Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration is speedy coming near, and extra dates for the Magic Kingdom particular tournament are actually offered out, together with each the primary night time (August 15, 2025), ultimate night time (October 31, 2025), and a handful in between. This pattern is more likely to boost up within the weeks to come back, as there’s typically a “run” on tickets as soon as MNSSHP season begins.
In case you’re new to the Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration scene, the laborious price ticket tournament has offered out each and every unmarried night time for every of the final 3 years. In case you rely Boo Bash, each and every unmarried spook season tournament has totally offered out from 2021 thru 2024 (and counting). That is the ‘new standard’ for Walt Disney Global occasions, even after revenge shuttle and increased pent-up call for spending have run their direction. It’s now not distinctive to MNSSHP, both. Maximum particular occasions promote higher now in spite of maximum additionally affected by staleness and better costs.
That is somewhat the reversal from pre-COVID. It now turns out like an eternity in the past, however again in 2019, Walt Disney Global presented the Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration Move. This used to be necessarily an Annual Move for the Halloween Birthday celebration that allowed get entry to to 35 nights–each and every celebration night time in August, September, October, and November apart from for Halloween itself for $299.
This used to be actually a last-minute providing that rolled out the day of the primary MNSSHP, as Walt Disney Global scrambled to buoy price ticket gross sales for August and September because of a loss of call for. It now turns out like historical historical past, however that used to be the outlet of Famous person Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and many of us instructed transparent of the parks all over that land’s opening months out of fears that it will be chaotic.
Considerations concerning the “crowdpocalypse” stored many Walt Disney Global enthusiasts away who would most often consult with all over the overdue summer time or early fall. Standard components did, too. mid August thru September are college season, hurricane season, and the guts of what’s most often low season in Florida.
Amusingly, August thru October 2025 will nearly undoubtedly be much less busy than their opposite numbers in 2019. That used to be true final 12 months, and it’s more likely to be the case as soon as once more this 12 months given the overall trajectory of attendance.
And but, there are unmarried nights of the 2025 Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration which can be priced over $200 (as opposed to $299 for the 2019 MNSSHP ‘Annual Move’). A type of–October 31–offered out in report time at the day that tickets first went on sale. Like we stated, it’s a unconditionally other dynamic than 2019 and previous. However I digress.
Let’s have a look at offered out dates to this point for this 12 months’s Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration. Let’s get started with this month:
Beautiful simple–the primary 3 events of August 2025 have offered out.
It hasn’t all the time been the case that the sooner tournament dates promote out quickest, however that’s the contemporary pattern. Throughout all occasions, what we’ve spotted is that less expensive dates have a tendency to be in perfect call for. That is most probably a results of budget-conscious shoppers in quest of out dates that supply higher price for cash.
That may now not look like profound perception, and it actually isn’t. Then again, August dates have traditionally all the time been the most affordable and they’ve additionally been least more likely to promote out. In 2019 and previous, August dates (apart from for opening night time) seldom offered out, while pricier October dates did so with regularity.
This tracks with basic crowd patterns, which pattern decrease in August and September than October in spite of less expensive costs in August and September. The massive distinction is that MNSSHP price ticket costs have skyrocketed since, and there are rising populations of native enthusiasts and Disney Holiday Membership contributors, either one of which may actively hunt down more economical celebration dates.
No dates have offered out but in September 2025.
Our expectation is that the following dates to promote out will proceed to be the less expensive ones. This additionally isn’t actually profound perception, as the most affordable dates also are the sooner ones, and there’s much less time between nowadays and the ones dates. So after all it will make sense that they promote out quicker!
That wasn’t all the time the case, however once more, it’s been trending that approach in the previous couple of years. As for when this may increasingly occur, as soon as content material from the primary night time of the development floods social media, there’s typically a “run” on tickets for next occasions–and a number of other extra events promote out round then.
The ones final two components would give an explanation for why October 2025 is in large part now not offered out.
As soon as October rolls round, there are just a handful of dates which can be underneath $199. On most sensible of that, the AP and DVC reductions finish with the September 26 celebration. The entirety after that isn’t discounted.
There’s a explanation why for that: the October events are traditionally the most well liked ones and don’t want reductions to promote out, even at upper costs. The primary reason for October being totally to be had at this level is unassuming: other people have now not begun making plans that a ways forward.
This may sound like heresy to WDW diehards, however most of the people get started making plans a couple of weeks to a couple of days upfront in their journeys. Night time prior to and day-of analysis are extremely not unusual! This could also be why there’s typically a “run” on tickets as soon as the primary MNSSHP occurs and footage & video get started flooding social media. Although there aren’t any thrilling new additions (and there more than likely gained’t be), it’s all about consciousness for occasional guests.
In case you’re questioning when to be expecting this “run” on tickets, final 12 months it happened at the weekdays after the primary celebration.
Adjusted for the later get started date this 12 months, that may imply we will be able to be expecting a couple of dates–more than likely the rest of August thru Hard work Day weekend in September 2025–to promote out through August 19, 2025.
