It’s FINALLY here! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has kicked off, and we (especially me) couldn’t be more excited! Mickey’s Boo To You! Halloween Parade We’re live at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and we’re taking you along with us. With the party comes several changes — park hours, menu items, character meetings, and more! But we’re here to talk about the attraction changes because some do receive spooky overlays for the season! First, let’s talk about EVERY ride available during the party: Adventureland Pirates of the Caribbean Jungle Cruise The Magic Carpets of Aladdin Frontierland Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Liberty Square Haunted Mansion Fantasyland Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Prince Charming Regal Carrousel “it’s a small world” Peter Pan’s Flight The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Mad Tea Party Haunted Mansion Storybook Circus Dumbo the Flying Elephant The Barnstormer Tomorrowland Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Astro Orbiter Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Space Mountain Tomorrowland Speedway Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover TRON Lightcycle / Run TRON Lightcycle / Run Out of all of these attractions, THREE of them receive ride overlays — Mad Tea Party, Space Mountain, and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. Mad Tea Party Instead of the soundtrack that normally plays while guests spin to the point of nausea, a spooky soundtrack replaces it, so you can spin in style! Spooky lighting effects will also be present, making for an even scarier ride! Mad Tea Party at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Space Mountain You may think the Haunted Mansion is the spookiest ride of the night, but I beg to differ! Space Mountain plays a spooky soundtrack and turns ALL of the lights off, so you don’t even know when you’re about to turn or get a good whiplash! I don’t know what’s scarier — riding it in pitch blackness or riding it with the lights on (yes, that’s really happened to me, and it was SCARY!) Space Mountain Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Everything is better with jokes, especially when they’re on theme! All of the monsters will come out in their best Halloween spirit and put on the show we all know and love, but with a spooky twist! Yes, there will still be “that guy,” but he may be dressed as a ghost. Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Halloween Overlay It’s important to note that these overlays are ONLY available during the special-ticketed event. We hope you’re as excited as we are to experience these overlays because they’re AWESOME! Follow us at DFB for more theme park news, updates, tips, and tricks!

Who’s ready for a hauntingly great time?! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has arrived in Magic Kingdom, and we’re here to check out everything from the costumes to the entertainment to the decor and, of course, the FOOD! Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger These special event parties are offered on select nights from August 7th through October 31st, and with so much to see, eat, and experience while you’re there, we’re here to help! Which is why we had to find out if a trip to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland for these Not So Scary-exclusive treats is worth a stop! The Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger is $14.99 at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. This is an Angus beef burger with Boursin and brie fondue, crispy onions, and garlic pickles on a toasted black bun, served with French fries. Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger We had HIGH hopes for this burger, and we were NOT disappointed! The patty was your typical Cosmic Ray’s burger and was fine, if a bit well done. However, everything around it was top-notch. The bun had a nice crust on the outside, giving it a bit of a crunch, while the inside was super airy and soft, making it easy to sink your teeth into this one. Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger The Boursin and brie cheese mix was creamy and thick, and the flavors melted really well together to craft a mild and herby taste. There are also literal chunks of garlic in it, which pack a punch. The pickles had a nice acidity and dill flavor, and the garlic really comes through. They were also super fresh and crunchy, which works really well with a soft bread and adds a great textural element. The whole burger was a savory diner’s heaven, and besides the patty itself, the only thing we’d change is adding a bit more cheese. Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger The Minnie Witch Hat is $7.99, also available at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. This is a sugar cookie topped with strawberry-banana mousse, buttercream, and two chocolate discs to make 3D Minnie ears. Minnie’s Witch Hat We tried the Minnie Witch Hat in previous years, but this year has a different strawberry-banana version, even though it looks almost identical. This version of the witch hat was also a big win for us. The strawberry flavor was super subtle, while the banana was really enjoyable and unique for a party dessert. Combined, the two flavors created a sweet and light filling. Meanwhile, the outer coating with its thin layer of white chocolate was sweet yet thin, adding nicely to the mousse without overpowering it. The icing along the bottom was a nice thick buttercream that’s sugary and adds a nice density to otherwise really light dish, helping it hold up structurally. Overall, the 2026 Witch’s Hat is a unique offering, especially when compared to a lot of the chocolate desserts you’ll find at the party. Minnie’s Witch Hat We’ll be sure to keep you updated with reviews on more new Mickey’s Not So Scary treats as we try them.

One of Disney’s biggest parties of the year (yes, I’m talking about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party) is FINALLY here, and there is so much to do! From riding attractions to trying all of the themed foods to meeting all of the exclusive characters and more, there’s a lot to remember! Halloween at Disney World Luckily, we’re here to cover it ALL! Not all attractions may be open during the party, and the worst way to find out is showing up to the attraction just to find it dark and closed off with a rope. That’s why we’re telling you EVERY ride that’s open during this special-ticketed event! Adventureland In Adventureland, you’ll find three attractions open — Jungle Cruise, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates of the Caribbean during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Frontierland Two attractions will be operational in Frontierland — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Liberty Square Liberty Square is home to ONE attraction, and it might not even be the spookiest of the night — Haunted Mansion. Haunted Mansion during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Fantasyland Fantasyland is THE place to be on party nights with SEVEN attractions open — Prince Charming Regal Carousel, “it’s a small world,” Peter Pan’s Flight, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mad Tea Party, Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Mad Tea Party will also have a Halloween overlay with themed music and lights. Mad Tea Party at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Storybook Circus Both attractions in Storybook Circus — The Barnstormer and Dumbo the Flying Elephant — are open during the party. Dumbo the Flying Elephant Tomorrowland The same as Fantasyland, Tomorrowland has SEVEN attractions open — Astro Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover, and TRON Lightcycle / Run. Both Monsters, Inc.

