When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake, spooks come out for a swinging wake…

That song can only mean one thing: it’s time for Halloween! It’s officially Halloween season at Disney World, and that means Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back. We’re live at the very first party of the year, so grab your candy buckets and costume and let’s get spooky.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event that runs on select nights in Magic Kingdom from now till October 31st. The party runs from 7 PM till midnight, but you can enter the park starting at 4 PM to enjoy some time in Magic Kingdom before it closes to the public for the party.

For 2026, tickets range from $119 to $229, plus tax, depending on what date you choose to attend. Typically, the dates closer to Halloween are more expensive. Your ticket gets you access to rides, entertainment, food, and more. Certain dates are known to sell out, so make sure you grab your tickets sooner rather than later!

Getting Started

Since you can get in at 4 PM for some extra time, we got there early, along with a lot of other guests. We parked at the Transportation & Ticket Center before we hopped on the ferryboat over to Magic Kingdom.

Once you scan in, you get a wristband that separates you from the other day guests. If you’re already in Magic Kingdom, there are a few different stops inside where you can get your wristband without having to leave the park. You can grab them at the Wristband Distribution stands.

Crowds

If there’s one thing we know about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it’s going to be busy! There was a bit of a crowd waiting to scan into the parks.

While it may be Halloween time, it’s still super hot out in Florida, so you might be standing in direct heat for a while. Don’t forget the sunscreen, hats, and anything else you need to cool down.

Once inside, the crowds funnel to the right where you’ll pick up your treat bag!

The Map

After you scan in and get your wristband, you can pick up a special map, which will tell you everything you need to know.

It has showtimes, trick-or-treat locations, character meet-and-greets, snack spots, and more! It’s also an amazing keepsake for your super fun night.

You can also find information in the My Disney Experience app, but we like having a physical copy, too.

Trick-or-Treating

When you enter, you’ll also get a reusable treat bag! You might want to bring a bigger bag to grab candy because Disney likes to give you massive scoops of candy, but there are other keepsakes you get to enjoy. Here’s a look at the front side…

Boo to You!

They’ll also give you your first bit of candy for the night. This year it was Twix.

If you have food allergies, don’t worry, you aren’t forgotten about. You’ll get a special bag and can still trick-or-treat throughout the night. Instead of picking up candy, you’ll grab tokens at each stop and exchange them for special treats at the end of the night. You can find all of the candy stops on the map, but you can also look for the big blow-up signs marking the candy spots.

Characters

When we grabbed our map and candy bag, there were some characters greeting us! Lockwood, the Chief Steward of the Haunted Mansion. He’s was welcoming guests with funny ghosty things as you walk in!

One of the most popular meet-and-greets is Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. If you’re planning on meeting them, you should plan to get there early and expect a long wait. Most of the time, the line opens early so people can start to line up before the party starts, so if you know meeting them is on your list, make sure you’re prepared to wait.

We love this time of year, and we’re so excited it’s spooly season in Disney World. Make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more tips and tricks to make sure you make the most of your ticket and have the best trip ever!
