Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Event Overview

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is Disney World's long-running hard-ticket Halloween event at Magic Kingdom, held on select nights each fall with the park closed to regular day guests during party hours. It combines trick-or-treating, costumed characters, and Halloween-specific entertainment not offered on normal park days.

Its two biggest draws are the Boo-to-You Parade, led by the Headless Horseman and featuring Disney villains and Haunted Mansion characters, and the Halloween Screams fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington.

Highlights

• Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade down Main Street, U.S.A.
• Halloween Screams fireworks, hosted by Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas
• Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show on Cinderella Castle
• Trick-or-treating at candy stations throughout the park
• Rare character meet-and-greets in Halloween costumes
• Guests permitted (and encouraged) to wear costumes, unlike regular park days

Planning Tips

• Buy tickets as early as possible — the cheapest and most popular dates (including Halloween night itself) sell out months in advance.
• Weeknight, non-peak dates in August/September are both cheaper and less crowded than October weekends.
• Prioritize the Hocus Pocus show and one parade viewing early, since trick-or-treat lines build fast later in the night.
• Ticket holders can enter the park hours before party start, so arrive early to enjoy attractions before the crowds arrive.
