Four More Not-So-Scary Nights Sell Out, Leaving One August Date at Magic Kingdom

Four more nights of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have sold out at Magic Kingdom: August 25, August 28, October 16 and October 22. That takes the season's sold out total to 21 of 38 party nights, and it leaves exactly one date in August still on sale.

Four More Not-So-Scary Nights Sell Out, Leaving One August Date at Magic Kingdom

The four nights that just went

The two August dates were always going to go. The two October losses matter more, because mid October is the sweet spot most guests aim for, close enough to Halloween for the atmosphere and far enough from it to avoid the top price tier. October 16 and October 22 were both in that band.

Seventeen dates are still available across September and October. Seventeen had sold out at the last check, so this round pushes the season past the halfway mark with two full months of party nights still to run.

Key Details

Every remaining party night and what it costs

Prices below are before tax. Passholder pricing, where it exists, is listed second.

September is where the value sits. Every date under $200 except October 1 falls in September, and the cheapest remaining nights of the whole season are August 30 and September 1 at $149.

Passholder pricing stops after October 2

The discount is not a flat perk across the season. Annual passholder pricing runs about $10 under the standard ticket through October 2, and from October 4 onward it disappears from the chart entirely. Passholders planning to use the discount have four remaining dates to do it on: September 20 through October 2 covers most of them, with August 30 and the early September nights making up the rest.

Put another way, the last passholder priced party of 2026 is October 2 at $189. Every night after that is full price for everyone.

What a party ticket actually buys

Not-So-Scary is Magic Kingdom's after hours Halloween event, running select nights from early August through Halloween itself. A ticket lets guests into the park from 4:00pm, which means up to eight hours inside for an event that officially runs from 7:00pm to midnight.

The headline entertainment is Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade and the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show, with a fireworks show above Cinderella Castle. Several attractions take Halloween overlays for the night, including Space Mountain, which runs in complete darkness with a different soundtrack. Trick or treat stations run throughout the park, and character meets that do not exist the rest of the year come out for the party.

The Buzz

Sellouts are the clearest public read on demand for a ticketed Magic Kingdom night, because Disney does not publish attendance. Twenty one of 38 nights gone before the end of August, with the October peak still ahead, tells you the party is tracking ahead of a casual booking pace.

August 30 is the last August night still on sale

Anyone hoping to do the party in August has one date left and it is August 30 at $149. After that the calendar jumps to September, where nine of the ten remaining nights sit under $200, and then into an October where prices climb to $224 and the passholder discount is gone. The pattern across this season has been steady rather than sudden, so the cheaper September dates are the ones worth booking first rather than watching.
