It was similar to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in WDW, but on a smaller scale, if you are framiliar with that.

Originally Posted By Westsider You are correct. You might even say it doesn't have much to offer to even the little ones. But the word on the street was that TDA knew they were under-delivering last year on purpose just to test the market, and they plan on beefing it up a bit this year. The tickets are all snapped up literally within a day or two by AP's anyway. The average person never stood a chance of actually buying a ticket to Mickey's Halloween Treat, at least last year. It was basically a 15 dollar a ticket Annual Passholder Party themed to Halloween.

Here's hoping Halloween becomes lucrative for the park, so that they can really do it up!

Yes, it definitely had its problems, but for $15, it was a great deal. I definitely expect it to be more expensive this year, and I'm looking forward to going again, maybe for 2 nights this year. HRM - It's definitely not on the scale of Halloween Haunt and it doesn't have the same focus. It's not about scary and spooky - it's just about fun. /cs

They really liked it & had a ball going around the park getting treats. My only comment is that they should have offered more than just candy as treats. You can only handle so much candy & they gave out handfulls at each station!! We definalty thought it was well worth the $15.00.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer FYI, the special CM party called "Little Monsters" will be offered in 2006. BUT, CM's are also being allowed to buy tickets to Mickey's Halloween Treat starting today. Their price is $19 each, so I presume the full price will be about $30 to the general public, making it about $25 for AP holders.

And 5 PM for days the event starts at 6:30 PM. Note, October 24th, the park will host a CM only event, so that might have DCA also close at 5 PM that night.
