If you’re more curious about treats than tricks at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we’ve got you. 

Since it launched in 1995, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has become one of the Magic Kingdom’s most beloved events. From treats and shows to parades and ride overlays, there’s tons to do during the after-hours event. So much to do in fact that it becomes easy to work up an appetite, which is why it’s key to know which Magic Kingdom restaurants will be open during the event. 

During the 2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party – which will run from August 9th through October 31st – most of the Magic Kingdom’s main quick service dining locations will be open. These include Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, Casey’s Corner, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, The Friar’s Nook, Pinocchio Village Haus, and Sleepy Hollow Refreshments. 

Disney has also confirmed that “returning favorites”  the Bowl of Bones and Terrifyin’ Twice-Spiced Chicken Sandwich will be returning for this year’s event, with specifics on locations and availability to be released on a later date.  

In addition to quick service locations, the following Magic Kingdom table service restaurants will be open and taking reservations during the party: Be Our Guest Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and The Plaza Restaurant. However, bear in mind that a meal at a table service restaurant will take up a large chunk of valuable party time, and we’d advise against it unless the restaurant is a specific must-do.

Oh, and if you’re looking for some OUTFITS to wear to this year’s Halloween Party, make sure to check out our DFB Halloween merchandise below.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is chock-full of deliciously spooky culinary options for party guests to enjoy. Stay tuned to DFB for MORE updates on the 2024 party!

Six months after we reported extensive filth buildup on the exterior of TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom, the attraction has finally been cleaned.

TRON Lightcycle Run Cleaned

A dark brown, almost black substance previously covered sections of the ride’s canopy supports. The substance may have been dirt or mold. It was mostly growing in shaded areas, common for mold, which can also grow in places with excessive moisture (via CDC).

Thankfully, there are no more signs of such buildup. The attraction was washed — possibly power-washed — overnight.

There are still standard signs of wear and rust from Florida weather but the exterior of TRON Lightcycle / Run is looking much better.

The dark substance was on supports near where guests enter the show building.

TRON Lightcycle / Run opened in August of 2023. It’s a copy of the Shanghai Disneyland ride TRON Lightcycle Power Run. Read our full guide to TRON Lightcycle / Run and watch a POV video below.

A new decorative section of pavement has been revealed in the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure queue under construction at Magic Kingdom.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Queue

Where the queue sidewalk curves under and in front of the Frontierland train station, a circle of gray cobblestones has been uncovered. A lily flower matching the decoration on the nearby gate is in the center of the circle.

The five-petaled lily has become a symbol of Tiana and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The same symbol is in the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure logo. There are floating pink lilies in the attraction’s water.

The Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Louis plush released at Target in April also features a pink water lily. Tiana’s wedding crown is shaped like a water lily. The crown was featured on the first Tiana’s Bayou Adventure pin. The Tiana’s Foods water tower features a lily-inspired decoration.

With scaffolding removed from the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure façade, most visible construction work is ongoing in the queue. We have seen crew members on this scaffolding around a tall wooden pole in the queue.

Tension wires were installed between lampposts. Blue metal lamps were installed on these wires.

We did see one crew member on the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure mountain.

We recently spotted a new critter character in this area.

Blue painter’s tape was around the window panes of these doors next to the train platform. The doors were painted the same brown as the railings on the nearby stairs.

Many construction materials have been cleared from the area directly in front of the barn. Since Splash Mountain closed, the barn has been repainted yellow with large murals and received new signage, doors, lamps, and green window shutters. A delivery truck, covered by a tarp, is next to the barn.

Blue lampposts and wooden lampposts are throughout the queue. The blue metal posts match the new railings.

Some posts also have black horn speakers. These posts have a brighter finish than the ones with lamps.

A farmer’s market has fake plants in large planters. There appears to be a new sign advertising garlic.

Three vintage-style lamps are staged on top of this crate.

A hole in rockwork in front of the queue has been patched.

Frontierland Station

Meanwhile, three crew members were working on scaffolding in front of the Frontierland station during our Monday visit. A section of the station has been covered in brown scrim for months.

This area is surrounded by construction walls.

The tarp was pulled aside, revealing a metal frame, likely for new signage.

From above, we saw the crew members discussing a sketch. The drawing appeared to be of a sign but didn’t feature text.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is scheduled to open this summer at Magic Kingdom. It’s set to be open during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which begins on August 9.

We’ve got some big news about one of the most popular events in Disney World: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

Disney has announced the dates, prices, and new offerings for the 2024 event, but now we have even MORE information. We found a full list of all the rides that will be open during the party! The list is hiding one very exciting update about a NEW ride opening at Magic Kingdom soon!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an extra-ticked event in Magic Kingdom. The party boasts a popular Halloween parade (led by the Headless Horseman), trick-or-treating throughout the park, exclusive snacks, a not-so-spooky fireworks show, a Hocus Pocus-themed stage show, and more.

It’ll take place in 2024 on the following dates:

One of the best things about this party is that the capacity in the park is reduced, which means fewer people and thus shorter lines for rides! Now, not all the rides are open during the party, but a good amount of them are.

We have a full list of all the rides that will be open at the 2024 party, but first, we have to highlight one very exciting update: Magic Kingdom’s newest ride — Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — will be open during the 2024 Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

Are you going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year? Let us know in the comments!

The post FULL LIST of Rides That Will Be OPEN at the 2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World first appeared on the disney food blog.

Disney has just released a BUNCH of new about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

We know about NEW character meet and greets, we know that an UBER POPULAR souvenir will be back this year, and we know that unfortunately, prices are going up a bit this year. But we JUST LEARNED that a brand new ride will be available during the party! Let’s check it out!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special ticked event in Magic Kingdom. The party has a Halloween parade, special fireworks, trick-or-treating in Magic Kingdom, exclusive merchandise and food, and more! This year, the party will take place on the following dates:

• August 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 30
• September 2, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29
• October 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31

One of the most fun things about parties you need a special ticket for in Disney World is that the capacity in the park is reduced, and that means shorter lines for rides! Now, not all the rides are typically open during a party, but a good amount of them are. In 2024 we’re learning that the Magic Kingdom’s newest ride — Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — will be open!

The party will be a great time to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! It opens this summer, and will be very popular. We don’t yet know if Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will use a virtual queue when it opens, but we expect that it will. Disney World has used virtual queues for new rides that have opened recently — including TRON Lightcycle / Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

You join a Virtual Queue using your Disney World app, and you’re put into a “boarding group” at that time. When your boarding group is called, you have a window of time to get in line for the ride. This keeps you from waiting hours in line for a popular ride. The Virtual Queues typically open at 7AM and 1PM each day, and you can try for a spot in the virtual line at that time. BUT, last year at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there was an additional virtual queue drop at 6PM — and it was ONLY for people who had tickets to the party.

Disney has not confirmed a virtual queue for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but this is how it might work for the party if they do!

Here’s How the Virtual Queue Worked During Last Year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
