If you were feeling a little sticker-shocked by the price of 2022 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets, you weren’t alone! While we are all excited for the party to return in full force, let’s look at the pricing compared to years past.
2019 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets
The most recent year Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was offered at Magic Kingdom, 2019, was a unique year.
In 2019 the cheapest single dates for the party came in at just $79 per person, while the most expensive, such as tickets for Halloween night, cost $109 per person.
2021 Boo Bash Tickets
While no ticketed Halloween offering occurred in 2020, we did get a Halloween-themed after-hours event in 2021.
Typically, after-hours events at Walt Disney World have been shorter than parties. After-hours events also boast low attraction wait times and much lower attendance than a typical Magic Kingdom party. Additionally, after-hours events tend to have less in the way of entertainment but more in the form of free food and beverages when compared to a party.
Finally, after-hours events tend to be more expensive than Halloween and Christmas parties at Magic Kingdom.
In 2021, Boo Bash tickets ranged from $129-$199. As a comparison, After-hours events announced for 2020 before the Covid-19 closure were $129.
2022 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets
Now Disney Parks has announced that they will once again offer Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2022. Prices range from $109-$199.
We see a significant increase when we compare 2019 and 2022 prices. On the cheapest night, a party ticket will cost you an additional 38% this year over 2019 ($79 and $109, respectively). For a ticket on October 31, your price increase is 47% ($135 and $199, respectively).
Compared with last year’s ticket prices, the difference isn’t so stark. For the priciest night, Halloween Night, the party is priced identically to Boo Bash in 2021. On the cheapest nights, a $109 ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is around 18% cheaper than a Boo Bash ticket. Whether the value of these two events is comparable remains to be seen.
What Would We Expect the Increase to Be?
Had everything been “normal” and 2020 and 2021 had offered regular Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties, what would we have expected to see in terms of price increases?
The percentage increases are date-specific, and that’s important to keep in mind when comparing years. We are also trying to compare tickets from 2022 to tickets from 3 years ago.
So, let’s try to compare the increase between this party and the last party by comparing the percent increase between 2016 and 2019.
Between the years 2016 and 2019, the cheapest party ticket only increased by about 10% from $72 to $79.
During that same three-year period, the price of an October 31 ticket jumped almost 29% from $105 to $135.
If we expected those 2016-2019 rates of increase, the prices for the 2022 party would range from about $87-$174. They are instead $109-$199. Therefore, they definitely have increased more than we would have reasonably anticipated based on the history of the event.
