Dust off your costumes and grab your candy bags—it’s that time of year again! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back at Magic Kingdom for the 2025 season, and it’s packed with spooky (but not too scary) fun for guests of all ages. Whether you’re a first-timer or a party pro, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this festive fright night.
What Is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
MNSSHP is a separately ticketed event that transforms Magic Kingdom into a Halloween haven. The park comes alive with hauntingly delightful décor, character meet-and-greets in costume, exclusive entertainment, and unlimited trick-or-treating. It’s the perfect blend of Disney magic and spooky fun—without the gore or jump scares.
2025 Party Dates
This year’s parties run on select nights from August 15 to October 31, 2025, giving you plenty of chances to join the fun. Halloween night is always the most popular and sells out early—so grab your tickets as soon as possible!
What’s Included with Your MNSSHP Ticket?
Once you step into the event, here’s what you can expect:
- Early Admission: Event guests can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, even though the party officially starts at 7:00 PM.
- Trick-or-Treating: Collect as much candy as your bag can carry at designated treat stations around the park.
- Boo-to-You Halloween Parade: A fan favorite! Watch Mickey and friends (plus some ghoulish villains) dance their way through the park in this lively, spooky parade.
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular: A fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington that lights up the night with Halloween magic.
- Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular: The Sanderson Sisters return to the castle stage for a high-energy performance filled with spells, songs, and sinister charm.
- Rare Character Meet-and-Greets: Say hello to your favorite Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best—some of which you won’t see anywhere else.
- Attraction Overlays: Some rides get a Halloween twist, like Mad Tea Party’s eerie lighting and Space Mountain in total darkness!
Costumes & Candy Tips
Costumes are encouraged for all ages—just be sure to follow Disney’s costume guidelines (no masks for adults and nothing too scary or inappropriate). Kids and adults alike can trick-or-treat throughout the park, and allergy-friendly options are available.
Pro Tip: Bring a larger bag than the one Disney provides—you’ll thank us later.
Is MNSSHP Worth It?
In short—YES! If you’re a Halloween lover, Disney fan, or just want a unique after-hours experience, this event is packed with value. Fewer crowds, short wait times for rides, exclusive entertainment, and endless treats make it a guest favorite year after year.