The 2026 edition of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has arrived, and with it has come some EXCLUSIVE snacks across Magic Kingdom. The Lunching Pad Many of the park’s eateries – – ranging from table service restaurants like Be Our Guest to quick-service spots like Casey’s Corner – – are offering special seasonal offerings. That includes The Launching Pad in Tomorrowland! The Lunching Pad is always a big draw during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and this year provides a menu made up of returning favorites from years’ past, plus a BRAND NEW dessert addition! Full spread! Let’s start with the Creepy Kimchi Hot Dog for $13.99! This hot dog is topped with sriracha cream cheese, kimchi, and Hades relish. Creepy Kimchi Hot Dog We’ve tried this dog in the past, but this year we were still a bit surprised. Ours was very salty, but the kimchi had just the right amount of flavor and a medium spice level. Depending on your spice limitations, this can be a very pleasant choice. The cabbage base adds a full level of refreshment and fresh flavor, but the bright green pickle was a bit off-putting. This is a solid hot dog, but nothing to lose your mind over unless you’re really craving some spice. Look at all that green Next up, there’s the Jalapeño Popper Hot Dog for $14.99! This hot dog is topped with queso fundido, pickled and fried jalapeños, bacon, and onions. Jalapeño Popper Hot Dog Like the Creepy Kimchi dog, we’ve also had the jalapeño Popper Hot Dog before. How did the 2026 version hold up in 2026? Well, we actually preferred it of the two options! This was also salty, but that just added to the savory aspect. The onions were delicious and added a crunchy texture after the fun kick of the jalapeños on top. Keep in mind that heat builds with each bite. The only thing we wanted more of was the cream cheese flavor, otherwise we really enjoyed the hot dog. A look inside Of course, we also had to try the NEW Hades Cake Pop, which costs $6.29! This is made up of Mexican hot chocolate cake with popping candies dipped in chocolate with blue marshmallow “fire”. Hades Cake Pop We found this new dessert to be a pleasant surprise! The marshmallowy exterior that looks like Hades’ hair is loads of fun, and you get some great dark chocolate flavors with each bite. The popping candies definitely come through and provide another texture. This was a fun dessert that builds with each bite into a really awesome chocolatey crescendo. YUM Overall, the offerings at Lunching Pad may not blow you away, but we were mostly happy with what we tried and think this location is worth a visit! We’re LIVE at the FIRST Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of 2026!

Some scary good snacks are being cooked up for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! New snacks have arrived! There are tons of good eats and treats that are exclusive to the special ticketed Halloween party at Magic Kingdom this year. You’ll find different food and beverage items across the park. We stopped by Pinocchio Village Haus to try two NEW items, and we’re bringing you our full reaction. Pinocchio Village Haus has been bringing exclusive eats, treats, and drinks to many Halloween parties, and they have two new items on the spooky menu this year! The quick-service restaurant will be open until 10 PM during party nights. This year, you can enjoy two brand-new items on the menu that will only be available during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. That includes the Fra Diavolo Chicken Sandwich and the Cruella Cookie Sandwich. The menu! The first thing we grabbed was the Fra Diavolo Chicken Sandwich for $13.99. This is fried chicken breast with fra diavolo sauce, cheese, basil pesto, and arugula on a ciabatta bun, served with french fries. Fra Diavolo Chicken Sandwich This was a surprising win at the party! Before trying it, we thought it would be pretty dry and stale based on how it looked. The bread had a perfect crunch on the outside while being really soft and airy on the inside. The herbs and the Parmesan on top of the bread add a ton of flavor. The Parmesan is mild and familiar, but still tasty. Here it is! The chicken was moist and not dry at all. The breading was forgettable, but still pleasant. We wish the arugula was there a little bit more because it added a really nice light pepper flavor. The cheese and the basil pesto were almost nonexistent. A look at the chicken and toppings The main flavor is the marinara sauce, which had a slight kick to it. If you’re super spice-versed, you should not get this! It’s really subtle, and definitely Disney spicy. It surprised us, so it might surprise some other people. The sauce was fresh and has a really nice balance of sweet and acidic tones. It melts into the bread, making the bread so flavorful, even though it’s a little bit soggy. It’s not gonna knock your socks off; it’s not gonna blow your mind, but this is a good, decent-quality item that we would genuinely get again. It’s not that bad! Then we tried the Cruella Cookie Sandwich for $6.29. This is chocolate cookies filled with raspberry ganache dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles. Cruella Cookie Sandwich Ok, this cookie is what you come to Pinocchio Village Haus for! We are officially obsessed with this, and we didn’t even anticipate liking it. The cookie is a thick, almost fudgy, chocolate chip cookie. It has the nicest chewy element, but it’s not gummy, and it’s not too soft. This is so tasty! It’s almost like a brownie that’s just baked enough not to fall apart. The ganache is really interesting. We would definitely warn people that this treat will quickly get messy, especially because there’s more of the ganache underneath the cookie to hold it onto the plate. Once you pick it up, it’ll be dirty! It has such a cute design! The ganache is really silky and has a really strong sweet flavor. It tastes like a fake raspberry flavor, but not in a negative way. It’s sweet and slightly tart, which balances well with the dark chocolate. We could definitely see this being too sweet for a lot of people, but we’re really enjoying it and are pleasantly surprised. It’s moist and flavorful, but definitely messy. Give it a try! As we mentioned before, that’s not all you can get at Pinnoccio Village Haus during the party. The following are items that have returned: Undead Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Strips — with garlic-Parmesan sauce, parsley, and served with french fries. Scary Ghost Slushy — Blue raspberry slushy with marshmallow foam and a marshmallow ghost (Non-alcoholic) Phantasmal Fried Pumpkin Ravioli — served with black garlic aïoli and a side Caesar salad Undead Garlic Parmesan Chicken Strips We’re going to be trying everything that the Halloween party has to offer.

