Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starts this week at Magic Kingdom

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the popular separately ticketed seasonal event, returns to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom park on 29 select nights starting September 2 through October 31.

Magic Kingdom Park will host the slightly spooky after-hours party from 7 p.m. – midnight on select nights between this Friday and Halloween night. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party features Disney characters donning Halloween costumes, while partygoers navigate treat trails collecting candy throughout a Magic Kingdom themed out for the season. Partygoers can dress up in Halloween costumes and ride their favorite Magic Kingdom attractions.

Entertainment features the twice-nightly “Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade,” and “HalloWishes,” a green and orange fireworks spectacle complete with Disney villains, caps the evening festivities. Returning for a second year, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show brings together Disney Villains and the mischievous Sanderson sisters three times each party night.

Party dates for 2016 are: September 2, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 29 & 30 and October 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30 & 31. Guests may visit Disneyworld.com/Halloween for party dates and prices, or call 407-W-DISNEY.
