Welcome Foolish Mortals! We all have been anxiously waiting for Disney to announce when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be returning this year! Today, we finally got the details to share with you all! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is coming this August through October in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park.
MNSSHP will be held on select nights starting August 11th, 2022. Guests will be allowed to enter the Magic Kingdom at 4pm. This party normally runs through midnight. This event does require the purchase of a MNSSHP Ticket for each guest in your travel party (ages 3+.) Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resorts, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, as well as Shades of Green will be able to purchase their tickets in advance of the general public on April 27th. For all other guests, ticket sales will be available on May 2nd. Ticket pricing varies by party date. Pricing is $109-$199 (plus tax) per person in your party. Available MNSSHP dates can be found below.
If you’ve never been to MNSSHP, here are a few things you can expect from your party night.
1. Trick or Treating
You’ll enjoy a night full of exclusive sweets and trick-or-treating across the park! Trick or treating is also allergy friendly. One of our favorite parts of this party is seeing everyone else’s costumes. While costumes are not required, they do add to the fun. Both adults and children can dress up. So start planning your family’s costumes now. Or search for one of our approved sellers in the group for your Halloween shirts and accessories.
2. Exclusive Parades
To add to the fun, you will see a few different shows and parades throughout the night. The return of a fan favorite, Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. The one and only Headless Horseman leads the way from Frontierland all the way down Main Street USA. There’s nothing like hearing the sound of the horse’s hooves on the cement. This parade is filled with some of your favorite Disney Characters, Princesses and of course Villains. You’ll even find some spooky friends from the infamous attraction, The Haunted Mansion.
3. Halloween themed Fireworks and Nighttime Spectacular
Jack Skellington will host ‘Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular.‘ This nighttime extravaganza will feature your favorite Disney characters, projections, lighting, music, and fireworks. We recommend grabbing a spot early in front of Cinderella Castle so you can see Jack and all the amazing projections. The Sanderson Sisters will be returning for the ‘Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular’ stage show. This show features not just the Sanderson Sisters, but also some of your favorite wicked Disney Villains. The shows are some of the highlights of the evening so be sure to check the map for showtimes throughout your party.
4. Meet & Greets
Come prepared to meet some rare characters. Here’s a list and map from MNSSHP 2022. Keep in mind, characters and locations may change for 2023. We love seeing our favorite Disney friends dressed in their Halloween costumes. This party is one of the only opportunities to meet Jack and Sally. This line can get long. So if this is a priority to you, we recommend you get in line at the start of the party.
5. Attraction overlays
More fun is spread through the park with themed overlays on select attractions. Space Mountain is a whole different experience in the pitch black. You’ll also find heckling pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean. Mad Tea Party will also be filled with fun and colorful lights.
6. Exclusive treats
During the Halloween season you’ll find themed snacks and beverages across the parks, Resorts, and Disney Springs. Disney Parks did release some fun themed snacks you’ll be able to find this season. On party nights, you’ll also find exclusive snacks throughout the park. Check your map to see what’s available and where to find them.
Cait and Steph will be headed to the first party on August 11th. We will be LIVE streaming in Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023 Facebook Group throughout the evening.
