As the sun sets over Cinderella Castle and the Magic Kingdom transforms into a playful world of eerie enchantment, one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved seasonal events is officially on the calendar. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) will return in 2026, bringing family-friendly frights, exclusive entertainment, and unforgettable Halloween magic on select nights from August 7 through October 31.
Guests planning to attend should mark their calendars early. In August, party nights will take place on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. September follows a similar pattern, with an additional Thursday event on September 24. October brings even more opportunities to celebrate, with parties scheduled every Thursday, most Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays, plus a special Halloween night event on October 31.
“These parties are incredibly popular and they will sell out,” said Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group. “We always tell our clients—if you know you want to go, don’t wait. Securing tickets early is key to making sure your vacation includes this unforgettable experience.”
New & Returning Entertainment
This year introduces fresh entertainment alongside fan-favorite traditions. A brand-new dance party starring Stitch, Lilo, and Angel will take over Tomorrowland’s Rockettower Plaza Stage, offering a dynamic, ever-changing celebration. Meanwhile, the beloved Cadaver Dans will return to Frontierland with their signature eerie harmonies.
Guests can also expect the return of iconic experiences like:
- Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, stepping off at 8:15 PM
- Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, featuring the Sanderson Sisters and Disney villains
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks, hosted by Jack Skellington
- Exclusive character meet-and-greets, including Jack and Sally, Mickey and Minnie in Halloween attire, and more
More Villains Lurking Than Ever Before
Walt Disney World is also teasing an exciting new twist for 2026—guests should keep their eyes peeled as they roam Magic Kingdom, because Disney Villains may be out in greater numbers than ever before. According to Disney, “you may see new and returning Disney Villains appear as you creep by through the streets,” adding an extra layer of surprise and mischief to the night. From unexpected encounters to spontaneous sightings, this enhancement is sure to make the party feel even more immersive—and just a little more wicked.

“These after-hours parties consistently sell out,” Bohm added. “Booking through us ensures you don’t miss your preferred date and helps you plan the rest of your vacation around it.”
Trick-or-Treating & Spooky Fun
MNSSHP remains one of the best trick-or-treating events anywhere, with over a dozen candy stops throughout the park. Guests of all ages can collect favorites like M&Ms, Snickers, and Starburst—no costume required, though dressing up is highly encouraged.
Adding to the magic, select attractions will once again receive Halloween overlays with special lighting, music, and effects.

Ticket sales begin May 5 for guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels and May 12 for all other guests. Prices vary by date, and discounts are available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.
