Are you ready for a Halloween experience like no other? Walt Disney World’s Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is the perfect blend of spooky fun and magical Disney charm, making it an unforgettable event for kids and adults alike. Held annually at Magic Kingdom, this special event transforms the park into a Halloween wonderland, filled with unique entertainment, special character appearances, and delicious themed treats.
Here’s what you can expect when attending this special ticketed event:
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party typically runs on select nights from August through Halloween, providing plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun. The event kicks off in the evening and runs until midnight, giving you plenty of time to explore and enjoy all the festivities.
Trick-or-Treating Fun
One of the highlights of the party is the trick-or-treating experience. Guests of all ages are invited to dress up in their favorite costumes and collect candy from various stations throughout the park. The candy is plentiful and includes a variety of popular brands, ensuring that everyone goes home with a sweet stash.
Spooky and Spectacular Entertainment
The entertainment at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is truly top-notch. Don't miss the "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade, featuring your favorite Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best, along with some rarely seen villains. The Headless Horseman’s ride down Main Street U.S.A. is also an iconic kick off to the parade.
The "Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular" is another must-see show, where the Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s "Hocus Pocus" cast a spellbinding performance, complete with appearances by other Disney villains. And, of course, the evening wouldn't be complete without the "Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular" fireworks show. This dazzling display of lights, music, and projections turns Cinderella Castle into a spooktacular centerpiece. Oh, and did we mention that the fireworks show is hosted by Jack Skellington?!
Unique Character Meet-and-Greets
During Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you’ll have the chance to meet characters that are not typically seen during regular park hours. From classic Disney villains like Maleficent and Captain Hook to rarely seen characters like Jack Skellington and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," these special meet-and-greets offer unique photo opportunities and magical interactions. You’ll also get the chance to interact with all the classic favorites like Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, etc. all dressed in their Halloween costumes for the occasion!
Themed Attractions and Overlays
Several of Magic Kingdom’s attractions get a Halloween makeover for the party. The Mad Tea Party features new lighting and music, making for a dizzyingly delightful experience. Space Mountain becomes even more thrilling with a new soundtrack and special effects, while Pirates of the Caribbean features live actors, adding a new layer of excitement to the classic ride.
Delicious Halloween Treats
Foodies will love the array of themed treats available exclusively during the party. From pumpkin-flavored goodies to spooky-themed desserts, there’s something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Menu highlights from the 2024 event included a Graveyard Milk Shake and Chipotle Barbeque and Street Corn Mini Corn Dogs.
