Tickets for the very popular Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) started today (May 15th, 2024) for this year's festivities. I've updated our "Days, Dates, and Prices" page with all the information for adult, children and annual passholder prices. Click here to jump over to that MNSSHP Prices and Dates page. I cover MNSSHP because there is a large food component to the festival, but we don't have menus for that yet. I suspect the menu will be posted anytime between now and the next couple of ...
