If you’ve never been to MNSSHP, here are a few things you can expect from your party night.
1. Trick or Treating
Prepare for an evening filled with exclusive treats and trick-or-treating throughout the park! Trick or treating is also allergy-friendly, ensuring everyone can partake in the festivities. While dressing up isn’t mandatory, it certainly adds to the fun for both adults and children. So start planning your family’s costumes now. We love seeing all the costumes every year. If dressing up isn’t on your to-do list, search for one of our approved sellers in the group for your Halloween shirts and accessories.
2. Exclusive Parades
To add to the festivities, 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. We love seeing our favorite Disney friends dressed in their Halloween costumes. Characters that do Meet & Greets at this event do sometimes vary by year. This party is also one of the only opportunities to meet Jack and Sally. These lines can get long so if these are a priority to you, we recommend you get in line at the start of the party or towards the end of the party.
5. Attraction overlays
There is plenty to do during the party as most of your favorite attractions will be open throughout the night. To add to the excitement, themed overlays transform select attractions across the park.

Additionally, Mad Tea Party becomes a lively spectacle with an array of vibrant and playful lights.
