Credit: DisneyMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party continues to fill up at Walt Disney World, and guests hoping to attend the Halloween event are running out of options.
Another party night has officially sold out at Magic Kingdom, adding to a growing list of dates that are no longer available. The latest movement comes as the 2026 event moves deeper into its schedule and demand continues to outpace what Disney saw at the same point last year.
As of August 18, 16 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates had already sold out. That included several August nights, multiple September dates, and a growing number of October parties.
With more dates disappearing, anyone still planning to attend may want to make a decision sooner rather than later.
Another Mickey’s Halloween Party Night Is Gone
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs on select evenings at Magic Kingdom and requires a separately purchased event ticket.
Disney limits attendance for each party, which means a date can become unavailable even while regular Magic Kingdom admission remains available for that day.
The latest sellouts have arrived quickly.
According to the latest availability update, August 23, October 8, and October 15 recently joined the sold-out list. Those additions brought the total number of unavailable 2026 party dates to 16 as of August 18.
They join October 31, which sold out on the first day of general public ticket sales on May 12. Opening night on August 7 also sold out, along with August 11, August 14, August 18, and August 21.
September 4, September 8, and September 11 are unavailable as well.
October has already lost several additional nights, including October 6, October 9, October 13, October 29, and the newly unavailable October 8 and October 15 parties.
The growing list makes one thing increasingly clear: waiting until the last minute could make attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party much more difficult this year.
August Is Running Out of Available Nights
The situation looks particularly tight for guests hoping to visit during August.
After the August 23 sellout, only three August dates remained available in the latest ticket update: August 25, August 28, and August 30.
August 25 was listed at $144 per ticket, while August 28 and August 30 were priced at $149.
That means most of the month’s parties have already reached capacity.
Guests who specifically planned to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party during an August Walt Disney World vacation now have far less flexibility than they did when tickets initially went on sale.
It also raises the possibility that August could soon become the first full month of the 2026 season to sell out.
That would not be unprecedented.
In 2025, every August party had sold out by August 26. However, the overall 2026 event is currently selling at a faster pace than last year’s party did at this point in the calendar.
If that trend continues, the remaining August dates may not last much longer.
September Still Gives Guests More Choices
Guests who have some flexibility in their vacation plans still have more options in September.
As of the latest update, September 1 remained available for $149, while September 13 was priced at $159 and September 15 at $164.
September 18, 20, and 22 were listed at $169. September 24 cost $174, while September 25 and September 27 were priced at $179.
The final available September date listed, September 29, cost $184.
Still, September has already started losing nights.
September 4, September 8, and September 11 have all sold out. That pattern could become more important as August availability disappears because guests with flexible travel dates may begin looking toward September instead.
That could put additional pressure on those remaining parties.
The Halloween event also becomes more expensive as the calendar moves closer to October, meaning waiting for a later date does not necessarily benefit guests financially.
October Dates Are Disappearing Too
October may seem far enough away that guests have time to decide, but several parties during the month have already reached capacity.
Halloween night was the first major warning.
The October 31 party sold out immediately when general public sales opened on May 12, making it clear from the beginning that certain dates would be extremely popular.
Since then, several more October nights have followed.
There were still options remaining in the latest availability update, including October 1 for $189 and October 2 and October 4 for $199.
October 16, October 18, and October 22 remained available for $219, while October 23, October 25, and October 27 were listed at $224 each.
Those prices show just how much the cost can vary depending on the night guests choose.
Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members can receive a $10 discount per ticket on qualifying party dates through October 2.
Even with several October nights remaining, the recent wave of sellouts suggests availability can change quickly.
2026 Is Moving Faster Than Last Year
Perhaps the biggest story isn’t any individual sold-out date. It is how quickly the entire 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party calendar is filling up.
The 2025 event experienced its quickest wave of sellouts during the middle and latter portions of August. Every August party was gone by August 26, with September dates beginning to disappear shortly afterward.
This year, Disney had already reached 16 sold-out nights by mid-August, putting 2026 ahead of last year’s pace.
The comparison becomes even more interesting when looking at the full season.
Every Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party date for 2025 had sold out by September 24. Based on the faster pace this year, it is becoming increasingly possible that Disney could reach a complete sellout even earlier in 2026.
Of course, remaining availability can change at different speeds. One date selling out doesn’t guarantee the next will immediately follow.
But guests now have considerably fewer choices than they did when tickets first became available.
Waiting Comes With a Bigger Risk
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party remains one of Walt Disney World’s major separately ticketed events, and the 2026 sales pattern shows that demand isn’t slowing down.
For guests who already know they want to attend, choosing a date early could become increasingly important.
Sixteen nights were already gone as of August 18, August was approaching a near-total sellout, and October dates were disappearing well before Halloween.
There are still multiple opportunities to attend, particularly throughout September and October. But the calendar looks very different than it did when tickets first went on sale.
And if 2026 continues moving faster than last year’s event, those remaining choices could shrink considerably over the next several weeks.
For anyone building a Walt Disney World trip around Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the biggest concern may no longer be which night works best.
It may simply be whether that night is still available by the time they decide to buy.
