Disney has confirmed the 2026 dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, with the event returning from August through to Halloween night.

The popular after-hours event will run on select nights from August 7 through to October 31, bringing Magic Kingdom to life with trick-or-treat trails, rare characters, and exclusive entertainment you won’t find during the day.

It’s another long run for the event too, with around 38 nights expected across late summer and autumn, giving guests plenty of chances to experience it - whether that’s in the quieter early dates or closer to Halloween when the atmosphere really builds.

Guests can enter from 4pm before the party officially begins at 7pm, giving plenty of time to make the most of shorter wait times, themed ride overlays, and the full lineup of entertainment. That includes the Boo-to-You parade, stage shows across the park, and fireworks that completely transform the castle for the night.

There’s also something new this year, with Disney teasing a Stitch-hosted dance party in Tomorrowland, adding a bit of extra energy alongside the returning favourites.

Tickets go on sale from May 5 for Disney hotel guests, before opening to everyone else on May 12, with prices ranging from $119 (£95) to $229 (£183) depending on the date.

If you’re aiming for that proper Halloween feel, the final stretch of dates is where it peaks - full crowds, full atmosphere, and the park leaning fully into the season. Unsurprisingly, those nights don’t tend to hang around for long once tickets drop.
