Overview
- Fan outlets on Sunday said they expect Disney to confirm the 2026 party calendar in May based on last year’s May 12 timing.
- The formal update typically shares exact dates and ticket‑sale details, which many guests treat as the green light to book and buy.
- Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed, after‑hours event at Magic Kingdom with capped attendance, the Boo‑To‑You parade, trick‑or‑treating, exclusive shows, and specialty snacks.
- The event usually runs on select nights from August through Halloween, and Magic Kingdom closes early to day guests on party nights.
- Expect October weekends and Halloween week to sell out first, so travelers targeting those dates should decide preferred nights and budgets before sales open.
