Entertainment at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has themed events that you can’t find anywhere else, like a fireworks show, a parade, and special musical performances. This fireworks show is hosted by Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and it takes place above Magic Kingdom.

In the story, Jack has come to tell a story that isn’t too scary about how anything can happen on Halloween night. Zero, Jack’s ghost dog, takes everyone on a trick-or-treating adventure, where Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy are drawn into a mysterious haunted house. Their journey takes them from room to room in the house, where they meet dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts, and a whole bunch of Disney villains who like to cause trouble.

During a party, the fireworks show usually starts at 10:15 PM and lasts for about 12 minutes. It can get pretty crowded, so if you want the best views, you should get in line early.

Boo-to-You Halloween Parade

This parade at Walt Disney World is unlike any other you’ve seen because it has rare characters, music, dancing, and floats. You’ll be greeted by the Headless Horseman himself as he rides down the parade route.

Costumed Disney characters and villains, like Mickey and Friends, the Hitchhiking Ghosts, Jack Sparrow, Winnie-the-Pooh, Wreck-it-Ralph, and more, will follow him. The Haunted Mansion Gravediggers are one of the parade’s best parts. They drag their shovels along the ground to make beautiful sparks. You will also see a parade float with The Incredibles and the famous fashion designer Edna Mode.

This will be followed by a float with Buzz Lightyear and alien explorers finding crystal treasures on the surface of a planetary playset. And, of course, the Ghost Bride will be on a Haunted Mansion float. You can watch the parade on Main Street, in Liberty Square, or in Frontierland at either 9:15 or 11:15 PM.
