    Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Activities

    Trick-or-Treating

    Guests are given trick-or-treat bags to be used at the candy stations found throughout the Magic Kingdom. Locations will be indicated on the event map and will be listed below once they're revealed. Some cast members will give more than others, but there's no limit to how many times you can go back to the same location for more.

    Special Dietary Needs Including Allergies

    Guests with food allergies can get a special teal treat bag that will designate them as having an allergy (teal is the color that represents food allergy awareness). These bags can be picked up at any of the trick-or-treat locations. When you trick-or-treat with your teal bag, cast members will give you a teal token at each treat station. Later on, you can redeem your teal tokens at the allergy-friendly centers (marked on the event map) to receive your special treats!

    “Jack has come to tell a not-so-scary story about how anything can happen on Halloween night. Jack’s ghost dog, Zero, then flies off carrying everyone along on a trick-or-treating adventure, where four friends – Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy – find themselves drawn into a mysterious haunted house. Their journey takes them from one room of the house to another, encountering dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts and a whole series of troublemaking Disney villains.”

Additionally, the show will feature dancers, projections, and other special effects.
