Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is just around the corner, and that’s obvious from the Halloween decorations that are already up all around the Magic Kingdom. A night full of fun, frights, parades, and more awaits anyone that attends. Two of the biggest questions are always – What costume should you wear? and What can’t you wear?
That’s why you need a handy costume guide.
Even though Disney is allowing costumes for the parties, there are some guidelines and rules to secure entry into the park. Throughout the year, Disney does not allow anyone 14-years-old or older to wear a costume in any of their theme parks.
Rules are in place for both children and adults as to what their costume can look like or consist of. There are guidelines and policies in place, and you simply don’t want to not be allowed into the park.
Masks
Guests 13 and under may wear masks as long as the eyes are visible and the mask doesn’t cover the entire face.
Guests who are 14 and older may not wear masks of any kind.
Costumes
- Capes are allowed to be worn if they do not go further down than the waist.
- Costumes cannot go to the ground or drag on the ground at all.
- Layered costumes surrounding the entire body could result in additional security screening but aren’t exactly prohibited.
- Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another guest.
Disney states they reserve the right to deny entry to anyone based on their discretion – please note that dressing in a costume very similar to a Disney character could result in not being allowed into the party. If you are dressed too similar to a Disney Princess or Disney Villain (basically any human character), you may be denied entry or asked to change.
If you are dressed very similarly to a Disney character and allowed entry into the party in your costume, you may be given additional instructions.
- Do not post for photographs with other guests
- Do not sign autographs for guests
Disney is not against removing you from the park. Trust me, we’ve seen it happen many times before.
Be creative with your costumes and try to be different. There have been some great ones over the years.
Illuminations and Wishes
Props
Things like a toy lightsaber or a toy sword will be allowed into the party as the company does sell them inside the parks.
As for other kinds of toy weapons, Disney states that “weapons of any kind, objects that appear to be weapons or toy guns” are not allowed into the park. Seriously, do not even attempt to bring in a toy weapon of some kind. It won’t be allowed in and there’s no need to cause a possible scene.
After all is said and done, you can always refer to the official page for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to see the official costume guidelines. Just remember, bring a change of clothes if you aren’t sure your costume will be allowed in.
