Credit: DisneyMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is already selling out nights for 2026, but guests hoping to attend still have plenty of choices.
As of August 12, 12 of the 38 scheduled party nights have sold out at Magic Kingdom. The newest additions are October 6 and October 29, pushing the event further into the point where guests may want to start paying closer attention to availability.
That still leaves 26 party dates available, with prices ranging from $139 to $224 per person depending on the night.
More importantly, many of the remaining dates are concentrated in September and October. That gives guests quite a few opportunities to attend without completely rearranging a Walt Disney World vacation.
Here’s a roundup of every Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party date that remains available, what tickets cost, and why some of these nights may be sticking around longer than others.
Four August Dates Are Still Available
August has already proven popular.
The first five parties of the year — August 7, 11, 14, 18, and 21 — have all sold out. However, the rest of the month’s parties remain available.
Here are the remaining August dates:
- August 23: $139, or $129 for Annual Passholders
- August 25: $144, or $134 for Annual Passholders
- August 28: $149, or $139 for Annual Passholders
- August 30: $149, or $139 for Annual Passholders
The August 23 party is currently the cheapest remaining option for anyone who qualifies for the Annual Passholder discount. It’s also tied for the cheapest standard ticket still available at $139.
So why haven’t these dates disappeared when the first five August parties did?
Timing could be part of the answer.
The first night naturally attracts guests who want to experience the event as soon as possible. Other early dates may also appeal to people trying to squeeze in a late-summer Disney World trip before school schedules become more complicated.
By August 23, however, many families have already returned to school or are preparing to do so. That could make late August less convenient despite the lower prices.
For guests who have flexibility, that could work in their favor.
September Has the Most Choices
September currently offers the widest selection of available Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates.
Only September 4 and September 8 have sold out so far.
That leaves:
- September 1: $149, or $139 for Annual Passholders
- September 11: $159, or $149 for Annual Passholders
- September 13: $159, or $149 for Annual Passholders
- September 15: $164, or $154 for Annual Passholders
- September 18: $169, or $159 for Annual Passholders
- September 20: $169, or $159 for Annual Passholders
- September 22: $169, or $159 for Annual Passholders
- September 24: $174, or $164 for Annual Passholders
- September 25: $179, or $169 for Annual Passholders
- September 27: $179, or $169 for Annual Passholders
- September 29: $184, or $174 for Annual Passholders
September could be the sweet spot for guests who want the Halloween atmosphere without paying October prices.
There’s also a practical reason these nights may not be disappearing as quickly.
Disney scheduled a lot of parties during this stretch. With so many nights available, demand has more opportunities to spread out rather than concentrating on a handful of dates.
September also sits in an interesting position on the Halloween calendar. The event is well underway, but guests specifically planning a fall or Halloween vacation may prefer October.
That doesn’t necessarily make September less appealing. In fact, guests who care more about experiencing the party than visiting as close to Halloween as possible could find some of the best remaining options here.
Annual Passholder Discounts End in Early October
Guests with Annual Passes should pay particular attention to the calendar.
Discounted Annual Passholder tickets are offered on select nights through October 2. After that, the discounted pricing disappears.
The final discounted dates still available are:
- October 1: $189, or $179 for Annual Passholders
- October 2: $199, or $189 for Annual Passholders
Those aren’t cheap tickets, but the $10 savings could add up for a group.
For a family of four eligible Annual Passholders, that’s $40 saved before considering anything else purchased during the evening.
After October 2, everyone is looking at the regular ticket price.
Nine October Parties Remain Available
October is where prices really begin climbing.
Despite that, guests still have a surprising number of options.
October 6, October 9, October 13, October 29, and Halloween night are sold out. The remaining October parties are:
- October 4: $199
- October 8: $204
- October 15: $214
- October 16: $219
- October 18: $219
- October 22: $219
- October 23: $224
- October 25: $224
- October 27: $224
The price difference between attending August 23 and October 27 is significant.
A standard August 23 ticket costs $139, while October 27 costs $224. That’s an $85 difference per person for the same separately ticketed event.
For a family of four, choosing the later October date instead would mean spending $340 more on admission alone.
That could be one reason some October dates haven’t sold out yet.
The closer guests get to Halloween, the more expensive tickets become. While some people specifically want that late-October atmosphere, others may have trouble justifying more than $200 per person when they can attend essentially the same event earlier in the season for considerably less.
12 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates Are Gone
Although 26 dates remain, the sold-out list is growing.
These are the 12 parties that are no longer available:
- August 7
- August 11
- August 14
- August 18
- August 21
- September 4
- September 8
- October 6
- October 9
- October 13
- October 29
- October 31
October 6 and October 29 are the newest sellouts. Those tickets originally cost $199 and $224, respectively.
Halloween night was in a category of its own. The October 31 party sold out within hours after tickets became available to the general public, despite carrying the season-high $229 price tag.
That makes sense. If you’re going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party specifically because you love Halloween, spending October 31 inside Magic Kingdom is about as close as you can get to the ultimate date.
The rapid sellout also shows that price isn’t always the biggest factor. The date itself can carry enough appeal to outweigh the additional cost.
Why Haven’t the Other Dates Sold Out?
There probably isn’t one simple explanation.
First, Disney offers 38 party nights this year. That’s a lot of inventory, and guests have numerous opportunities to choose from.
Second, ticket prices increase substantially as the season progresses. Someone who simply wants to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party could save a significant amount by choosing August or September instead of late October.
Then there’s the calendar.
Weekday parties can be difficult for families dealing with school and work schedules. Some guests may also wait until closer to their Walt Disney World trip before deciding whether to add a party ticket, particularly when admission can cost more than $200 per person.
Weather may play a role in buying habits as well. Since tickets are date-specific, guests booking months ahead have no way of knowing exactly what conditions will look like on their party night.
Most importantly, having tickets available right now doesn’t necessarily mean these dates will remain available.
Disney has already sold out 12 parties, including the first five dates of the season. October 6 and October 29 becoming unavailable shows that demand isn’t limited to one particular part of the calendar.
There Are Still Plenty of Choices—for Now
Guests haven’t reached the point where Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is difficult to book across the board.
With 26 dates remaining, there’s still a large portion of the calendar available.
The bigger question is how quickly that changes.
Guests focused on price still have August and September options starting at $139. Annual Passholders can find discounted tickets through October 2. Meanwhile, those who want to attend closer to Halloween still have several late-October nights available, although they’ll pay as much as $224 per ticket.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party allows ticket holders to enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4 p.m., with the event continuing until midnight. The party includes Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, fireworks, and Halloween changes to select attractions.
The good news is that Disney World guests still have choices.
But with 12 dates already gone and new sellouts reaching deeper into October, anyone who has a specific night in mind may not want to assume it’ll stay available indefinitely.
