Characters, Rides & Costume
The best part of attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2024 is meeting all the Disney characters, especially those characters who do not greet guests on regular days.
Characters
The most famous characters in this list are Jack Skellington and Sally. Apart from them, the other important characters are Elvis Stitch, Pooh and his friend in Halloween costumes, and many more. More than 20 characters you can meet throughout the park at selected dates, times, and locations.
This year Disney also promised to bring more villain characters, and for a Disney fan, nothing is more exciting than this news. You can spot Evil Queen and Maleficent conjuring up jinxes from atop the Main Street Train Station. Also, Bruno from the movie “Encanto” and Mirabel are meeting at their casita in Fairytale Garden. The most important and main attraction of this whole event is the famous Mickey and Minnie Mouse greeting you in their brand new neon spiderweb outfits.
Rides
One of the most adventurous parts of this event is riding. Rides include Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and Tron Lightcycle. If your first priority is riding, then I will recommend hopping on the rides first because, due to heavy crowds, most of the rides are shut down before midnight for maintenance.
Remember that from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. the rides do not appear in the My Disney experience as 6 p.m. is the closing time of the regular park and again open at 7 p.m., but do not worry about the app because the park is fully open during this time.
Rides are subject to closing at any time for maintenance during your selected dates, so please keep these things in mind before attending the event.
