The second parade generally offers a better opportunity for guests hoping to encounter lighter crowds, particularly as families with younger children begin leaving after the fireworks.
Additional entertainment available tonight
New for 2026, Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup brings Stitch, Lilo and Angel to the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. Stitch’s trips into Lilo’s costume trunk spark changing themes, accessories and music throughout the evening.

Weather for Aug. 25
Guests attending the Aug. 25 party should prepare for a possible evening shower or thunderstorm. The National Weather Service places the greatest rain risk at 7and 8 p.m., with conditions expected to improve later in the evening. That could affect the first “Boo-To-You” parade at 8:15 p.m., while the 10 p.m. fireworks and 11:15 p.m. parade currently have a better chance of remaining dry. Outdoor entertainment may be delayed, modified or canceled because of weather.
Temperatures will be slightly lower than this year’s earlier parties.
Guests should monitor the My Disney Experience app and announcements inside Magic Kingdom for the latest information. Entertainment schedules remain subject to change.
Tonight’s party is sold out. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party continues on 38 select nights through Oct. 31, with tickets ranging from $119 to $229 before tax.
