Which Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party date should I choose?
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party has grown tremendously in popularity over the last couple of years. In previous years Halloween night would sell out in advance and perhaps one or two other dates.
In 2013 eight different hard ticket Halloween Parties sold out at the Magic Kingdom. Most were on Thursdays and Fridays in October and only one date in late September sold out. Here’s chart of sell outs from 2013. I’ll begin tracking them again this year for the 2014 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

I’ve received a number of questions regarding which day of the week is best to attend on of the parties. If possible during your trip, you might consider attending on a Tuesday night. They tend to have the lowest attendance. Fridays in October are typically the worst days to attend a party in terms of crowds. These are the dates that I would choose in the order of preference.

Hi! Would we be able to reserve advance FP+ for use from 4-7 (the time we get early admission into MNSSHP) if we only have this event ticket linked on our account and no MK ticket? Just planning on going in at 4 and wanted to know if I can reserve a FP+ still. Thanks!

You should be able to reserve FP as long as your MNSSHP ticket is linked to your account.

Looking decent since the other two are already sold out. People will begin backing up to find a date that week

We could do any of the parties from Oct 24-31. We were planning on Tues the 28th because everything I've read said Tuesday is the best day to go. But your list shows it being worse than Friday, Sunday and Thursday nights. Should we switch to one of those?

Tuesday October 28 sold out last year. Friday the 24th would be a better choice IMO

Great info! Are sold out nights too busy to enjoy? I am planning on the 28th but maybe it's not worth it ?

No, you'll just need a good plan to see the characters you want and arrive earlier for the parade time.
