Disney World Halloween Party 2026 updates

Overview

Walt Disney World’s Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party runs from August 7 through October 31, with designated nights in each month now on sale. The entertainment slate adds “Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup” in Tomorrowland and “Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash” in Adventureland, while fan‑favorite Cadaver Dans return.

Guest access has been tweaked: starting August 17, regular‑ticket holders enjoy extended park hours until 11 p.m., and Deluxe‑Resort guests can stay until 1 a.m. on August 19. Early‑entry times have been adjusted for several party nights.

Three Disney Resort hotel perks – including complimentary water‑park admission on the check‑in day – will cease after September 8, giving guests a limited window to use them.

Merchandise expands beyond the earlier popcorn buckets to include Evil Queen apparel, a Magic Mirror interactive toy, and other Halloween‑themed items sold at Disney Store locations. A weather advisory noted possible thunderstorms on August 4, though no closures were announced.

The core operational framework—6 p.m. park closure for regular guests, extended‑evening benefits for resort guests, and relaxed costume rules—remains in place for the 2026 events.
