What is it?

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an after-hours event that takes place on select nights in Magic Kingdom during the Halloween season. It is an extra cost, but you don’t have to purchase a regular park ticket to be eligible to purchase a party ticket — in fact, many times we recommend ONLY purchasing a party ticket, since you can enter the park as early as 4 PM before the party officially begins.

Jack and Sally!

You’ll get to snack on tons of exclusive party eats and drinks, meet some of your favorite rare characters, see a fantastic Halloween parade that only happens during the party, see specialty entertainment shows (including fireworks), and so much more! For Halloween lovers who don’t like things to be on the scary side, this party is a great choice to celebrate the season.

When is it Happening?

This year, you can purchase a ticket to experience Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on the following dates:

  • August 15th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 29th
  • September 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 28th, 30th
  • October 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 24th, 26th, 28th, 30th, 31st\

Hocus Pocus Stage Show

October dates are often the fastest to sell out AND are the most expensive (which we’ll get into that below), so if you’re eying those dates, you’ll want to act fast when tickets go on sale starting on May 15th for Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green. All other guests can purchase tickets beginning on May 22nd.

How Much Does it Cost?

Unfortunately, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets have seen a price increase this year. The price varies depending on what date you choose (weekend days and dates closer to Halloween are often more expensive), but they’ll range from $119 to $229 per ticket, plus tax this year.

While Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket, this discount is only valid for select dates in August and September, which is something to keep in mind if you want to take advantage of that discount while booking.

Who Can I Meet?

While we’re still waiting on a list of all the meet and greets you’ll be able to experience, we know for sure that:

  • Jack and Sally will be meeting at “one of the many character stops that feature exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities”
  • Mickey and Minnie will be meeting TOGETHER for the first time ever in their Halloween outfits at Tony’s Town Square Theater

In the past, we’ve also seen meet and greets with characters like:

  • The Hundred Acre Woods pals in their Halloween costumes near The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh
  • Tweedledee and Tweedledum AND Alice and The Queen of Hearts near Mad Tea Party
  • Villains like The Evil Queen and Maleficent in Princess Fairytale Hall

Disney has also said to “keep your eyes peeled because you may see new and returning Disney Villains appear as you creep by through the streets.” Potential roaming characters? Count us IN, Disney!

Tell Me About That Special Food!

While we’re still waiting for full menus to be released for this event, we do have a sneak peek at some of the snacks you’ll be able to try during this special event! You’ll be able to try:

We’re looking forward to getting the full list of new snacks and drinks we’ll be able to try, so stay tuned!

What Else is There To Do?

In addition to meeting characters and snacking away, you can also experience some extra special entertainment during the event AND go trick or treating! Trick or treating will take place at a dozen different treat trail stops, and this year, Disney says “guests can expect even more fun than ever before with some familiar (and fiendish) faces” along the trails! At each stop, Cast Members give out massive handfuls of Mars Wrigley candy, like M&Ms, Snickers and Starburst, and guests with allergies can grab a teal bag and collect teal tokens at each locations to redeem for allergy-friendly treats at Allergy-Friendly Centers.

We also got confirmation about the entertainment returning to the party this year!

  • Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade returns in all its glory. Its led by Mickey and Minnie and you’ll get a chance to see waltzing ghosts, Disney Princesses and treacherous villains, as well as rare characters! The parade will take place at 8:15 PM to allow for little ones to enjoy it as well before it gets too late for them.

  • The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular returns yet again! Guests will watch as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary try their haphazard best to cast a spell after 300 years (or, at least it feels that way) since their last appearance. They’ll need some help to complete their task, so get ready to see other villains like Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen.

  • Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular takes place on Cinderella Castle later in the evening, and guests are invited to a spooky story time led by none other than the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington! His trusty sidekick Zero will lead Mickey and Friends inside, where spiderwebs, skeletons and Grim Grinning Ghosts await in a dazzling projection and fireworks show.

Get ready for some great photo ops!

Now, unfortunately PhotoPass/Memory Maker is not included with your party ticket, so you will have to purchase your photos individually or choose between a Memory Maker package to get all the photos from your party day, or your entire vacation.

What About The Merchandise?

Disney has confirmed that exclusive merchandise will be available at the event, and we’ll let you know when we see a sneak peek of that the moment we see it!