It’s finally happening! We are LIVE at the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year in Magic Kingdom, and we are seeing and doing all the things, including trick-or-treating, checking out the party-exclusive food and drinks, shopping the party-exclusive merchandise, and more. Stitch Masquerade Mash We’re also checking out the entertainment at the party, including two NEW character experiences starring two of your favorite characters EVER: Captain Jack Sparrow and Stitch. The first new experience is in Adventureland, where you can see “Spirited Swashbucklers,” including Captain Jack Sparrow. Pirate antics are AFOOT. There are three pirate shows as a part of Jack’s Buccaneer Bash, and they happen on an almost continuous rotation. Jack’s Buccaneer Bash First, we saw Captain Barbossa do a show featuring live music. This was very good and had a pretty big band. There is lots of audience participation with this one, and Captain Barbossa is there helping direct the band. Captain Barbossa Then, there was a stunt show with The Dashing Corsairs — a duo that juggles and climbs up on the ladder structure to do some incredible stunts. The Dashing Corsairs Finally, Jack and crew came out to do a pirate training with everyone, including bringing kids up to learn swordfighting. They give out candy towards the end, and the band comes out for a little song with Jack. These were really fun to watch for both kids and adults. Captain Jack Over in Tomorrowland, you can enjoy A Masquerade with Stitch. Head on over to Rockettower Plaza Stage where Stitch is hosting a masquerade party after he gets his hands on Lilo’s costume trunk. Stitch Masquerade Mash Stitch is going to try on EVERYTHING, so every time he puts on a new party, its theme changes. Hi Stitch! You can also find Angel there as well! Hi Angel! In the meantime, you can also enjoy other entertainment at the party, including the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular, a fun stage show on the Cinderella Castle Stage where the Sanderson Sisters conjure up some Disney Villains to create a potion that will cast a spell on Magic Kingdom.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party crowds! This specialty ticketed event is one of the highlights of the fall season here in Disney World, and while the event has a limited number of tickets and capacity, it doesn’t always mean low crowds.

We parked at the Transportation and Ticket Center, which is Magic Kingdom’s parking lot, before heading to the ferryboat. Even just from the security line at the TTC, we knew it was going to be busy. However, that somehow didn’t prepare us for what we would see at the front gates of Magic Kingdom. The crowds at the front The party officially starts at 7 PM, but you can enter as early as 4 PM so you can get some extra magic. Here’s a look at the lines to check in. Look at these lines The event was sold out for day one, and you could tell! So many people! There were guests EVERYWHERE! Check out the crowds We eventually grabbed our wristband, our trick-or-treat bag, a map, and we were off. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Treat Bag Once we got inside, the crowds opened up a little more, but the park was packed!

This year, the “big” candy that you get at this first stop is a full-sized Twix! This is the only spot where you’ll get a regular-sized candy instead of the mini pieces. So even if you were already in Magic Kingdom before the party started, make sure you go down Market Street! Twix The Twix flavor is Ghoulish Green, and they aren’t kidding. Take a look inside of this thing! YUM! Make sure to grab yourself a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party map. On the inside, you’ll find Halloween goodie bag icons on the park layout. Those icons tell you where you can go trick-or-treating, as well as the allergy-friendly trick-or-treat locations. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map If you’re just walking around Magic Kingdom, you’ll be able to identify trick-or-treating spots because of their inflatable markers. When you see them, hop in to grab some candy. Cast Members hand out candy ALL NIGHT, and you can go through each stop as many times as you like. You could spend hours just collecting candy if your heart desires. We want candy! For allergy-friendly snacks, you can ask for a teal coin from Cast Members at each stop to enjoy the trick-or-treating experience. At the end of the night, you can turn them in for allergy-friendly candy at Liberty Square Ticket Office and Merchant of Venus. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party map All that being said, don’t stress about looking at the party or on the map. We’re laying all the trick-or-treat spots out for you right here!

