Walt Disney World has officially revealed the dates for the 2026 season of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This fan-favorite event returns to Magic Kingdom with a record-breaking start date of August 7. This marks the earliest the party has ever begun in resort history. Spooky season will run for 38 select nights, concluding with the grand finale on October 31.
Full Schedule and Booking Info
The 2026 schedule offers plenty of opportunities for guests to celebrate across three months. August features nine party nights, followed by thirteen in September and sixteen in October. Tickets go on sale to the general public on May 12, 2026. However, guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels can secure their spots early starting May 5. Planning ahead is vital as popular dates like Halloween and the season opener typically sell out fast.
Pricing and Ticket Value
Ticket prices for the 2026 season range from $119 to $229 per person. Prices vary based on the date, with weekends and dates closer to Halloween costing more. While the party officially begins at 7:00 PM, ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM. This early entry allows guests to enjoy the park for three hours before the spooky festivities begin. This added value makes the event a popular choice for many families.
New Stitch Intergalactic Dance Party
A brand-new entertainment offering debuts this year in Tomorrowland. Stitch’s “Intergalactic” Dance Party will take over the Rockettower Plaza Stage. This high-energy show features Stitch, Lilo, and Angel in a unique “theme swap” format. As Stitch tries on different accessories from a costume trunk, the music and vibe of the party shift instantly. This adds a fresh, dynamic element to the Tomorrowland dance party experience.
Returning Halloween Classics
Many iconic traditions will return to delight guests throughout the night. Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade once again features the Headless Horseman and the beloved Hitchhiking Ghosts. Jack Skellington returns to host Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a massive fireworks display over Cinderella Castle. Additionally, the Sanderson Sisters will take the stage for the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular. Fans can also look forward to trick-or-treat trails and exclusive character meet-and-greets.
