Walt Disney World has released more details for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026, confirming the schedule for the event’s biggest nighttime entertainment offerings. Guests attending this year’s Halloween celebration at Magic Kingdom now know when to expect the returning fan-favourite parade and fireworks spectacular, while reservations have also opened for the popular Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party continues to be one of the most popular seasonal events at Walt Disney World, transforming Magic Kingdom into a Halloween celebration filled with themed entertainment, character appearances, exclusive attractions, trick-or-treating and special food offerings.

The evening’s signature parade, Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, will return in 2026 with its first showing scheduled for 8:15pm. The parade remains a must-see for many guests, bringing Halloween magic to the streets of Magic Kingdom with colourful floats, Disney characters dressed in their Halloween costumes, the iconic Grim Grinning Ghosts soundtrack and the dramatic arrival of the Headless Horseman riding ahead of the procession.

A second performance of the parade is typically offered later in the evening, giving guests another opportunity to experience the Halloween spectacular. Guests hoping to see the Headless Horseman are encouraged to arrive early, as the parade route can become busy well before showtime.

Later in the evening, guests can enjoy Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, the Halloween fireworks spectacular hosted by Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The show is scheduled for 10:00pm during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights and combines fireworks, projections, lighting effects and storytelling around Cinderella Castle.

The spectacular follows Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy as they encounter a Halloween adventure involving ghosts, villains and spooky surprises. Jack Skellington guides guests through the experience, making the show a unique addition to the Magic Kingdom fireworks lineup and one of the highlights of the Halloween party.

For guests looking to enjoy the fireworks with reserved viewing and Halloween-themed treats, bookings are now available for the Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party.

Two dessert party options are available, giving guests a choice between a Tomorrowland Terrace viewing location or a Plaza Garden viewing area. Both experiences include a selection of desserts and snacks inspired by the Halloween season, along with a dedicated viewing location for the fireworks.

The dessert party provides a way to take a break from the crowds while still enjoying one of the biggest moments of the evening. Guests should note that a separate Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket is required, as the dessert party reservation does not include event admission.

With the entertainment schedule now confirmed and dessert party reservations open, guests can begin planning their 2026 Halloween party nights. Arriving early, choosing viewing spots carefully and building the evening around the parade and fireworks schedule will help make the most of the limited-time event.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 will once again bring exclusive Halloween entertainment, rare character experiences, themed attractions and seasonal treats to Magic Kingdom, making it one of the highlights of Walt Disney World’s autumn calendar.
