Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has implemented a new entrance procedure this year, keeping guests away from the Magic Kingdom park entrance touch points until closer to 4 p.m., and requiring entrance into the park from specific areas.

New Entrance Procedure Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

At the front of Magic Kingdom, directional signs point regular day guests to enter one direction and Halloween party guests to the other.

A series of stanchions lead party guests to their waiting area, similar to how Stay and Scream works for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort. A refreshment cart sits near the entrance, something very much needed in the hot Florida sun.

Once it gets closer to the event start time, guests can wait near designated entrance areas.

This graphic displays where Halloween party guests can enter this year. The non “Zoo” marked areas are reserved for regular daytime guests.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place in Magic Kingdom on select nights from August 9 through October 31. Trick-or-treat trail locations for the event were recently revealed, giving guests an idea of where they can expect to find a plethora of sweet treats.
