10 Reasons to Go to Mickey’s Halloween Party

Sharing is caring!

A few weeks ago right before the hurricane, I went to Disney with my hubby, daughter, and my mom. It was a multigenerational family fun at Mickey’s Halloween Party. We got to the part right around 4 PM so that we could get the most out of our Party passes. The Mickey’s Halloween Party starts at 7 PM, but there is some overlap where you can get in before the fun begins. The cast members give you bands and then directs you so that you can grab you trick or treat bags. Below I am going to dive into why the Mickey’s Halloween Party is awesome and give some tips on preparing for the fun.

Not So Scary

This Halloween party is not so scary, so you can bring your kids and not worry about scaring them. It is a Disney brand scary that makes it fun and spooky and never terrifying. If you are like me, you want your kids to love Halloween not to be terrified by it.

Extend the Halloween Celebration

I don’t know about you, but Halloween is my favorite holidays. I love the idea of extending the celebration beyond just Halloween weekend.

Celebrate Halloween Disney Style

Disney brings a magic to Halloween like they do to everything. You feel the magic of the spirit of Halloween and Disney the entire time.

Adults Wear Costumes to the Magic Kingdom

The Mickey’s Halloween Party is one of the rare occasion when adults can wear costumes to the Magic Kingdom. You can go in full Princess gear without any trouble.

Here are the rules for costumes during the Mickey’s Halloween Party:

While we encourage creativity, we also value safety and good judgment. If you’re planning to attend these special holiday events, take a moment to read over our latest rules and regulations:

Here are some awesome cosplay outfits that are perfect for the Halloween Party:

Skip the Lines

Most of the rides are open during the Halloween party, and the lines are in general shorter than a normal day at the Magic Kingdom.

Massive Amounts of Candy

The candy given out at the trick or treating stations is massive. You will not be dissappointed! Not surprising that Disney is not stingy with the Halloween candy.

Allergy Free Experience

Disney is amazing at allergy avoidance. They take care of people with allergies by giving them a special bag so that the kids and adults with allergies can avoid foods they are allergic to. When people with allergies arrive for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, they can see a Cast Member to pick up a teal treat bag—the official color of food allergy awareness—after entering the event, or from official Allergy-Friendly Centers at Town Square Theater and Heritage House.

Then, when you trick-or-treat with your teal bag, Cast Members will give you a teal token at each treat station. Later on, the guests with allergies can redeem their teal tokens at the Allergy-Friendly Centers to receive special treats!

A Truly Spooktacular Procession

For a limited time, Guests can receive special Halloween-themed Magic Shots and Animated Magic Shots during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Visit any of the following PhotoPass locations in Magic Kingdom park to find out which bewitching Polter-Guests will magically materialize in your photos!

Castle Shows

Happy HalloWishes

Celebrate the hallowed spooky season with a high-flying spider web of spine-tingling pyrotechnic effects and haunting melodies.

The Ghost Host from the Haunted Mansion invites you to “drop in” as Disney Villains light up the night with fireworks and a wicked version of melodies from Disney’s past that echo through the night—and creepy colors crawl over Cinderella Castle.

The “scare-abrasion” gets into full swing when some of the Disney Villains we most love to hate—including Maleficent, Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Jafar and Oogie Boogie—croon their scary tunes and do their best to steal the show.

Happy HalloWishes includes a Disney soundtrack of creepy classics including:

• “Grim Grinning Ghosts,” from the Haunted Mansion attraction
• “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” from The Little Mermaid
• “Never Smile at a Crocodile,“ from Peter Pan
• “The Skeleton Dance,” from Silly Symphony – The Skeleton Dance
• “Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?” from The Three Little Pigs
• “Oogie Boogie’s Song,” from The Nightmare Before Christmas
• “Night on Bald Mountain,” from Fantasia

Get kids costumes for buy one get one 50% off HERE.

Bring your stroller to the party even if your child has not sat it a stroller in years. This party goes until midnight, and your kids are not used to being up this late. I love this upgraded umbrella stroller because it folds easily and has excellent handling. Also, the seat lays all the way down so that your kid can sleep at the end of the night.
