Costume Guidelines

As always, proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. Disney reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other guests.

Costumes are not usually allowed at Disney but Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is an exception. Here are the specific costume rules.

For Guests ages 13 and under:
Costumes and some costume masks may be worn; masks must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.

For Guests 14 Years of Age or Older:
Costumes may be worn according to these guidelines. Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from Disney parks, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet these standards.

• All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.
• Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
• Costumes may not contain any props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
• Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.
• Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses) 
• Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist. 
• Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats are acceptable.

• Costume masks of any kind may not be worn.

New Cast Member Costumes

Controversially, Disney debuted new costumes for Cast Members working Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Weather Policy

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will not be canceled just because of rain. Some attractions may temporarily stop operating during inclement weather, which typically entails conditions such as heavy rain or lightning in the area. Indoor attractions may offer guests a place to continue enjoying the party while a passing storm moves through Central Florida.

Outdoor entertainment is also subject to modification, delay, or cancellation. This includes Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks, and other performances presented outside. Disney’s ticket terms specify that entertainment may be canceled because of inclement weather and that refunds will not be issued solely because an entertainment offering does not take place.

Trick-or-treat trails are expected to remain available during inclement weather, allowing guests to continue collecting candy around Magic Kingdom.

The Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to have below-normal activity, but if a hurricane leads to the event being canceled, ticket-holders would be issued refunds.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Wristband

Party guests all get a wristband designating they have a ticket for the event. This year, the band reads “31 Fang-tastic Years.” The color of the wristband changes each night.

On your way into the park, you can also grab a map. This includes lists of trick-or-treat locations, character meet and greets, special entertainment, and more.

Trick-or-Treating at Magic Kingdom

All Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party guests receive a complimentary treat bag, although you can also bring your own from home.

Guests with food allergies can request a teal-colored bag and collect allergy-friendly treats or tokens redeemable for a wider selection at designated allergy-friendly centers.

Trick-or-treat locations are marked on the map with orange jack-o’-lantern buckets while allergy locations are marked with teal jack-o’-lantern buckets.

Find trick-or-treating in-person by looking for large blow-up illuminated Mars Wrigley-branded pillars.

Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade

The parade is performed at 8:15 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. during each party. In the case of adverse weather, a smaller “rainy day” version may be performed. It features Mickey and Friends, Haunted Mansion characters, Disney Villains, and more! There were minor changes this year, eliminating the last “risqué” elements of the parade.

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular Fireworks

This nighttime spectacular includes fireworks, castle projections, and a giant Jack Skellington puppet. It’s performed at 10 p.m. every event night, weather permitting.

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is performed on the Cinderella Castle stage at 9:05 p.m., 10:35 p.m., and 11:59 p.m. every event night. Beginning October 1, it will add 7:35 p.m. performances. It is subject to changes or cancelation based on weather.

Character Meet and Greets

During Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, guests can meet rare characters and characters in Halloween costumes. New this year is a Chip ‘n’ Dale meet and greet near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Several characters are in new locations. Check out the full list of character meet and greets at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

When the Market Street Welcome path is open before 8 p.m., guests will encounter The Haunted Mansion characters, including the gravediggers from the parade.

Dance Parties & Character Experiences

New this year is Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. From 7 p.m. to midnight, Stitch hosts an ever-changing masquerade with Angel and Lilo. After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, every accessory he tries on sparks a theme swap—keeping the party playfully unpredictable all night long.

Another new experience is Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash. Taking place on the Adventureland Stage across from Pirates of the Caribbean, this show rotates through different performances with audience interaction, live music, juggling, and surprise appearance by Captain Barbossa. Watch the first show below.

Formerly a pre-parade, Max’s Powerline performance is a roaming stage show again this year. Watch our video below.

Rock out at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café during a the Destination DescenDANCE Party with music and dance moves inspired by the Descendants movies.
