2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Characters

If you’re hoping to meet characters at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you’re in luck! This year’s party offers plenty of new and returning character meet-and-greets.

Numerous guests attend at least one party each year just to meet a few favorites that you won’t find anywhere else. Below, we’ve provided a list of each character you’ll find at the party, along with photos and tips from our experiences meeting them.

See the full list of trick-or-treat locations at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Mickey and Minnie Mouse meet together in Halloween attire at Town Square Theater. This is the traditional location to meet Mickey Mouse at Magic Kingdom. His regular meet-and-greet lasts until 6:00 p.m. when the park closes. He then takes a break and returns to the party with Minnie Mouse at 7:00 p.m. This meet-and-greet often has long lines earlier in the evening. While the pair meet until midnight, the line is often cut off by 11:30 p.m., so make sure to get in line early enough to meet them. For more details, we have a complete walkthrough of where to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Mickey’s Halloween Party.

Jack Skellington and Sally

Jack Skellington and Sally begin meeting at approximately 4:30 p.m. They usually have the longest wait out of all the party meet-and-greets. The pair meet at Town Square Theater in the queue next to Mickey Mouse’s meet-and-greet. This meet-and-greet is known to have wait times of up to 2.5 hours.

The last time we met Jack and Sally, we joined the line at 4:01 p.m., with about 40 guests ahead of us. We were at a standstill until 4:30 p.m., when they began meeting guests. It was our turn to meet them at 4:58 p.m. Since we were near the front of the line, we only had about an hour’s wait. Given the demand, cast members usually cut their line early. So, while Jack and Sally meet until midnight, you need to get in line earlier rather than later. If you would like to see more photos, see our overview of how to meet Jack Skellington with Sally at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Friends from Aladdin

Aladdin and friends meet near Agrabah Bazaar in Adventureland during the Halloween party. This location is directly across from the Magic Carpets attraction. Aladdin meets here with Abu, and they rotate the meet-and-greet with Jasmine and Genie.

While Aladdin is available daily, Abu is an exceptionally rare character. You’ll typically only find him at an extra-ticketed event. It can be tricky to meet the pair because Aladdin and Abu rotate this meet-and-greet with Jasmine and Genie. For instance, this evening, Aladdin and Abu greeted guests when we joined the line. However, they took a break before it was our turn. Soon after, Jasmine returned with the Genie, so that’s who we ended up meeting. Like Abu, this is one of the only places to meet Genie at Disney World. As for Jasmine, she meets with Aladdin at this exact location daily.

Chip and Dale

Chip and Dale are once again meeting guests at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The pair meet in bat costumes near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Frontierland. This meet-and-greet starts at 7:00 p.m. and is quite popular. Since we got in line early, we only waited about 30 minutes. However, a long line had formed behind us by the time we were finished. We have an overview of our experience meeting Chip and Dale at the Halloween Party if you would like to learn more.

Country Bears

Several Country Bears roam Frontierland throughout the evening. We ran into both Wendell and Romeo McGrowl before the first parade.

Mirabel and Bruno

Mirabel and Bruno meet in the Liberty Square Gazebo during Mickey’s Halloween Party. We didn’t get a chance to meet them this year. The photo below is from last year’s Christmas Party, where they met at the same location.

Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella

Lady Tremaine and her daughters, the evil stepsisters, return to this year’s Halloween Party. To me, this is one of the best meet-and-greets at the party. They meet behind the carousel at the Fantasyland castle wall throughout the evening. We have a walk-through of our experience meeting Lady Tremaine at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Gaston

Gaston is quite the popular character during the Halloween Party. The photo below is from last year’s party when he met guests on the bridge in front of the Beast’s castle near the Be Our Guest Restaurant. In 2026, we found Gaston only a few feet away near Gaston’s Tavern. Given he’s roughly the size of a barn, he shouldn’t be too difficult to find. If you would like to admire him a little more, see our overview of meeting Gaston at Mickey’s Halloween Party.

Prince Eric and Ariel

Prince Eric and Ariel were out meeting guests in front of her attraction, Journey of the Little Mermaid. This picture was from a few years ago, but we walked through and saw them in the same location during this year’s party. Prince Eric is an exceptionally rare character and Ariel can be hard to find in her land dress.

Pluto

Pluto greets guests throughout the evening near the entrance of Storybook Circus. We have a separate article that details where you can find him and how long you can expect to wait: Meet Pluto at Mickey’s Halloween Party.

Donald and Daisy Duck

Donald and Daisy are meeting at Pete’s Silly Sideshow during this year’s Halloween Party. In case you missed it, we discussed how we went to this meet-and-greet during the fireworks for a shorter line. If you go early in the evening, be prepared for a long wait. See where to meet Donald and Daisy Duck at Mickey’s Halloween Party for more details.

Friends from Winnie the Pooh

Next, we have Pooh as a Bumble Bee, Piglet as a Butterfly, Eeyore as a Clown, and Tigger as a Pirate. They meet at the Thotful Spot next to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction. Similar to Jack and Sally, this is one of the longest character lines at the party.

Word of warning for this location: it closes in the event of inclement weather. The picture below is from a few years ago when I waited well over an hour to meet them. It ended up storming, and the location closed when I was about five guests away from the front of the line. While it couldn’t be helped, it was very aggravating to invest so much party time for nothing.

Alice in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter

Alice meets with the Mad Hatter during the Halloween Party. They meet next to the Mad Tea Party. The Queen of Hearts is nearby.

Queen of Hearts

Here, we have the Queen of Hearts, who is meeting solo at this year’s Halloween Party. In the past, she’s rotated this location with the Tweedles, but they are not available this year.

Trick-or-Treat Trail Characters

The following characters do not have traditional meet-and-greets, but you can find them on trick-or-treat trails.

Maleficent and the Evil Queen take over Princess Fairytale Hall during the Halloween Party. This is not a traditional meet-and-greet, but you can stop and take a few photos along the trick-or-treat trail. Maleficent is on one side, and the Evil Queen is on the opposite. We walked through both sides to see them both up close. For more details, see Maleficent and the Evil Queen at Princess Fairytale Hall.

We found Goofy in his pirate costume on the trick-or-treat trail at Mickey’s PhilharMagic.

Belle was meeting guests on the trick-or-treat trail at Enchanted Tales with Belle.

Lastly, you might see the Hitch-Hiking Ghosts on a trick-or-treat trail at the Diamond Horseshoe in Liberty Square. Several Haunted Mansion residents can often be found in or around the attraction’s queue. (Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler). This year, a few new Haunted Mansion residents make appearances at the Market Street Welcome when you first enter the party.

We hope you have a wonderful time at the party. For more details, see our guide to the 2026 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Check back with Resorts Gal for more planning details!
