Walt Disney World has launched pricing for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration, with a brand new file excessive as ticket costs break the $200 barrier (or actually, blow previous it) for the primary time ever. This covers the minimal and most prices, together with our commentary and date-by-date predictions as we await the discharge of tickets.
Though sticker shock is widespread with all issues Walt Disney World, this shouldn’t be stunning. Previous to this announcement, we provided the next prediction in our 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration Information: Ticket costs for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration will seemingly vary from $125 to $225 relying upon the date. It’s really troublesome to foretell costs–they skyrocketed just a few years in the past, however haven’t gone up a lot since then regardless of all dates promoting out. So Walt Disney World might follow the present vary ($119 to $199) or blow previous it, resetting the ground and ceiling (~$150 to $250).
The latter is more likely to occur in some unspecified time in the future, and it might be savvy of Walt Disney World to tear off the band-aid on controversial value will increase suddenly versus incrementally over the course of some years. However I don’t know that 2025 would be the 12 months for an enormous value improve. Disney is already contending with worth notion issues, and has been discounting closely as financial uncertainty and plummeting worldwide journey take a toll on park attendance and resort occupancy.
Because it seems, we had been proper and incorrect. The very first thing we had been incorrect about was the entire notion of financial uncertainty, a downturn in worldwide journey, and even Epic Universe’s opening impacting Walt Disney World.

Because the title suggests, bookings are outpacing final 12 months for the third and fourth quarters (and into fiscal 2026), in keeping with Disney’s newest earnings name.
On a optimistic be aware, fortunately the corporate did not reset each the ground and ceiling. As a substitute of elevating each the utmost and minimal, Walt Disney World solely touched the higher finish of the spectrum, with 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration ticket costs costing $119 to $229. Date by date costs haven’t but been launched–simply the vary. Listed below are extra pertinent timing & pricing particulars…

Nonetheless, there are just a few different issues conclusions we will draw concerning the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration, and predict costs for many dates inside $10 per ticket…
The primary prediction is that the distribution of costs will skew extra in the direction of the upper finish of the spectrum. It is a fairly secure prediction as a result of it’s been true throughout the board with pricing.
Whilst Walt Disney World has preserved decrease base costs, the variety of dates obtainable on the backside of the spectrum has been shrinking. This occurred final 12 months with MNSSHP costs–though the utmost value didn’t improve, ticket costs had been up on the entire practically 5% by advantage of fewer inexpensive dates and extra dates in October costing $179 to $199.
Throughout final 12 months’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration, there have been solely 5 dates that price the beginning value of $119. All of them had been in August. There have been one other 7 dates that price $129 (the second-lowest value level), all of which had been within the first half of September. If I needed to guess in the present day, I’d predict that there can be 4 or fewer dates costing $119, and 10 or fewer at or under $129.
For reference, listed here are final 12 months’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration ticket costs by date (grownup/kids):
- August 9 $149/$139

As you’ll be able to see, costs obtained progressively dearer deeper into social gathering season, except for the primary social gathering attributable to a “blogger tax” and the October 4 and 11 events, attributable to being Fridays of fall break. If you wish to know what any date this 12 months will price, taking its corresponding evening final 12 months and including $10 is the most secure method. That’ll find yourself being incorrect for a lot of dates, however it must be a fairly shut approximation.
The most important exception to that rule would really like be the ultimate nights. If historical past had been to repeat itself, we might count on to roughly see comparable developments, with the ultimate 4 events on the finish of October 2025 all costing $229 per ticket. The “roughly” a part of that’s as a result of how rapidly every date offered out can be a related consideration.
Usually talking, Halloween evening nearly all the time sells out first. From there, normally cheaper dates and the primary evening promote out someday in July, with extra dates promoting out in early August. As soon as content material from the primary evening of the occasion floods social media, there’s normally a “run” on tickets for subsequent occasions–and a number of other extra events promote out round then.
This was true final 12 months, when October 31 offered out on Could 21–the earliest ever promote out!
The subsequent date didn’t promote out till July 19, with 4 extra August dates all promoting out in July. The entire least expensive social gathering dates had been among the many first to promote out, which isn’t an enormous shock since these are additionally the occasions that happen earliest. If something, the final 2 dates in August underperformed, solely promoting out ~2 weeks upfront of these dates.
Arguably the worst-performing dates had been the events that had been the weekend earlier than Halloween, together with the one non-school evening, all of which had been priced at $199 and none of which offered out till late September. In equity, these offered out additional upfront than the late August and early September dates, however they had been additionally the final to promote out–that means that procrastinating locals with a scarcity of selections would’ve had the choice of those dates or nothing.
That is all to say that October 31, 2025 will, definitely, price $229 per ticket. That’s not solely Halloween evening, however it’s a Friday evening in 2025. It wouldn’t shock me if, even on the $30 increased value level, this nonetheless sells out in file time and is unavailable earlier than Could is over. (Not so daring prediction: no different dates promote out till at the very least mid-July 2025.)
Truthfully, Walt Disney World might’ve in all probability priced October 31, 2025 at $250 or $275 and nonetheless had no points promoting out. The larger drawback would’ve been notion by way of articles like this one, social media complaints, and so forth. (That’s arguably why Walt Disney World hasn’t been extra aggressive with MNSSHP and MVMCP value will increase, regardless of demand very clearly supporting increased ticket prices.)
Sooner or later, I wouldn’t be stunned to see Walt Disney World make Halloween evening its personal separate factor, charging $300 or no matter, but in addition making that occasion distinctive not directly in order to be excluded from the pricing chart. However that isn’t what’s occurring this 12 months, so it’s a bit inappropriate.
What I additionally wouldn’t be stunned to see occur is different dates in late October 2025 not break the $200 barrier.
Possibly that stretch will development the identical manner as final 12 months, with the ultimate 4 events all costing the identical value. However given how gradual these different dates offered as contrasted with October 31–which is now a Friday this 12 months–I wouldn’t be stunned if Disney needs to present it time earlier than breaking the $200 barrier with extra dates.
In the event that they do value the October 24, 26, 28, 30 events at $229, then I additionally wouldn’t be stunned to see a number of of these dates not promote out. That’s a daring guess, and it’d be the primary time since 2019 that each date of a Halloween social gathering didn’t promote out. Given how a lot phrase of mouth and FOMO are drivers of gross sales for Walt Disney World, that is probably not a raffle they’re prepared to take.
Even so, you’ll be able to count on to pay extra for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration tickets in 2025 vs. 2024. The bottom fee is unchanged, that means at the very least a few of these August dates can have an identical year-over-year pricing and not price $10 greater than final 12 months.
Nonetheless, Walt Disney World is extraordinarily ‘environment friendly’ at value will increase. Which means that the majority of dates in September and October will price $10 greater than final 12 months. No matter what occurs with the variety of $229 nights (even when it’s simply October 31 that breaks the $200 barrier!), we absolutely count on one other 12 months of 5% or better value will increase as a complete.
