The real trick is to go to some of the more out-of-the-way spots. The lines form quickly at the various treat locations in each land, and they pretty much stay that way all night. Trick or treating at the Magic Kingdom during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is quite a big deal.
LION KING PINS FULL
Let's face it, Halloween is about many things, but it's really about getting bags full of candy, isn't it? Always has been and always will be. Of course, if you've got some money to spend, Disney puts out a boatload full of collectibles, pins, t-shirts, ears and all sorts of stuff for the Halloween party specifically and for the season in general, so it's a good time to be a Disney shopper and collector. Was the swag worth the price of admission? No, of course not, but it's something, and any time Disney gives me something it makes me that much happier. This one is a bit more special because it has the Walt Disney World 50th logo emblazoned on it, so I was pretty happy to head home with a few of those in our suitcase. The happier surprise of the evening was the poster that was handed out to each guest as we exited the park that night.
LION KING PINS FREE
The free embossed poster and the party map. So I appreciated the "Let's Boo This" special map that they had out just for the party. It makes a great trip keepsake and, yes, I have gone back and looked at them many times. They all go in a special trip folder that I make up after each trip. As a Disney fan and collector, I always make sure to grab a map from each park on each trip. We each got a reusable Trick or Treat bag which, of course, ended up filled with candy and treats by the end of the night. Was I disappointed? It was a decent haul. That said for that price, I expect a little bit of free swag to come home with me. Never mind how many times they have picked me up, got me into a car when the keys were locked in or jumped my battery, but they have also been a pretty decent Disney savings over the years.) Now I realize that $98 ain't exactly cheap, but I just built it in to the overall cost for the four of us to have the time we wanted to have on this trip. (On a side note, AAA membership has continued to be completely worth it. That's only because I found a AAA discount which brought the tickets down to $98 apiece. This time the entry fee was double that, around $100. Here's the thing: the cost of this event has certainly risen enough since the first time we attended in the fall of 2009. So, now that the party is back in full form after COVID, how did I feel about returning to the Magic Kingdom at its spookiest? Let's check it out with my Top 5 things to love about the 2022 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. The last two visits were legitimately in fall and both were in September, which is a lot closer to Halloween, both date-wise and feeling-wise. This was the earliest I have ever gone to the party. However, it didn't stop me from buying tickets. I am not such a fan of walking into my beloved Magic Kingdom in August and being greeted by pumpkins everywhere on Main Street. To be perfectly honest, that's a bit early for me. This year, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party began on August 16th and my family and I attended on Friday, August 19. The candy and the plastic pumpkins start lining the shelves in August and I'm pretty sure that the day after school starts, the notebooks and pencils are pushed aside and Halloween completely takes over.Ĭase in point, ever since 2017, Walt Disney World has been starting their annual Magic Kingdom Halloween party in mid to late August.
As a matter of fact, it's the second biggest decoration day right after Christmas. Nowadays, Halloween might as well be Christmas. If you're an older guy like me, you can remember a time when Halloween was essentially celebrated on October 31st, maybe some decorations up a week or even a few days earlier. Of course, nothing says fall quite like Halloween. It's a special time of year in the Big Apple, and I love nothing more than a walk around Central Park on a cool October day with the leaves falling all around you. There's nothing really quite like autumn in New England – or here in New York for that matter. I do like the cooler crisp temperatures, the trees changing color and those yummy pumpkin donuts at Dunkin. And that's not to say that I don't like fall on the contrary, I absolutely love this season. So this past weekend when I was forced to wrestle the jeans out of the closet, it was a sure sign that summer is indeed behind us and fall has taken over. I love summer and I tend to extend shorts season well into October, sometimes even November. You know it's fall when I break the jeans out of the closet. Fall has definitely arrived here in New York.
