    How do special ticketed events like Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party factor into usage of a Park Hopper? If I would purchase a special ticketed event a day halfway through my trip can I choose that day to not be part of my park pass/hopper?

    Hi Lindsey! Welcome to planDisney!

    Oh boy! You're Walt Disney World vacation will be here before you know it. A visit during the fall is the perfect time to fit in some festive activities. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a great event to attend, especially if you enjoy special character meet and greets! I hear that Jack Skellington and Sally are set to return and greet Guests visiting exclusively during this special ticketed event.

    If you decide to purchase tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you can choose to visit the Magic Kingdom on this night using your party ticket instead of your regular Park Hopper tickets. Guests can arrive as early as 4 PM on the night of the party for entry into the park. It gives you a few extra hours to enjoy before the party officially gets underway. 

    One thing you want to consider is how many regular park days your tickets are valid for. If you are there for seven days and have a six-day park ticket, there will be one day that you will naturally have available where you cannot visit the parks. However, if you have park tickets for as many days as you will be at Walt Disney World, you can still use them all during your stay. For example, you can head over to EPCOT in the morning and enjoy part of the day there before arriving at the Magic Kingdom for the Halloween Party. You'll be using a regular park ticket and a special event ticket on the same day.

    Lindsey, you'll also want to keep an eye out for available party dates. As you get closer to your arrival, this special ticketed event may begin to sell out. As soon as you know you want to attend, I highly recommend purchasing tickets at that point.

    I hope this information helps you plan for your stay! Stop back and see us again at planDisney!

    See ya real soon!
