The ULTIMATE Guide to the 2019 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World!
The very first night of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2019 is TONIGHT, and while we know it seems a little strange to be saying “trick or treat” in the heart of swimsuit season, we all know the main mouse loves a good party. And with tickets available for the Halloween celebration, we have to admit: we’re looking forward to Fall’s early arrival in Magic Kingdom!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is a fun and festive hard-ticketed event (that means you need to purchase a separate ticket to attend). The party includes rare character meet and greets, awesome party treats, stellar Halloween entertainment, and candy (lots and lots of candy!).
Here’s the DFB’s Ultimate Guide to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Buy a Separate Ticket
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party requires a separate ticket (but does not require regular Park admission). You’ll want to buy your ticket ahead of time (to be safe), but tickets are available at the Park, too, when the party isn’t sold out. You can find out more about purchasing your tickets here!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Only 20,000 tickets are sold for each night of the party, so beware: if you want to attend a party close to Halloween proper, definitely buy your ticket ahead of time because those parties do sell out.
Dates and Times
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party officially starts at 7PM on party nights — with regular park guests being ushered out around 6PM. In the past, those with Halloween Party tickets/wristbands have been allowed to enter the park at 4PM. However, things at Walt Disney World are always subject to change, so don’t rely on that 4PM entry.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Dressing Up in Costume
Guests attending the Halloween Party are allowed — and encouraged — to dress up. But for guests 14 and older, there are some rules. You’ll want to check party details for specifics, but some of those rules include no masks, no layers, and some character-specific limitations.
Costumes encouraged!
Otherwise — have fun! We’ve seen families with themed costumes, couples representing famous Disney duos, and plenty of cute kids evoking their favorite characters!
Rides and Attractions
Magic Kingdom rides and attractions do run throughout the party, but your Halloween Party time might be better spent on the party-exclusive entertainment and activities rather than enjoying rides you can jump on any day.
Haunted Mansion
If you do enter the park before the start of the party, you can use those hours to ride some of your favorites or grab a meal, thus freeing up your party time for party things!
Halloween Party Eats and Treats
Food is available throughout the party all over the park — at table service and quick service locations as well as Trick or Treat locations!
Trick or Treat!
That’s right: you can Trick or Treat during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party — and you’ll definitely want to! When you check in, you’ll get a treat bag, and all you have to do is hit up as many candy spots as you desire. Cast members will load you up with quality candy like M&Ms, Skittles, Milky Way Bars, and more! (It’s not unheard of to fill your bag with just a few stops; cast members are very generous with the candy!)
Trick-or-Treat in the Magic Kingdom
When you’re not snagging that candy, grab specialty party eats! These are pastries and desserts made exclusively for the party, and they’re not your average cupcakes, y’all! In 2019, we’ll be snacking with the Headless Horseman at Sleepy Hollow and slicing into Constance’s For Better or For Worse Wedding Cake in Liberty Square!

This year there’s a Sanderson Sisters-themed cupcake — Amuck, Amuck, Amuck Cupcake — at Main Street Bakery that we can’t wait to try!!

Of course, you can always find holiday-specific treats at popular spots like the Main Street Confectionery and Storybook Treats!
NEW in 2019: Cruella’s Halloween Hide-A-Way is a Party add-on (the cost is an additional $99 per person on top of a ticket to the Party itself) that lets guests graze on a savory and sweet buffet at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant while mingling with Cruella De Vil! Guests also get reserved seating for the Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. Read more here!
Allergen-Free Treats
One of the great things about partying at the Magic Kingdom for Halloween is the availability of allergen-free treats in various park locations. These locations will be marked on your party map, but they’re usually at Town Hall and in the Liberty Square.

Those in need of alternative treats will receive tokens, which they then turn in for lots of specialty candies, cookies, and non-food items.

It’s a terrific way to make sure that every member of your party can enjoy themselves!

Entertainment
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is known for its world-class, only-available-here entertainment. You’ll definitely want to check out the Boo To You Parade that runs at 9:15 and 11:15 — and stake out your spot before the parade begins! That’s how you can guarantee you’ll see the infamous Headless Horseman, who opens the parade by taking a ride on horseback through the parade route! The Horseman is followed by the Gravediggers with their clanging shovels and lots of Disney Villains!
Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
New to the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade in 2019 are the Spectral Bride in the Haunted Mansion portion of the parade and an entirely new Tomorrowland portion of the parade that incorporates the Incredibles, Edna Mode, Buzz Lightyear, and the Aliens!
Boo-To-You
You’ll also want to catch the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular in front of the castle at 8:15, 10:45, or Midnight. This musical extravaganza features the sisters of Hocus Pocus and even more villains!
The big news of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2019 is an ALL-NEW fireworks spectacular! Disney’s Not-So-Scary Spooktacular will be hosted by Jack Skellington (!!) and will feature his pup Zero! Mickey, Minnie, and their pals will embark on an epic adventure that involves villains, spooks, and plenty of pyrotechnics! This highly anticipated replacement for the popular HalloWishes show is the first new Party fireworks show in 14 years!

In the past, guests could dance with their friends from Monsters, Inc., in Tomorrowland at the Monsters Scream-O-Ween Ball, but for 2019, Disney has announced that our Monster friends will interact with party guests in new ways as they learn about the Human World holiday known as Halloween! We’re sure this addition will be a scream!
And don’t forget: Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party also brings out some rare characters like Jack and Sally (whose line tends to be enormous!); Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and the Queen of Hearts; and Winnie the Pooh friends! (Peruse your Party Pamphlet for character locations!)
