Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, or MNSSHP for short, is a special-ticketed event that takes place on select nights from August through October. Unlike traditional Halloween events known for their frights, MNSSHP is designed to be fun and festive for visitors of all ages. It’s the perfect way for families to celebrate the season without the fear factor.
One of the highlights of the party is the trick-or-treat experience. Visitors can don their favorite costumes and collect sweets from various treat stations throughout the park. Disney characters, often in their own Halloween attire, join in the fun, making it an interactive and magical experience for the little ones.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party offers a plethora of entertainment options. The “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade is a fan favorite, featuring beloved Disney characters and villains, dazzling floats, and a catchy soundtrack. The “Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular” is a live show featuring the Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s Hocus Pocus, bringing a delightful touch of wickedness to the stage.
One of the unique aspects of MNSSHP is the opportunity to meet rare Disney characters in their Halloween costumes. Whether you’re looking to interact with Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas or spot other rarely seen characters, this event offers a chance to create unforgettable memories with your favorite Disney figures.
While the event is not designed to be overly scary, it still embraces the Halloween spirit with spooky decorations, eerie lighting, and a festive atmosphere. The park takes on a magical, slightly eerie ambiance that adds to the enchantment of the evening.

Every year, as the autumn leaves start to fall and the nights grow longer, Universal Studios transforms into a realm of terror and thrills. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal is an annual event that has become synonymous with spine-chilling entertainment, elaborate haunted houses, and eerie attractions.
The heart and soul of Halloween Horror Nights are the meticulously designed haunted houses. These are not your average haunted attractions; they are full-fledged immersive experiences that transport visitors into nightmarish scenarios. Each year, Universal Studios collaborates with some of the most famous horror franchises, including Halloween, The Exorcist, Stranger Things, and more, to create haunted houses inspired by these iconic properties. Walking through these houses is an adrenaline-pumping experience. Visitors will encounter elaborately crafted sets, terrifying actors in intricate costumes and makeup, and spine-tingling special effects. The attention to detail is astonishing, and the level of immersion is unparalleled, making every visit to Halloween Horror Nights a unique and unforgettable adventure.
Beyond the haunted houses, Halloween Horror Nights features “scare zones” throughout the park. These are themed areas where scare actors roam freely, waiting to jump out and terrify unsuspecting guests. The streets themselves become part of the horror experience, with eerie lighting, fog machines, and spine-chilling soundtracks enhancing the atmosphere. Each scare zone has its own unique theme, adding diversity to the frightful festivities.
