Fall at Walt Disney World is extra magical—and there’s no event more beloved than Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! This separately ticketed event transforms Magic Kingdom into a festive, family-friendly Halloween wonderland filled with exclusive entertainment, trick-or-treating, spooky snacks, and rare character sightings.
If you’re thinking about attending, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your night.
🎟️ What Is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special after-hours event that takes place on select nights from mid-August through Halloween night at Magic Kingdom Park. It’s a separate ticket from regular park admission, and it gives guests exclusive access to the park after it closes to daytime visitors.
Party Hours: 7:00 PM – 12:00 AM (but you can enter the park as early as 4:00 PM with your event ticket!)
This means fewer crowds, shorter wait times for popular rides, and tons of exclusive Halloween fun.
🍬 Trick-or-Treating Around the Park
Yes, kids (and adults!) can trick-or-treat throughout the park. Disney provides complimentary treat bags, and there are candy stations located in every land. Expect favorites like Mars and Hershey treats—plus allergy-friendly options too.
Pro tip: Hit the trick-or-treat trails later in the night when lines are shorter and cast members are feeling extra generous with the candy scoopers.

🕸️ Ride the Rides with Low Wait Times
Because the event is limited-capacity, wait times for many popular attractions are significantly shorter than usual. Some rides even get a Halloween makeover, like Space Mountain going completely dark and Mad Tea Party featuring special lighting effects.
🍭 Special Treats & Merchandise
No Disney party is complete without themed snacks and souvenirs! Each year, MNSSHP offers exclusive Halloween-themed treats, drinks, and limited-edition merchandise. These are only available during party hours, so don’t wait until the end of the night to grab your favorites.
🎭 Costumes Welcome (and Encouraged!)
This is one of the few times of year when guests of all ages can wear costumes to the park. From princesses and pirates to creative group themes, the costume game is strong at MNSSHP.
Just remember:
Costumes must be family-friendly.
No full face masks for guests over 13.
Check Disney’s costume guidelines before arriving.
