During this special event, guests are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes and kids can trick-or-treat for candy throughout the theme park. There are also special Halloween food and beverage items available for purchase that are exclusive to the event.

The entertainment during this event is also top-notch. From Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a Halloween fireworks show, to Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, there’s an entire schedule of exciting Halloween entertainment for party guests. 

NEW FOR 2025

Meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse together at Town Square Theater (usually Mickey is on his own, so this is a special treat for 2025). Rediscover Storybook Circus, which is transformed into a happy haunt for families with younger children.

And have monstrous fun at a dance party inspired by the new film ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires.

Characters are also dressed up in their Halloween best for photo ops throughout the park, and attractions are open with shorter wait times than during a normal park day.

More Disney Villian characters will be around throughout the party for photo opportunities and spooky fun.

New DescenDANCE Party in Tomorrowland will be perfect for getting some candy-fueled energy out. This new rave is inspired by the upcoming Disney Original Movie “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” premiering on Disney+ on July 12.

Adding some extra character magic, Bruno from “Encanto” will greet guests alongside Mirabel at their Casita in Fairytale Garden.

Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party range from $89 to $199 ($10 less for kids ages 3 to 9) depending on the date.

Minnie’s Halloween Dine

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, families can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Hollywood and Vine during Minnie’s Halloween Dine, when Minnie and her friends dress in Halloween attire and greet guests. Hollywood and Vine is a fantastic place to dine and interact with characters, and serves up both an impressive grown-up buffet and a buffet full of kid-friendly options.

During this event, characters visit each table and pose for photos in their Halloween best. Silly, spooky music plays in the background as well, making it a fun way to celebrate Halloween as a family.

Breakfast pricing is $49 per adult and $33 per child (ages 3 through 9). For lunch and dinner, the cost is $59 per adult and $38 per child. 

Where to see Halloween decorations at Walt Disney World

At Magic Kingdom, day guests can see Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for Halloween without buying a separate event ticket. Halloween displays, Mickey pumpkins, and more are throughout the area, making it a great time to capture some sweet fall photos of your family. 

Disney Resorts with Halloween Decorations

While there aren’t any Disney-provided Halloween decorations at any Disney resorts, your fellow guests often get into the spooky spirit. If you’re into this time of year consider parking at Disney Springs and hopping a Disney bus to Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

Spooky retro hit songs play in the lobby and Everything Pop Shopping & Dining. Take a stroll through the centuries as you walk around the resort. You’re sure to see some Halloween decorations in the windows as guests get into the spirit by decorating their room doors and windows.

During a recent trip, our Editor, Dani Meyering, saw many rooms in the Halloween spirit at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, and even at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.

Hop on the Disney Skyliner to either Caribbean Beach Resort or Disney’s Riviera Resort. Both places have a quick service restaurant, each with its own special Halloween exclusive treat.

Bonus idea – Mickey Pumpkin Soft-serve at the Pineapple Lanai (Disney’s Polynesian) Pumpkin-spiced flavored soft-serve and coconut haupia with caramel drizzle, graham cracker crumbs, and a white chocolate Mickey-shaped pumpkin 

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is full of Halloween decor thanks to enthusiastic guests. Plus, it is home to pony rides for little ones – a favorite petting zoo style activity in Orlando.

And now there are new gorgeous cabins at the campground!

To check out the Halloween decorations at guest campsites of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground we suggest parking at Disney Springs (which is free) and then hop on the bus to Disney’s Fort Wilderness.

Halloween at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground is so popular that the resort is “locked out” from all guests except those that are on the overnight reservation or have a Hoop De Doo Musical Revue reservation, during the week of Halloween.

So, whether you decide to splurge on tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, or keep it lowkey, there are many fun ways to celebrate spooky season at Disney.
