1. Arrive Early

One of the most important tips for doing Halloween at Disney is to arrive early.

How early can you get into Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?

The party doesn’t start until 7 p.m., but you are given access into the Magic Kingdom through the specially marked party entrance at the front of the park as early as 4 p.m.

The five hours you have (7 p.m. to midnight) can be done if you have an airtight plan.

I recommend getting to the park closer to 3 p.m. in order to give you enough time to park and get through security.

This will allow you to get checked in early, enjoy some attractions, and eat before all the Halloween fun starts.
