A Disney World vacation<\/a> is always fun, but it really gets magical for Halloween! We’ve partnered with writer and photographer Kelly Stilwell from Food, Fun & Faraway Places as she uncovers what’s new for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Get ready for the Happiest Haunting on Earth!<\/em><\/p>\n

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, is officially upon us, and there’s a lot to be excited about this year! It may not feel like fall yet, but Disney World’s Magic Kingdom has been transformed and definitely feels like Halloween!<\/p>\n

And what are kids most excited about when it comes to Halloween? CANDY! 250 TONS of it will be handed out before this event comes to an end on Halloween night!<\/p>\n

The first time I visited Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party with my family, I think my kids were probably about 5 and 8 years old. We have so many great memories of that trip to Disney World, and many of them were from the night we spent at the party.<\/p>\n

Fast forward more than ten years, and we now live just 90 minutes from the parks. We’re still having a blast at this Halloween party extravaganza and we’ve all agreed this last visit may be rivaling our first as our very favorite! Disney World has pulled out all the stops this year, so if you’re considering taking that vacation between now and October 31, get your tickets before they are gone!<\/p>\n

Honestly, this year’s event was so good, I can’t imagine how they will top it next year, which will mark 25 years of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. But, of course they will! It’s Disney, after all!<\/p>\n
