Now, we know this year’s party’s will run from August 7th through October 31st, and tickets will be going on sale on May 5th for Disney World hotel guests and May 12th for everyone else. But how will this year’s party be different? Let’s take a look!

It’s starting earlier

For starters, you’ll have a little more time to check out this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party because it’s starting a little earlier than in previous years. Last year, the party started on August 15th, but this year it’s starting a whole week earlier, on August 7th.

So you’ll have a few more dates to choose from when deciding to go to the party.

Prices

As expected, the ticket price has gone up for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2026. Although the lowest ticket price has remained the same at $119 per person, the highest price is now $229 per person (this was $199 in 2025).

So, depending on what date you choose your party tickets for, you could be paying more than what you would have paid last year.

A new Stitch party

A new Stitch party is coming to Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year. It’s called A Masquerade with Stitch, and it sounds like it will be a lot of fun for Stitch fans.

Stitch will appear with Lilo and Angel at Rockettower Stage in Tomorrowland, where he’s hosting a masquerade. After getting his hands on (or paws) on Lilo’s costume truck, Stitch is going to be changing costumes throughout the evening for some unpredictable fun. Each costume inspires a theme swap for the masquerade.

New merchandise

Every party brings some new exclusive merchandise to Magic Kingdom, and this year’s is no exception. You’ll find everything from a special spirit jersey to drinkware to pins to Annual Passholder items and more.

You’ll find the new merchandise ONLY at the party at select stores throughout Magic Kingdom.

New food and drinks

Every Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party also offers exclusive food and drinks that you can only get at the party. Now, Disney hasn’t revealed ALL the snacks and foods for this year’s party, but there’s sure to be some new items we haven’t seen before.
