This put up covers what’s coming to the 2025 MNSSHP in Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland, with some fast ideas.
Truthful warning: not a lot adjustments about MNSSHP from yr to yr. Should you’re planning on attending the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering and final did the occasion in 2019, it’s nonetheless going to about 90% the identical. The largest distinction you’ll (hopefully) discover is decrease crowds, as Walt Disney World has lowered the cap since then. (That’s a double-edged sword, as decrease limits imply quicker sellouts and demand-driven larger costs.)
Truthfully, we thought Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering was getting stale again in 2019, and with no materials adjustments within the final 6 years, that sentiment has solely grown stronger. What’ll be totally different in 2025 is usually minor and simple to overlook. Mickey’s Boo to You Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and the Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular are all returning for the 2025 MNSSHP. There is likely to be tweaks to the parade items, costumes, or characters represented, however the 2025 leisure lineup shall be materially the identical because it was in 2019.
Nonetheless, there are adjustments for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering. That’s the place this put up comes into play–so what has modified (since a number of of this stuff are unadvertised) and the best way to plan accordingly. Specializing in the brand new stuff so it manages to be Mickey’s Not-So-Stale Halloween Social gathering for you (at the very least, to the best extent attainable).
With that stated, in case you’re a first-timer or attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering after a decade-long absence, this put up will not be your greatest or singular useful resource. For the whole lot you could learn about this occasion–past what’s new–see our Final Information to the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering!
On that notice, let’s flip to what’s new & modified on the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering…
Zom-Beatz Bash Dance Social gathering
Happening at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, Zom-Beatz Bash invitations company to bounce the evening away – the fright approach! New this yr, expertise particular surprises impressed by the brand new Disney movie, “Zombies 4: Daybreak of the Vampires” together with haunting DJ tunes and bone-chilling performers, who’re certain to carry the ghouls out … along with your assist.
Though I’m an enormous fan of zombies and vampires–Resident Evil is my all-time favourite online game sequence, and I actually loved Sinners and Nosferatu–I’ve no clue what “Daybreak of the Vampires” is. Properly, I assume I do know it’s a Disney Authentic Film and the fourth installment of the film sequence. However I haven’t the slightest inkling as to what that’s about.
Zombies, vampires (and the daybreak thereof), dancing and teenage angst, most likely? Frankly, it does strike me as a bit determined that Disney would want so as to add vampires to a sequence about zombies, as they’re normally two distinct issues. However I get it–vampires are all the fashion proper now. Maybe that is like Alien vs. Predator, a film that mixed two superior issues and made one thing terrible.
Joking apart, there’s a dance occasion like this at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland yearly throughout MNSSHP. Promoting this as one thing new strikes me as a stretch. Should you preferred the one final yr or the yr earlier than, you’ll like this. Should you didn’t, you most likely gained’t. Including pretend vampires is unlikely to maneuver the needle.
Halloween at Storybook Circus
Throughout the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering, company also can go to the silliest circus round! Storybook Circus may have the whole lot mortals might have to get within the spirit of the season. On the entrance, ensure that to cease by and see Pluto, then head over to Pete’s Foolish Sideshow to satisfy Daisy and Goofy dressed of their Halloween apparel.
The circus occasion continues with DJ Ringmaster, who will play eerie-sistible beats and lights up the evening for all to get pleasure from. To high all of it off, two deal with spots shall be positioned close to the Fantasyland Practice Station and the Dumbo the Flying Elephant attraction – excellent for grabbing some ghostly goodies to gas the enjoyable!
We hope there’s a bit extra to this. Final yr’s adjustments to Storybook Circus throughout MNSSHP have been a critical downgrade. All the characters have been consolidated inside Pete’s Foolish Sideshow the place the Seven Dwarfs used to satisfy, resulting in lengthy strains, fewer meet & greets and the overall character rely diminished by 7.
Walt Disney World actually must make extra of an effort with the meet & greets again right here, particularly since lengthy strains for characters are one of many downside factors of MNSSHP. I’d be high-quality with extra free roaming or dance occasion characters, versus conventional meet & greets. These are extra environment friendly technique of seeing and taking selfies with characters.
Regardless, we’re cautiously optimistic about Halloween at Storybook Circus. The largest addition for final yr’s Christmas occasion was Santa’s Christmas Carnival at Storybook Circus. It was full of decorations and lights, Christmas cheer, mates from the North Pole, and actions for teenagers. This included stilt walkers and my private favourite, the bootleg Coca-Cola polar bears. If they will pull off an environment like this, it’ll be a win for MNSSHP.
Different New Stuff for 2025 MNSSHP?
Villains Deal with Trails – Throughout final yr’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering, Princess Fairytale Corridor was not a meet & greet location for the princesses. As an alternative, it was an enhanced deal with path that options two villains, Maleficent and the Evil Queen. These villains have been within the queue in entrance of a portrait of their story’s princess, as they mingle with company and pose for selfies.
Walt Disney World has introduced this for 2025: “This yr, company can anticipate much more enjoyable than ever earlier than with some acquainted (and fiendish) faces shocking company alongside the paths.” Our expectation is that Walt Disney World will develop the villainous deal with trails for 2025, and make this the marketable new addition. Having at the very least just a few villainous deal with trails can be an enormous win.
Mickey & Minnie Assembly Collectively – Based on Walt Disney World: “Meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse collectively at City Sq. Theater.” Final yr, each Minnie and Mickey Mouse obtained all-new costumes, that includes a neon spider internet design. Now, Minnie Mouse will transfer from Storybook Circus to City Sq. so the dynamic duo can greet company collectively for the primary time in a very long time.
Jack Skellington’s New Head – Walt Disney World has revealed a brand new search for Jack Skellington for the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering. The character may have a brand new, articulated head at his meet & greet with Sally, changing the cut-out mouth and rubber hat beforehand worn by the performer. It is a beautiful glow-up, albeit one which spike wait occasions for what’s already the preferred meet & greet at MNSSHP.
Hopefully this isn’t an exhaustive checklist of the adjustments. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Social gathering feels stale and drained for a lot of repeat guests. The issue, in fact, is that the particular occasion continues to promote out daily, yearly. There’s little incentive to alter something, particularly for the reason that goal demographic is first-timers, for whom the whole lot is brand-new.

For years, Sarah has collected plush purses from Tokyo Disney Resort. They’re cute, I assume, however the factor I’ve by no means understood is why they’re so small–simply barely undersized for a median sensible telephone. Loungeflys take that impracticality and say, “maintain my beer.” They’re small, clunky, and strike me as unsuitable for Florida climate. However I’m about as removed from the audience as attainable, so who cares what I believe.

I additionally just like the Tervis, which is the most effective water cup model in the marketplace. I’m additionally an enormous fan of that image body type–hopefully it’s a magnet.
