Disney Fireworks Show Dessert Party

Sure you’ve already paid for the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party ticket, but if you want a front-row seat at the Not So Spooky Spectacular Fireworks Show, you can pay extra to attend the dessert party. Ghoulish goodies, sparkling cider, fruits, cheeses, and treats await. While we wouldn’t recommend using precious Halloween Party time for a dessert party, you can check out our dessert party experience here to see if it may work for you.

Boo to You Parade Disney Halloween Parade

In our minds, the Boo To You Parade is sacred so we were a little nervous as to how 2019’s new additions would change up our favorite Disney Halloween Parade Lyrics.  But it ended up being OK! The Spectral Bride, of Haunted Mansion fame, joined the parade, gliding her way among the spirits. Buzz Lightyear and Alien Explorers were also added for a little futuristic fun, Plus Edna Mode and the Incredibles now have their very own new float as well. While we’re still waiting for more Disney villains to be added to the lineup, we’ll take these fun new additions in the interim.

Trick or Treat at Magic Kingdom

Trick or Treating at Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party happens all over the park! With trick-or-treat stations in each land, there is plenty of ground to cover. You will be given a trick-or-treat bag and starting goodies at the party entrance when you arrive. BUT, we recommend that if trick-or-treating is your goal, then be sure to bring your own trick-or-treat bag. As the one you get at the party is small. 

But, remember, you’re not just there to Trick or Treat! While you can grab candy anyplace back home, the events, characters, rides, and exclusive snacks are only available during the party. Make the most of it! 

Cadaver Dans in Frontierland

The Dapper Dans get all dressed up for Halloween and serve up music and “deadpan” humor for Halloween fun during the party. Complete with deadpan humor this quartet sings familiar songs of the season. They typically appear on the balconies above the Frontierland buildings and sing throughout the evening. Be sure to catch a song or two as you make your way around the park. 

Disney Halloween Ride Overlays

Tomorrowland rides will be getting new overlays as Disney starts to heavily promote that area of the park.  And these rides got extra spooky with new music and overlays of color. So we’re expecting more of the same. 

• Mad Tea Party Tea Cups. The teacups on the Mad Tea Party will now have a cool new lighting effect for riders during the Party. The light will change colors and you might even too! Sound a bit mad? Nah, we are excited about this fun little addition to this classic ride.
• Space Mountain. On Space Mountain, riders will be treated to a new soundtrack. So if you’re already a huge Space Mountain fan, you’ll definitely want to check that out during the party. 
• Pirates of the Caribbean. Officially a “Posse” of live pirates, causing a raucous will be part of the Pirates overlay for the Halloween Party. 
• Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor. complete with a Halloween theme, the laugh floor gets extra spooky during the evening’s shows. 
• Haunted Mansion. While the ride itself doesn’t change, the cast members get dressed up in their best Halloween garb. and be sure to keep an eye out for Ghostly performers on the lawn of Haunted Mansion throughout the night. 

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular

The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, on the Cinderella Castle stage, can be viewed at 8:00 PM, 9:15 PM, 10:40 PM, and midnight.  If you camp out for the fireworks show, you will catch a showing of this while you wait.
