Halloween has officially arrived at Magic Kingdom, and Disney is giving guests even more reasons to get excited for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Along with fan-favorite entertainment, trick-or-treating, and spooky character meet-and-greets, this year’s party introduces brand-new Cast Member costumes and several collectible popcorn buckets that are sure to become must-have souvenirs for Disney fans.
We’re sharing a first look at some of the newest additions you’ll find during this year’s Halloween celebration!
New Cast Member Costumes
One of the first things guests, who are regulars attendees, will notice this year the all-new seasonal Cast Member costumes created especially for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
The new costumes appear to be inspired by the Skeleton Dance short.
Two Party-Exclusive Popcorn Buckets
Disney knows popcorn buckets have become almost as popular as the attractions themselves, and this year may feature two of the most anticipated collectibles yet.
Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket
Fans of The Haunted Mansion will immediately recognize the eerie new Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket.
Inspired by one of the attraction’s most mysterious and beloved residents, the detailed collectible captures the spooky charm of the infamous ghost and is expected to be one of the hottest merchandise items of the season. The Hatbox Ghost bucket will be available exclusively during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the popcorn carts located near Cinderella Castle, while supplies last.
Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket
Joining the Hatbox Ghost is an all-new Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket, inspired by one of the most iconic moments of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Long before the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade begins, the legendary Headless Horseman gallops down the parade route carrying his glowing jack-o’-lantern, creating one of the party’s most unforgettable traditions. Now guests can take home that iconic Halloween symbol in popcorn bucket form.
Like the Hatbox Ghost bucket, the Headless Horseman bucket will only be available during party nights at the popcorn carts near Cinderella Castle.
Vampire Mickey Popcorn Bucket
Not attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? Disney still has something spooky waiting for you.
The adorable Vampire Mickey Popcorn Bucket will be available during regular Magic Kingdom operating hours at select snack locations, giving daytime guests an opportunity to celebrate Halloween without attending the separately ticketed event. Its playful design featuring Mickey in his classic vampire costume makes it a fun collectible for guests of all ages.
Halloween Merchandise Is Part of the Tradition
Every year, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party delivers some of the most sought-after merchandise at Walt Disney World, and 2026 is shaping up to be no exception.
Between the exclusive popcorn buckets, seasonal treats, specialty merchandise, entertainment, and festive decorations, there’s something new waiting around nearly every corner. If history is any indication, these limited-edition collectibles are expected to be extremely popular, so guests hoping to add them to their Disney collections may want to make them one of their first stops after entering the party.
One of the things that makes Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party so special is that Disney continues to add new experiences every year, even for longtime attendees. From new themed Cast Member costumes that enhance the atmosphere to collectible popcorn buckets inspired by some of Disney’s most beloved Halloween icons, this year’s additions make an already incredible event even more memorable.
We’ll continue bringing you more coverage from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party as opening night gets underway, so stay tuned to The Main Street Mouse for more photos, food reviews, merchandise, entertainment, and all the latest Halloween magic from Magic Kingdom!
