Late-breaking news - Halloween and Christmas party dates, prices and on-sale date

As this update was going to press, MousePlanet has learned that there were solid but unconfirmed dates and prices for both Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Both parties will have more dates than ever before, will start earlier than ever before, and cost more than ever before.

Halloween party dates will be September 15, 22, 29, October 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31. The first two dates, earlier than ever before, are in addition to the dates that I had previously reported. Note that the Magic Kingdom schedule currently online at the Walt Disney World Web site still shows the park as closing at 9 p.m. and 8 p.m. on those nights, respectively. Discounted advance purchase pricing is $39.36 for adults and $31.90 for children. Advance purchase discounts are not available for October 27, 30 and 31. For those three nights, as well as all tickets bought the day of the event (if available), the pricing will be $45.75 per adult and $38.29 per child. Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can get an additional 10 percent discount on September 15 and 22, and October 16, 17, 23 and 24. Those additional discounts must be picked up at will-call and will require valid passholder or DVC member identification.

Christmas party dates will be November 13, 17, 27, 28, and 30, and December 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 21, although one source indicates that December 22 will also be a party night. The first two dates are the first time that the party has been held before Thanksgiving. Discounted advance purchase pricing is $42.55 for adults and $34.03 for children (including tax). Advance purchase discounts are not available for Friday nights in December, as well as all dates from December 18 on. For those nights, as well as all tickets bought the day of the event (if available), the pricing will be $48.94 per adult and $40.42 per child. Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can get an additional 10 percent discount on November 13, 17 and 28, and December 14. Those additional discounts must be picked up at will-call and will require valid passholder or DVC member identification.

All prices listed above include tax. Child ticket prices are for ages 3-9, adult prices for ages 10 and up.

Tickets are expected to go on sale on Monday, May 1.

I know previously there were AP discounts on some of the dates, but was there always a DVC discount as well?

The Christmas dates sound a little too early! I love the decorations and stuff but it seems everyone is starting to celebrate it earlier and earlier. The malls around here start decorating at the end of October.

That being said, I'm also a bit dissappointed LOL Since we'll be there 11/4-11/11, we'll miss both even with the extra dates. I really wish they could have expanded the MNSSHP a few days after actual Halloween night. Maybe next time :)

There haven't been any DVC discounts in the past 3 years that I am aware of so this is a nice perk.

What I want to know is it 10% off the gate price or 10% off the advanced purchase price.

In the AP sleeves it says 25% off these things. Of course I know things are subject to change but still.

At least the discount date is the one we were planning on going to.

But the added dates and higher prices just mean Disney is now seeing this as a way to get people to buy that extra hard ticket, people have been complaining how busy it keeps getting - as if there really isn't a limit on the # of tickets they sell - and how you receive less and less each year.

I am still going though.
