Overview
- Multiple party nights, including opening night on August 7, were listed as sold out on July 22 on Walt Disney World’s ticketing calendar.
- Disney will close Magic Kingdom to guests without a separate party ticket at 6 p.m. on event nights, meaning standard tickets, Park Hopper entries, and most Annual Passes will not include evening entertainment.
- A sweeping Halloween food rollout debuts August 7 with dozens of new and returning items, with many dishes and drinks reserved for party hours and others available during daytime operations.
- Lightning Lane Premier Pass pricing for August 7 was reduced to $359, reflecting the shortened usable hours for day guests and Disney’s variable pricing tied to operating windows and demand.
- Disney’s published costume rules allow guests of all ages to dress up for the party but ban full masks, weaponlike props, long dragging garments, and other items that could be refused entry or require modification at the gate.
