What Is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (often shortened to MNSSHP by anyone who's had to type it more than twice) is a separately ticketed evening event held at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, Florida. It runs on select nights between mid-August and early November, and it's not included in your standard park admission or Disney Magic Tickets - you'll need a ticket specifically for the party.
The event officially runs from 7pm to midnight, though party-goers with a valid MNSSHP ticket can enter Magic Kingdom from 4pm on the day. That early entry is worth factoring into the value if you're not already using the Disney Magic Tickets.
Here's what's included with your ticket:
- Trick-or-treat trails with free sweets throughout the park
- Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade - runs twice a night
- Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Fireworks show
- Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show at Cinderella Castle
- Character meet and greets in rare or exclusive Halloween costumes
- Lower queue times than a normal park day, as overall capacity is reduced
Party Tickets Overview For 2026
Disney has confirmed the dates and pricing for the 2026 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Tickets range from $119 to $229 per person plus tax when bought directly from Disney - no price increase from 2025. Through a UK vendor, tickets start from around £97 depending on the date.
The price variation across dates is worth paying attention to. An August weeknight is noticeably cheaper than a late-October weekend, and for a family booking multiple tickets, that gap adds up quickly.

When Do Tickets Go On Sale?
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 tickets went on sale 5th May for guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, and 12th May for everyone else.
Don't panic if you missed the initial on-sale date. The first party night of the season and Halloween night itself (31st October) tend to go faster than others, but most dates have availability for weeks or months after going on sale. Every date eventually sells out, but there's generally no need to rush unless you have your heart set on a specific night - particularly the 31st, which always sells.
Which Date Should I Book?
This is one of the most common questions and the honest answer is: it depends on your priorities.
- Cheaper nights tend to be earlier in the season - mid-August and September parties are often noticeably cheaper than October dates.
- Busier nights are typically weekends and anything close to 31st October. A midweek night in September is often a better bet if shorter queues matter to you.
- UK school half-term falls in late October, so if you're travelling during that period, expect both the park and ticket prices to reflect it - you won't be the only British family who had the same thought.
- Atmosphere tends to peak in October - the decorations, the number of people in costume, and the general vibe builds as Halloween gets closer, even if it comes with a busier and pricier experience.
If budget is the main driver, earlier and midweek will save you money. If atmosphere matters more, late October is usually worth the premium - just book ahead and accept that it'll be busy.
How To Book MNSSHP Tickets From The UK
Booking some Walt Disney World experiences from the UK is more complicated than it ought to be. Disney restricts certain bookings for UK residents on their US website - the most commonly cited reason is GDPR compliance, though Disney have never been particularly forthcoming about it. The three main options for UK visitors are below.
Option 1 - Buy Tickets From a UK Vendor
This is the recommended route for most UK visitors. UK ticket vendors like FloridaTix and Attraction Tickets sell Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets, which means you can pay in pounds with familiar payment methods and proper UK consumer protections behind you.
FloridaTix is the priority pick here - they stock party tickets across multiple dates and tickets are already discounted, no code needed. Check availability and book through FloridaTix here.
Depending on the exchange rate on the day, booking through a UK vendor can sometimes work out cheaper than buying directly through Disney - so it's always worth comparing both before committing.
Option 2 - Use a VPN
If you'd rather buy directly from Disney's US website, you'll need a VPN to get around the regional restriction. A VPN lets your browser appear to be located in the US, which unlocks the booking. There's a full guide on using a VPN to make Walt Disney World bookings on this site if you want the step-by-step. It works, but it's more involved - if you're not comfortable with it, Option 1 is simpler and often cheaper anyway.
Option 3 - Call Disney Direct
You can call Disney's UK line on 0800 08 50 582 to book your party tickets over the phone. It's not the quickest option but it's perfectly valid - you'll be booking direct with Disney without needing a VPN or a third-party site. Ticket prices may still be higher than Option 1 depending on the exchange rate.
Is There a Mickey's Not-So-Scary Discount Code?
Code SUMMER15 is available when booking through FloridaTix.
As mentioned above, depending on the exchange rate, it can sometimes work out cheaper through a UK vendor even before the discount is applied - so it's worth doing the maths on both before you buy.