Happy Halloween, everyone! We’re at the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom, and we’re enjoying everything the party has to offer, including some spooky entertainment, special characters, trick-or-treating, and, OF COURSE, the food. Sleepy Hollow Refreshments A ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party gets you access to exclusive food and drinks that are only available at the party. Well, we’re visiting Sleepy Hollow Refreshments to check out some party-exclusive snacks, and we’re here to give you our honest review of ALL of them. You’ll find some ghoulish delights lurking at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments, including some snacks inspired by the Haunted Mansion. We’re starting with one such spooky snack, the Doom Buggy Dumplings for $PRICE, which are chicken dumplings with red miso gochujang sauce, furikake, and chili threads. Ooh, SPICY. [PHOTOS/TASTING NOTES] Not to be outdone, you can also grab the Graveyard Hot Chicken and Waffle for $PRICE made with Nashville hot chicken strips, blue cornmeal waffle, and pickle ranch. Um…pickle ranch? Okay, Disney, we see you. [PHOTOS/TASTING NOTES] We also grabbed the Hatbox Ghost Pop, which is chocolate crumbs layered with chocolate mousse and dulce de leche, topped with blue crispy pearls and a chocolate piece for $PRICE. Would Hatbox Ghost approve, though? [PHOTOS/TASTING NOTES] If you’re feeling like you need just a little extra something sweet, you can also get the Pumpkin-spiced Funnel Cake Sundae here for $PRICE. It’s a pumpkin funnel cake topped with pumpkin gelato, whipped cream, pumpkin-spiced caramel, candy pumpkins, and sprinkles. We had this last year, and let’s just say that if you love pumpkin spice, do yourself a favor and order this treat. It’s really the best of both worlds: funnel cake and pumpkin spice. Pumpkin-spiced Funnel Cake Sundae We’re not done yet, though! We’re eating and drinking our way around Disney World for the fall and Halloween season, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews.

Halloween has officially come to Disney World, and we couldn’t be more excited! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially kicked off, and with it comes a TON of new eats, drinks, merchandise, entertainment, and more at Magic Kingdom. Headless Horseman Treat There are over 50 spooky snacks at this year’s event, most of which are exclusive and only available during the party. Right now, we’re heading to Casey’s Corner to check out a new treat that’s only available during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so come along with us! We stopped by Casey’s Corner to grab the new Headless Horseman Treat for $6.99. This is a pumpkin pie tart topped with whipped cheesecake, spiced caramel panna cotta, candied pecans, and marshmallow buttercream “flames”. Headless Horseman Treat If you consider yourself a pumpkin lover, a cheesecake lover, or both, this tart is worth seeking out. The pumpkin pie filling is smooth and mousse-like, and it holds its own against the whipped cheesecake layer rather than being overpowered by it — the two flavors stay well balanced from the first bite to the last. The pumpkin filling is also spiced with a light hand; rather than leaning hard into cinnamon the way so many fall desserts do, the spice level here feels intentional and restrained, letting the pumpkin flavor come through clearly. Pumpkin fans will love! The whipped cheesecake layer is the real standout for us. It’s silky smooth with just the right amount of tang, giving it that classic cream cheese cheesecake flavor without tasting artificial or overly sweet. Underneath it all, the pâte sucrée crust is soft, tender, and delicately crumbly — it breaks apart easily with each bite rather than fighting back, which is exactly what you want from a good tart shell. Dig in! The candied pecans add a welcome crunch and a toasty, spiced contrast to all that creaminess, though our one critique is a matter of proportion rather than flavor: we found ourselves wishing for a slightly more generous scattering of pecans across the top. For fans of nutty toppings, a touch more crunch would take this treat from great to perfect. The back of the treat There are a few other party treats you can grab while you’re at Casey’s Corner! It’s worth noting that you can Mobile Order here and that could save you some time if you order ahead. Casey’s Corner Party Menu Items You can also grab the Chipotle Barbecue Pork and Street Corn French Fries at Casey’s during the party. These are French fries topped with fire-roasted corn, queso fresco, jalapeño ranch, and cilantro for $8.49. These are classic Disney fries, but the toppings take them up a notch. You also get a good topping-per-fry ratio, and honestly, these could seriously be a meal. These were good! And, don’t forget the Chipotle Barbecue Pork and Street Corn Mini Corn Dogs for $13.49. These are mini corn dogs topped with fire-roasted corn, queso fresco, jalapeño ranch, and cilantro. We didn’t love these as much as the fries, but the flavors with the topping are delicious. The pork is tender, and the queso fresco is OH, so creamy (plus you get a lot — and you know we love the cheese). Both of these snacks have a bit of spice, but trust us, it’s not overwhelming. The topping is also available on hot dogs, too! The Chipotle Barbecue Pork and Street Corn Hot Dog for $15.49 is another option that comes with the same toppings as well! mi Chipotle BBQ Pork Corn Dogs Nuggets We’ll be bringing you everything you need to know about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom this year, so make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Halloween news from Disney World and more!

