Seventeen of the thirty-eight Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights for 2026 are sold out. Seven of those disappeared in the fourteen days between August 6 and August 20 — roughly one every two days.
This post isn't a review of the party. It's the list: every night still available, what each one costs, and what the numbers actually mean for your decision.
The short version. The cheapest night still on the board is August 25 at $144. The most expensive is $224. Between those two tickets there is no difference in the event — same parade, same fireworks, same stage shows, same trick-or-treat trails, same five hours. For a family of four, picking the wrong end of that range costs $320.
What's already gone
Sold out as of August 22, 2026:
- August: 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 23
- September: 4, 8, 11, 18
- October: 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 29, 31
October 31 went first, on May 12 — the same day general public sales opened, gone before 9:00 AM, despite being the most expensive night of the season at $229. The August dates followed through July. Then seven more nights sold out in the two weeks ending August 20.
Last year, every 2025 party date had sold out by September 24. 2026 is running ahead of that pace.

Four things in that list that change a decision
1. The floor moved $25. The season was advertised "from $119." There were exactly two $119 nights — August 11 and August 14 — and both sold out in late June and early July. The cheapest ticket you can buy today is $144. That's $25 above the advertised floor, or 21% higher.
2. Four nights under $150 remain in the entire season. August 25 ($144), August 28 ($149), August 30 ($149), and September 1 ($149). After September 1, the cheapest ticket anywhere on the calendar is September 13 at $159. If price is your deciding factor, your window is measured in days.
3. October has a hole in it. With October 8 ($204) and October 15 ($214) both sold out in the August 20 wave, there is nothing available in October between $199 and $219. Miss October 1, 2, or 4 and your entry price for the month jumps to $219 and stays there.
4. The Passholder discount only helps where you don't need it. Annual Passholders and DVC Members save $10 per ticket on select dates through October 2 — which means every discounted night is already one of the inexpensive ones. There is no discount on any $219 or $224 night. It widens the gap rather than closing it.
The family-of-four math
All figures before tax:
- August 25: $144 x 4 = $576
- September 13: $159 x 4 = $636
- October 23: $224 x 4 = $896
August 25 versus October 23: $896 − $576 = $320. With the Passholder discount on August 25 ($134 x 4 = $536): $360.
Same parade. Same fireworks. Same five hours.
Is the party actually worth it?
Here's the comparison most Disney coverage skips.
Your ticket admits you at 4:00 PM and the party runs to midnight — eight hours of park access. So August 25 works out to $144 ÷ 8 = $18.00 per hour, and October 23 to $224 ÷ 8 = $28.00 per hour.
A regular one-day Magic Kingdom ticket in 2026 runs $139 to $209, and August and September are the cheapest dates on that calendar too. So on August 25, the party costs about five dollars more than a regular day.
But a regular park day is roughly thirteen hours: $139 ÷ 13 = $10.69 per hour. Measured purely in hours at the gate, the regular ticket wins, and it isn't close.
The party's eight hours are structurally different, though. The park closes to day guests at 6:00 PM, and you get a parade, a fireworks show, and stage shows that don't run on a regular night, plus unlimited trick-or-treat trails.
Our honest read: the party is not cheaper and it is not better value per hour. It's a different product at a similar price. If you want ride count, buy the day ticket. If you want a low-crowd evening with entertainment you can't get any other way, buy the party. Anyone selling it to you as a money hack is selling you something.
One number we won't state as fact: party attendance is widely quoted around 30,000–35,000 guests versus 80,000-plus on a busy day. Disney doesn't publish attendance caps and we couldn't verify those figures to a primary source. Treat them as estimates.
Does a sold-out party mean crowded parks?
No — and this trips up a lot of people. The two weeks around the sold-out mid-August dates are among the lowest-crowd weeks of the entire year at Walt Disney World. Hard-ticket events run on a completely separate demand curve from daily attendance. The cheap nights sell out first because Central Florida locals hunt the price floor and will trade August heat for $100 off a ticket. That's the whole mechanism.
It's the same reason a fully booked resort doesn't indicate a busy park.
FAQ
What's the cheapest Halloween party night still available in 2026?August 25, at $144. It's the last night below $149.
How many nights are sold out?Seventeen of thirty-eight, as of August 22, 2026.
Will Disney add more party nights?Disney has not added nights mid-season in recent years. The realistic outcomes are that a night stays available or it sells out. Waiting has no upside.
Do I need a separate park ticket for the party?No. The event ticket is date-specific and doesn't require a theme park ticket or a park reservation. You're admitted from 4:00 PM.
Is the Passholder discount available in late October?No. It runs on select dates through October 2 only.
Should I buy a park ticket for the same day as my party?Usually not. You're already admitted at 4:00 PM, and the park closes to day guests at 6:00 PM — so you'd be paying twice for the same afternoon.
