Costume Guidelines
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the few times that guests over the age of 14 are allowed to wear costumes in Magic Kingdom. Read Disney’s full guidelines below:
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.
Ages 14 and 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 the above 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.
- Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus. Costume headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.
- Costume masks of any kind may not be worn.
Arrival
Guests can enter Magic Kingdom on their party day as early as 4 p.m. ET and present valid admission to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in order to receive their event wristband.
Ribbon bracelets returned once again this year. Last year, they replaced plastic bracelets.
New for this year, if you arrive before the mix-in time to enter Magic Kingdom early for the party, you’ll be directed to wait in corrals until closer to 4 p.m.
At 7 p.m., regular park guests without admission to the event are escorted out of the park, and only guests with wristbands are allowed to stay.
Guests who are already at the park at the time of the mix-in can pick up their wristbands from the following locations:
- Tortuga Treasures
- Mickey’s Philharmagic
- The former Stitch’s Great Escape
We recommend stopping by the welcome trail in the Magic Kingdom Main Street bypass path to pick up your first treat of the night, even if you’re already in the park by the time the party starts.
You can also pick up a map to show you exactly where every party offering is located (or look at our full breakdown of the map).
Trick or Treat Trails
Each guest receives a complimentary trick-or-treat bag when attending the party. This year, the bag features Mickey and Minnie in their new costumes for this year.
There are 15 trick or treat trails woven throughout the park. You can easily spot them by looking for their inflatable totems, as seen above. They also light up at night.
Those looking for an allergy-friendly experience can pick up the teal treat bag from a Cast Member when entering the park.
Rather than receiving candy at the trick-or-treat locations, guests with the allergy-friendly bag will be handed teal tokens that can be exchanged at one of two Allergy-Friendly Centers, located in the Liberty Square Ticket Office and the Chamber of Commerce on Main Street, U.S.A.
Treats available include:
- Smarties
- Remy’s Grahams
- Birthday Cake Granola
- Organic Fruit Snacks
- Gummy Bears
- Werther’s Hard Caramels Sugar-Free
- Organic Pops
- Dark Chocolate Sun Cups
- Ricemilk Crunch Chocolate Bar
- Dark Chocolate Bar

A Halloween Mickey pumpkin popcorn bucket originally revealed for Disneyland Resort made an unexpected debut at Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
The “Hocus Pocus” Minnie Mouse sipper first released at Disneyland Resort last year also made its way to Walt Disney World for this year’s Halloween season. This sipper is available exclusively during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Outside of the parties, there is also a large collection of Halloween merchandise available during regular park hours across Walt Disney World Resort.
In addition, a “Hocus Pocus”-inspired collection is also new for this year.
Photo Ops
There are three step-in photo ops for this year, and all are returning from previous years of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
The “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” photo op is located near Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland.
The photo op for “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is located near the parade route, in the Cinderella Castle hun across from Tomorrowland Terrace.
Finally, a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride photo op is located in Storybook Circus.

Exclusively during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, both the newly opened Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run utilize standby queues for guests to ride without purchasing a Lightning Lane or trying their luck at virtual queue. This is the first time that a standby wait has been offered in any capacity for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Happy Halloween!