What’s this? What’s this? Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is officially here, and it’s time for us to celebrate the spooky season. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special ticketed event that takes place at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom from August 7th through October 31st. The event brings exclusive entertainment, snacks, and experiences. Oh, and did we mention the party also has exclusive merchandise? As popcorn bucket lovers, you know what the first thing we did was when we entered. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has not one, but TWO exclusive popcorn buckets available for purchase, and we’re obsessed with them. The first one we’re going to show is going to be a popular buy for all you foolish mortals! Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket We sprinted to the popcorn carts near Cinderella Castle to get our hands on the exclusive Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket! The popcorn bucket features the iconic Haunted Mansion character’s face in his hatbox, which you can see through the clear window on the front side of the bucket. Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket You pop open the lid on the top to access the popcorn. It comes with a strap so that you can carry it on your shoulder, stroller, or bag. The strap is decorated with the Disney Parks logo, bats on a moon, and various Haunted Mansion icons. Popcorn goes in the top! On the back of the popcorn bucket, you’ll find the Haunted Mansion title logo. You’ll also see a lever at the base of the popcorn bucket that rotates open a door so that he becomes visible and invisible, mimicking the appearing/disappearing effect found in the attraction. The Haunted Mansion There’s also a switch at the base of the popcorn bucket that is for turning on lights and sounds! It’ll cost you $28. It lights up! The second exclusive bucket is the Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket! Of course, this features the classic Halloween character riding on the back of his black horse, pumpkin head in hand. Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket It’s a very unique popcorn bucket that doesn’t hold a lot of popcorn, but you can’t deny its cool design and detail. Just look at the pumpkin head and the horse’s face. Look at this bucket! You store the popcorn in the horse’s back, which actually makes for a cool pose when you open it up, like how it would look if the Headless Horseman was leaning back on the saddle when the horse lifts up its legs. Popcorn goes on the horse’s back The strap for the popcorn bucket has the character on it as well as jack-o-lanterns and smoke. This one is $30. The strap on the bucket! If you’re looking for something a little less scary, you’ll also be able to pick up a Vampire Mickey Bucket during the day (meaning it isn’t a party exclusive). You’ll find those at snack carts around Magic Kingdom: Adventureland snack cart near Jungle Cruise Liberty Square snack cart near Liberty Tree Tavern Fantasyland snack cart near Gaston’s Tavern Frontierland snack cart near Pecos Bill’s and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad You’ll also find this item at popcorn carts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. Vampire Mickey Mouse Bucket Oh, and the Halloween Pooh Sipper is available at Pinocchio Village Haus at Magic Kingdom and select locations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. The most adorable thing I’ve ever seen As for the Hatbox Ghost and Headless Horseman popcorn, those are party-exclusive items ONLY! Who wants popcorn?

Tonight’s the night! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is officially BACK, and we’re here to bring you all the details as the very first party of the season kicks off. Treat bag! Before you head in for candy, characters, and (Not-So-Scary) frights, there’s one decision you’ll need to make early on that can seriously affect how you spend your first hour of the party — so let’s talk about it. The party begins at 7 PM, but party guests can enter Magic Kingdom at 4 PM if you just have a party ticket. If you’re a daytime guest already in Magic Kingdom and are staying for the party, you’ll start your night off differently. If you’re planning to be in the park before the Halloween Party starts, you’ve got a choice to make about when and where to pick up your party wristband. You can grab it at the official party entrance out front when the party begins, or you can pick it up at various locations inside the park while you’re already there for regular park hours. Sounds simple enough — but there’s a catch. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map! We tested out the inside-the-park pickup option today, and the line was long. Like, really long — it stretched all the way around to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, snaking through the old switchbacks from Stitch’s Great Escape queue. Cast Members were posted throughout the line letting guests know how the process would work, and there was signage set up to help keep things moving as efficiently as possible. Even so, it still took about 20 minutes to get through. The line! Knowing what we know now, we would have waited to get our wristband out front at the party entrance instead of tackling that line mid-day. So, Should You Wait Inside or Head Out Front? Here’s our advice: if you’re inside the park before the party and you’re not planning to rush for a popcorn bucket or get in line early for a specific character like Jack or Sally, it’s probably better to hold off on grabbing your wristband right when inside pickup opens. Instead, wait until closer to party start time, after the initial rush has died down. You’ll likely spend a lot less time standing in a switchback line and a lot more time actually enjoying the party. Our Wristband You’ll Also Miss Out on the Fun at the Front Entrance There’s another big reason to consider heading to the official party entrance instead: it is a really good time this year. Instead of the usual DJ dance party, guests are welcomed by Lockwood, the Chief Steward of the Haunted Mansion, who greets everyone with funny, ghostly one-liners as they walk through. It’s a great way to kick off the night. Lockwood, the Chief Steward of the Haunted Mansion Once you’re through the entrance, you’ll get your treat bag — prestocked with Twix this year — and there’s a photo opportunity set up with two of the Boo to You grave diggers. If you pick up your wristband inside the park ahead of time, you’ll miss this entrance experience entirely, since it’s only happening at the front gate as the party kicks off. You won’t want to miss this! Tonight marks the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the season, and we’re on-site soaking up every detail so you don’t have to guess what’s waiting for you. Stick with DFB as we continue reporting live from the party — we’ll keep bringing you the latest on food, characters, and everything else Not-So-Scary as the season rolls on!

