Characters at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (2024)
When it comes to meeting characters at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, you can expect rare characters, fun costumes, and incredibly long lines. The lines are so long I could almost cry! We always attend one party to meet characters so we can share the details with our readers. So most of that first night is spent standing in line while the party continues around us.
Unfortunately, Disney doesn’t provide a list of the characters who meet at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, making it difficult to know who’s available. While a special map is provided to party guests, it doesn’t detail which characters are meeting other than a small Mickey-shaped bat indicating a meet-and-greet location. In recent years, Disney has begun adding some characters to the My Disney Experience app. However, we’ve yet to see all the character meet-and-greets listed in the app.
So below, we’ll share a list of the character meet-and-greet opportunities at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. We’ll discuss who you can meet, what kind of wait times to expect, and preview photos of each character.
*These character meet-and-greets were available during last year’s party. We’ll add any new characters as they are announced and provide a final update after the initial 2024 Halloween Party. We’ve added a table of contents below so you can quickly locate information specific to a character.

**A PhotoPass photographer was present at every meet-and-greet on the night of our visit, except in instances where photo boxes have been installed, like Mickey’s meet-and-greet at Town Square Theater.

Mickey Mouse in Halloween Costume
Mickey Mouse meets in his regular location at Magic Kingdom, Town Square Theater. On most days, he meets here as Mickey the Magician. However, on Halloween Party nights, that meet-and-greet closes at 6:00 p.m. Mickey then takes a break and returns in his Halloween costume at 7:00 p.m.
![Mickey Mouse in his costume at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-009.jpg)
We waited until 11:45 p.m. to get in line to meet Mickey when the last parade of the night was coming down Main Street. As soon as the parade passed, we hurried inside Town Square Theater. Surprisingly, no one was waiting to meet him. However, a number of guests followed behind us to do the same thing.

Seven Dwarfs
Last year, we prioritized meeting the Seven Dwarfs at Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus. This is the only place to meet the Seven Dwarfs at Walt Disney World, and it was the first time they’d returned since 2019!
![the entrance sign for the special Seven Dwarfs meet-and-greet at Mickey's Halloween Party](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-175.jpg)
We got in line a few minutes after 6:00 p.m., and the Seven Dwarfs came out at approximately 6:20 p.m. They are one of the few sets of characters that make an appearance before the official 7:00 p.m. party time.
![guests waiting in the circus tent at Magic Kingdom to meet the Seven Dwarfs](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-170.jpg)
We waited 1 hour and 50 minutes to meet the Seven Dwarfs. When it was our turn, we were handed a character autograph card with their signatures. Some of the characters at the party signed autographs, but when you have seven characters at once, it works better to provide a handout.

If you want to meet them without such an extreme wait, you might consider joining the queue during one of the parades or the evening fireworks. Unfortunately, given their popularity, long waits are almost always guaranteed. On the flip side, the circus tent is indoors, and the air conditioning was a Godsend. Plus, who wouldn’t want to have their picture taken with these guys?

Jack Skellington and Sally
Jack Skellington and Sally begin meeting at approximately 4:30 p.m. They usually have the longest wait time of all the character meet-and-greets, which is why they begin meeting before the party. The pair meet inside Town Square Theater in the queue next to Mickey Mouse’s meet-and-greet. When we arrived at the party at 6:00 p.m., cast members were quoting a two-and-a-half-hour wait!
Last year, we got in line to meet Jack and Sally at 4:01 p.m. with approximately 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. So, by being close to the front of the line, we only had about an hour’s wait.
One important note–given the popular demand for Jack and Sally, cast members usually cut off the line by 11:00 p.m. So, while Jack and Sally meet until midnight, there might not be a chance to get in line with hopes of seeing them if you don’t join the line early enough.

