Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 dates, tickets, prices, costume rules, and what to wear guide — Magic Kingdom's after-hours Halloween event returns August 7 through October 31, 2026, with trick-or-treating, the Boo-To-You Parade, and Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks.

What date is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2026?

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs on select nights from August 7 through October 31, 2026 at Magic Kingdom. The party itself runs from 7:00 PM to midnight, but ticket holders can enter the park as early as 4:00 PM to get a few extra hours in before the event starts. In August and September, parties fall on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays; October adds most Thursdays, Saturdays, and additional weekday dates, with Halloween night itself (October 31) as the grand finale.

How much are Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 tickets?

Ticket prices vary by date, generally ranging from $119 to $229 per person plus tax — dates closer to Halloween and weekend nights cost more. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save on select nights.

How hard is it to get tickets to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?

Not easy — this party sells out most nights, especially Fridays, Sundays, and anything in October, with October 31 historically the first to go. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels got early access starting May 5, with general on-sale opening May 12. If you're planning to go, buying your date as early as possible is the difference between getting in and watching from home.

What are the costume rules for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026?

This is the one night (well, several nights) Disney relaxes its usual under-14 costume rule and lets guests of all ages dress up. But there are still guidelines to know before you plan your look:

• Costumes must be family-friendly — nothing obstructive, offensive, or violent
• No weapons, props, or accessories that resemble or could be mistaken for a real weapon
• No sharp or pointed objects, or anything that could accidentally strike another guest
• For guests 14 and up, costumes or props that fully surround the body are discouraged and may get extra security screening
• Masks must allow full visibility of the eyes and unobstructed peripheral vision
• Proper attire — including shoes and a shirt — must be worn at all times
• You can dress as your favorite character, but you can't pose for photos or sign autographs as if you are that character
• Costumes aren't required to attend — plenty of guests come in regular clothes

Disney Cast Members always have final say at the door, so when in doubt, choose comfort and coverage over anything elaborate.

What to wear to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Florida in August, September, and October is hot and humid, even after sundown — which is exactly why a heavy, synthetic costume from a party store isn't the move for a 5-hour night at Magic Kingdom. A well-made, breathable gown solves two problems at once: it meets Disney's family-friendly, non-obstructive guidelines, and it's actually comfortable to wear for hours of walking, trick-or-treating, and dancing.

Here's how to shop it by who's dressing up:

Princess dresses. Shop our Princess Dresses collection — built specifically for a night of walking, trick-or-treating, and dancing, with lightweight construction and no stiff boning or heavy layering, so a child can move freely for hours instead of overheating by 9 PM. For babies and toddlers heading to their first party, our Baby Princess Dresses collection has sizing built for that age group specifically.

Storybook & character costumes. For families who want their child to actually be a character rather than wear a generic costume, our Character Dress Up collection covers classic storybook looks made for exactly this kind of event — Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel. For families going all-in on a themed group look, our Alice in Wonderland collection (Alice or her Queen of Hearts) and Winnie the Pooh collection are two of our most requested storybook themes for a family or sibling group at the party.

Mommy-and-me matching sets. Since Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the only nights adults can dress up too, our Mommy and Me Matching Dresses collection lets a mom coordinate with her daughter in the same silhouette — same princess or storybook character, sized for both, from $650.

Boys' costumes. For the boys, our Boys' Birthday & Character Sets collection covers prince and storybook-inspired pieces for the party, so the whole family can go in coordinated looks rather than just the girls.

Every piece is handmade to order, so the earlier you plan your look relative to your party date, the more comfortable the timeline. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll help you pick the right piece — and the right size — before your party date sells out.
