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:

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.

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.

People lining up at the event and day entrances, separated by fences with signs indicating "Event Entrance" to the left and "Day Entrance" to the right.

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.

A standing sign reads "Wristband Distribution" for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, positioned on a concrete walkway near a building.

Guests who are already at the park at the time of the mix-in can pick up their wristbands from the following locations:
