Going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for the first time? 🎃👻
There is A LOT happening during the party, and you are absolutely not going to do all of it in one night.
So go in knowing your priorities!
If it were my first party, these are the things I would make sure were on my list:
👻 Boo-to-You Halloween Parade — an absolute must for me. The Headless Horseman, the Haunted Mansion performers, the music…I LOVE this parade.
🧙♀️ Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular — especially if you’re a Hocus Pocus fan. The Sanderson Sisters + Cinderella Castle at Halloween? Yes.
🚀 Party attraction overlays — some attractions get a Halloween twist just for the party, so don’t assume everything is the same as a regular park day.
🍬 Trick-or-treating — and yes, the adults get bags too. 😂 You will leave with WAY more candy than you think.
🎃 Characters + party-exclusive food — this is where I’d really look ahead and decide what matters to you. Some character lines can get LONG, and you don’t want to spend half your party waiting for someone who wasn’t even a must-do.
My biggest piece of advice?
Please don’t go into the party trying to do every ride AND every character AND every show AND every treat trail. You’ll spend the entire night watching the clock.
Pick the things you would be genuinely disappointed to miss and build your night around those.
And leave yourself some time to just enjoy Magic Kingdom at Halloween. The atmosphere is half the fun. 🎃🏰
