Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025: The Ultimate Guide to Food, Fun & Frights (that won’t traumatize your kids)
What is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
Disney’s Biggest Fall Bash is back at Magic Kingdom Park from August 15 through October 31, 2025. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special ticket event that runs from 7 PM to midnight, but here’s the key – Your party ticket gets you in as early as 4 PM (3 extra hours of park time… without paying for a regular ticket that day).
Tickets: $119-$229 depending on the night. The closer you get to Halloween, the scarier the price. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members save $10 on select August/September nights.
Ticket prices aren’t the only thing that can get scary – missing the inside scoop does too. Be the first to know when new Disney & Universal updates drop:
Entertaining Highlights
- Mickey’s Boo-To-You Parade: Floats, villains, hitchhiking ghosts, and the Headless Horseman galloping down Main Street. Yes, it’s as iconic as it sounds.
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks: Projection-packed, Jack Skellington-hosted fireworks. You can book the Dessert Party for stress-free reserved viewing.
- Dance Parties: 2025 brings the new ZOM-BEATZ Bash in Tomorrowland, plus a Storybook Circus takeover with a DJ and themed meet-and-greets.
- Characters in Costumes: New this year: Mickey & Minnie meet together in their Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater — no more chasing them in separate spots. Jack & Sally return with refreshed looks, and villains lurk everywhere.
💎 Epic Intel: These entertainment offerings are exclusive to the party. If your family is deciding between a daytime park ticket or the Halloween Party, sometimes the party gives you more bang for your buck (fewer crowds, shorter ride waits, plus shows you won’t see otherwise).
Trick-or-Treat trails
- 14 candy stops this year, including two new ones in Storybook Circus.
- Full-size candy bars sometimes pop up, kind of like stumbling across a Hidden Mickey in your trick-or-treat bag.
- Allergies? Pick up teal allergy-friendly tokens to swap for safe snacks at Allergy Centers — your kids will feel like they’re cashing in treasure.
