Character guide for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2024

Spooky season has officially returned to Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. If you’re looking for Disney characters at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you’ll find plenty of them, from Disney villains (Maleficent!) to kind-hearted friends who get a bad rap (Bruno!), and, of course, your party host himself, Mickey Mouse.

(Check out our previous story for an overview of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.)

Distanced character sightings at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

During distanced character sightings, characters stand on an elevated platform away from guests and interact with partygoers from above. You can talk to the characters and take a selfie, but you won’t be able to pose with them for a photo or retrieve autographs like you would during a traditional meet & greet. (Think covid-era character greetings and you’re on the right track.)

Distanced characters at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are not listed in the My Disney Experience app; as such, we’ve linked to reports of the characters’ sightings from our friends at MouseSteps.com.

Traditional meet & greets at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Traditional meet & greets involve standing in a line and waiting your turn for an individualized moment with the characters, including photos and hugs. Due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party being a special event, characters may or may not sign autographs.

Character greeting times and specific locations can be found in the My Disney Experience app, but only while Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is happening. This means if you look at the app earlier in the day, the map won’t display the party characters yet. (It also means if you’re planning an upcoming trip, open the app on a party night to get a lay of the land.)
