One of the Orlando area's most popular Halloween events for children is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party held each year at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Families will enjoy a Haunting Good Time of "Frights and Sounds" with special events and attractions guaranteed to tingle the spine and turn up the goose bumps.

Mickey Mouse and his Disney pals will be decked out in their Halloween costumes and encourage children and adults that visit the event to do the same.

The family-friendly Halloween fun begins in September at Magic Kingdom - the fun begins at 7 p.m. after regular park hours and continues until the witching hour of midnight. A separate admission ticket is required for this special event.

There will be opportunities for trick-or-treating throughout the theme park, including special "treat trails." Looking for some Holloween costume inspiration? Preview Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party photos from prior years.

Each evening will feature "Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade" followed by the bewitching "Happy HalloWishes" fireworks spectacular with a villinous green and orange fireworks display.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will take place on select evenings in September, October and November.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for a discounted price. For additional ticket information, visit Walt Disney World Tickets or call 407/W-DISNEY.
