Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

This fall, ghosts and ghouls of all ages are invited to don their favorite costumes and celebrate all things haunted during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Taking place on 37 select nights Aug. 12 through Oct. 31, 2022, this special event haunts Magic Kingdom Park after normal park operating hours from 7 p.m. to midnight.  

As a part of this limited-capacity event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party attendees will encounter event-exclusive entertainment, notorious Disney villains, frightfully delicious menu items and more! Here’s some of what’s in store: 

  • The Headless Horseman will ride his ghostly steed down Main Street, U.S.A. as a prelude to Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade,” which features floats filled with Disney Characters dressed in their Halloween bestDisney villains and the Haunted Mansion graveyard diggers.  
  • What’s Halloween without candy? During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, guests can go trick-or-treating for M&M’S, SKITTLES, SNICKERS, and other Halloween favorites at locations throughout Magic Kingdom Park. And new this year, guests will also receive a reusable trick-or-treat bag featuring a keepsake 50th Anniversary celebration and Halloween design. 
  • Join the Sanderson Sisters during the “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular” stage show at Cinderella Castle as they call upon their frightening colleagues to conjure the ultimate “Hocus Pocus” Party Potion.   
  • Celebrate the season alongside favorite Disney characters as they take over the park for their favorite party of the year.  
  • Overlays themed for the occasion will return to several popular Magic Kingdom attractions: Space Mountain, Mad Tea Party, Pirates of the Caribbean and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.

  • Discover sweet and savory menu items inspired by fall flavors and the Halloween season.   
  • NEW! In honor of the 50th Anniversary celebration, we’re adding even more fun to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year in the form of event-exclusive step-in photo opportunities.

  • Will there be complimentary bottled soft drinks/water, ice cream novelties and popcorn like other after hours events?

  • When do Halloween fireworks dessert party tickets go on sale or for Reservations I really want to get them?

  • Why does Disney world not have the same shows and attractions as Disneyland does? It is disappointing to Coco or Oogie Boogie Bash is not apart of the Orlando event.

  • Will there be complimentary popcorn, ice cream, soda and water?

  • How do you get tickets? Call I or via the w site site? Thank you

  • (LAURA) You don’t have to have a regular park reservation to attend the Halloween party. Since its a limited capacity event, park pass reservations wont be necessary. You can always call Disney to make sure that no changes were made closer to your desired event date.

  • Im so excited! Opening night is while we are there. Ive always wanted to experience Halloween at Disney but as a teacher its hard to take time off at the beginning of the school year. Thank you Disney!!!

  • What time can you enter the park with your ticket ?

  • How early can we enter the park for this event?

  • Does anyone know if you have to have a park ticket and park reservation on the night of the ticketed party? Or would this be considered an exception to those needs?

  • If making hotel reservations for night of party will you be directed as to how to get the tickets early?

  • Will we get the free popcorn, Mickey ice cream bars, and drinks like we did at Boo Bash last year?

  • So excited! I’m happy to celebrate Halloween in August!

  • Question: Which specific Walt Disney World Resort hotels are considered to be “select”?

  • August 12th? So we’re doing Halloween in Summer. Seems awful early.
