Hello Katie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
When my family participated in
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this past August, we arrived just before 5pm and were granted early access through a special queue set up specifically to scan tickets and provide wristbands for the Special Event.
For the record, there is no official set time when Guests may enter the Magic Kingdom solely on their
Special Event Tickets. While many Guests have reported access as early as 4pm for previous nights featuring Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, the official queue and access is determined on a nightly basis.
Regardless, be sure to ask Cast Members at the Main Gates about entering the correct queue and using your Special Event Tickets when you arrive. Having the hard copy of your Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a great way to ensure that no mistakes are made when scanning your
MagicBands and no Regular Theme Park Admission is redeemed.
While
FastPass+ Selections are unavailable after the official Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party start time of 7pm, you are more than welcome to book FastPass+ Selections for before the event begins through your
My Disney Experience Account.
Have a Spook-tacular Visit!
