Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular is scheduled for 10 p.m. Eastern on August 7, giving Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party its first clear 2026 fireworks time at Magic Kingdom.
The first Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade starts at 8:15 p.m. in 2026. That keeps the Headless Horseman and the main parade in the early part of the night, before the castle fireworks crowd settles into the hub.
The party runs from 7 p.m. to midnight, and ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom starting at 4 p.m. The 8:15 and 10 p.m. anchors matter because the event is short once candy trails, rare characters, ride overlays, photos, dinner, and castle viewing all start competing for the same five hours.
2026 MNSSHP Entertainment Times
- First Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade: 8:15 p.m. Eastern.
- Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular: 10 p.m. Eastern on August 7.
Boo-to-You remains a twice-nightly parade during the Halloween party, with Mickey, Minnie, Disney villains, Haunted Mansion performers, pirates, grave diggers, candy floats, and the parade song that will probably be in your head before you reach Town Square.
Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular is the party fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington, with castle projections, lasers, lights, fireworks, and a Mickey-and-friends haunted-house story built for the Halloween event.
What the Times Mean for the Party Night
If Boo-to-You is the must-do, the 8:15 p.m. start gives families a shot at the parade before the night gets too late. Guests staying until midnight can still use the first parade window for the full entertainment run, then move into fireworks, rides, treat trails, or characters without waiting for the end of the party.
The 10 p.m. fireworks time also keeps the main castle show in the middle of the event instead of pushing it near close. That gives the back half of the party room to breathe, especially for anyone who wants Main Street after fireworks or one more lap through the treat trails before the park clears.