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake, spooks come out for a swinging wake… Party map and Treat bag! That song can only mean one thing: it’s time for Halloween! It’s officially Halloween season at Disney World, and that means Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back. We’re live at the very first party of the year, so grab your candy buckets and costume and let’s get spooky. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event that runs on select nights in Magic Kingdom from now till October 31st. The party runs from 7 PM till midnight, but you can enter the park starting at 4 PM to enjoy some time in Magic Kingdom before it closes to the public for the party. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party! For 2026, tickets range from $119 to $229, plus tax, depending on what date you choose to attend. Typically, the dates closer to Halloween are more expensive. Your ticket gets you access to rides, entertainment, food, and more. Certain dates are known to sell out, so make sure you grab your tickets sooner rather than later! Getting Started Since you can get in at 4 PM for some extra time, we got there early, along with a lot of other guests. We parked at the Transportation & Ticket Center before we hopped on the ferryboat over to Magic Kingdom. Transportation and Ticket Center Once you scan in, you get a wristband that separates you from the other day guests. If you’re already in Magic Kingdom, there are a few different stops inside where you can get your wristband without having to leave the park. You can grab them at the Wristband Distribution stands. Our Wristband Crowds If there’s one thing we know about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it’s going to be busy! There was a bit of a crowd waiting to scan into the parks. Crowds at entrance While it may be Halloween time, it’s still super hot out in Florida, so you might be standing in direct heat for a while. Don’t forget the sunscreen, hats, and anything else you need to cool down. crowds waiting to get in Once inside, the crowds funnel to the right where you’ll pick up your treat bag! Crowds heading to Not-So-Scary! The Map After you scan in and get your wristband, you can pick up a special map, which will tell you everything you need to know. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map! It has showtimes, trick-or-treat locations, character meet-and-greets, snack spots, and more! It’s also an amazing keepsake for your super fun night. Full Map! You can also find information in the My Disney Experience app, but we like having a physical copy, too. See the FULL 2026 Party Map Here! Trick-or-Treating When you enter, you’ll also get a reusable treat bag! You might want to bring a bigger bag to grab candy because Disney likes to give you massive scoops of candy, but there are other keepsakes you get to enjoy. Here’s a look at the front side… Treat bag! …and what the back looks like this year. Boo to You! They’ll also give you your first bit of candy for the night. This year it was Twix. Twix If you have food allergies, don’t worry, you aren’t forgotten about. You’ll get a special bag and can still trick-or-treat throughout the night. Instead of picking up candy, you’ll grab tokens at each stop and exchange them for special treats at the end of the night. You can find all of the candy stops on the map, but you can also look for the big blow-up signs marking the candy spots. Halloween at Disney World Characters When we grabbed our map and candy bag, there were some characters greeting us! Lockwood, the Chief Steward of the Haunted Mansion. He’s was welcoming guests with funny ghosty things as you walk in! Lockwood, the Chief Steward of the Haunted Mansion One of the most popular meet-and-greets is Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. If you’re planning on meeting them, you should plan to get there early and expect a long wait. Most of the time, the line opens early so people can start to line up before the party starts, so if you know meeting them is on your list, make sure you’re prepared to wait. Jack and Sally We love this time of year, and we’re so excited it’s spooly season in Disney World.

