Talking Mickey to go Silent in May; Not-So-Scar Halloween Party Starting Earlier Than Ever in August

Talking Mickey at Magic Kingdom to go Silent in May:


It looks like Mickey is going silent according to reports today. The meet and greet inside Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom debuted back in 2013. It is rumored but likely confirmed by sources that handle the offering that Mickey will officially stop talking with guests on May 12, 2018. 

There have been a variety of rumors of why Mickey is going silent, one being it was confusing guests that he was the only talking Mickey of all the meet & greets at Walt Disney World. Another one was how expensive it was compared to the other entertainer contracts it took to do this offering. 

Of course Mickey will continue meeting with guests beyond this date, but will no longer be communicating with them.

Could Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to Start Earlier Than Ever in August?:


Last year, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party began for the first time ever in August when the first party kicked off on August 31. This year according to internal park hours it looks like the party will begin even earlier with the first party on August 17. This is the first date that appears with a park closing at 6 p.m.

Magic Kingdom started closing for non-party guests last year at 6 p.m. instead of the usual 7 p.m. that it had closed years before. Other rumored party dates for August with the park closing at 6 p.m. are August 21, 24, 28, and 31. 

These are not official dates as of yet as Disney hasn't announced dates for the parties yet. Hours for September are available as well but not October as of yet.
