If you’re attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, there are a few experiences you absolutely won’t want to miss. While many of the party favorites are returning in 2026, there are also some exciting new additions to add to your Halloween itinerary.
Catch the Classic Entertainment
Two of the party’s biggest entertainment staples are back for 2026: Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade and Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular.
The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular first debuted in 2015 and has been a party favorite ever since. The Sanderson Sisters take over the Cinderella Castle Stage multiple times throughout the night, bringing Disney villains, dancers, projections and special effects together for a spellbinding celebration.
Then there’s Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, which travels through Magic Kingdom twice each night. The first performance typically takes place around nightfall, making it a popular choice for guests who want to experience the parade early. If you’re willing to stay later, however, the second parade can be a much easier opportunity to find a good viewing spot. Keep an eye out for the Headless Horseman, Mickey and Minnie in their Halloween costumes, Disney villains and the spooky residents of the Haunted Mansion.
Set Sail With Captain Jack Sparrow
Another new 2026 offering takes guests to Adventureland, where Captain Jack Sparrow has dropped anchor for a series of pirate antics. Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash brings some interactive pirate fun to the party and is an easy addition to your itinerary while exploring Adventureland.
Get Your Groove On
For fans of Descendants, head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café for the DescenDANCE Party. This high-energy dance party features music inspired by the Descendants franchise and is a fun way to take a break from walking around the park while still enjoying the Halloween party atmosphere. The DescenDANCE Party has been part of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in previous years, so it’s a great choice for returning fans of the franchise.
New in 2026, Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup brings Lilo and Angel to Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. Stitch gets into Lilo’s Costume Trunk and, as he tries on different accessories, the theme of the party changes throughout the evening. It’s a fun new addition if you’re looking for something a little more interactive than a traditional stage show.
Party-Exclusive Magic Shots
Be sure to stop by Disney PhotoPass photographers on Main Street, U.S.A. for a little extra Halloween magic! During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, photographers offer party-exclusive Magic Shots and themed props that you won’t be able to capture on your own. These spooky effects are a fun way to bring a little extra Halloween magic to your party photos, so be sure to ask your PhotoPass photographer which Magic Shots are available that night!
Shop the Halloween Merchandise
Finally, leave a little time for shopping. Throughout Magic Kingdom, you’ll find seasonal merchandise, including popular collections like the pink ghost merchandise. There is also Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party-exclusive merchandise, which is only available to party guests and changes from year to year. Disney notes that event merchandise is available while supplies last, so if there’s something you really want, don’t wait until the end of the night to shop.
With classic entertainment, new character experiences, plenty of candy and exclusive merchandise, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party offers more than enough to fill an evening!
