Overview
- Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party began August 7 and, as of August 12, 2026, 12 of the 38 scheduled party nights have sold out, shrinking available dates for standard‑price tickets.
- Disney confirmed that Disney’s Hollywood Studios will end public hours at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, because the Gartner IT Symposium and Xpo is hosting a private evening buyout of the park.
- On party nights Magic Kingdom’s regular operating day ends around 6 p.m. and the park runs a separately ticketed event from 7 p.m. to midnight that replaces standard nighttime shows.
- As earlier and cheaper party dates disappear, remaining tickets are shifting into higher price tiers, with published examples showing late purchasers paying roughly $25 more per adult for comparable weekday dates.
- Disney has moved Extended Evening Hours between parks and guests should expect evening crowd shifts toward EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, so travelers must check the operating calendar and event inventory before finalizing itineraries.
