Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

The 2026 dates were August 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28 and 30; September 1, 4, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27 and 29; and October 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29 and 31.

Prices climbed through the season. Only two nights, August 11 and 14, sold at the $119 floor. Late-September nights were $174 to $184. October started at $189 and rose to $229 for Halloween night itself. Most October dates were $199 or more.

Disney publishes no waitlist. If a date reopens, it will be on Disney's own ticket page. Avoid anyone selling party tickets second-hand; see park tickets without getting burned.

• A Masquerade with Stitch at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, with Lilo and Angel, where Stitch keeps changing costumes from Lilo's trunk.
• Spirited Swashbucklers in Adventureland, with Captain Jack Sparrow leading pirate antics.

Everything else is the returning format. Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade opens with the Headless Horseman. Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular is a fireworks and laser show hosted by Jack Skellington. Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular plays on the Cinderella Castle stage. There is also a Descendants dance party at Cosmic Ray's and the Cadaver Dans barbershop quartet in Frontierland.

Trick-or-treating around the park, the parade, the fireworks, the stage show and character meets in Halloween costumes. Most major rides stay open, including Space Mountain in darkness with spooky music, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, Tiana's Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run.

Guests with food allergies can collect a teal treat bag and use allergy-friendly candy stations. Adults may wear costumes within Disney's costume guidelines.

Food is extra. Party-exclusive dinner menus are served at Be Our Guest and Cinderella's Royal Table from 4 p.m., for party guests only, with reservations required. Two fireworks dessert parties are also sold separately. See Disney character dining for booking windows.

Enter at 4 p.m. The three hours before the party starts are, in effect, extra park time included in the ticket. Use them for rides, then switch to trick-or-treating and shows once the party begins at 7 p.m.

Eat at quick-service spots rather than booking a sit-down meal. Disney keeps about 14 counter-service locations open during the party, from Casey's Corner to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe, and several sell party-only items. The 2026 list included a Minnie Witch Hat treat at Cosmic Ray's, a Bowl of Bones at The Friar's Nook and Buzzard Wings at Pecos Bill.

Pick one showing each of the parade and the fireworks and plan the rest of the night around them. While the parade and the Hocus Pocus stage show pull crowds to Main Street and the castle, head for rides in other lands.

• Hollywood & Vine Halloween Dine at Hollywood Studios runs to November 3, 2026, with Minnie and friends in costume. It needs a day ticket, not a party ticket.
• Teens and adults: Halloween Horror Nights at Universal runs to November 1, from $87.99 a night. It is far scarier.
• Pirate fans: Pirates Dinner Adventure runs a Halloween show, Vampirates, on select nights in September and October.
• Plan ahead: the Christmas party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, had no sold-out nights on a September 2026 availability tracker.
