Hoppy Halfway to Halloween! Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line have revealed the 2024 dates and details for their respective spooktacular special events during the spooky season. Halloween is starting earlier than ever this year, so I hope you have your costume ideas in mind already. (Anyone thinking of the "Inside Out" emotions?) Without further ado, let's hop in!
Walt Disney World Resort
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has a few new tricks up its sleeve this year! Mickey and Minnie Mouse will don new neon spiderweb outfits, Bruno will join Mirabel at their casita in Fairytale Garden and more Disney Villains will stalk the night. Speaking of villains, you'll be able to bust a move at a new DescenDANCE Party, inspired by the upcoming "Descendants: The Rise of Red" movie, in Tomorrowland. Also for any little ghouls in training, Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade will start earlier this year (perfect for bedtime schedules). And of course, returning favorites include Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, trick-or-treating, ride overlays and more.

Disney Cruise Line
Halloween on the High Seas will set sail again in 2024, and Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck will sport brand-new costumes. This Halloween experience is available on select itineraries departing September through Halloween. Not-so-scary activities include Mickey's Mouse-querade, themed character greetings, creepy crafts and trick-or-treating.
Disney Cruise Line has also revealed new details about the Haunted Mansion Parlor coming to the Disney Treasure, which debuts in December 2024. The themed bar will combine the nostalgia of the popular attraction with a new nautical storyline. It's themed after a ship parlor that once belonged to a jolly sea captain and his strange fiancee. From an eerie portrait gallery to an aquarium with ghost fish, the Haunted Mansion Parlor promises spooky storytelling while enjoying spine-chilling libations.