Aladdin and Abu
Aladdin and Abu meet in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom toward the end of Agrabah Bazaar. This location is directly across from the Magic Carpets attraction. During the day, Aladdin regularly meets with Jasmine there.
![Aladdin and Abu at their character meet at Mickey's Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-056.jpg)
While Aladdin is available daily, Abu is an extremely rare character. You’ll typically only find him at an extra-ticketed event. It can be tricky if you want 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. Soon after, Jasmine returned with Genie. Thankfully, I was able to take a few photos of them between guests. But I would have had to wait to the side for their next appearance to meet them.
![Abu from 'Aladdin' posing for a photo at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-054.jpg)
Jasmine and Genie
When Aladdin and Abu aren’t meeting, Jasmine and Genie greet guests in the same area. They are a wonderful pair to meet.
![Jasmine and Genie smile for the camera at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-019.jpg)
Like Abu, this is one of the only places to meet Genie at Walt Disney World. However, Jasmine meets with Aladdin at this exact location daily.

Jafar
Jafar meets to the immediate right of Aladdin and Abu or Jasmine and Genie. He has a dedicated area that received a few enhancements. Jafar is another rare character unique to the Halloween Party. He’s also exceptionally tall, making him pretty hard to miss if you’re anywhere nearby.
![Jafar with a surly expression at Mickey's Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-031.jpg)
Jafar begins meeting at 7:00 p.m. Last year, we waited 30 minutes to meet him toward the beginning of the party. However, we met him during the fireworks this year and only waited a few minutes to meet him, Jasmine, and Genie.
Usually, we wouldn’t recommend missing a parade or the fireworks to meet characters. However, we can afford to do so since we’re attending multiple parties. You will encounter a significant difference in wait times if you choose to forgo the more extensive entertainment offerings to meet the characters.
![Jafar poses at his meet-and-greet location at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-042.jpg)
Jack Sparrow
Jack Sparrow meets guests at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party near the Adventureland Stage. The stage is located directly across the walkway from Pirates of the Caribbean. This meet-and-greet rarely has a long line. However, Jack Sparrow is a bit of a character, so you might have to catch him first. You know what he says, “This is the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.” So good luck finding him!
![Jack Sparrow greets guests at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/CaptainJackSparrow-10.jpg)
Belle
Belle meets in an area outside of Enchanted Tales with Belle during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. She formerly met with Gaston at the Halloween Party. Unfortunately, Gaston did not meet last year. However, he usually appears in the final villain’s unit of the Boo To You Parade.
![Belle greets guests at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-061.jpg)
We met Belle at nearly 10:00 p.m. At that time, only a few guests were ahead of us. So the wait was less than five minutes.
![Belle in her blue village dress](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-067.jpg)
Prince Eric and Ariel
Prince Eric and Ariel are another unique pair with a meet-and-greet at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. They meet in front of Prince Eric’s castle in New Fantasyland. We got in line to meet them at 9:42 p.m. and met them by 9:50 p.m. However, earlier in the evening, we could have easily waited an hour to meet them. They make their first appearance at 7:00 p.m.
![Prince Eric and Ariel greet guests during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-086.jpg)

Winnie the Pooh and Friends
Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet meet guests in their Halloween costumes at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. They are among the most popular characters at the party, like Jack and Sally, Stitch, and the Seven Dwarfs.
They came out at approximately 6:30 p.m. and were met with a long line of waiting guests. This character meeting is one of the best photo opportunities because the friends are dressed in their Halloween costumes. Pooh dresses as a honey bee, and Tigger is a pirate. Eeyore meets in the cutest birthday suit, and Piglet is a butterfly!
Last year, we waited in line for nearly two hours to meet them. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm temporarily closed the meet-and-greet when we were only a few guests away from meeting them and never got to meet them! So, since this meet-and-greet is outdoors, you might want to check the weather before making the time commitment.
![Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger meeting in their Halloween costumes at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-182.jpg)
A keepsake card with their signatures is provided at the meet-and-greet.

