I know it’s not even summer yet, but if you’re planning on visiting Disney World this fall, you may want to think about attending a special party at night in the Magic Kingdom. Starting in September on select nights, you can attend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. If you’re visiting after Halloween through December 19th, you can go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, also in the Magic Kingdom. Both parties are a great way to see characters you don’t always see in the parks, as well as special shows, parades, and fireworks–even snow on Main Street at the Christmas party! They’re also, if you go on the right night, an excellent way to avoid crowds. Parties are held several times a week, usually on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, as well as on alternate Fridays or Saturdays. Check the official Disney Website for exact dates. Regular tickets start at around $59.95 for adults and $53.95 for kids; premium prices on Halloween run a few dollars more. You can purchase your tickets from Disney or from your travel agent, but you can’t buy them at a Disney store. You can also buy them the day of the event if they’re still available. You’ll notice a sign as you go into the Magic Kingdom telling you if there are tickets left. You can also ask at your resort