A number of extra September 2025 dates are more likely to promote out after that, most probably through August 25, 2025. Additionally it is most probably that October dates round Columbus Day (10/9-10/14) will get started promoting out round this time. If final 12 months is any indication, all of the month of September will probably be offered out through the Tuesday after Hard work Day (September 2, 2025).
Different dates in October 2025 will more than likely get started promoting out through the primary or 2nd week in September. Remaining 12 months, part of the MNSSHP dates in October offered out on September 10. The rest offered out on or round September 22. That’s when the season totally offered out–prior to October even began, there used to be not anything left.
There’s no explanation why to imagine the 2025 Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration will promote out any another way. Remaining 12 months’s developments had been in line with the former 12 months, which have been very similar to the 12 months prior to that. Some particular nights will promote out quite previous or later, however the overarching pattern is beautiful nicely established. Except October 31 (which assists in keeping promoting out quicker), the fad is for quite slower gross sales–however now not through a lot.
We’d nonetheless be (pleasantly!) stunned if any dates are nonetheless in the stores by the point October 1, 2025 arrives. On the possibility of declaring the most obvious, the entire above considerations previous precedent. In case you actually need to attend the September 2, 2025 (or any particular date), don’t suppose you might have till August 19, 2025. Historic patterns are excellent predictors, however they’re now not conclusive. We’d be expecting the ten/23 celebration to promote out round 9/22 in response to previous precedent, however there’s not anything to mention it gained’t in fact promote out the following day! Identical is going for all different dates.
No conclusions about daylight hours crowds or overarching attendance developments must be drawn from Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration dates promoting out–or now not promoting out.
As we’ve defined in different places, there are numerous causes for MNSSHP promoting out quicker than prior to. At this level, it’s rather well-established that the recognition of the celebration is divorced from general crowd ranges. To that time, in every of the final 3 years, the primary MNSSHP has been a few of the 5 slowest days of the 12 months as much as that time.
“As much as that time” is the most important asterisk as a result of crowds don’t actually backside out till later in August and September, so dates inevitably surpass that first celebration. The one concrete conclusion that may be drawn from offered out MNSSHP nights is that the mix-in window from 4 pm to six pm will probably be busier. It’s completely meaningless for attendance prior to 4 pm. See Best possible & Worst 2025 Dates in Magic Kingdom for extra perception.
The opposite could also be true for October 2025. The ones nights in large part now not being offered out does now not imply that month gained’t be busy.
The one conclusion we will be able to draw from the ones events now not being offered out is that October is additional into the longer term than September. I’d hope that’s a conclusion that may handiest require a elementary clutch of the calendar or months of the 12 months and their ordering.
Our expectation stays that October 2025 will probably be busier than this month or subsequent, and that the ones events will all promote out. We might additionally be expecting this October to be busier than final, barring any storm scares. On a favorable observe, the fad for October has been decrease crowds in the previous couple of years as contrasted with 2016-2019, but it surely’s nonetheless now not on par with August or September.
On a favorable observe, crowds for the previous couple of years were extra manageable. In conjunction with considerably upper costs, Walt Disney Global has very clearly decreased the attendance cap. This is a part of the rationale extra dates promote out. (See Is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Birthday celebration Much less Crowded?! Despite the fact that that clearly considerations MVMCP, the very same sentiment applies to MNSSHP.)
Level being, crowds aren’t just about as dangerous as they had been in 2018-2019. In case you final skilled MNSSHP in October 2019 when this downside top, you must understand the variation. (See “Is Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration Too Crowded?” for extra on how busy that final month of the development used to be.)
That is no be sure that Walt Disney Global will stick to the decrease attendance cap for the 2025 Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration. They may resolve that, on steadiness, visitor pride is upper if the occasions don’t promote out as simply. (Clearly, visitor pride is upper amongst attendees with a decrease cap, however that doesn’t account for visitors who get close out.)
We suspect that’s now not the case, even though. Walt Disney Global has hit the goldilocks zone for crowds–now not too mild or too heavy–at each MNSSHP and MVMCP. This doesn’t imply there’s 0 congestion or traces–you’ll nonetheless come across each, particularly for uncommon characters and in entrance of Cinderella Fort between the parade and fireworks, however there’s no fixing for that.
In the end, should you’re enthusiastic about attending the 2025 Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration and haven’t already purchased tickets, we’d inspire you to decide ASAP. There’s actually no explanation why to attend at this level. No new data goes to be launched that are meant to affect your selection. Each celebration will nearly undoubtedly promote out–it’s an issue of when, now not if.
In case you’re leaning in opposition to going, we’d inspire purchasing quicker slightly than later. Despite the fact that we hate paying those ever-increasing costs and in addition assume the occasions have got somewhat stale and be offering much less bang for greenback than a decade in the past, there’s a explanation why we proceed to wait Mickey’s Now not So Frightening Halloween Birthday celebration and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Birthday celebration on an annual foundation. In spite of all of that, they’re nonetheless very good and “price it.” Obviously, sufficient visitors trust us and are balloting with their wallets accordingly, given the three+ 12 months stretch of offered out dates for each MNSSHP and MVMCP!
