Halloween starts two days before the first party
The installation comes ahead of the first Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on August 7. The separately ticketed event runs on select nights through October 31.
The wreaths place a Mickey-shaped pumpkin inside a ring of autumn leaves and fruit. They are a familiar seasonal marker on Main Street, U.S.A., but this year's first installation is now official.
Party dates, new Stitch entertainment and merchandise details are available in our 2026 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party overview.