Let’s see how these purple Disney World snacks stack up! Ube Yum Yum Coconut Cookie We’re constantly checking in with our favorite snacks around Disney World, from our top picks by park to Dole Whip power rankings. If you’re on the hunt for a purple treat to beautify your Instagram feed, today’s snack round-up is for you! Let’s take a look at six purple snacks we recently tried in Disney World — including our FAVORITE of the bunch, which also happens to be the cheapest! Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich We recently headed to the newly reopened Garden View Lounge — Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort to check out everything this swanky experience has to offer. The tea experience is pretty pricey at $79 per adult or $49 per child, and it comes with a selection of small bites all themed to Alice in Wonderland. There are some seriously eye-catching eats included, like the Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich, which is a traditional egg salad on beet bread with a vibrant magenta color! Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich Even though we enjoyed lots of the other small bites, the Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich honestly wasn’t our favorite. It had a hint of sweetness from the beet bread and was served with crumbled bacon, which added a nice saltiness, but we weren’t wowed by the flavor overall and thought the cute presentation was the best part. Afternoon Tea Tower Basically, if you’re already interested in checking out the Garden View Lounge Tea Experience, the Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich is worth sampling along with the other selection of foods, but we wouldn’t call this purple snack destination-worthy in itself, especially considering the cost! Blueberry Lemonade Cake Slice If you’ve been following us for awhile, you’ve probably heard about our love of Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs for their incredible (and MASSIVE) cookies and cake slices! On top of their regular menu, Gideon’s also releases limited-time flavors that rotate monthly, one of which was the Blueberry Lemonade Cake Slice. Blueberry Lemonade Cake This beauty is a lemon curd swirl cake with fresh blueberry jam, graham cracker crust crumble, and a vibrant blueberry buttercream — and there’s no food coloring in it, so that gorgeous purple color is all-natural! We absolutely loved the flavor combination here and the texture was perfectly moist and fresh. Look at the fluffiness! Plus, at $11, it was actually a pretty reasonable price for such a HUGE slice of cake! Unfortunately, since this was a seasonal flavor, it was only available on Wednesdays and Saturdays in May this year. But Gideon’s regularly brings back their limited-time flavors in following years, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that this one will return again! Star Command Popcorn This year, we’ve seen lots of Toy Story 5-inspired treats around the Disney parks in celebration of the movie’s release! There were a few purple snacks included in the list, like the Star Command Popcorn that we grabbed at Market and Popcorn & Snacks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for $9.49. Star Command Popcorn It’s a pre-packaged kettle corn mix with green apple and grape flavors. The purple popcorn had a mild artificial grape flavor that reminded us of sweet candy. The green pieces were more sweet than sour, with some tartness showing up in the aftertaste. Overall, the general sweet kettle corn flavor was more powerful than the fruity flavors, though. Star Command Popcorn This was a solid on-the-go snack for fans of kettle corn, and even though it might not have been at the very top of our list of favorite purple treats, we definitely weren’t mad about it! Zurg Overlord Shake Speaking of Toy Story 5 treats, we also snagged the Zurg Overlord Shake from Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Magic Kingdom for $9.29. It’s a vanilla shake with cherry coating, purple marshmallow-flavored whipped cream, sprinkles, and a Zurg-themed chocolate piece. Zurg Overload Shake The vanilla shake was exactly the classic flavor you’d expect. The coating didn’t crack enough to combine with the shake, and when we had a bite, it was mostly flavorless. But that purple marshmallow whipped cream was actually the star of the show – it was both flavorful and gave the shake a fun appearance! Motonnui Ube Sundae Another recent movie release that got its own selection of celebratory snacks is the live-action Moana. We tried the Motonnui Ube Sundae from Anandapur Ice Cream Truck in Animal Kingdom for $7.29, and it was definitely one of our favorite purple snacks of the year! Motonui Ube Sundae It’s made with ube soft-serve topped with tropical fruits, coconut, raspberry crumbs, and macadamia, and we loved how unique the flavor and texture combo was! The ice cream was super smooth and had an incredibly deep flavor, and both the firm fruit and slightly crunchy coconut added a lovely mix of textures. Gorgeous and delicious If you’re looking for a purple treat that’s gorgeous, tasty, AND unique, this one checks all the boxes! Ube Yum Yum Coconut Cookie We’ve been impressed with most of the cookies we’ve tried at Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs, and the Ube Yum Yum Coconut Cookie was no exception! It’s a vibrant take on the classic sweet treat that’s just as delicious as it is eye-catching! Ube Yum Yum Coconut Cookie This is certainly no ordinary cookie — it’s packed with bright purple hues that hint at the tropical flavors inside, and its soft, chewy texture makes it feel a little extra special for an on-the-go indulgence. The subtle, earthy sweetness of ube pairs beautifully with the rich, toasty notes of coconut. It’s not overly sweet, and the coconut adds a bit of tropical crunch that gives the cookie a nice balance of texture and flavor. Ube Yum Yum Coconut Cookie And to make it even better, at $5.79, it’s actually the cheapest purple snack on our list! Talk about a win-win!

POPCORN BUCKET ALERT! A new popcorn bucket has arrived on the scene! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially started in Magic Kingdom, and while that means tons of special snacks, candy, entertainment, and fireworks, it also means a new popcorn bucket. Two of the popcorn buckets this year are part of the special souvenirs that are only available during the event, but there are also two new additions that you can get all throughout the season. When it comes to party-specific popcorn buckets and, lines can get long, so you’ll want to get there early. The buckets are also known to sell out, so if it’s something you can’t live without, earlier is better. Sometimes, we see these buckets being released to the public outside of the party closer to Halloween, but it’s not something guaranteed. The best way to get your hands on it is to have a party ticket. This year, the two popcorn buckets available exclusively during the party are the Hatbox Ghost Bucket and Headless Horseman Bucket, both available at various popcorn stands around the park. ©Disney However, there are also two additions available all day throughout the season, as long as supplies last. One is the Winnie the Pooh Hunny Bee Sipper, only available at the popcorn cart near Pinocchio Village Haus. We can’t get over how absolutely adorable it is! It’ll cost you $22.99 and includes any fountain beverage of your choice at the time of purchase. Winnie the Pooh Hunny Bee Sipper You can also grab the Vampire Mickey Mouse Bucket. You can find this bucket at multiple popcorn carts throughout Magic Kingdom, and we usually grab ours by the cart to the right of Cinderella Castle. It costs $28, and it’s perfectly spooky in every way. Vampire Mickey Mouse Bucket It comes with a box of popcorn included in the price, and you’ll find that the jack-o-lantern lights up! That’s one of our favorite details, personally, and we’ve got a feeling he’ll be pretty popular. Yum! This year, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs on select nights from August 7th to October 31st, and tickets cost between $119 and $199, with more expensive nights being closer to Halloween. The party runs from 7 PM to 12 AM, but you can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 PM, which is great for getting some food and extra rides in before the special experiences start. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Last year, the popcorn bucket was dedicated to Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas! This thing was so big, and we were glad it came with a carrying strap because we’re not sure how we would have carried it the whole night.

