The event encourages guests to dress up in Halloween costumes and celebrate the season with themed events throughout the park. Regular park rules prohibit guests over the age of fourteen years from dressing in costume, but this rule is waived for the Halloween event, although adults dressed as a Disney character are prohibited from signing autographs or posing for pictures with other guests.
The event begins at 7pm on select nights but guests with a ticket for the event can enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4pm.[1]
In 2020, Disney cancelled all Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party celebrations due to delays and restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] A smaller-scale event, Disney After Hours Boo Bash, replaced it for 2021.[3]
