A Spooktacular Start to the Season: First Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of 2025
The wait is over! Magic Kingdom has officially kicked off the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of 2025, and we were there to experience all the ghoulish fun. Despite some initial crowd-related hiccups, the night was a resounding success, packed with thrilling entertainment, classic characters, and plenty of Halloween spirit.

A Wait for the Pumpkin King and His Queen
The first night of the party is always a highly anticipated event, and that was especially true for the meet-and-greet with Jack Skellington and Sally. The posted wait time was 115 minutes, but as is often the case with popular characters, the reality was much longer, stretching to nearly four hours.
While the wait was a bit of a disappointment, the chance to see the beloved duo was worth it, and we were determined not to let it ruin our night.
Characters and Candy Galore
Once we got our wristbands, we dived into the festivities. We found that lines for other characters were much more manageable. We spotted a number of fan favorites, including the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Winnie the Pooh and friends, Cruella, and even a rocking Elvis Stitch. The trick-or-treating trails were a blast, and we enjoyed filling our bags with a variety of sweet treats.
Thrills, Chills, and Entertainment
The entertainment at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party never disappoints. The “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular” stage show, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, was a hit.
We also caught “Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular” fireworks, a show hosted by Jack Skellington that features dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts, and a sinister gathering of Disney villains, all set to an incredible display of fireworks and lasers.
A Villainous Debut
Our absolute favorite part of the night, as always, was “Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade.” The parade is a true spectacle, and this year it had an exciting new addition.
Mother Gothel from “Tangled” made her debut on the villains’ float, and it was a thrill to see her join the cavalcade of baddies. This new addition, along with the classic Gravediggers and the Haunted Mansion Ballroom Dancers, made for an unforgettable viewing experience.
Exclusive Merchandise
We also got a first look at the exclusive party merchandise, which features a variety of items, many of which glow in the dark. The collection includes a new Spirit Jersey, glow-in-the-dark t-shirts with designs for the Gravediggers and the Sanderson Sisters, and a new Loungefly backpack.
Pin collectors will be happy to know that there’s also a new selection of limited-edition pins, including a Haunted Mansion pin, a Stitch pin, and a Sanderson Sisters pin. Annual Passholders can also snag their own exclusive tee and pin.
