Mickey and Minnie are ready welcome guests back to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World.

They're baaaaack. 

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is coming back to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom for the first time since the pandemic. The beloved fall event, which dates back to 1995, was skipped in 2020. A different Halloween-themed event, Disney After Hours Boo Bash, was held at the Florida resort last year.

Disneyland's Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party made its pandemic return to California last fall and will be back again this September.

Both after-hours events require special tickets, separate from regular theme park admission. Here's what they have brewing.
