Review: Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Have you been to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party? Are you wondering if it might be for you?

I attended this Walt Disney World event last year for the first time. I had not been to Walt Disney World in more than 15 years so I had to “relearn” Magic Kingdom.

This party is a good fit for adults who love Disney and Halloween (naturally!) but who also prefer their Halloween to be less about frights and more about traditions, like treat or treating, jack o’lanterns and haunted houses.

Features of this event include a Halloween parade, Hocus Pocus-themed stage show, free candy at more than 15 treat stations, costumed characters and party-exclusive food and merchandise, plus Magic Kingdom rides.

Where to See all the Characters at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Are you going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World this year? You’re going to have a wonderful time! A big part of the festivities is seeing lots of Disney characters. At the park entrance, you’ll receive a map and brochure indicating all the characters that will be appearing at the Party — but the brochure and map is not very specific about the details.  No worries — you can see them here!

Free, Printable Cheat Sheet

Take note of which characters you can “view” as opposed to those you can “meet and greet” (take pictures with and get autographs). The characters that only appear outdoors usually do not appear when it is raining. So, you may wish to prioritize seeing characters that appear indoors when it rains.

Keep in mind that you’ll see even more characters in the Boo to You Parade, like Captain Hook, Jafar, Snow White, Rapunzel, Chip and Dale (and more). The eerie Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog) makes a terrific appearance in the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular!
