Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is back at Magic Kingdom for its 31st year, and the character lineup is one of the most expansive in recent memory. Three brand-new experiences join a roster of returning favorites spread across every land in the park, giving guests plenty of reasons to explore beyond the usual haunts.
The three new additions are the highlights of 2026. Captain Jack Sparrow now anchors a full pirate show called Captain Jack's Buccaneer Bash on the Adventureland Stage, rather than appearing solo as he has in past years. Chip 'n' Dale make their MNSSHP debut near the exit of Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Frontierland, dressed in skeleton vests, orange bat-shaped bow ties, and bat-wing capes. And in Tomorrowland, Stitch hosts Stitch's Masquerade Mashup at Rockettower Plaza Stage alongside Lilo and Angel — a playfully unpredictable show built around a rotating costume trunk that changes the party's theme throughout the night.
Returning fan favorites are scattered across the park. Main Street's Town Square Theater hosts Mickey and Minnie in their spider-themed Halloween looks, as well as Jack Skellington and Sally in a dedicated graveyard-themed room — complete with a new MNSSHP-branded autograph card pre-signed by both characters. Fantasyland is especially packed, with Maleficent and the Evil Queen at Princess Fairytale Hall, Ariel and Prince Eric near Journey of the Little Mermaid, the Cinderella stepsisters roaming near the castle, and Winnie the Pooh's whole crew in Halloween costumes at Pooh's Thotful Spot (Pooh as a bee, Piglet as a butterfly, Eeyore as a clown, and Tigger as a pirate).
Over in Frontierland and Liberty Square, guests can also find the three Country Bears roaming in colored vests, the Hitchhiking Ghosts appearing periodically at the Diamond Horseshoe Stage, and Mirabel and Bruno meeting under the Liberty Square Gazebo. The Market Street welcome trail near the park entrance, running from 4 to 8 p.m., features Haunted Mansion-inspired set pieces and characters including a speaking butler, gravediggers, and appearances by Miss Carlotta and Madam Renatta before they move to the Haunted Mansion for the evening.
