The best way to celebrate Halloween in Orlando with your family is at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. The family-friendly hard-ticket event runs on select nights from August 7 through October 31, 2026, featuring trick-or-treating, a beloved Halloween parade, a villain stage show, and a fireworks spectacular. On the opposite end of the spectrum from Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, this is Disney’s signature Halloween celebration — costumes encouraged for all ages.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026
Party guests can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 p.m., with the full party experience beginning at 7:00 p.m. Throughout the year, Magic Kingdom sees kids dressed as pirates and princesses, but on party nights, every guest arrives in their best Halloween costume for an immersive evening of trick-or-treating, entertainment, and spooky surprises. Over a dozen trick-or-treating stations are set up throughout the park, with complimentary treat bags provided to all guests at entry and Mars Wrigley candy distributed at each stop.
Halloween Entertainment 2026
New for 2026: Stitch hosts a dance party at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, joined by Lilo and Angel in a costume-themed celebration as Stitch tries on Halloween costumes throughout the night.
Returning highlights include:
- Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade — the Headless Horseman leads the procession down Main Street U.S.A. at 8:15 p.m., followed by costumed Disney characters and the Disney Villains
- Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular — the Sanderson Sisters take the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage alongside Hades, Jafar, and other iconic Disney villains for a spellbinding show
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Fireworks Spectacular — Jack Skellington narrates a fireworks show set to Halloween music, with castle projections and pyrotechnics over Seven Seas Lagoon
Character meet-and-greets include Jack Skellington and Sally, Mickey and Minnie in Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater, Winnie the Pooh in his bumblebee costume, and royal couples including Ariel and Eric and Aladdin and Jasmine. Surprise villain appearances pop up throughout the park. Main Street U.S.A. is transformed with pumpkin scarecrows, dimmed lighting, and flickering jack-o-lanterns. Most Magic Kingdom attractions run throughout the night with shorter wait times than a typical park day.

Local Tip: Take advantage of the 4:00 p.m. early entry to knock out your favorite rides before the party crowds arrive. Trick-or-treat stations open at 7:00 p.m. — have your treat bag ready at the gate. For the best parade viewing, stake out a spot on Main Street U.S.A. at least 30 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. start.