Can You Wear a Costume to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
Yes - and this is one of the things that actually sets MNSSHP apart from a regular day in the parks. Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the very few occasions where adults are actively encouraged to dress up at Disney. On a normal park day, adult costumes are generally not permitted - this event is the exception.
Disney does have guidelines around what's acceptable, and these tend to be updated each year. As a general rule, masks that fully cover the face aren't permitted for adults, and anything that could be mistaken for a cast member costume is off the table. Worth checking Disney's own costume guidelines before you start packing your outfit - the specifics do get tweaked from season to season.
For children, costumes are very much part of the point. Kids arriving in full Halloween outfits for trick-or-treating is one of those things that tends to make the night for younger guests - and for the parents watching them. If you're travelling with little ones, building the costume planning into the pre-trip excitement tends to go down well.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Night
A few things worth knowing, particularly for UK visitors who've already spent a significant amount getting to Florida and want every hour to count.
- Use the 4pm entry - don't treat the party as a 7pm start. Getting in early means lighter queues on the rides before the main crowd arrives. If you've had a rest day or a lighter park day, this can add a meaningful chunk of extra time.
- Hit character meets early. Some of the villain characters that only appear at MNSSHP are a draw for a reason, and queues build quickly. Getting in line before 6pm makes a real difference.
- Do the trick-or-treat stations while you have energy. They're spread around the park and easy to keep saying "we'll do that later" - do them in the first couple of hours rather than leaving it until you're fading.
- The Boo-to-You parade runs twice - check the schedule on the night. The later showing sometimes has a slightly shorter crowd, though jet lag may have other plans by that point.
- Watch Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular at least once. It's a stage show at Cinderella Castle that's exclusive to the party. Worth a look even if stage shows aren't usually your thing.
- Don't stack a full park day immediately before the party. If you've spent all day at EPCOT (another of the Walt Disney World parks, around 15 minutes from Magic Kingdom) and then head straight to the party, you'll run out of steam around 9pm. The party runs until midnight - pace yourself to actually last that long.
- August parties are still hot. Florida in August is humid even after dark, which is worth knowing before you plan a heavily layered costume for an evening event. September onwards tends to be more comfortable.
Is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Worth It For UK Visitors?
This is a fair question given the price. You've already spent a significant amount getting to Florida from the UK, and adding £100+ per person on top of park tickets isn't nothing.
The honest answer is that it often depends on what kind of Disney visitor you are:
- If you're a first-timer - it's worth considering, but it's not essential. Your days in the parks will give you plenty. That said, if your trip overlaps with the party season, one night can be a real highlight of the whole trip.
- If you've done the parks before - the party format gives you something different. Lower crowds, exclusive entertainment, and the novelty of trick-or-treating around Magic Kingdom at midnight tends to land well the second or third time round.
- If you're travelling with children - kids in costume, free sweets, and character meets in Halloween outfits is one of those evenings that gets talked about long after you get home. Often the part of the trip they remember most.
- If it's a solo or adult-only trip - still worth it, arguably more so. The park atmosphere on a party night has its own energy, and the fireworks show is one of Disney's better ones.
The cheaper dates in August and September offer better value if budget is the deciding factor. Have a look at the Walt Disney World deals guide for UK guests for more ways to keep the overall trip cost down.

For 2026, tickets start from around £97 through a UK vendor, depending on the date and the exchange rate at the time of booking. US prices range from $119 to $229 plus tax. Earlier dates in August and September are typically cheaper than October nights.

Is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party included in park tickets?

Will Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets sell out?
Every party night eventually sells out, but most dates remain available for weeks or months after going on sale. The first date of the season and Halloween night on 31st October tend to go fastest. Booking ahead is sensible, but there is generally no need to rush unless you are set on a specific popular night.
Which date is best to book for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
For lower prices and shorter queues, midweek nights in August or September are usually the best option. For atmosphere, late October is worth the premium but will be busier and more expensive. UK visitors travelling during October half-term should expect higher prices and larger crowds.

Discount code SUMMER15 is available when you book through FloridaTix. Depending on the exchange rate, UK vendor pricing can sometimes work out cheaper than buying direct from Disney even before the discount is applied.
Can adults wear costumes to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
Yes - MNSSHP is one of the few Disney events where adult costumes are actively encouraged. Disney does have guidelines on what is permitted - full-face masks and cast member-style costumes are generally not allowed for adults - and these can change each year, so it is worth checking Disney's official costume policy before you travel.
Is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party suitable for young children?
Yes - the party is suitable for all ages. Trick-or-treat trails, character meets in Halloween costumes, and the parade tend to go down well with young children. The main thing to bear in mind is that the event runs until midnight, so younger children may tire well before the fireworks. Using the 4pm early entry and working through the key activities first gives families the option to leave earlier without feeling like they have missed the main event.
Is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party worth it for UK visitors?
For many UK visitors it is, though it depends on the type of trip. The party offers lower crowd levels, exclusive entertainment, and a different atmosphere to a standard park day. It tends to be particularly popular with families travelling with children, and with guests who have visited the parks before and want something different. Those on a tighter budget may find earlier season dates in August or September offer better value.