Universal Orlando opened Epic Universe in May 2025, and we’re already seeing plans for future updates to the park! Epic Universe! Construction is underway in plots of land adjacent to the park where expansions can go, and we’ve spotted several permits filed so far that hint at future attractions and offerings. But now, there’s a new patent that could reveal even more details. The patent was original filed by Universal back in 2023, but was recently approved. The design is for “propulsion for an amusement park ride” and shows figures of a new type of ride vehicle. ©Universal The figures showcase a two-person vehicle with what appears to be a steering apparatus in the middle. It’s propelled by two different fluids that surround the vehicle at the base. There are two different models in the patent — one where the fluid around the vehicle is held in a curved shape, and one where it’s more free-flowing. ©Universal There’s also a model that appears to show the path this ride vehicle would take, featuring a “station” (possibly a spot to board the ride) and two rounded rectangular paths. One figure in the patent shows the ride vehicle’s ability to go up a hill, so it’s possible that one of the rectangular paths in this diagram is located above the other. ©Universal The patent explains how the ride vehicle would work in a flow chart, noting that the system is built with a trough base and vehicles are propelled above the floor using fluids. ©Universal We’ll be on the lookout for Universal to use this patent in any future attractions. We know that there’s more for Epic Universe on the horizon, so could it be for a new ride there? Or perhaps a new ride at one of Universal’s other parks? We’ll let you know as soon as Universal makes any announcements. What Is Coming to Epic Universe? See an Important Permit Here!

If you’ve been a fan of DFB for a while, you know we love a themed treat! Queen of Hearts Tart We’re all about the seasonal snacks in Disney World with fun character, movie, or attraction themes, and now that Halloween has kicked off in Magic Kingdom, we’re trying a BUNCH of new treats. For this one, let’s head on over to one of our favorite snack stands in the park… Cheshire Café! We’re stopping by Cheshire Café in Fantasyland to grab the Queen of Hearts Tart for $5.79. This snack is only available during regular park hours of Halloween season, as Cheshire Café is closed during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Queen of Hearts Tart This is a cute little tart with artwork of the Queen of Hearts on top, made to look like a playing card! It’s filled with sour cherry pie filling so we’re hoping it has a little bit of punch to it. Let’s try it out! Queen of Hearts Tart The tart dough tasted ultra-sweet like a sugar cookie, but it was flaky and crumbly like pie crust. The cherry filling was slightly sour, but not enough to balance out the tart dough, so this tart is still very sweet. The Queen of Hearts decoration on top was made of edible paper that tasted really artificial, but after we peeled it off, it became a solid fall snack! The inside! If you’re coming to Magic Kingdom soon, you might want to check this out if that sounds like your vibe! We’ll be trying more treats around the park as Halloween kicks off, so follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter for updates. See Reviews of All the Halloween Treats Here!

If you have been online in the past few days, then we’re sure you have seen the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party rumors. Cast Members at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Information has been spreading that the beloved Cast Member costumes are changing, and now that opening night of the Party has arrived, it’s time to see if the rumors are true… In case you missed it, the rumors circulating suggested that the iconic neon green costumes with orange gingham and purple bats would be leaving the party in favor of a much more basic outfit. It’s safe to say that as soon as this rumor surfaced, Disney fans were immediately outraged. We love Cast Members! These outfits have become an iconic staple of the event and are a fan-favorite part of the Party for guests. The rumor online shared that these new Cast Member costumes had been posted on the Hub, a Cast Member-only system. You can see the rumored new costumes here. @partofbrookesworld on Instagram However, there has been much speculation back and forth on whether or not the rumors were true. And now it’s time to know: when we visited the Halloween Party today, we saw that the rumors are TRUE. The Cast Member costumes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have officially changed. A look at the new costumes! However, we will say that we personally think the costumes are way cuter in person than they appeared on the leaked photo. Not only that, but we spoke to a few Cast Members about their thoughts, and the overwhelming consensus is that these are so light and so comfortable, and they do have some options like the bat bowtie. A lot of the girls are wearing headbands that have the bat, or using them in their hair. Cast Members were telling us that they’re very breathable and they’re so much happier in these costumes than the previous cute, but very warm, dresses. Happy Cast Members are VERY important, so while we already miss the bright, fun designs of the previous outfits, we’re thrilled that most Cast Members are feeling much better. Cast Members also confirmed with us that the costumes do NOT glow in the dark, and a few of them are disappointed that they don’t. Another version of the new costumes Other than all this costume craziness, there is so much fun to be found at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including special Halloween entertainment, like the Boo To You Parade. There is also exclusive food, trick-or-treating, special character appearances, and so much more! Mickey’s Boo To You! Halloween Parade It really is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the Halloween season. This year, the event runs select nights from August 7th through October 31st. We cannot wait to experience the rest of the spooky fun the party has in store this year!
