Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 Tickets
Special Note: Disney has announced the official return of the 2026 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — and the event kicks off earlier than ever before. Keep reading for everything we know about this year's spook-tacular celebration at Magic Kingdom.
Believe it or not, it's almost that time of year again — when all things spooky (and not so spooky) start taking place at Walt Disney World. On select autumn nights, the sun sets over Cinderella Castle as Magic Kingdom transforms into the center for all things Halloween. Twinkling songs give way to eerie music, shadows lengthen, and the Haunted Mansion hums with main character energy.
As a thank-you to our community, The Park Prodigy is offering discounted MNSSHP tickets for every 2026 party date for newsletter members. Tickets go on sale May 5 for select Disney Resort guests and May 12 for the general public — popular dates always sell out fast.

Disney is bringing fresh experiences to Magic Kingdom this Halloween season. Here's what makes 2026 unmissable.

2026 MNSSHP Ticket Prices
Prices vary by date — weekends and late-October dates run higher. Here's what to expect across the season.
Mostly mid-week August & early September dates. The biggest savings of the season.
Most October dates and weekend nights — the sweet spot of Halloween atmosphere and availability.
Final two parties of the season (Oct 30 & 31). These dates sell out first every single year.
Everything Included With Your MNSSHP Ticket
One ticket. Five hours of party. Endless Halloween magic — plus three bonus hours of Magic Kingdom starting at 4 PM.
Halloween Parades, Fireworks & Shows
Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade kicks off at 8:15 PM with the Headless Horseman riding down Main Street, U.S.A., followed by Disney villains, Haunted Mansion gravediggers, and characters in their Halloween best.
Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular is Magic Kingdom's wickedly wild Halloween fireworks display, hosted by Jack Skellington — best viewed close to Cinderella Castle.
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular brings the Sanderson Sisters back to the Castle stage to summon their villain comrades. Performed multiple times — the midnight show is the fan favorite.
Unlimited Treat Trails
Over a dozen treat stops marked on your party map. Cast members hand out Mars Wrigley favorites — M&Ms, Snickers, Starburst — and allergy-friendly options are available with teal tokens collected along the trail.
Kids and adults alike receive complimentary treat bags at the entrance, so don't worry about forgetting your pumpkin bucket at home.
Exclusive Costumed Characters
Meet Mickey & Minnie in their Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater, plus Sally and Jack Skellington, Pooh in his bumblebee costume, festive royal couples like Ariel and Eric and Aladdin and Jasmine, and many other rare appearances scattered throughout Magic Kingdom.
20+ Magic Kingdom Rides Stay Open
Limited-capacity nights mean you can knock out park favorites with rare wait times — some headliners drop to single digits.
All attractions and experiences subject to change without notice.
