Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special ticketed event where guests can celebrate spooky season at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The event brings exclusive entertainment, snacks, merchandise, and experiences. With everything you can do at MNSSHP, you’d be surprised at what we think the longest line will be for this year!

During the Halloween party, Disney has rides available, exclusive merchandise, and TONS of exclusive snacks and beverages. Yet, we think the most popular and longest line to deal with will be for the exclusive popcorn buckets.

The Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket, which was previously announced to be coming to Disneyland, will also be available in Disney World at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Once you see this thing, you can imagine why we think the longest line will be for popcorn buckets. Just take a look!

That’s not all, as another popcorn bucket that is coming to the party is the Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket.

So, if the longest lines are going to be for these items, what’s the best thing you can do to maximize your time AND get your hands on these exclusive items? Our first recommendation would be grabbing them FIRST THING! Once you enter the party, we wouldn’t wait.

If you were okay with missing some entertainment, you could go during parade and fireworks showtimes since that’s where the crowds will be. Even going at the end of the night might not be the worst idea, as guests may be trying to get last-minute trick-or-treating and rides in.

You can find the popcorn buckets at carts near Cinderella Castle, and there is a limit of two per person! While not party exclusives, you can also find the Vampire Mickey Bucket or Halloween Pooh Sipper during the day. You’ll find those at snack carts around Magic Kingdom:

Adventureland snack cart near Jungle Cruise
Liberty Square snack cart near Liberty Tree Tavern
Fantasyland snack cart near Gaston’s Tavern
Frontierland snack cart near Pecos Bill’s and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
