Planning to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom this year? Whether you’re a seasoned ghost or a first-time trick-or-treater, here’s everything you need to know to make your night full of frightful fun — not confusion!
🕓 Early Entry at 4PM
Your party ticket gets you into the park starting at 4PM — even though the party officially begins at 7PM. That gives you 3 bonus hours to grab dinner, hop on rides, and maybe even beat the character lines!
🎟️ Party Time: 7PM–Midnight
Pace yourself, especially if you’ve got little ones or are planning to dance until the clock strikes 12.
👻 Must-See Character Meet & Greets:
🎩 Mickey & Minnie – In brand-new 2025 Halloween costumes (hello, photo op!)
🎃 Jack & Sally – Start greeting around 4:30PM at Town Square Theater – line up early!
🧸 Pooh & Friends – Dressed in adorable costumes, meeting in Fantasyland.
🧙♀️ Villains Sightings – Think Maleficent, Evil Queen, and more. These surprise appearances tend to pop up after 7PM near the front of the park.

🎶 Dance Parties & Roaming Entertainment:
💃 Kid-friendly dance zones – Great for burning off candy energy!
🎤 Cadaver Dans – The spooky version of the Dapper Dans sing haunting harmonies in Frontierland.
👻 Hitchhiking Ghosts – You may just run into them wandering the park!
🎆 Shows, Parades & Fireworks:
🎭 Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular – Watch the Sanderson Sisters stir up trouble on the castle stage! Last show of the night is usually the least crowded.
🎇 Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks – Happens once at 10PM. Secure a castle-view spot around 9:15PM.
🧑🎤 Powerline Max Pre-Show – Dance it out on Main Street before each parade!
🕺 BOO to You Parade – Happens twice: 8:15PM & 11:25PM. Pro tip: the late one is way less packed.
💀 Headless Horseman Ride – Gallops through before the parade if weather cooperates (and it’s a must-see moment!).
🍬 Snacks, Merch & Party-Exclusive Fun:
🎢 Ride overlays – Experience special Halloween versions of:
- Space Mountain (in total darkness!)
- Mad Tea Party (with spooky lights & music)
- Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor (with Halloween-themed jokes)
- Catch “live” actors, ghostly residents of the mansion who entertain guests from the lawn or balcony area. Madame Carlotta is the most well-known — she’s hilarious, spooky, and full of sassy charm as she interacts with guests waiting in line. Her improv and storytelling make her one of the party’s hidden gems! (my personal favorite!)
- You may also see Jack Sparrow and his crew of pirates wandering inside of The Pirates of the Carribean!
🛍️ Exclusive Merch – Find Halloween-only souvenirs at The Emporium and Star Traders.
🍬 Trick-or-Treating – Candy stations throughout the park. Pro tip: the later it gets, the bigger the handfuls!
🧁 Event-Only Snacks – Seasonal sweets and treats available at select quick-service spots – look out for themed cupcakes, slushies, and more.
🎃 Pro Tips for a Spook-tacular Night:
👻 Rest Day = Best Day – Make it your resort day so you’re fresh for a late night.
🧵 Costumes encouraged – Even for adults! Keep it lightweight (Florida heat is no joke) and toss rain gear in your park bag just in case.
🗺️ Have a Plan – Know your must-do characters and shows, but stay flexible — some of the best magic is in the moments you don’t plan.
✨ Now grab your candy bag, dust off your costume, and get ready for the most magical Halloween party on earth. See ya real soon! 👻
