Disney Sets 38 Early 6 P.M. Closures at Magic Kingdom for 2026 Halloween Parties

Guests must plan around shortened evenings or buy the separate party ticket to stay late.

Overview

Disney, which detailed the fall schedule Tuesday, set 38 nights between August 7 and October 31 when Magic Kingdom ends regular hours at 6 p.m. for Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party.
On party nights, Cast Members clear day guests at 6 p.m. and only wristbanded attendees stay as the park switches to the after‑hours event.
Tickets cost $119 to $229 depending on date, with August the lowest‑priced window and Halloween night at $229 the peak.
Resort guests can buy now and general sales open May 12, with a $10 discount for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members on select dates through October 2.
Every party night sold out last year, so visitors should plan Magic Kingdom days around early closures by either booking the event, choosing another park, or targeting non‑party dates.
