It’s that time of year again when the ghosts, goblins, witches and other ghoulish characters prepare for the spooky holiday of Halloween. There’s no better way to celebrate and enjoy all the fun and excitement of the season than to get tickets for this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween event.  For select nights in September and October from 7 pm to midnight the Magic Kingdom in Orlando comes alive as Disney throws an amazing Halloween extravaganza.  Adults and children of all ages will be delighted as they don their favorite costume and join in all the fun at the Magic Kingdom with fabulous experiences, attractions, decorations, live entertainment, along with costumed characters dishing out some good old-fashioned tricks and plenty of luscious treats.  Children will be able to get plenty of sweets and candies.  Tickets for this special event are limited and often sell out quickly.
