Walt Disney World has confirmed the entertainment offerings for the 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party season at Magic Kingdom, including the return of fan-favorites.

Characters

Jack Skellington and Sally dance in a spooky graveyard under an orange moon at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

This year’s event will feature character greetings, as usual, like Jack Skellington and Sally, Mickey and Friends, Disney Villains roaming the streets (new this year), and more. Festive royal couples ready to say hello are Ariel and Eric and Aladdin and Jasmine.

Boo To You Parade

Performers lead Mickey’s Boo To You Parade at the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, with glowing castle and crowds behind.

Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade will return this year. This parade features a procession of waltzing ghosts, Disney Villains, Disney Princesses, and more. In 2026, the Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade will again take place at 8:15 PM to allow plenty of time for little ones to enjoy the celebration.

Check out our video of the parade from 2024:

More Entertainment

New this year, Stitch is hosting an ever-changing dance party at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland with the help of his friends Lilo and Angel. After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, every accessory he tries on will spark a theme swap and keep the party playfully unpredictable all night long. It’s called “A Masquerade with Stitch.”

Disney villains perform at night on a castle stage during the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, with fire and spooky decor.

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular will also return this year, with Winifred, Sarah, and Mary ready to cast another spell with the help of Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and the Evil Queen.

Watch our video of the stage show from 2025:

Cinderella Castle will also transform with the projection show, Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular. In this show, guests will see Jack Skellington transform Cinderella Castle into a haunted house, with Zero leading Mickey and Friends inside to see what awaits them.

This show will feature projections on Cinderella Castle alongside fireworks in the sky above. Villains featured in the show include Ursula, the Queen of Hearts, and Oogie Boogie.
