Disney Just Dropped the 2026 Halloween Party Dates. Check this out before you book!
Disney just released the 2026 dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, and if a fall Disney trip is even on your radar, this is where planning starts to matter.
This is one of my favorite times to go to Disney. The atmosphere is completely different, and when it’s planned right, it can be one of the highlights of your trip.
But it’s also one of the easiest times to get wrong.
Before you start picking dates or booking anything, here’s the basic information you need to know.
2026 Halloween Party Basics
• Party dates run August 7 through October 31
• October dates are the first to sell out
• The first few parties in August tend to go quickly
• Last year, the event sold out completely
Ticket sales:
• May 5 for guests with a Disney Resort stay
• May 12 for the general public
Once tickets go on sale, the best dates start to go quickly, and that can impact your entire trip if you are not planning around it.
Watch This Before You Book
I put together a full video walking through the most common mistakes I see when people plan Disney trips during Halloween season.
Things like booking your trip in the wrong order, choosing the wrong park days, or not realizing how party nights affect your schedule.
If you watch anything before you book, make it this.
Why This Matters
The Halloween party is not just something you add on at the end. It affects your dates, your park plan, and how your entire trip flows.
That’s where I see people run into issues.
A little strategy upfront can make a big difference in how your trip actually feels once you’re there.
