What is Mickey’s No So Scary Halloween Party?
Since 1995, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party has been Walt Disney World’s premier Halloween event! Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event held at Magic Kingdom in the fall at Walt Disney World that runs officially from 7:00 pm – midnight on select MNSSHP party nights.
This fan-favorite Disney Halloween party is a “not-so-scary” family-friendly event and very appropriate for children of all ages with Halloween stage shows, entertainment, unique character meet and greet opportunities, seasonal Halloween overlays on selected attractions, trick or treating stations, the “Boo to You” parade, special fireworks and more!
What time does Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party start?
The party officially starts at 7:00 pm and takes over all of Magic Kingdom theme park. Mickey’s No Scary Halloween party officially ends at
midnight, but you can enjoy the last show which begins at 12 am, meander a bit and shop.
MNSSHP guests do not need separate theme park admission or Park Pass reservations for the party, and you will be able to enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 pm with your Halloween party ticket. You will receive your wristband at the Magic Kingdom entrance.
On Halloween party days, the Magic Kingdom theme park closes to the public at 6:00 pm. If you are planning to be in Magic Kingdom before 4pm, you will need “normal” theme park admission. Thankfully, you will not have to exit the park to receive your party wristbands at designated pickup locations inside the park which will allow you to stay inside the park for the party if you have also purchased a party ticket.
A well-received and Mom Approved adjustment to the party that happened in 2024: the first Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade started an hour earlier at 8:15pm so that littles who don’t want to stay up late can view the parade!

How much does it cost to go to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party?
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party is NOT included with regular theme park admission, so you will need a separate ticket for the party.
While we do not have pricing yet for 2025 tickets, in 2024 Halloween party tickets cost $119 – $199 each. Pricing will vary based on the dates you are attending, and for who is going with you. Prime dates and weekends will price a little higher. As a rule of thumb, the earlier in the Halloween season at Disney you attend, the lower your tickets will be. An exception to this is the first event of the season, when many avid Disney Halloween Party fans want to be the first ones to experience it!
Guests over 10 years old are considered “adults” and children ages 3-9 typically will cost approximately $10 less per ticket. Children 2 and under do not require a ticket for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
