Our HONEST review of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! 👻🎃
We went a couple of weeks ago, and I can officially say… we LOVED it. And honestly, I wasn’t expecting some of the things we ended up loving the most!
FIRST, what exactly is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
It’s a special separately ticketed Halloween event at Magic Kingdom held on select nights during the fall. Once the party starts, the park transforms into a full-on Halloween celebration with special entertainment, characters you don’t normally see, trick-or-treating throughout the park, Halloween treats, costumes, decorations, and shorter wait times for many attractions.
⬇️Here’s what our favorite things were:
👿 Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
My oldest is super into the Disney villains, so getting to see so many of them out and about was a HUGE hit. There’s something about seeing the villains in Halloween mode that just makes the whole night feel extra fun.
The Hocus Pocus show at the castle was probably one of my favorite parts. It’s one of those things that feels very “Disney Halloween” and was absolutely worth staying for.
ASK ME ABOUT OUR PLANNING TIP FOR THIS!
🎢 THE RIDE WAIT TIMES
This might honestly be one of the biggest perks. 😂 Everything we rode was basically 5–20 minutes. Being able to walk onto rides all night instead of spending half the party standing in line? YES PLEASE.
🍬 Trick-or-treat trails
While this is so fun, it was pretty low on our priority list. BUT The boys had a blast going through the different trails and collecting candy… and apparently we collected enough because we are STILL eating it. 😂🍭
🎃 And it really is “Not-So-Scary.”
If you have younger kids who love Halloween but aren’t ready for anything *too* creepy, I think this is such a fun middle ground. There are spooky elements, villains and Halloween entertainment, but it still feels very kid-friendly with the regular characters you know and love. (Extra points from my family for the Powerline Max sighting- IYKYK! ⚡️)
🎟️ It is a separate-ticket event, so if you're planning a Disney trip and wondering whether it's worth adding, that's actually something I'd be happy to help you figure out. It isn't automatically the right choice for every family or every trip!
But for our family?
10/10. Would eat questionable amounts of Halloween candy and run on rides all night all over again. 😂🎃