Mad Hatter and Alice
Next, we have the Mad Hatter and Alice from Alice in Wonderland in Fantasyland. This duo begins meeting around 7:00 p.m. near the Mad Tea Party entrance. Like other characters at the party, they hold a significant line. From our experience, you can expect to wait between 30 to 45 minutes to meet them.
![Alice and the Mad Hatter at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-179.jpg)
Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts meets guests on the opposite side of the Mad Tea Party. This meet-and-greet is rotated with the Tweedles. In the past, we saw these three meet guests simultaneously.
However, now the Queen of Hearts meets for about 15-20 minutes. When she leaves, the Tweedles return, exchanging places. A cast member was letting everyone know the characters rotated. But you’ll want to remember that you might not meet the character who was there when you got in line.
This evening, the Tweedles were out when I got in line. However, as I neared the front of the line, they disappeared, so I was stuck with the Queen of Hearts.
![The Queen of Hearts makes a heart shape with her hands as she posed for a photo.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-183.jpg)
Okay, I wasn’t really stuck. I was looking forward to meeting her! Don’t expect anything but surly expressions from the Queen of Hearts. She has that villainous freeze-face thing, probably from yelling, “Off with your head!” so many times.
![The Queen of Hearts with an I don't know expression during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-184.jpg)
Tweedles
Here is a photo I got of the Tweedles before they left. One of these days, we’ll time it right and meet them properly.
![The Tweedles greeting guests during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party near the Mad Tea Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-186.jpg)
Mirabel and Bruno (New for 2024!)
Mirabel and Bruno Madrigal were listed as new characters for the 2024 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! They will meet in Fairytale Garden, where Mirabel meets regularly. Besides the Adventure Friends character cavalcade, this will be Bruno’s first character meet-and-greet appearance in the parks!
![Mirabel from Encanto at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/mirabel-mickeys-halloween-party-character.jpg)
Minnie Mouse
Minnie Mouse, Donald, and Daisy Duck meet inside the circus tent at Dumbo’s Flying Elephant during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. We waited a little over an hour to meet them on the first night of the party.
![the entrance to the Minnie, Donald, and Daisy Duck meet-and-greet at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-116.jpg)
Minnie Mouse is dressed in her Halloween costume. She will have a new look for the 2024 party.
![Minnie Mouse in a Halloween Costume.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-091.jpg)
She begins meeting guests at 7:00 p.m. and signs autographs. Note that this meet-and-greet is a two-for-one. You’ll meet Donald with Daisy first and then Minnie Mouse. This is an excellent location if you’re waiting out bad weather because it’s indoors. I have also met some of the kindest people while waiting in line at this location.
![Minnie Mouse poses in her witch costume.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-096.jpg)
Donald and Daisy Duck
Donald Duck and Daisy Duck meet beside Minnie Mouse in the circus tent at Dumbo, the Flying Elephant. Daisy is dressed like a princess, while Donald is a pumpkin.

They love to carry on with each other.

Pirate Goofy
Goofy meets as a pirate at this year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Like most character meet-and-greets, he comes out at 7:00 p.m. He meets in front of The Barnstormer.
![Goofy dressed as a pirate outside the Barnstormer during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-127.jpg)

Anastasia and Drizella
Anastasia and Drizella are roaming characters at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. We didn’t have enough time to look for them this year, but we confirmed their return with a cast member. They are usually out between the back of Cinderella Castle and Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train. It doesn’t take much to locate them.
![Anastasia and Drizella in their pink and green gowns.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-177.jpg)
![Anastasia and Drizella are wandering villains at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-178.jpg)
Rock ‘n’ Roll Stitch
Rock ‘n’ Roll Stitch (Elvis Stitch) meets next to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland. Last year, I got in line to meet Stitch at 6:34 p.m. Approximately 40-50 guests were ahead of me. He arrived at 6:45 p.m. From that point, the line only grew longer. Stitch left for a break at 7:09 p.m. and returned at 7:15 p.m. I met him at 7:30 p.m.
![Stitch meets guests in his Elvis costume at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.](https://www.resortsgal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/disneyhalloweencharacters-188.jpg)
Princess Fairytale Hall
Princess Fairytale Hall is listed as a trick-or-treat location in 2024. We don’t know whether the princesses will greet guests as they pick up Halloween candy, but it’s a nice idea. We’ve experienced similar situations on the treat trail at Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash. It would be nice if some of those fast-moving lines were incorporated at Walt Disney World.
Princess Fairytale Hall features characters such as Tiana, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Elena of Avalor.
Final Thoughts
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is the perfect place to meet rare characters, get autographs, and take a few photos! Our only complaint is the long waits at so many of the meet-and-greets. So, if the character meets are important to you, be prepared to wait. Prioritizing which characters you want to meet the most and forming a plan to meet them will go a long way.
