With tickets now on sale for on-site company, Walt Disney World has lastly revealed date-specific pricing for all nights of the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together. This lists the associated fee for each single particular occasion in August, September and October, together with fast commentary.
Other than increased costs (just about a given), essentially the most attention-grabbing wrinkle to the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together is that it’s beginning a full week later than final 12 months, on August 15, 2025 versus August 8 as would’ve been anticipated if historic traits held. It’s our robust suspicion that that is being finished to offer an extended runway for the debut of Disney Starlight: Dream the Evening Away. (See our recently-updated When Will Starlight Evening Parade Open?)
Regardless of this later begin, simply as there have been 38 events final 12 months, there are additionally 38 events this 12 months. Walt Disney World has saved the identical variety of events per 30 days, and completed the week later begin by including two Sunday night time events in August 2025. How this impacts crowds stays to be seen, however fortunately, they’re including extra dates to the slowest month of the 12 months versus cramming much more into October, which is busier.
We’re not going to maintain issues transient (by our requirements), as we already mentioned this subject at size simply a few days in the past in 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together Excessive Ticket Costs Break $200 Barrier. That got here when all we knew was the pricing vary for tickets, which is $119 to $229.
As we pointed on the market, Walt Disney World “solely” resetting the ceiling (albeit blowing previous the earlier excessive by $30) must be thought-about a small victory. The bottom worth stays the identical as final 12 months, holding regular at $119. Nevertheless, we additionally “warned” that the distribution of date-specific pricing would in all probability skew in direction of the upper finish of the spectrum–which means that there’d be far fewer $119 and even $129 dates, and extra $179 and above dates.
Because it turned out, this was largely correct. The most important factor we acquired incorrect was in predicting that the general common throughout all dates would improve by solely 5%. Because it seems, we undershot the mark by a bit resulting from underestimating the variety of $199+ nights and overestimating the variety of $119/$129 nights.

By my calculations, the typical ticket worth for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together is up by over 7.5%. Excluding a small handful of dates in August 2025 which are unchanged, the rest of dates are up by $10, $20 and even $30. Most have elevated by $10, however there’s the next variety of +$20 dates than we anticipated, and fewer $119 or $129 events than anticipated (which means fewer +$0 dates).
As a reminder, Annual Passholders and Disney Trip Membership Members can save $10 per ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Get together—legitimate just for choose occasion nights in August and September.
Moreover, solely company of choose Walt Disney World Resort accommodations should purchase Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Get together tickets as of immediately (Might 15, 2025). All different Friends could buy tickets starting on Might 22, 2025. This advance buy window is accessible to Friends of:
- Disney Resorts Assortment accommodations
- Walt Disney World Swan Resort
- Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

- Shades of Inexperienced at Walt Disney World Resort
The ‘choose’ accommodations line journeys some planners up, however all it means is that the lineup doesn’t embody most of the third get together accommodations eligible for Early Entry (e.g. Bonnet Creek and Disney Springs). In case you’re staying at one of many two-dozen-odd accommodations with “Disney’s” within the identify, you’re eligible.
In case you’re questioning whether or not demand is likely to be mushy because of the pretty hefty common worth improve, we doubt it. You don’t want to fret about tickets promoting out throughout the pre-sale or preliminary days they go on sale to most people. However you additionally ought to get off the fence come what may nicely earlier than your journey dates roll round.
There are simply no indicators by any means of demand softening to the extent anticipated or hoped for by some followers. As lined in Walt Disney World Bookings Are Up for Remainder of 2025, reservations are outpacing final 12 months for the third and fourth quarters (and into fiscal 2026), in response to Disney’s newest earnings name. Per visitor spending stays robust, suggesting that no matter pressures customers is likely to be dealing with, those visiting Walt Disney World usually are not slicing again.
Usually talking, Halloween night time virtually at all times sells out first. From there, often cheaper dates and the primary night time promote out someday in July, with extra dates promoting out in early August. As soon as content material from the primary night time of the occasion floods social media, there’s often a “run” on tickets for subsequent occasions–and several other extra events promote out round then.
This was true final 12 months, when October 31 bought out on Might 21–the earliest ever promote out!
The following date didn’t promote out till July 19, with 4 extra August dates all promoting out in July. All the most cost-effective get together 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.
We might anticipate this to be true as soon as once more, with the $119 and $129 dates being among the many first to promote out in 2025, particularly with so few of them. Whereas vacationers are largely locked into no matter journey dates they’ve already chosen, there’s a rising fanbase in Central Florida together with weekend warriors who take fast final minute journeys. A lot of them (or a minimum of, sufficient of them) are budget-conscious, and so they’ll take the tradeoff of cheaper (or reasonably, inexpensive) tickets in trade for depressing, costume-unfriendly climate.
Finally, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see whether or not all dates of the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together promote out once more, as has been the case in every of the previous couple of years because the occasion returned. Whereas we want to see fewer bought out dates to pressure Walt Disney World to reevaluate the leisure slate or pump the brakes on pricing, that’s in all probability wishful pondering.
The truth is that Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together is extra standard than ever, and as with Lightning Lanes, company are making sacrifices elsewhere of their trip (or different) budgets with a purpose to attend MNSSHP. The most effective we are able to realistically hope for might be that tickets promote out slower than final 12 months–however I’d be ecstatic to be incorrect, and have a number of nights not promote out in any respect. Clearly, that might be good for company, but in addition for the long-term well being of the occasion, because it’s gotten fairly stale and Walt Disney World has no incentive to do something about that.
