Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an after-hours, separately ticketed Halloween party held at the Magic Kingdom during the Halloween season at the Walt Disney World Resort. It includes many special offerings, including exclusive entertainment, Halloween-themed food and beverages, photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and character greetings.
For the party, guests are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and gather candy just as one would expect from classic Halloween celebrations.

Guests can enter the party as early as 4:00 PM, before the party kicks off at 7:00 PM. This means that guests can enjoy 8 hours in the Magic Kingdom on the night of their party!

2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Entertainment
There is new and returning entertainment being offered this year for the Halloween party. One of the new offerings this year is a dance party that is hosted by Stitch at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. With the help of Lilo and Angel, this will bring Tomorrowland to life at night. After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, Stitch discovers that every accessory he tries on sparks a theme swap and keeps the party playfully unpredictable throughout the night.
Returning entertainment will include offerings like the Cadaver Dans. They will return to offer some happy haunts for guests of the party.

Trick-or-Treating
Throughout the party, there are plenty of opportunities for trick-or-treating. There are over a dozen opportunities to find and collect candy throughout the park. These destinations can be found on the party map. This year, Disney is promising that guests can expect even more fun than ever, with some familiar faces surprising guests along the trails.
As guests stop at each trick-or-treat station, cast members will be handing out Mars Wrigley candy that includes favorites like M&Ms, Snickers, and Starburst. There will also be complimentary treat bags for candy collections. Best of all, they are also given to adults! After all, everyone is a child at heart at Disney and should get to trick-or-treat, right?
Trick-or-treaters don’t need to have costumes to get their candy, but they are encouraged! Check out the official costume guidelines and get BOOtiful costume tips from planDisney before the party to get the best experience!
Characters
There will be many characters to meet at exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities throughout the night at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This includes Sally and Jack Skellington! In Town Square, Mickey and Minnie will be meeting with guests together in their Halloween costumes. Pooh will also be on hand in his bumblebee costume. There will also be some royal couples to be found during the night, perhaps Ariel and Eric or Aladdin and Jasmine!
At a later date, closer to the party, a complete guide will be released with a list of characters that can be met. Daps Magic will post this, along with other important details that remain to be released about the Halloween celebrations!
Disney has also teased that some new and returning Disney Villains could be appearing this year for the Halloween party!
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade will be back this year! This will be packed with tons of Halloween fun! Mickey and Minnie will be wearing their cute Halloween costumes with a bunch of friends as they lead a parade of waltzing ghosts, Disney Princesses, and treacherous villains. Just as in previous years, Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade will be taking place at 8:15 PM to allow young ones to enjoy the celebration.
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
The Sanderson Sisters are again taking the stage in front of Cinderella Castle. This fan-favorite show is spectacular as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary try their haphazard best to cast a spell. The three of them need a little help from their friends, however. Of course, these are some of the most nefarious Disney Villains. This includes Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen. Together, with the help of guests, ingredients will be added to the cauldron with a lot of singing and clapping along!
Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular
There is a spectacular story time offered during this Halloween party. Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King himself, transforms Cinderella Castle into a haunted house. During this show, Zero leads Mickey and Friends inside, where spiderwebs, skeletons, and even Grim Grinning Ghosts await!
Throughout the show, incredible projects will transform the castle into a spooky fantasy as the sky comes to life with fireworks. During the course of this show, be ready for some favorite Disney villains to appear. This includes The Queen of Hearts and Oogie Boogie! The question is: will Mickey and Friends make it out of Jack’s haunted house in time?
Merchandise, Food, and More!
There will be exclusive merchandise, food, and more offered during the 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. While all of the details haven’t been released yet, they will be as the party dates get closer! Guests will be able to enjoy savory foods, sweet treats, and screamingly good snacks.
