🎃✨ Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: Dates & Spooktacular Sneak Peeks! ✨🎃

As autumn approaches, the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World becomes a whimsical hub of Halloween fun and fright. Under the shimmering glow of Cinderella Castle, the park transforms into a playground of spooky delights, where enchanting tunes fade into eerie melodies, and shadows stretch as the Haunted Mansion comes alive!

If you're eager to embrace the Halloween spirit, mark your calendars for an unforgettable night filled with magical frights! Today, we're excited to reveal the dates for the 2025 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, ticket sale information, and a glimpse of what awaits at this year’s celebration.

What is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an annual ticketed event at Magic Kingdom that features exclusive entertainment, themed food and drinks, photo ops, unique merchandise, and character meet-and-greets.

Expect a family-friendly Halloween extravaganza where you can showcase your most imaginative Disney-themed costume and watch the Headless Horseman roam the streets. Collect candy at every turn, experience favorite attractions with a spooky twist, and you might even encounter a witch or two!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates

The 2025 dates for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party span from August 15 to October 31. Since the party occurs on select weekends and weekdays, be sure to check the calendar to plan your visit accordingly.

Exclusive Character Greetings 🎭

“Surprised to see me?” Guests can meet Jack Skellington and Sally at designated character stops during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. For the first time ever at Town Square Theater, Mickey and Minnie will greet guests together in their adorable Halloween costumes!

Stay tuned for updates on which other characters will be present in festive attire. Keep your eyes peeled for familiar Disney Villains appearing throughout the park!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets 🎟️

Ticket prices for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party vary by date and will go on sale starting May 15 for guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels along with Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Shades of Green. All other guests can purchase tickets beginning May 22. Since party dates often sell out quickly, it's wise to plan ahead and secure your tickets early!

Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can enjoy exclusive discounts on tickets.

Guests attending Mickey's Not-So-Scary can enter Magic Kingdom starting at 4:00 PM before the party officially begins at 7:00 PM. This gives you up to eight hours of spooky celebrations throughout the park!

Trick or Treating at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary 🍬

For many of us, Halloween means bags brimming with candy! Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the best places for trick-or-treating with over a dozen treat trail stops marked on the event map. Expect even more surprises this year as familiar (and mischievous) faces join you along the trails.

At each stop, cast members in charming Halloween costumes hand out delicious treats like M&Ms, Snickers, and Starburst. Don't worry if you forgot your pumpkin bucket; each guest will receive complimentary treat bags for collecting goodies (yes—even adults)!

Guests with food allergies can also participate in the fun! Just grab a teal bag from a Cast Member to collect teal tokens along the trail that can be redeemed for allergy-friendly treats at designated Allergy-Friendly Centers.

Costumes aren’t required for trick-or-treating but dressing up in creative Halloween outfits is highly encouraged! Just make sure to follow official costume guidelines.

Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade 🎉

Before sparking shovels send chills down your spine—get ready for Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade!

In this delightful show, Mickey and Minnie lead a parade filled with waltzing ghosts and beloved Disney characters in their festive costumes. Rare characters like Pain & Panic from “Hercules” and Vanellope from “Wreck-It Ralph” will also make appearances!

In 2025, catch Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade at 8:15 PM so that little ones have plenty of time to soak up all the magic.

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular 🧙‍♀️

It has been three hundred years since we last saw the Sanderson Sisters take center stage! This fan-favorite show brings laughter and chills as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary attempt their spell-casting with help from other notorious Disney Villains like Hades and Cruella De Vil! Guests get to clap along while contributing ingredients to their cauldron!

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular 🎆

As midnight approaches during the party festivities , join Jack Skellington for a spooky story time in which he transforms Cinderella Castle into a haunted dwelling. Watch as Zero guides Mickey and his friends through eerie encounters filled with spider webs and skeletons.

Witness dazzling projections transform the castle while fireworks light up the sky! Will our beloved characters escape Jack’s haunted house this time?

Stay Tuned: Foodie Delights & Exclusive Merch 🍂🛍️

Several popular rides will receive festive overlays this year—expect enchanting transformations complete with special lighting and music! Be on the lookout for updates regarding which attractions are getting a spooky makeover.

In addition to classic candy apples and popcorn found throughout the park’s offerings—our culinary team is crafting an exciting new menu featuring specialty Halloween food & drinks sure to satisfy even those with frightful appetites. Keep an eye out for our Foodie Guide that’ll spill all the gory details!
