Wait…Did Disney Just Drop a Hint About This Year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?

Sure, it’s January, but that doesn’t mean we’re not thinking ahead to spooky season in Disney World.

After all, it’s the next BIG holiday that gets a huge celebration in the parks, including fun decor (We love those Mickey pumpkin wreaths!) and an After Hours party, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (which is SO much fun). So we’re curious about when the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will happen this year…but y’all, we think Disney just dropped a MAJOR hint.

So Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party usually starts sometime in August and then ends on Halloween (or sometimes, a day or two after). Yep, the Halloween season lasts a whole three months in Disney World (and we LOVE THAT). So we found something curious that we think could give us an indication of the exact date Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will start this year.

Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a character dining experience for lunch and dinner at Hollywood & Vine gets a Halloween makeover called Minnie’s Halloween Dine. Disney recently revealed the first date for Minnie’s Halloween Dine: August 9th.

Well, last year, the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party happened on the first date of Minnie’s Halloween Dine, so we believe that the first date for Minnie’s Halloween Dine in 2025 could also be the first date of the party. Therefore, it’s likely Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will start on or around August 9th.

Now, Disney has not yet announced dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so we’re just guessing here, but we think it’s a pretty well-educated guess. We’ll let you know when we get the dates for the parties this year, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more.
