it doesn't cost extra to do so). They came in today. I thought I had read when I bought them they would not be shipped out sometime in early July so I was surprised when they showed up today. We are going to an August party. We got Mickey & Woody as the characters. I wish they would make them a little more Halloween themed for these tickets but they don't.

How do you request digital tickets?
