NOTE: Many nights sell out in advance and in fact, the party sold out entirely in September so purchasing your tickets early is very important!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a hard ticket special event, which means that you need to purchase a Party ticket in order to attend. Your regular Magic Kingdom day ticket will not gain you admission to the Party.

While the Halloween Party runs from 7PM to Midnight, a Party ticket allows Party guests to enter Magic Kingdom at 4PM on the day of their Party.

To purchase tickets, call (407) 939-1872, visit DisneyWorld.com, or log into your My Disney Experience app. Tickets for the 2024 Halloween party will go on sale as early as May 8th for guests with a resort stay during the event, and May 15th for all other guests.

2024 Showtimes and Entertainment

A full list of the showtimes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been shared for 2024.

Here’s a break-down:

• This year, the Boo-To-You Parade will take place each evening of the party at 8:15PM and again at 11:15PM. Last year, the first showing was at 9:15PM, so it’s kicking off a full hour earlier in 2024!

• Max Goof as Powerline — just before the Boo-To-You Parade. Check out Max Goof dressed up as powerline for the first time!

• Disney also announced the showtimes for the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show! The show features pyrotechnics, lasers, and more, and it’s all hosted by Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The fireworks will take place each night at 10PM. Last year, it was 10:15PM, so it’s not a huge change in 2024.

• The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular on the Castle Forecourt Stage – The mischievous Sanderson Sisters from “Hocus Pocus” return to the mortal world during the Halloween season. With only a few hours to run amok, the three sisters decide to use their magic to throw the best evil Halloween party this side of the graveyard!
• From August 9th through September 28th, the show will run each event night at 9:05PM, 10:40PM, and 12AM.
• From September 29th through October 31st, there will be an additional show at 7:40PM, making the full list of showtimes on those dates 7:40PM, 9:05PM, 10:40PM, and 12AM.

American Sign Language interpretation will be offered at select shows and dates, and you can request additional interpretation dates as well. “Send an email [at least 2 weeks in advance] to request additional dates. You will be contacted prior to your visit to verify interpreters are available.”

• Special Disney Character Appearances – Look on the map to find character greeting locations.

Don’t miss out on seeing some special character appearances by The Haunted Mansion!

• Special Attraction Overlays are present on rides like Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Tea Party, and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor throughout the night.

• Cadaver Dans – The Dapper Dans transform into their spooky alter egos and sing Halloween-themed songs in Frontierland. Performances take place at 7PM, 7:45PM, 8:30PM, 9:50PM, and 10:30PM.

Keep in mind that showtimes are subject to change. Be sure to check the times guide/party information during your visit.

Costume Guidelines

While costumed attire may be worn, there are certain rules to keep in mind.

Guests ages 13 and under:

• Disney notes that guests ages 13 and under can wear costumes and some costume masks.
• But, “masks must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.”

Guests 14 Years of Age or Older:

• Guests can dress up as their favorite character, “but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.”
• Costumes have to be family-friendly
• Costumes cannot be “obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.”
• Costumes can’t feature “props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.”
• Costumes can’t have “sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.”
• “Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.”
• Costumes can’t “reach or drag on the ground.”
• Capes are allowed but cannot go below the waist.
• “Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus. Costume headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.”
• “Costume masks of any kind may not be worn.”

  Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks Dessert Premium Package

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will once again offer two dessert party viewing options for the fireworks show — one from a reserved seated area at Tomorrowland Terrace and one from a reserved area of the Plaza Garden. Each offers a dessert buffet and beverages (including some alcoholic options for those over 21), in addition to the exclusive viewing location. 

The Dessert Party costs vary depending on your viewing location for the show.

• Tomorrowland Terrace Viewing (seated) Adults: $114 plus tax; Children $69 plus tax
• Plaza Garden Viewing (standing) Adults: $19 plus tax; Children $59 plus tax

Both parties include treats (like chocolate-dipped strawberries and cupcakes), snacks (like cheeses and seasonal fruits), “ghoulish goodies” created by the team, and drinks (like sparkling beverages, coffee, tea, and lemonade). Alcohol (beer and wine) is available for the 21-and-older crowd.

Check-in for the Tomorrowland Terrace Viewing Dessert Party starts 1 hour before the fireworks. Check-in for the Plaza Garden Viewing Dessert Party starts 1.5 hours before the fireworks. Advance reservations are recommended for both parties and reservations are now open.

Note: Admission to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is separate, so you will pay for the Party as a whole and for the Dessert Party on top of that price.
