2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates, Information Announced

Halloween is arriving earlier than ever at Disney World. This year, the 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off on August 7, marking the earliest start in the event’s history.

This fan-favorite, limited-capacity event transforms Magic Kingdom into a whimsical, macabre wonderland. The 2026 schedule features 38 select nights running through October 31.

While the dates are locked in (see below), official pricing remains a mystery for now. Disney has confirmed that ticket prices will vary by date, traditionally increasing as Halloween night approaches.

The 2025 part saw prices from $119 to $229 per ticket. This was a significant jump in price on the high end for peak nights. The 2024 tickets ranged from $119 to $199.

New Magic and Returning Favorites

While classic traditions are back, Disney is introducing a new twist to the moonlight. Stitch is taking center stage at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. Alongside Lilo and Angel, the galaxy’s favorite experiment will host an ever-changing dance party. Since Stitch has raided Lilo’s costume trunk, every accessory he pulls out triggers a complete theme swap, keeping the energy unpredictable all night long.

Beloved entertainment returning for 2026 includes:

• Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade: Catch waltzing ghosts and the Headless Horseman at a special 8:15 p.m. start time—ideal for families with little ghouls.
• Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular: The Sanderson Sisters return to the Cinderella Castle stage to conjure a nefarious celebration alongside iconic villains like Hades and Maleficent.
• Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular: A state-of-the-art projection and fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington.
• The Cadaver Dans: The undead barbershop quartet will once again bring their “soulful” harmonies to Liberty Square.

Unlimited trick-or-treating remains a major draw. Guests of all ages receive a complimentary treat bag to fill with Mars Wrigley favorites at over a dozen stations. Keep your eyes peeled; Disney teased that “familiar and fiendish faces” might surprise guests along the candy trails this year.

For the ultimate photo op, head to Town Square Theater where Mickey and Minnie will greet guests together in brand-new Halloween attire. Other rare appearances include Jack Skellington and Sally, Winnie the Pooh in his bumblebee suit, and various villains lurking in the shadows.
