If you’re planning a Disney Halloween trip in 2026, there’s one event you can’t miss: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. This after-hours celebration combines the enchantment of Walt Disney World with the playful spirit of Halloween, creating an unforgettable night of family fun.
Close your eyes and imagine walking down Main Street, U.S.A. with glowing Mickey pumpkin lanterns overhead, golden garlands swaying, and the sweet scent of cinnamon and popcorn in the air. Cinderella Castle sparkles in shades of purple and orange, and your family, dressed in matching Halloween costumes, is ready for a night full of laughter, candy, and Disney magic.
Why Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a Must in 2026
Every fall, Magic Kingdom transforms into a Halloween wonderland that’s festive without being too scary, perfect for kids, parents, and even grandparents. This mix of classic Disney charm and seasonal fun is why families return year after year. Here’s what makes the 2026 Halloween Party so special:
Trick-or-Treating for All Ages
Unlike most Halloween events, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party lets both kids and adults go trick-or-treating. Candy trails wind through Magic Kingdom, and the sight of grandparents, parents, and kids all laughing together under glowing jack-o’-lanterns is what makes this night truly magical.
Mickey’s Boo-To-You Parade
This fan-favorite parade is one of the highlights of the evening. It begins with the dramatic entrance of the Headless Horseman, followed by floats filled with Disney characters in their Halloween best. From the Haunted Mansion’s grinning ghosts to Disney villains marching proudly, this parade captures the heart of the season. And yes, you’ll find yourself singing along to the “Boo to You” theme before the night is over.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks
Hosted by the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus, this fireworks show lights up the sky with stunning colors and castle projections. It’s equal parts spooky and magical, the perfect finale to your Magic Kingdom Halloween Party 2026.
Rare Character Meet & Greets
One of the biggest draws of this event is the chance to meet characters you won’t find during a regular park day. Past parties have included:
Jack Skellington & Sally

These limited-time meet-and-greets create priceless photo opportunities and unforgettable moments.
