While tickets for the 2020 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties went on sale in February, we haven’t heard very much on the subject of Disney World’s spookiest season since then!

With so many changes happening right now regarding Disney World’s reopening, including a new reservation system, including suspending all Fastpass+ and dining reservations, and canceling all Disney Dining Plans through 2021 (not to mention you can’t purchase park tickets or book a room at Disney World right now), what could this mean for Magic Kingdom’s annual Halloween celebration?

Well, we had to get to the bottom of this pressing matter and, after speaking with a Cast Member today, we were able to confirm all Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets ARE still valid…but they aren’t selling any more of them right now.

Now whether or not this means Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties will happen or not, we can’t confirm at this time. The 2020 separately-ticket parties are scheduled to begin August 13th and run on select nights through November 1st. That doesn’t leave Disney with a lot of time to get its stuff figured out since Magic Kingdom’s tentative reopening date is July 11th.

Keep in mind, Disney has stated that everything is subject to change, so things might be altered at any time. It’s also worth noting that if Disney reopens with their proposed plan to halt fireworks, parades, and character meet-and-greets, it’s possible that many of the experiences people are eager to experience at the Halloween parties may be altered or missing entirely. We’ll keep you posted if Disney announces anything further.

And keep in mind we are also still waiting on Disney World to release tickets for the 2020 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parties which came out on April 8th last year.

See what other big announcements we’re STILL waiting on from Disney here!

We’re continuing to dig and look for answers and we’ll report back soon with any information we uncover, but for now hold onto those Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets because as far as we know, they’ll still GOOD!

Many, many changes are occurring right now with the Walt Disney World Resort. From the cancellation of Disney Dining Plans, Advance Dining Reservations, and FastPass+ to the news that there will, in fact be a reservation system in place for entering the park, to the news that currently you cannot purchase tickets to enter the parks, things have been coming in fast and furious. And with that, I have another piece of news, but this time, it’s a little more positive.

According to theme park reporter extraordinaire, Carlye Wisel, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be a go this year. Tickets that have already been purchased will remain valid and will not be cancelled.

Now, with this news, that leaves many many other questions. We know there likely won’t be a parade, or fireworks, or a stage show, due to information put forth from Disney about normal park operations. (These things will be suspended during the regular park day.) But what will the parties entail? Unfortunately, at this point, we just don’t have an official answer. All we do know is that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will continue this year.

Stay tuned to the blog for more information regarding the parties and what Guests will be able to expect if they have tickets for the event.

With the global health crisis going on, a lot of folks are wanting to give back.

Disney has made a few big donations to help out with the crisis. They are donating 1 million cloth masks to children and families in underserved communities and the parks donated 150,000 rain ponchos for use in hospitals around the country. Now, Cast Members are showing their love with customized thank-you cards for healthcare workers through Disney Magic Moments.

Cast Members created more than 17,500 customized cards that Disney then printed and mailed to healthcare workers at almost 40 hospitals around the country. This Disney Magic Moments effort was to thank workers personally for their support, courage, and sacrifices.

Cast Members and employees were able to visit the Disney VoluntEARS Thank You Card page where they could build the card with customizable options. They were able to choose from designs inspired by Disney films, select their thank-you message of choice, and stylize it with their favorite font. The cards were delivered earlier this week.

According to Elissa Margolis, Disney’s Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility, “Since the pandemic began, we’ve heard repeated requests from our employees for ways that they can give back. We are thrilled to provide this opportunity to show our gratitude to the medical professionals who continue to go above and beyond and sacrifice so much in caring for others during this crisis.”

Just yesterday — among several other updates regarding the reopening of Walt Disney World — it was announced that all existing Advance Dining Reservations would be canceled by Disney. This action is being taken to limit guest capacity throughout the Resort (with restaurants included) in light of new safety measures for the reopening.

While you can read all about that by clicking here, we wanted to fill you in on a way you can still get a reservation for select restaurants in Disney Springs.

We gave a ring to the lovely folks at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs. They expressed that to their knowledge all reservations booked through My Disney Experience (either through the app or by logging in to the Walt Disney World website) are in the process of being canceled.

However, Wine Bar George also accepts reservations through OpenTable.com, and guests are welcome to rebook by finding Wine Bar George on that website! And existing reservations made on OpenTable still stand.

Speaking of Wine Bar George…

You can read about our visit to the recently reopen Wine Bar George here!

Additional Disney Springs restaurants that you can find on OpenTable include STK Orlando, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, The BOATHOUSE, Morimoto Asia, Paradiso 37, Paddlefish, Frontera Cocina, Planet Hollywood, and Terralina Crafted Italian. (And remember, there are no cancellation fees when booking through OpenTable!)
