Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party - MNSSHP

August 15, 2025 – October 31, 2025 (On Select Dates Only)
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a ticketed special event which includes Halloween-themed entertainment and takes place after dark at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park. This frightfully fun experience takes place on select nights — from August 15, 2025 to October 31, 2025.

Party guests can dress-up (as long as your face is not covered and your costumes don't violate any of the normal day-guest policies), but dressing up is not required. There's many, many guests just wearing normal street clothes, enjoying all the event has to offer.

Event Times
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (also commonly referenced using the acronym MNSSHP) will take place from 7:00 PM to midnight on select nights.

MNSSHP ticket holders will be admitted to Magic Kingdom park as early as 4:00 PM on the valid date of their ticket, giving them even more time to enjoy park favorites before the event begins! These date-specific event tickets do not require an additional day theme park ticket or theme park reservation.

Party Highlights
  • Rides and Attractions
    Most rides and attractions remain open during the party and because total park capacity is a little lower than on a “normal” day, lines are a little shorter.
  • Trick-or-Treating and Candy Bags
    When you check-in for the event, you'll be handed a small trick-or-treating bag with Halloween Disney art printed on it. If you have any kind of food allergies, you'll get a slightly different colored bag. There's several trick-or-treating stations located throughout the park. The locations are marked on the special event map and they also usually have brightly lit "treat" signs near each location.

    Cast members hand out candy and treats at the stations. You can visit any of the stations, as many times as you want over the course of the evening. There's at least 5 treat stations (possibly more) and one of the fun things to do at the party, is to see if you can visit them all.

    If you have a "food allergy bag" you'll receive a token, instead of candy. There's a couple special "token trade-in" locations on the event map, where you can trade in your "food allergy tokens" for treats that are made specifically for different allergy types.
  • Mickey's Boo To You Halloween Parade
    The special Boo To You Halloween Parade takes place twice each night at MNSSHP (weather permitting) and generally runs from the Thunder Mountain area, down to Liberty Square, over to the Castle courtyard turnabout, and the down Main Street to the Train Station.

    The parade features many Disney characters including Mickey and Minnie wearing special Halloween costumes, hitchhiking ghosts and characters from the Haunted Mansion, and a couple of wicked Disney Villains that you don't  get to see normally in parades. The parade music is memorable and the parade is very well staged… it's definitely one of the highlights of any MNSSHP event, and worth getting a good spot for.
  • Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks
    There's a special fireworks and castle projection show that's around 12 minutes long and performed on each of the MNSSHP event nights. The show is set to spooky music and features some firework, laser, and projection effects (on Cinderella Castle) that aren't normally seen throughout the year.
  • Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
    There's a large production that takes place on the main castle stage called "Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular" that is hosted by the Sanderson Sisters from the movie Hocus Pocus. It's performed several times each event night (weather permitting).
  • Halloween Areas and Dance Parties
    Storybook Circus is transformed into a happy haunt for families with younger children (heck, I even like it and I'm much older than a "younger child"). There's also themed Dance Parties with DJs in select locations that are great for families that have children that span multiple age groups.
  • Special Food
    Oh, there's a food element... there's actually a whole "festival menu" that gets released closer to the first MNSSHP start date. While you can make reservations for some restaurants like
    Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant... many Counter Service locations will be offering a special menu that can only be purchased and enjoyed during the MNSSHP event. There's also a pretty great dessert party that can be booked called  Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party (click here to see photos).
  • Meet Your Favorite Characters
    There are many more character meet-and-greet locations during a MNSSHP... and some of the character are wearing "haunt-couture" costumes. For example Winnie the Pooh just loves dressing up like a little Bee because they make the honey he loves so much! All the character meet-and-greet locations are marked on the nightly event maps that you can pick up when you check-in to the event.

Dates Announced for the 2025 MNSSHP - Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

It's starting to get hot and humid here in Central Florida and that can only mean one thing... it's time to start thinking about Halloween — or more specifically, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party aka MNSSHP. We just received all of the party dates this year and there's about the same number of event nights as there was last year — the first of which begins in mid-August. Just like last year, it looks like Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket on ... ( read more ... )

Food & Beverage Menu Items for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) 2024

While not exactly being a "foodie" event — the shear number of special, extra-cost food and beverage items that will be available for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is worth putting together a menu page for. As we see it, there's too many things to try on just one night, so I wanted to do a little pre-planning and see what all is available... just like I would for one of the larger food festivals at Epcot. The "how, when and where" to get these food items is a little different ... ( read more ... )

Tickets for the very popular Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) started today (May 15th, 2024) for this year's festivities.

I cover MNSSHP because there is a large food component to the festival, but we don't have menus for that yet. I suspect the menu will be posted anytime between now and the next couple of ...

Food & Beverage Menu Items for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) 2023

A festival menu page for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) might seem a little unusual, but actually, there's quite a few great sounding food items this year — so I figured I'd publish this list, just like we do with the larger festivals. The "how, when and where" to get these food items is a little different than with the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. There aren't any special food booths or kiosk set up during MNSSHP. Instead, special items will be available at ... ( read more ... )
