Walt Disney World has launched pricing for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion, with a brand new file excessive as ticket costs break the $200 barrier (or actually, blow previous it) for the primary time ever. This covers the minimal and most prices, together with our commentary and date-by-date predictions as we await the discharge of tickets.

Though sticker shock is widespread with all issues Walt Disney World, this shouldn’t be shocking. Previous to this announcement, we provided the next prediction in our 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion Information: Ticket costs for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion will seemingly vary from $125 to $225 relying upon the date. It’s really troublesome to foretell costs–they skyrocketed a couple of years in the past, however haven’t gone up a lot since then regardless of all dates promoting out. So Walt Disney World may follow the present vary ($119 to $199) or blow previous it, resetting the ground and ceiling (~$150 to $250).

The latter is prone to occur sooner or later, and it will be savvy of Walt Disney World to tear off the band-aid on controversial value will increase versus incrementally over the course of some years. However I don’t know that 2025 would be the yr for a large value improve. Disney is already contending with worth notion issues, and has been discounting closely as financial uncertainty and plummeting worldwide journey take a toll on park attendance and resort occupancy.

Because it seems, we have been proper and incorrect. The very first thing we have been incorrect about was the entire notion of financial uncertainty, a downturn in worldwide journey, and even Epic Universe’s opening impacting Walt Disney World. There are simply no indicators in any way that any of that’s occurring, as defined in Walt Disney World Bookings Are Up for Remainder of 2025. Because the title suggests, bookings are outpacing final yr for the third and fourth quarters (and into fiscal 2026), in keeping with Disney’s newest earnings name.

On a optimistic observe, fortunately the corporate did not reset each the ground and ceiling. As an alternative of elevating each the utmost and minimal, Walt Disney World solely touched the higher finish of the spectrum, with 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion ticket costs costing $119 to $229. Date by date costs haven’t but been launched–simply the vary. Listed here are extra pertinent timing & pricing particulars…

Nonetheless, there are a couple of different issues conclusions we are able to draw concerning the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion, and predict costs for many dates inside $10 per ticket…

The primary prediction is that the distribution of costs will skew extra in direction of the upper finish of the spectrum. This can be a fairly protected prediction as a result of it’s been true throughout the board with pricing.

Whilst Walt Disney World has preserved decrease base costs, the variety of dates obtainable on the backside of the spectrum has been shrinking. This occurred final yr with MNSSHP costs–regardless that the utmost value didn’t improve, ticket costs have been up on the entire practically 5% by advantage of fewer cheaper dates and extra dates in October costing $179 to $199.

Throughout final yr’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion, there have been solely 5 dates that value the beginning value of $119. All of them have been in August. There have been one other 7 dates that value $129 (the second-lowest value level), all of which have been within the first half of September. If I needed to guess immediately, I’d predict that there might be 4 or fewer dates costing $119, and 10 or fewer at or under $129.

For reference, listed here are final yr’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion ticket costs by date (grownup/kids):

• August 9 $149/$139
• August 13 $119/$109
• August 16 $119/$109
• August 20 $119/$109
• August 23 $119/$109
• August 27 $119/$109

• September 2 $129/$119

• September 27 $149/$139
• September 29 $149/$139
• October 1 $169/$159
• October 3 $169/$159
• October 4 $189/$179

• October 31 $199/$189

As you possibly can see, costs obtained progressively costlier deeper into celebration season, apart from the primary celebration attributable to a “blogger tax” and the October 4 and 11 events, attributable to being Fridays of fall break. If you wish to know what any date this yr will value, taking its corresponding evening final yr and including $10 is the most secure strategy. That’ll find yourself being incorrect for a lot of dates, but it surely ought to be a fairly shut approximation.

The most important exception to that rule would love be the ultimate nights. If historical past have been to repeat itself, we might anticipate to roughly see related tendencies, with the ultimate 4 events on the finish of October 2025 all costing $229 per ticket. The “roughly” a part of that’s as a result of how shortly every date bought out can be a related consideration.

Typically talking, Halloween evening virtually all the time sells out first. From there, normally cheaper dates and the primary evening promote out someday in July, with extra dates promoting out in early August. As soon as content material from the primary evening of the occasion floods social media, there’s normally a “run” on tickets for subsequent occasions–and several other extra events promote out round then.

This was true final yr, when October 31 bought out on Could 21–the earliest ever promote out!

The following date didn’t promote out till July 19, with 4 extra August dates all promoting out in July. All the most cost-effective celebration dates have been among the many first to promote out, which isn’t an enormous shock since these are additionally the occasions that happen earliest. If something, the final 2 dates in August underperformed, solely promoting out ~2 weeks prematurely of these dates.

Arguably the worst-performing dates have been the events that have been the weekend earlier than Halloween, together with the one non-school evening, all of which have been priced at $199 and none of which bought out till late September. In equity, these bought out additional prematurely than the late August and early September dates, however they have been additionally the final to promote out–that means that procrastinating locals with an absence of decisions would’ve had the choice of those dates or nothing.

That is all to say that October 31, 2025 will, indubitably, value $229 per ticket. That’s not solely Halloween evening, but it surely’s a Friday evening in 2025. It wouldn’t shock me if, even on the $30 greater value level, this nonetheless sells out in file time and is unavailable earlier than Could is over. (Not so daring prediction: no different dates promote out till no less than mid-July 2025.)

Truthfully, Walt Disney World may’ve in all probability priced October 31, 2025 at $250 or $275 and nonetheless had no points promoting out. The larger drawback would’ve been notion through articles like this one, social media complaints, and so on. (That’s arguably why Walt Disney World hasn’t been extra aggressive with MNSSHP and MVMCP value will increase, regardless of demand very clearly supporting greater ticket prices.)

In some unspecified time in the future, I wouldn’t be stunned to see Walt Disney World make Halloween evening its personal separate factor, charging $300 or no matter, but additionally making that occasion distinctive indirectly in order to be excluded from the pricing chart. However that isn’t what’s occurring this yr, so it’s a bit inappropriate.

What I additionally wouldn’t be stunned to see occur is different dates in late October 2025 not break the $200 barrier.

Possibly that stretch will development the identical manner as final yr, with the ultimate 4 events all costing the identical value. However given how sluggish these different dates bought as contrasted with October 31–which is now a Friday this yr–I wouldn’t be stunned if Disney desires to provide it time earlier than breaking the $200 barrier with extra dates.

In the event that they do value the October 24, 26, 28, 30 events at $229, then I additionally wouldn’t be stunned to see a number of of these dates not promote out. That’s a daring guess, and it’d be the primary time since 2019 that each date of a Halloween celebration didn’t promote out. Given how a lot phrase of mouth and FOMO are drivers of gross sales for Walt Disney World, that might not be a bet they’re prepared to take.

Even so, you possibly can anticipate to pay extra for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion tickets in 2025 vs. 2024. The bottom price is unchanged, that means no less than a few of these August dates may have similar year-over-year pricing and not value $10 greater than final yr.

Nonetheless, Walt Disney World is extraordinarily ‘environment friendly’ at value will increase. That means that the majority of dates in September and October will value $10 greater than final yr. No matter what occurs with the variety of $229 nights (even when it’s simply October 31 that breaks the $200 barrier!), we absolutely anticipate one other yr of 5% or better value will increase as an entire.
