Mickey’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks

We know, we know — spooky season might still be months away, but that doesn’t mean Disney isn’t already hard at work planning this year’s event. Dates and details were recently announced, and planning your trip is about to be even easier because we officially know when Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show is taking place each night!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will run on select nights from August 7th to October 31st, 2026! Tickets for this fun and frightful event are on sale now — and keep in mind that early and end dates typically sell out sooner, so you’ll want to make those plans EARLY!

Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular is one of the most popular events of the whole evening, with fireworks, music, projections on the castle, and more, and now we officially know when it will be shown each night. This special fireworks spectacle is shown only during the party — not on regular nights — and will take place each night at 10 PM.

Not So Spooky Spectacular

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a paid after-hours event featuring special parades, characters, trick-or-treating, and even fireworks. This event brings out characters in rare costumes and even some spooky ride overlays.

Entering the party

NEW this year, Stitch is hosting a dance party at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland with the help of his friends Lilo and Angel! Disney shared that, “After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, every accessory he tries on will spark a theme swap and keep the party playfully unpredictable all night long.” There are a TON of other character meet-and-greets, too.

All guests, even the group’s adults, can trick or treat around Magic Kingdom! You’ll receive a themed bag to put your candies in, and with over a dozen treat trails, your bag will be filled with M&Ms, Snickers, Starburst, and more.
