Tickets AVAILABLE for Tonight’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World

Hurricane Ian has just made its way through Florida and it caused Disney World to shut down for 2 days.

Mickey pumpkin in Magic Kingdom

The parks are doing a phased reopening today, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is scheduled to happen tonight in Magic Kingdom. The Halloween party has been completely sold out for a while now, but tickets are actually available for tonight’s party.

We were in Magic Kingdom this morning and saw that the park would still be closing early for the Halloween party tonight.

Magic Kingdom

The sign at the front of the park said that the event is sold out

Sold out?

…but, there was another sign over near City Hall that said tickets are available.

Tickets ARE available

Disney’s website is also saying that the event is still sold out, so these tickets must only be available to buy in person at Disney World. We saw several people waiting in line at City Hall, possibly to buy tickets.

Line for City Hall

The Halloween party had to be canceled on Thursday, September 29th, and people who bought tickets were issued refunds.

So, if you’re in the parks today, you could possibly grab some tickets for the event tonight.

Hurricane Ian has left Florida and is on its way to the Carolinas. Walt Disney World theme parks were closed for two days due to the hurricane and are reopening today, September 30. New Park Pass reservations only opened to resort hotel guests, and the parks have later opening times than usual. Magic Kingdom opened at 8:00 a.m. for Early Theme Park Entry and at 10:00 a.m. for regular guests.

You’ll Either LOVE or HATE This 40th Anniversary Figment Collection in EPCOT!

Did you know that EPCOT is about to turn 40 years old??

EPCOT is turning 40!

October 1st marks EPCOT’s 40th anniversary and Disney World is celebrating with new foods, merchandise, and more. We’ve already gotten a preview of some of the new merchandise coming soon and now we got a sneak peek at a VERY unique collection — featuring Figment’s head??

Harveys and Disney have been partnering together for quite some time now, collaborating on unique seatbelt bag collections featuring some of our favorite Disney movies, characters, and more. They’re releasing an EXCLUSIVE collection in EPCOT for the 40th anniversary, and they just released the first look at TWO new bags coming soon!

©Harveys

First up is a Medium Streamline Tote Bag featuring EPCOT Pavilion symbols along with sapphire handles and an adjustable razzleberry crossbody strap.

©Harveys

The lining is FIGMENT! All kinds of different Figments, actually, plus EPCOT’s 40th anniversary logo.

©Harveys

Inside, you’ll find a special tag celebrating EPCOT’s 40th year.

©Harveys

And the bag comes with a colorful Figment Charm too!

©Harveys

Now it’s time to check out the other bag in the collection, which has our team either REALLY excited or REALLY confused. It’s FIGMENT!

©Harveys

Well, it’s Figment’s head! It’s a Plush Figment Crossbody (just his head), with a seatbelt crossbody strap matching the EPCOT Pavilion symbol print from the tote bag.

©Harveys

If you ever wanted to carry around Figment in Disney World (maybe you missed out on the Figment popcorn bucket?), here’s your chance!

©Harveys

We don’t yet know the prices for this Harveys collection at this time but we’ll be sure to share as soon as we find out.

©Harveys

Also, Harveys released an update notifying followers that this collection has been delayed due to Tropical Storm Ian. The collection will eventually be released in Creations Shop in EPCOT, but we don’t know the date of the release at this time.

©Harveys

Harveys and Disney have not said whether this collection will eventually be available on shopDisney but we’ll be watching closely to find out if and when the collection will drop online, as well as in EPCOT. In the meantime, you can still shop their Orange Bird Collection on shopDisney!

Hurricane Ian came through Florida this week and caused extensive damage.

Strong winds were seen in Central Florida

The storm made its way across the state, initially hitting as a Category 4 hurricane, then went back out into the Atlantic Ocean and is now heading for South Carolina. We’ve seen flooding and damage in areas like Orlando due to the storm, and Disney World was closed for the past 2 days. The parks are now back open, and we’re here to check out what’s going on.

Disney World is currently doing a phased reopening due to the hurricane. Here’s a look at the reopening schedule for today, Friday, September 30th:

Magic Kingdom

  • Early Theme Park Entry (for visitors staying at Disney hotels): 8AM
  • All guests can enter: 10AM
  • Park Close: 6PM
  • Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: 4PM guest entry; 7PM to 12AM party hours

EPCOT

  • Early Theme Park Entry (for visitors staying at Disney hotels): 9AM
  • All guests can enter: 11AM
  • Park close: 9PM

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

  • Early Theme Park Entry (for visitors staying at Disney hotels): 10AM
  • All guests can enter: 12PM
  • Park close: 9PM

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

  • Early Theme Park Entry (for visitors staying at Disney hotels): 11AM
  • All guests can enter: 1PM
  • Park close: 7PM

Disney Springs

  • Open 10AM to 11:30PM

Fantasia Fairways Miniature Golf Course

  • Open 3PM to 10PM

Now, we’re going to head into the parks to see how things are going. Our reporters noted that making their way to the parks this morning was very stressful. They saw a lot of flooding on roads heading toward Magic Kingdom, as well as downed signs and debris. They also had to be rerouted from their normal route as authorities were blocking roads due to downed trees. Their cell service was also not working well, making navigation difficult — so keep all of this in mind if you’re driving to the parks today.

EPCOT

The first park we’re visiting today is EPCOT. Early Theme Park Entry for guests staying at Disney hotels began at 9AM.

Early Entry sign

Walking up to the front of the park, we saw part of a tree limb on the ground.

Walking toward EPCOT

And, some of the 50th Anniversary signs looked like they had suffered some damage due to the winds.

50th signs

We arrived at the park before 9AM and there were a decent amount of people waiting outside to get in.

People waiting for the parks to open

The lines at the front entrance were not very long.

Entering EPCOT

Once inside, the crowds were very little.

Inside EPCOT

Although, there was a long line waiting to speak to Guest Relations.

Over at Test Track, the canopy that goes across the front entrance to the ride is missing.

All that is up is the structure.

We’ll continue to update this post as we see more in the parks today.

REVIEW: Figment Sponge Cake Flies Into EPCOT For 40th Anniversary

After closing for two days due to Hurricane Ian, EPCOT has reopened just in time for its 40th anniversary tomorrow, October 1, 2022. Special treats are available throughout the park, including a Figment sponge cake with honey-lime mousse.

Figment Sponge Cake – $6.49

figment sponge cake 0804

This is a moist sponge cake with no discernible flavor. It’s not dry at all.

figment sponge cake 0798

The honey-lime filling is tangy, refreshing, and plentiful. It’s delicious.

figment sponge cake 0799

The wings on top are made of white confectioner’s sugar. They aren’t crunchy — they melt in your mouth.

figment sponge cake 0801

The purple frosting has a weird chemical taste. We don’t recommend eating that part.

figment sponge cake 0832

It’s larger than it looks and is a good size for sharing. We’ll be back for this again.

The Figment Sponge Cake will be available at Sunshine Seasons through October 3.

Everything’s coming up Figment right now, with a Figment movie in the works, meet-and-greet returning next year, and 40th anniversary plush coming soon.
