What’s New for Halloween at Disney?
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party has returned and is offered select party nights from August 9 – October 31, 2024, at Magic Kingdom. Plus, starting mid-August the parks get decorated with Mickey pumpkins, bats, and all things spooky. This marks the beginning of the Fall and Halloween season, so while new Halloween treats and decorations may not be fully in the parks until early September, you can count on spooky vibes as early as this year.

We think this is the only party ticket you need to buy all year- as this event is unparalleled where Disney entertainment is concerned. Be sure to read all about Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party for all the details.
The Cadaver Dans on Main Street U.S.A | Magic Kingdom
The Cadaver Dans ( aka The Dapper Dans in Halloween gear) arrive in Magic Kingdom later in September and bring extra spooky sounds to Main Street USA. They arrive via the Main Street Trolley, so keep an eye out for them and stop for a listen. They add spooky tunes not only during the day but also during the Halloween Party in Frontierland.
Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine | Hollywood Studios
In Hollywood Studios, Minnie’s Halloween Dine arrives at Hollywood & Vine, in early August. With a buffet-style meal and Disney characters, you’ll get photos and interactions with Minnie herself! Dressed in her Halloween best as a happy witch. Mickey Mouse arrives as a vampire, Goofy as a cowboy and Pluto even gets a Halloween Collar. This special meal is the perfect way to kick off the spooky season safely. Halloween Dine runs from August 9th – November 7th, 2024.
Disney Characters Dressed Up for Halloween
One of the best parts of Halloween at Walt Disney World is seeing all our favorite characters in their Halloween costumes! Unfortunately, many of them can only be seen at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! With Pooh and Friends in their best “spooky” costumes and even Jack Skellington gets some time in the parks! If you’re not attending the Halloween party be on the lookout for spooky Character Cavalcades and impromptu character appearances across the park.
Do Disney Characters have Disney Halloween Costumes?
YES! You’ll get to see favorite characters strolling the streets, on the character cavalcade, and on the Main Street Trolley! From Donald and Daisy to Mickey and Minnie and even Jack Skellington and Sally, you can see many Disney Characters at the MNSSHP. Check out where you can find Disney Villains next time to visit Disney World.
Disney Halloween Snacks | Everywhere
If you’re visiting Disney World for Halloween then get ready for some of the best Disney snacks for the season. Plan to see Pumpkin Spice cupcakes, new spooky cake pops, and candy corn dole whip. Plus apple fritters, mousse, cannoli, and loads of treats with all the fall flavors. You can find Disney Fall Snacks in every park, resort, and Disney Springs too. We update the Halloween snack lists every year! Check out all the new Disney Halloween Snacks in the parks.
Disney Halloween Merchandise
So many Halloween things to buy! Another of our favorite reasons to visit Disney World in the Fall is the merchandise. We are chronic window shoppers and rarely buy these goodies because airlines have luggage weight limits. But that doesn’t stop us from staring and wishing and wondering how much shipping it directly home would be. Check out our roundup of all the Disney Halloween Merchandise for 2024. Available for a limited time and in limited quantities, these Disney Parks Halloween Novelties are available at select locations throughout the park. While supplies last.
Disney Halloween Decorations
One of our favorite things for Disney World for Halloween are the decorations. Of course, we’ve talked about the magic that can happen when it’s Autumn at Walt Disney World before. You can see Mickey Pumpkin Wreaths, and Scarecrows, Cinderella Carriage wreaths and more. You can spot fall garlands, wreaths, decorations, and more all over the Disney Parks. We love to revel in the feelings of Fall even when it’s 90 in Florida. And if you’re looking for extra spooky, head to Haunted Mansion, where you will find extra cobwebs on everything and sometimes even more ghouls than usual!
Disney World for Halloween
Disney World for Halloween is one of our favorite times of year to visit. As our annual trip to the parks, we look forward to the decorations, the snacks, and of course MNSSHP. Hopefully, this has given you a good idea of everything you can look forward to for a magical Halloween at Walt Disney World. And be sure to check out all of our Halloween at Walt Disney World posts!
