Disney Resort hotel guests can book Very Merry party dining from September 3, up to 60 days ahead of arrival and covering stays of up to 10 nights. Everyone else waits until September 9. Four Magic Kingdom restaurants are taking party night reservations, including the Adventureland tavern that opened in 2025, and Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party returns in two tiers that differ on price and on where you actually watch the show.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party opened August 7, and Magic Kingdom's daily hours changed with it. On party dates through August 21 the park opens at 8am instead of 9am, with resort early entry at 7:30am, and on Halloween party dates it closes to regular admission at 6pm so the party can begin at 7pm. Happily Ever After and the Disney Starlight parade do not run on party nights, and some Extended Evening Hours have moved to Disney's Hollywood Studios or Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Memory Maker runs $185 in advance and $210 once your trip starts, single downloads run $16.95, and one hard ticket party includes the photos free. Here is how PhotoPass actually works, including the ride photo trap that catches anyone carrying only a plastic ticket card.
Disney Parks dropped a moody Mickey-cards tease across social this weekend, kicking off Halfway to Halloween 2026 — which means Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates and ticket info are imminent. Here's what we know, what to expect based on 2025, and what to watch for in the next 72 hours.
