There is something especially lovely about Halloween at Walt Disney World®. The air feels a little crisper. The castle glows in violet and orange. And for select nights from August 7 through October 31, 2026, Magic Kingdom® Park transforms into something only a Disney family can truly understand; a beautifully balanced evening of trick-or-treating, character meet-and-greets, and gentle thrills that even the youngest little ones can savor.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is officially confirmed for the 2026 season, and for families thinking ahead to fall travel, it remains one of the most rewarding hard-ticket events Disney offers.
What’s Included With Your Party Ticket
The party runs from 7:00 p.m. to midnight, but party guests may enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 p.m. giving your family up to eight full hours inside the park on event night. That extended window is a quiet favorite of ours, because it allows time to enjoy regular attractions before the festivities begin.
Once the party kicks off, families can look forward to trick-or-treating at stations throughout the park, the beloved Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks, character cavalcades featuring rare Halloween appearances, costume opportunities for the entire family, and Halloween-themed treats and exclusive merchandise.
When to Book
Tickets become available beginning May 5, 2026, for guests staying at select Walt Disney World® Resort hotels (including Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Shades of Green®), and on May 12 for all other guests. Pricing varies by date — and the most popular party nights tend to sell out quickly.
