Magic Kingdom is bringing back its popular after-hours Halloween celebration for 2026, with Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party running on select nights from August 7 through October 31. The separately ticketed event kicks off at 7 PM, though party guests can enter the park as early as 4 PM — giving families up to eight hours to enjoy everything on offer.
New this year, Stitch takes over Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland with a costume-themed dance party alongside Lilo and Angel. Each accessory Stitch pulls from Lilo's Costume Trunk triggers a theme change, keeping the show fresh throughout the night. Fan favorites return as well, including the Cadaver Dans, Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade at 8:15 PM, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular featuring the Sanderson Sisters and an ensemble of Disney Villains, and Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show centered on Jack Skellington and Cinderella Castle.
Trick-or-treating spans more than a dozen stops throughout the park, with cast members handing out Mars Wrigley candies including M&Ms, Snickers, and Starburst. Complimentary treat bags are provided to all guests — costumes are encouraged but not required to collect candy. Character meet-and-greets include Jack Skellington and Sally, Mickey and Minnie in Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater, Pooh in his bumblebee suit, and several Disney royal couples in festive attire.
Ticket prices vary by date. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, the Swan and Dolphin, or Shades of Green can purchase beginning May 5; all other guests can buy starting May 12. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members are eligible for discounts. Tickets are available at Disneyworld.com/Halloween or by calling 407-934-7639. Party nights frequently sell out, so early booking is strongly advised.
Additional details on food, merchandise — including a Not-So-Scary Crewneck and themed adult tees — and character lineups are expected in the weeks ahead, according to the Disney Parks Blog.
