I love Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland!
If you don’t have tickets to Mickey’s Halloween Party already then this info is for next year because this event sells out every year! Plan ahead and be ready to buy your tickets early so you don’t miss out on this “not so scary” good time.
Why do I love it?
I love it because it’s Disneyland first and foremost, and I love Disneyland. If you don’t love Disneyland it’s still good for the kids and fun for the adults. The fireworks show, exclusive to Mickey’s Party is very high on the list. It’s hosted by Jack Skellington with a special appearance by Zero. It stars all your favorite villains. The fireworks show only happens once per night so slip it in between candy stops because you don’t want to miss it! The real reason to go to this party is for the costumes! People go all out. The family costumes are the best!
There are other reasons to go
The candy is name brand candy but there are also healthy snacks like carrots, apples, graham crackers and more. Bring an extra bag (or 2) for all the goodies you will collect along the treat trails (there’s a special AP trail for Annual Passholders).
There’s more…
There is also a Frightfully Fun Parade and the riding of The Headless Horseman. The lines for the rides are short because this is a ticketed event with a limited number of people. There are photo ops galore! SO MANY characters are out mingling with the crowd but beware the villains are out in mass too.
A few more things
You can enter the park earlier than the party starts. I suggest you get checked in to Mickey’s Halloween Party as early as possible. The party closes at different times on different nights so check the schedule. At the end of the night on your way out take a minute to check out the characters who gather to put on a show along the steps of the railroad.There are lots of candy stops but the best ones I found that had lots of candy and very few people in line were…
- The Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland
- Right next to the Mickey and the Magical Map Amphitheater, across from It’s a Small World
- The back passage that connects Fantasyland to Frontierland
- The pathway next to the Hungry Bear Restaurant, along the river
- Near The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride
I hope you go
I hope everyone gets to go at least once in their life! So much fun!
