What is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
This after-hours event is one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved traditions. It’s a separately ticketed celebration that fills Magic Kingdom with exclusive entertainment, treat trails, character encounters, and villainous delights. Guests of all ages are encouraged to don costumes, collect candy, and enjoy Halloween overlays on select attractions. With spooky season vibes and zero fright factor, it’s the perfect family-friendly way to celebrate.
What’s Different About the 2025 Dates?
This year’s party dates run from August 15 through October 31, offering 38 event nights—the same number as 2024, but with some notable changes in scheduling:
- Later start: 2024 kicked off early on August 9. This year, the party doesn’t begin until August 15, trimming the earliest offerings.
- New Sunday nights: For the first time in recent memory, 2025 includes Sunday parties in August (17 & 24) and October (5 & 26)—a hauntingly helpful addition for weekend travelers.
- No Labor Day party: Unlike 2024, there’s no event on Labor Day itself (Monday, September 1). Instead, the September run starts on Tuesday the 2nd.
- October shifts: Several October 2024 dates (like the 1st, 4th, 6th, 11th, and 18th) are absent this year, with 2025 leaning harder into Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and adding fewer Saturday parties overall.
The calendar still offers a healthy mix of weekday and weekend options, but with these subtle shifts, seasoned MNSSHP fans may want to double-check their spooky strategies when planning.
Character Greetings and Spooky Surprises
One of the biggest hits of the party? Character greetings you can’t get during regular park hours. This year, Mickey and Minnie will greet together in their Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater for the first time. Jack and Sally will return, and several classic Disney Villains are expected to creep into the party zones for eerie interactions and photo ops.
Trick-or-Treating Like a Pro
More than a dozen treat trails will be scattered throughout Magic Kingdom again this year, filled with Mars Wrigley favorites like M&M’s, Snickers, Skittles, and more. Guests with food allergies can collect teal tokens and redeem them for allergy-friendly options at special locations. And yes—everyone gets a complimentary treat bag!
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
The Headless Horseman returns to lead the way in this crowd-favorite parade, which kicks off at 8:15 PM—a perfect time for little ghouls and goblins. Expect rare characters like Pain & Panic and Vanellope, as well as dancing gravediggers, classic villains, and Halloween royalty.
Hocus Pocus Villains Spelltacular
Winifred, Sarah, and Mary are once again lighting up the Castle stage with their not-so-successful spellcasting and high-energy hijinks. The Sanderson Sisters will be joined by Disney’s most wicked icons—Hades, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and more—for a live show that’s both hilarious and haunting.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular
Jack Skellington hosts this multimedia fireworks spectacular featuring castle projections, fireworks, and a spooky story starring Mickey and Friends as they explore a haunted house. It’s a stunning finale filled with creepy color and sky-high fun.
New Frights and Returning Favorites
Expect select attractions to get a seasonal glow-up with Halloween overlays, including lighting and sound effects. The fan-favorite Cadaver Dans will be back in Frontierland, while a new Zombies-themed dance party promises high-energy thrills in Tomorrowland. And yes—Disney’s culinary team is already cooking up some sinister snacks and specialty sips for the 2025 Foodie Guide.
Specialty Merchandise
Exclusive party merch is always a hot item, and this year’s lineup will include glow-in-the-dark gear, collectibles, and more spooky souvenirs that materialize only during the event.
