Credit: DisneyLast week, we reported that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning to Magic Kingdom this August. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Disney previously replaced the beloved party with more limited offerings like Disney After Hours BOO Bash. Though this event sold out in 2021, it received backlash from fans for limited character sightings, shorter event hours, and longer lines compared to previous Halloween events.
Much to the excitement of Guests, the fan-favorite Halloween event will return starting August 12 with additional offerings celebrating Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Guests will receive a Halloween-themed commemorative print celebrating the Park’s anniversary as well as a reusable trick-or-treating tote bag.
For fans of Disney’s PhotoPass service, even more event-exclusive magical photo opportunities will be available, with some possibly celebrating both Halloween and the 50th Anniversary.

And in addition to the reusable trick-or-treating tote bag, guests will also receive a Halloween-themed 50thAnniversary celebration commemorative print.
This news comes as Disney Parks celebrated Halfway to Halloween, announcing limited-time merchandise, food, and other special offerings to commemorate the spooky season drawing nearer.
