Latest News About Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2026

Here’s the latest I can summarize based on public reports through April–May 2026.

• Dates and general plan: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) 2026 runs on select nights from early August through October, with the early start making it the earliest kickoff in the event’s history. Expect about 38 party nights and entry to the park starting earlier in the day for guests with party tickets [sources cited below].[3][5]
• New and returning entertainment: Plans for 2026 include the familiar highlights (Mickey’s Boo to You Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks) along with returning favorites. A notable new feature for 2026 is Stitch hosting a dance party at the Rockettower Plaza Stage, with dynamic costume-trunk twists that change the party vibe during the night.[2][5][3]
• Tickets and tips: Tickets typically go on sale in the weeks after official dates are announced; early purchase is advised as popular dates can sell out. Some reports mention extended entry windows (early park access before official party start) for guests with MNSSHP tickets.[1][5]
