We are just a week and a half away from the Halloween Season starting at Walt Disney World, as the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will take place at the Magic Kingdom on Monday, September 1. (And for those of you keeping score, The Emporium has already begun to see some Halloween-themed merchandise creep in…get it…nevermind…I’ll stop with the bad puns now.)
Each year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party sees a few minor tweaks and this year is no exception. It appears that Disney is fully realizing how big Disney Villains truly are, so these bad guys and gals are going to have a big presence at this year’s event.
New this year will be Club Villain, which will be found at the Diamond Horseshoe, located in Liberty Square. This dance party will feature a lively atmosphere, music, and of course, villains. Guests can expect to mingle with Dr. Facilier (The Princess and The Frog), Cruella De Vil (101 Dalmatians), and Cinderella’s wicked step-family, also known as Anastasia, Drizella, and Lady Tremaine.
For those looking to meet some of these baddies, you’ll find a few of them located at meet and greet locations throughout the park. Jafar (Aladdin) will be found in Adventureland, the Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland) can be found near The Mad Tea Party, and Lotso (Toy Story 3) will be able to be found near Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. If you want to head to Princess Fairytale Hall, you’ll find The Queen and Maleficent who will join both Snow White and Aurora. (Anna and Elsa will be meeting as well, on the opposite side.)
For those who enjoyed the Phineas and Ferb Creepa Crew pre-parade last year, it will be returning yet again. This time it will see the addition of Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope. Also returning from last year’s event will be the Monstrous Scream-O-Ween Ball, which will take place at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. For those who are big Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack and Sally will once again be on hand to meet guests.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a great hard-ticket event that takes place on select nights throughout September and October. (Note: The party scheduled for October 31 has already sold out.)
This year’s party looks like it’s got some spooktacularly fun new elements, don’t ya think?
We will go to the party for this first time next month. Besides the rides, it seems like there’s so much to do – will we be able to see it all? How do I prioritize?! Can you tell I’m excited?! (BTW it’s a surprise for my boys)
We have done the party a couple times. I would recommend not doing rides during the party. There is so much to do that we only do things we can’t do on our other Magic Kingdom days. We even avoid meeting characters that aren’t in different costumes…so no Merida, Belle, Ariel, or Tink. But everyone is different. So just enjoy and make sure to look up a map before your party. Kenny the Pirate always has one posted on his blog
Does the fact that Maleficent, the Evil Queen, and Queen of Hearts will have designated meeting places mean that they won’t meet for pictures after the Villains Mix and Mingle? The Mix and Mingle is still happening, isn’t it? Thank you!
Does this mean no Rapunzel/Flynn this year? Or perhaps they are meeting by “their” restrooms?
While the park map hasn’t been released just yet (I’d expect to see that sometime next week) I would wager that Rapunzel and Flynn will not be meeting this year if they aren’t meeting in Fairytale Hall.
Very cool about Chris Pratt. Apparently Depp visits sick kids in hospitals too, as Jack Sparrow, but without the fan fair. Neat.
oops – wrong blog; sorry!
Haha! No worries. I have heard that about Johnny Depp too. At least there are some good guys out there.
